HOME SOLDIERS
RECEIVE PRAISE
One Hundred Twenty-third Artil-
lery Fought and Beat the
Prussian Guard.

That the One Hundred Twenty
third field artillery, formerly the
old Sixth regiment, l. n. G., has
been cited three times for bravery
and distinguished service in action
is news that a letter to Governor
Lowden from Colonel Charles G.
Davis, the commander, brings.
There are many Rock Island men
in this regiment, which saw much
fighting in the American sector in
France.
After the operations against the
St Mihiel salient, Major General
Summerall, commanding the First
division, commended the regiment
''for great devotion to duty and
efficiency in advancing over muddy
and difficult roads under the worst
weather conditions and rendering
at all times invaluable support to
the attacking infantry during the
advance of Sept. II and l., 1918"
On Sept II Major General Dick
man, who is now leading the Amer
lean army into Germany, trans
mited the following order from
General Pershing commencing the
One Hundred Twenty-second, One
Hundred Twenty-third, and One
Hundred Twenty-fourth field artil-
lery, all Illinois regiments: please
accept my sincere congratulations
on the successful and important
part taken by the officers and men
of the Fourth corps in the first Of
fensive of the First American army
on Sept IL and 49, The courageous
dash and vigor or our troops has
thrilled our country and evokes the
enthusiasm of our allies. Please
convey to your command my heart
felt appreciation of their splendid
work | am proud of you all"
Brigadier General Todd, in com
mand of the Fifty-eighth field artil-
lery brigade, on Oct. IT commended
the regiment 'for immediate and
consistent support of the infantry
in a rapid advance against a stoutly
resisting enemy northwest of Yer
dun and steady artillery offensive
against enemy counter attacks over
most difficult terrain and against
adverse weather conditions extend
ing over Is days"
Colonel Davis writes:
Citations are not common in the
American army, and we greatly
value such as we have received.

/ An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight a German or a

C's-a clean mouth, clean skin, and

from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxa-
tive should be taken. Such a one is
made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Hot lemonade
should be used freely il attacked by
a cold, and the patient should be put

To prevent the attack of bronchitis

discovered by DR.. Pierce, and, as they
flush the bladder and cleanse the kid

1t is important that broths, milk,
buttermilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the
system and increase the vital resist

the use of the Anuric tablets, but in
