CORP. CHISHOLM
 GETS IN HERO CLASS

The heroism displayed by the American boys in France is being brought home every day, and from all accounts received from the front, all that is necessary for one of our boys to make a hero of himself is chance. The following is an account of the conduct of Corp. Alex Chisholm, a son of J. C. Chisholm of this city, which appeared recently in the Los Angeles Examiner:
 Corp. Alex Chisholm of Los An geles was with detail one night that was tending a road, in the Champagne district, filling shell holes and opening and closing the road for passage ot artillery, with movable lengths of barbed wire defenses stretched on cross-frames. Chisholm volunteered to go to the rear for coffee and blank cts. On the way back he came upon a wounded infantryman. He took the wounded man on his back and carried him mile to where a dressing station had been; it had moved, so he carried the infantryman half a mile along a trail to it. Then he got the coffee and blankets and returned with them to his detachment. All the time he had been under shell fire. The same Chis- holm witnessed counter attack of our troops from an observation post in a tree, with shells whizzing by; he was not crowded up there.
 Throughout the action whenever an engineer had fulfilled his mission, he helped wounded men to the rear, or gave stretcher bearers a hand or as- sisted stalled teamsters or motor truck men.

Meadorsville, Ky.-Mrs. Pearl Pat rick. of this place, writes: T was very constipated. had sour stomach and was so uncomfortable. I went to the doctor. He gave me some pills. They weakened me and seemed to. tear up my digestion. They would gripe me and afterwards 1t seemed I was more constipated than before.
 I heard of Black.Draught and de. cided to try It. found it just what I needed. It was an easy laxative, and not bad to swallow. My digestion soon improved. got we'll of the sour stom- sch. my bowels soon seemed normal, no more griping, and I would take a dose now and then, and was in good shape.
 I cannot say too much for Black, Draught for 1t is the finest laxative one can use."

 A note to let you know that 1 am getting along fine and feel great. 1 got letter from Irene with Landra's and Georges enclosure. Send on the drawing and also enclose any photo graphs that you snap. Believe me, that letter was like sweet sunshine. 1t was the first have had since at Mills. 1 don't know if you got any of my mail yet, but l will write as often as l can. Everything is sure fine here and like it better than any camp I've been in, because it is more like home. These French people are wonderful-very generous to a fellow, and the little kids are wise little owls. l only wish l could make you feel as good as l do, but no doubt the war news you get there vii make you feel good. l believe you can send Flag staff papers to me. l have so many things of interest 1 want to tell you, but will have to wait till l get home. 1t rained here this morning for the first time and is now clearing off. We had a gorgeous sunset last night and warm night.
 1 attended an entertainment at the Y. M. sometime ago, which was fine.
 The French railroads are better than the English, but both are far behind the American engines. We are now living in stone houses, which are quaint and many hundred years old. We have big fire place in our room and sun shines in at morning and the birds sing. This is fine country, but not like America. The wooden shoes seem comical. People here use hand carts a great deal.
 Love and kisses to all.
