To show that the work OF the
ambulancier is not all pleasure,
however, he cites an experience OF q
fellow driver. The latter says:
During the Boche advance these
fellows had no regular post-they
Just ran up as close as they could
to the Huns and then load their
cars and go on. Well. one of them

looked and acted as though he'd
fall dead at the sight of a Boche.
somehow got lost with a load of
"blesses" and finally ended up in the
Roche lines, and there is where he
showed the real stuff.
He put the French officer who
was riding on the seat with him in
side, then smeared mud and clay
all over his car to make 1t unrecog-
nizable and then put on an old Boche
helmet and with a revolver on his
seat next TO him he made one dash
through the masses of Boehe troops
and the old boy got back safe.
When later the officer questioned
him about his trip to Germany he
said very slowly. told you that
they couldn't get me-.

A GREAT CHANGE
ENTERS INTO LIFE
OF STOREKEEPER

A certain unassuming gentleman
in this city who happens to be a
prominent dealer in furniture and
who up to a few weeks ago had be-
come a recluse because of his phys
ical condition. tells this remarkable
and most interesting tale:
For number of years." he said,
"I have been so closely confined to
my business working. zealously to
make my store representative in
every respect that wear and tear
finally got me, my face became
drawn and haggard and my dispo-
sition scanned to urge people to
evade me. It was then that I be-
gan to despise my own company. My
bookkeeper, who has been with me
a long time, one day suggested that
I needed a rest and that my nerves
required attention. She told me that
her father had been in the state
of health which I was experiencing
and that he had taken Phosphated
Iron. Look at him now, she said.
He works ten hours a day and ap-
pears to be the happiest man in the
world, which he believes he is. he
says
"All this happened less than a
month ago. I followed the advice
and look at me now. Back in the
harness with smile all the while.
am feeling more fit than ever.
When / see tired looking face the
name of Phosphated Iron imme-
diately comes in my mind. I am
convinced that it is converting many
a worn out body into life rich in
thought, ambition and enthusiasm. I"

Railways Increases
Strike Outside State

Railways companies throughout
Pennsylvania are not the only ones
which have made and are contem-
plating fare increases, according to
information received here to-day.
Announcement was made by the
Committee on Ways and Means TO
Obtain Additional Revenue of the
American Steel Railways Associa lion
that Cleveland, widely known as the
low fare city and where for years
a three-cent fare has been charged,
has been placed, because of the in
creased cost of operation and ma
terials. in the five-cent car fare class.
In addition the railways company
there is now charging an additional
cent for transfer-and because of
the routing system in vogue there,
more than one of every three riders
must use transfers. Under this ar
rangement Cleveland is now practi-
cally in the six-cent class.
