yOnd the parade ground, and he had suffered from the young soldiers in- evitable fear of fear.
 So he resigned himself to his situa- ton. He emptied his water bottle and, gripping the end of his gauge roll with his teeth, managed to bandage his wound sufficiently to stop the bleed ing. The languOr, however, was in- creasing. Sometimes he would doZe for few moments, awakinS with a start. to wonder where he was, and what had happened. The air was very still. The shouts had long since died away, the rifle firing was q distant cracking; the tremulous staccato tap ping of the machine guns was like the roll of drums far away.
 Wallace must have slept for a pro- longed period. for when next he be- came conscious he started up to see, to his intense astonishment, q pretty little girl of three or four years, stand- ing in front of him and looking at him. He rubbed his eyes, expecting her to disappear But she was still there, and just as he was beginning to piece to- sether a Spanish phrase she spoke to him in English.
 'T want my daddy"
 Wallace reached out and drew the child toward him. "Where is your daddy?' he asked. And who are you?"
 "Im Eleanor" she answered, "and won't you please find my daddy for mef
 She pointed with a grimy little hand toward the interior of the shack, and Wallace, struggling to his feet with a great effort, made his way inside.
 It was almost dark in the hut, and Wallace could only make out with diff ficulty the form of man who lay, face downward, upon the ground near the wall. Presently, however, as his eyes became more accustomed to the ob- scurity, he saw the bullet wound in the back of the head.
 He looked up at the child, who stood by, unconcerned. "Go away, Eleanor" he said gently.
 The child, too young to know any thing of death, went out of the hut and began to play in the shaft of sun light that filtered through the branches of the palms. Wallace searched the

 So this man had been the child's fla ther, and, apart from her speech, his celoriag showed that he had been an American. Wallace concluded that he had been planter, trapped in Santi- ago. He raised the body in his arms and tried 10 turn It over, but let it fall when he saw the work that the bullet had made of the face. He must not let the little girl carry away any thing of such memory as that!
 He Eroped his way outside and beckoned to her. What is your other name, Eleanor?" he asked.
 The little girl only looked at him ; 1t was evident that she did not under stand the meaning of his question.

 My daddy has gone away. l want him." said the child. beginning to whimper.
 Wallace tried her once more. "Where Is your mammal" he asked.
 But she said nothing, and he sat down, propping himself against the shack. He drew the little girl down beside him.
 Now listen to me, Eleanor" he said. Your daddy has gone away. He will be gone for long time. You must be good and patient, and soon somebody will come to take care of you. Do you underestimate"
 The child's lip quivered, but she did not cry. She fixed her large gray eyes upon him.

Texas Lady Thus Describes Con- dition She Was In. Then Tells
 How Cardui Relieved Her.

West, Texas-Mrs. J. A. Hunter, of this place, recently made the following statement: q have known of Cardui for years-when a girl, my mother gave it to me to stop pains. and 1t certainly did me great deal of good.
 After marriage I was in rundown state of health and nervous, not at all like my usual self. 50 much so that I had to go to bed I began taking Cardui. soon I was strong, able to do my work, even my washing.
 I have been well since. and I can recommend Cardui and gladly do so... Whenever I over-work and feel tired. draggy, worn-out, I take a few doses of Cardui. It strengthens me, gives me an appetite, seems to strengthen my back, and I soon feel like going to work again.
 I think all women should keep and use Cardui. It is splendid"
 If you are suffering from any of the symptoms Mrs. Hunter mentions, try Cardui, the womans tonic.
 In use for over 40 years, Cardui has helped thousands of women.
 Cardui is composed of mild, medic. inal, vegetable ingredients aeknowl- edged by standard medical writers to be of benefit in many female dis orders.

grimy hands. Her cheek snuggled into the hollow of his arm. The lieutenant was curiously touched by this unc0n- scious confidence.
 He issued from his ordeal of pain at last, when the bearers halted in front of the line of tents that served for a field hospital Stretchers by the dozen were piled about the ground, and more were arriving constantly. Wounded men, guided by the sound, came limpiug in on the last lap of their painful journeys. Others, who had ar- rived but had not yet been attended to, sat or lay in front of the tents. Or derlies were scurrying to and fro. Ma jor Howard caught one of the regi- mental surgeons, who looked Mark over quickly and then picked the child out of the streteher.
 Hello! Who's this?' he asked.
 "Friend of his" said the major, in- dicating Mark.
 "She doesn't look like Cuban young lady" said the doctor, as he cut away the sleeve of the tunic.
 Tier fathers dead. Hit by a shell on his way from Santiago. I think he was an American" said Mark.
 "Give her to me. 1 never had one, said the doctor, suddenly injecting hypodermic into Marks arm.
 Not after that" said Mark, Winc- ing. Besides, I'm thinking of adopt ing her myself"
 And he wondered what had made him say that when the thought had hardly reached his own conscious ness.
 "See here, young man! Let me look at that arm of yours before you talk that way. Hum! You'll be running round in couple of weeks, as we'll as ever."
 "Thank heaven for that !" ejaculated Mark fervently. "Then I'll be In at the death."
 q doubt it. I won't pass you for duty for six months to come" said the doctor, grinning. Then, seeing Marks dejected look, he added, more seri. ously:
 You may thank the modern high power bullet that you are going to keep your arm, my boy. It's drilled a nice little pencil-hOle clean through the joint, instead of shattering il, and that's got to be filled in with new growth. Even I cant grow bones in a week. l wish I could. Ten years ago your arm would have had to come off. There's nothing more I can do for you, my son. he added, as he smeared some sticky stuff over the wound and began adjusting q bandage. except tie you up and put you ill the hospital to- night, and send you down to the base in the morning"
 "The devil you will! I guess I'm am"
 Here, I haven't any more time to waste on you!" said the doctor "Pounce will make you q sling and you'll go into that tent and stay there. or I'll cashier you. You won't be feel ing so spry tomorrow morning. Get out '"
 He strode away leaving Mark look ing into the grinning black face of Johnson.
 After the sling had been adjusted he discovered that the sense of we'll being, due to the hypodermic, was al- ready beginning to leave him. His servant helped him into the tent and Major Howard brought in the little girl, who at once coiled herself up to sleep at Wallaces side.

Iron in Ukrainia.

Within the boundaries of Ukrai- mia are found the principal available deposits of iron ore in Russia. The development of the iron ore deposits of the Krivoi Rog district has been mainly responsible for the rapid growth of the Russian iron and steel industry which now depends to an extent of about 70 per cent on the iron ore in the southern part of the country.

NOW N Fifth
YEAR OF WAR
Austria Declared War on
Little Serbia on July
2S, 1914
GERMANY GOT
STARTED JULY %

Tho .ffth year Of the war began
yesterday. II was on July 2s. i9iA, that
Austria, at tho bidding OF Germany,
formally started the struggle by de
clertng war on Serbia. Today marks
the fourth anniversary OF Germany's s
declaration OF war against Russia.
The German declaration against
France was issued August 3, i9i4, and
against Belgium, August 4. Austria
declared war on Russia August Q. The
first OF the Allies 10 enter the con-
fliot by formal announcement was
France, whose declaration against Ger
many appeared August 3, followed Au-
August q, by that OF Great Britain
against Germany.
So this is the week OF anniversaries
of the series Of explosions which, be-
ginning with comparatively mild
crack in the Balkans, have torn the
world 10 pieces In an upheaval Of hu-
man forces which has already lasted
longer than any one thought possi-
bic at the outset.
The fateful and glorious event Of the
fourth year has been the beginning OF
Americas full participation In the
war and her decision 20 use force,
force 10 tho utmost" the carrying out
OF which Is made possible by the
checking OF the submarine, shipbuild-
ing beyond tho dream OF optimists,
swift and orderly expansion OF mill
tary establishment through the draft,
tremendous cohesive and patriotic ef-
fort throughout America and the dis
ruptlon or conversion OF those forces
which threatened for a time TO weaken
tho arm behind the clenched fist.
A year ago we had few regulars
and National Guardsnen In France, our
total force overseas being only 29,9e7
on August 4, 1917. The number grew
steadily last winter, but did not begin
90 show what the United states was
capable OF until the great German Of
fensive, beginning March q, found the
Allies with "their backs 10 the wall
and Il was demonstrated that America
must triple and quadruple her speed
il she was not TO be too late.
On July 4. a month ago, we had t.
Oi9.ii5 troops In France and Italy, the
number Is now more than i,250,OOO.
We are transporting about 10000 a
month. still few on the fighting line
in comparison with the soldiers of the
Allies. we have been able 20 play a
brilliant part in the stemmins and
backthrusting Of the Germans on the
Marne.
With the help Of America, the Allies
are at last able TO see the way out OF
the crisis precipitated by the Russian
collapse. Italy's temporary defeat last
fan and the new series OF smashes by a
heartened and reinforced Germany.
The German machine has been forced
to strike and strike again, trying 10
achieve decision In the field before
the American forces resch f1ll
strength, and each thrust, while gain
ing precious ground, has been weaker
than the last. until now the Germans
are being beaten backward in the duel
on the Marne.

countries have declared war on Ger

Editor OF "Physician's who's who" Makes
Important Statement.

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are continually
being advertised for the purpose OF max
ing thin people neshy. developing arms,
neck and bust. and replacing ugly hol-
lows aud angles by the soft curved lines
of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands OF men and women who keenly
feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness aud weakness are usually
due 20 starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than a contained IN
modern. foods Physicians claim there
Is nothing that win supply this deficiency
50 well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bitro- phosphate. which
Is inexpensive and Is sold By n. B. Dan
forth and most all druggists under a
guarantee OF satisfaction or money back.
BY feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, bitro- phosphate
quickly produces a welcome transfOrma-
tlon In the appearance: the increase In
weight frequently being astonishing.
Clinical tests made in ST. Catherlne's
Hospital. y. Y. C., showed that two pa
tient6 gained IN weight . and 27 Aounds,

Of this organic phosphate; both patients
