ttOUR BOYS" SMILE AS
THEY COMIC BATTLE

Over 5000 American trucks, all
heavily laden, have passed our front
door in this last big drive Every man
in charge came in for rest and refresh
ment and little chat with one OF his
native tongue, then with the smile of
the soldiers and a wave of the hand in
farewell, "Good-by until we meet
again."
After every battle and at intervals
we see '-our boys coming back
Blood soaked, weary, but oh, how
brave. -our boys" with bayonet and
shell wounds will tell you quickly and
firmly, Il am all O. h, Il can wait,
Look after Jim there" or Look after
this lad; he's gassed-" The pity and
the brutality of that horrible gas,

efficient care is given to him iInmedi-

the only spot vacant and available was
the small private dressing room used
exclusively by We American women
We excluded all the women, put the
general in our private dressing room,
with hot and cold water, and on the
outside of the door we wrote a note
and pinned it up, reading:
..BEWARE[Girls stay out. The gen.

When our guest finished and came

read it with amusement, because he

Watch Your Stomach
In the Summer Time

Hot summer days upset the
strong stomachs as wen as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather Is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train of
stomach ills that make life mis-
cradle are greatly aggravated in
the hot weather.
This year of all others-it is
vital that we keep our strength
and full power at work. The ex-
