CHAPTER XIII.
LImeys, Anzaes and Poilus.

One night, while we were expecting
an attack, the word was passed down
the line to have the wire cutters ready
and to use bayonets only for the FIRST
part Of the attack, for we were to try
and take the first enemy trench By
surprise. The first trench was only
about eighty yards away. Our big guns
opened up and at zero we climbed out
and followed the curtain Of fire too
closely, 1t seemed to me.
But the barrage stopped too soon,
as 1t does sometimes, and there were
plenty of Turks left. We were half
way across when they saw US, and
they began banging away at us very
hard. They pounded at Us as we came
on until we were given the order to
retire, almost al we were on them
what was left Of us.
As We turned and started back the
Turks rushed out to counter-attack us,
the first Of them busy with bombs.
Then I tripped over something and
rolled around a while and then saw
1t was Philippe Pierre. His left leg
was dangling, cloth and flesh and all
shot away and the leg hanging to the
rest Of him by q shred. Two or three
Of our men who were on their way

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN It
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair Is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using IL to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living In an age when a youth
full appearance is Of the greatest ad-
vantage.
. Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other ingredients, called "Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound" II Is very
popular because nobody can discover
II has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with II and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, Is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, IL also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation Is de-

Start Tomorrow
and Keep 1t Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking a
glass of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look well. what glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed toXeel
dull and heavy when they arise, s}lit-
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hoty
water with a teaspoonful of limestone'
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days lGigestibie waste, sour bile
ard 20; sonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sveetcning and purifying the entire
lalimelItary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action OF
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. t cleans out all the sour
fermeltationss gases, waste and
acidity aad gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume ofwater from the
blood and getting ready for q
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions Of people who lare
bothered with constipation. bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins. blood disorders and
