important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased
You may suffer paiS in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and maybe Respondent; it makes
anyone so.
But hundreds of women claim that DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing to thousands of nervous,
over-worked women.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney
liver and bladder medicine will do for
them. Every reader of this paper, who

CHAPTER Kill.

After a march of Is kilometers we
reached the town of Jametz. Here
everything was offered us by the in
habitants. We were treated with cof-
fee, milk and meat. We went on early
the next morning and in the evening
arrived at Damvillers, where we heard
that we were about five kilometers be-
hind the firing line. The same evening
we advanced to the little village OF
Wavrille, which was our destination.
We took up our quarters in house
which had been abandoned by its In
habitants. We were attached to the
Ninth reserve division and the next
morning went to our position. Fifteen
OF US were assigned to duty with an
infantry company. On the entire line,
as far as we could see, there was no
musketry fire. Only the artillery on
both sides kept up weak action. We
were not accustomed to this quietude
in the trenches, but the men who had
been there for some time told US that
frequently not a single shot was fired
for days and that no activity was
shown.

Too Much for the Skunk.

Mr.. Cackle Berry vouches for the fol-
lowing story:
A Frenchman, an Englishman, an
IriShman and German prisoner were
In an argument as to which was the
braveSt.
A Yank overheard the controversy
and decided to settle it. Pointing to
a nearby poultry house, he told them
that there was q skunk inside and
asked the Irishman TO step inside and
see how long he could stand it.
Pat did as he was told. In five min
utes he came out. The Epglishman fol-
lowed, but he stood it only four min
utes. The Frenchman next tried 1t,
but five minutes was enough for him.
1t was the Germans turn. He went
in and the others waited. The minutes
passed - 0-three-fOur-fiv

large. Most of the men killed were
shot through the head, the trench pro-
tecting the remainder of their bodies.
Firing increased in intensity as
night fell. Although nothing could be
seen we continued firing all the time
because we thought this would prevent
the enemy from making any attacks.
Through the nights munitions and ma
terial were brought up and new men
arrived. Great quantities of sandbags
were sent us, which were filled and
used as a protection against bullets.
The pioneers were relieved toward
morning and gathered in a farmyard
behind the firing line. The farm had
been spared by the cannon, and even
all the stock remained. This booty
was soon to be consumed. Several
hundred soldiers came and wild hunt
ensued for ducks, chickens, geese, pig
cons, etc. About five hundred of these
were caught, after which everybody
began cooking. Not far away so cows
and heifers were seized and turned
over to the field kitchens. Hay and
grain were carried away, even the
strawstacks and barns were torn down
and the lumber used for firewood. In
few hours a beautiful farm had be-
come ruin and the proprietor beg
gar. I had seen the owner in the
morning, but he had suddenly disap-
peared with his wife and children, and
nobody knew where he was.
The next night we were sent into
the trenches again. There was little
to do, so we talked with the men who
had REINFORCED us from the interior
Of Germany. They knew absolutely
nothing of our retreat from the Marine
and were astonished when we pictured
to them the events Of the last few
days.
The following morning we left the
trench before daybreak and went into
quarters at Cernay-en-DormOis. We
were billeted in the middle Of the viii
lage in an abandoned house. Our field
kitchens failed to arrive, so we pre-

pared ourselves a meal of fowl and
whatever else we discovered. When
ever anyone espied a chicken there
were twenty men racing for it. Toward
evening long provision trains arrived,
as well as fresh troops. They went
TO the front in long columns and re
lieved the exhausted men.
Soon the whole village was crowded
with soldiers. After a rest of two days
the regular nightly pioneer service was
resumed. Every night we were sent
to the front-line trenches TO build wire
obstacles. The French found US out
by the noise required to set up the
posts, so that we had fresh losses
almost every night. We completed the
task OF setting up barbed wire entan-
clements in the sector assigned to US
in about fourteen days. During this
period we rested by day. but at night
we went out regularly. But our rest
had many Interruptions, for the enemy
artillery bombarded the village regu-
larry. This always happened at GER
tain hours, for instance, in the begin
ming, every noon from twelve to two
o'clock, fifty TO eighty shells fell in the
village. Sometimes they were shrap-
mel, sent over by the field artillery. We
soon grew accustomed to this, despite
the fact that soldiers OF other detach-
ments were killed or wounded daily.
Once or twice during this noon bom-
bardment shrapnel shell fell into our
room and burst without doing much
damage. The room would be filled
with dust and smoke, yet no one would
think of leaving. This firing w2s re-

eleven o'clock that night, and with the
utmost haste made ready to resume
our march. The night was pitch dark
and the rain continued. At daybreak
we passed the city of st. Menehould.
This had not been harmed. From here
we turned to the east, closely pressed
by the French and in the afternoon we
reached Clermont-en-ArgOnn Once
more we managed to get rest OF sew
eral hours. Toward evening we pro-
ceeded again and maintained forced
march through the whole night. We
were now more exhausted than ever,
yet could not halt.
The rain had stopped before ten
o'clock in the morning at which hour
we left the road and made camp.
There was a general sigh of relief, for
this long-continued, wearing retreat
now become uncomfortable. We began
to dig ourselves in. Before our
trenches were even half completed
literal hailstarm of shrapnel fell
among us. Our losses were so great
that it became impossible to remain.
We marched over the fields until dark,
when we began once more to dig In.
We were now near the village of Ger
hay-en-Dormois. 1t was pitch dark and
a heavy fog lay over everything. OF
the enemy we knew nothing. With the
t,+Y ell nd 6IrU
selves in deeply, stopping frequently
to listen as hostile raiding parties ap-
preached, only to disappear quickly.
Here we received our first re-
endorsements. They arrived in long
columns in the darkness. All were
fresh troops-most of them reserves.
The majority wore blue uniforms. This
as well as the nature of their equip
ment, indicated to US that they had
been hastily fitted out and transported.
None of them had ever heard the
whistle Of a bullet and many asked
anxiously whether it was dangerous
here. They brought numerous ma
chine guns, and in an instant we had
everything prepared for defense.
At daylight the French began the at
tack. They made several onslaughts
throughout the day but without sue
cess, for our re-enforcements were
large.
No one realized at this stage of the
battle that it was the beginning of
murderous, exhausting struggle for po-
sitions.
We were to fight here from the same
trench, month after month, without
gaining territory. The wounded, who
lay in No Mans Land between the
trenches, were left to perish.
The French tried to rescue them IN
der the protection of the Geneva flag,
The emblem of the Red Cross, but we
only sneered at them and shot it to
bits. The impulse to shoot down the
enemy surpassed every human feeling.
The Red Cross flag had lost all its
value for US when it was raised by the
French. Mistrust was nurtured among
US. We were told that the enemy mis-
used the flag and that we must shoot
down the men that bore il.
We repulsed all attacks until they
gradually ceased. We were now able
to fortify our position, which we did
with the greatest care, making it as
strong as possible Half the men re
manned on guard while the other half
aeepened and widened the trenches. A
lively fire was maintained continuous
y by both sidss. The losses were very

CHAPTER x-Iontinued.


Night now came, yet no sleep nor
rest was in sight. No one knew how
much farther we would have to retire
before there would be respite. The
unfamiliar surroundings indicated to
us that we were not returning over the
road which we had traversed when, as
victors, we marched to the Marine.
With this and similar thoughts, hour
after hour passed. Some of us ran
along, others actually walked in their
sleep. Our boots were filed with wa
ter, yet we had to keep on. Thus the
night passed.
The next morning troops of the
main army were placed in the rear
guard. They formed long columns
which they opened to let US pass
through, after which they closed
ranks. We gave a sigh of relief, for
we were at last free of hostile artil-
lery fire. After marching about five
more hours, we joined a company of
infantry which fortunately had saved
its field kitchen. It was not quite
dark when we reached the village.
Here we were billeted in order to
get as much rest as possible. But we
all knew that we could rest only as
long as the rear guard was able to
keep back the enemy. We were placed
IN the -illage school. Because Of the
shortage of provisions we were al
lowed to use our timed supplies, but
none of us had any left. This consist
ed of some meat and bareback. 1t had
long since been eaten up and so we
were compelled to lie down with our
hunger still unsatisfied.
