the Germans began shelling q section
of the road too near me TO be comfort

about twenty yards of the road, to the
rear. A shrapnel shell exploded pretty
near me just as jumped into this
hole-I did not look around to see how
close it was-and I remember now
how the old minstrel Joke had heard

time-somethlng about fellow feel.

and pulled it after him-and I wished
I might do the same. flattened my
self as close against the wall of the
crater as I could and then I noticed
that somebody had made a dugout In
the other wall Of the crater and l
started for it.
The shells were exploding so fast
by that time that you could not listen
for each explosion separately, and Just

SALTS f BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
NEAT for . while if your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake up with backaoh6 and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-lnown authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort Of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
10 coated, and when the weather il bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
. tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is q life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes q delightful, eder.

hail of shrapnel fell on the spot had
just passed. It was pretty dark in
the dugout and the first move I made
I bumped into somebody else and he
let out a yell that you could have
heard a mile. It was Tommy who
had been wounded in the hand and
between curses he told me had sat
right on his wound when I moved. I
asked him why he did not yell sooner,
but he only swore more. He surely
was a great cusser.
The bombardment slackened up q
bit about this time, and thought I
would have look around. did not
get out of the crater entirely, but
moved around out of the dugout until
could see the road had been On.
The first thing saw was a broken
down wagon that had just been hit
in fact, it was toppling over when my
eye caught it. The driver jumped
from his seat and while he was in the
air his head was torn completely from
his shoulders by another she'll DO
not know what kind. This was enough
for me, so back to the dugout.
How the Germans did it I do not
know, but they had found out about
that road and opened fire at exactly
the moment when the road was COW
cred with wagons and men. Yet there
had not been a balloon or airplane IN
the sky for some time.
After a while the bombardment
moved away to the east, from when
direction I had come, and / knew our
batteries were getting it. The Tommy
and 1 came out of the dugout. AS l
started climbing up the muddy SIDES
I saw there was man standing at
the edge of it, and I could tell by his
puttees that he was Limey. was
having hard Job Of it, SO without
looking up hailed him.
"That was sure some shelling,
wasn't it," I said. "There's Lao
down here with a wounded fin; better
give him q hand"
"What shelling do you mean," says
the legs, without moving, "Theres
been none in this sector for some
time, think"
The Tommy was right at my heel
by this time, and he let out string
of language. was surprised, too, ana
still scrambling around in the mud.
Then the Tommy let "Gawd 'elp
us !" and I looked up and saw that the
legs belonged to a Limey officer, a
major, think. And here we had been
cussfng the eyes off Of him!
But he sized it up rightly, and gave
us a hand, and only laughed when we
tried to explain. l got ratified ana
told him that all saw was his legs
and that they did not look like an ON
cer's legs, which might have made II
worse, only he was good-natured ABOUT
it. Then he said that ne had been
asleep in battalion headquarters Dug

crates and is q man about whom the
-militaritic elements of the en-
pire may gather in an effort to bring
about negotiated peace.
With their lines broken in many
places and held together only by su-
perhuman efforts at nearly every
point in the active sectors from the
North Sea to Verdun, the Germans
appear to have reached the limit of
their endurance and are beginning to
retreat. This withdrawal is not linn
tied to any single sector but evil
dences of it are reported at many
points along the battle line.
Outflanked and imperilled by the
advance of the Anglo Belgian armies
east of Ypres, the enemy is now rap
idly retiring from the La Bassee Sec
tor. It is reported that Menin and
Roulers are burning, that the Bel
gians are within two miles of Tur-
Going and that Lille is being emptied
Of its civilian population.
At St. Quentin
Around St. Quentin the fighting
still continues, but it has apparently
taken on the aspect of a rear guard
engagement at some points.
Near Rheims the Germans are
dropping back before the advance of
General Bethleot's army. In Cham
pagne the enemy is slowly giving
ground as General Gouraud moves
northward.
In the Belgian sector the situation
is seemingly most critical for the
Germans. Their retirement from La
Bassee would appear to make neces-
sary the abandonment of the district
of Lens to which the enemy has clung
with persistence since 1914. If Lille

big house. I kept wondering how he
would know so much about 1t, but fol-
lowed him. Inside the house was a
passageway under the ruins. It was
about seven feet wide and fifty feet
long, I should judge.
At the other end was the great old
''75," poking its nose out of hole in
the wall. The gun captain and the
crew were sitting around waiting the
word for action, and they seemed to
know Brown we'll. was surprised at
that, but still more so when he told
me l could examine the gun If I
wanted to, just as II he owned it.
So I sat in the seat and trained the
cross wires on an object, opened and
closed the breech and examined the
reeOil.
Then Brown said: swell, Chink,
you'll see some real gunnery now" and
they passed the word and took sta
lions. My eyes bulged out when I
saw Brown take his station with them!
"Silence" is about the first COM
mand n gun crew gets when it is going
into action, but forgot all about 1t,
and shouted out and asked Brown how
he got to be a gunner. But he only
grinned and looked dopey, as usual.
Then I came to and expected to get
call down from the officer, but he only
grinned and so did the crew. It
seems they had it all framed to spring
on me, and they expected I would be
surprised.
So we put cotton in our ears ana
the captain called the observation
tower short distance away and they
gave him the range. Then the captain
"called 4129 meters" to Brown. They
placed the nose of a shell in fuse
ad1uster and turned the handle until
1t reached scale 412S. This set the
fuse to explode at the range given
Then they slammed the shell into the
breech, locked It shut and Brown sent
his best to Fritz.
The barrel slipped back, threw out
the shell case at our feet and returned
over q cushion Of grease. Then we
received the results by telephone from
the observation tower. After he had
fred twelve shots the captain said tO

were not superstitious. At that, the
shadows along the walls made me feel

Finally Brown said: "Come on
down; let's see the '75's.'" At this
time had not seen a u.s." except on
q train going to the front, so l took
him up right away, but was surprised
that he should know where they were.

Little Boy Loses Finger.

Little James Hasby went out to the
grain fields Wednesday afternoon to
watch his father drive the harvesting
machine, and help his brothers raise
the heavy grain sheaves into beautiful
shocks, and after a while coming up
behind the binder he noticed that
around an oiling place had gathered a
heap of sand and dirt, and being an in
dustrious little fellow he concluded
that this was no place for such rub
Dish and was soon busy with his right
hand fore finger removing same I'm
luckily for James, however, his father
had not noticed his dangerous under
taking, but all of a sudden he started
the machine with the result that James
finger was caught between the chain
and sprocket wheel, and in less than
the twinkling of an eye he was des-
titute of half finger. Poor little boy
he wept bitterly at first at the loss Of
his finger but soon decided that the
wasting of tears was useless for so
trivial a matter as the losing of part
OF one finger when he anyhow had nine
whole ones left with which to fight
life's battles, and by the time he reach
ed Thief River Falls where he was
directly taken by his father to receive
the necessary surgical attention, he was
again wearing his brave juvenile smile.

Small Grain is Smelling.

l. All small grain this season is subject
more to shell than others years. A
wheat sheaf directly from the binder
that appears barely ripe to the eye will
if thrown with any force against the
ground leave large number of kernels
beneath, and upon examination it will
be seen that portions of the head cas-
ings have bursted open and has very
little hold on the kernels. Many farm
ers are harvesting their grain quite
green to avoid this and those who are
awaiting dead ripeness of their fields
may loose considerably. Threshers
predict that the new Marquis wheat
will be about as easy to thresh this
year as any other grain.
