AN OLD MANS COURAGE
Veteran of Three Wars Watches AM
putation of His Own Leo.

FAA1AAOH VI THO SNU Icy
A remarkable display of Spartan
courage was demonstrated in an oper-
alton performed on Emil Berheaud Of
Bellevue at an Omaha hospital.
Berheaud, who is seventy-seyen
years of age, froze his feet during the
cold weather two weeks ago and it
was found necessary to amputate both
legs. Because Of his advanced age a
general anaesthetic was deemed mad
visable and what is known as a spinal
anaesthetic was administered.
The aged man was conscious on the
operating table and watched the sur
geon cut off both legs at the knee.
When asked if he felt any pain, he
shook his head and muttered, Once q
soldier, always a soldier"
Berheaud was born in France and
served in the FTanco-Prussian. Civil
and Spanish-America wars

BOScHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP

Why use ordinary cough remedies,
when Boschee's German Syrup has
been used so successfully for fifty-one
years in all parts of the United
States for coughs, bronchitis, colds
settled in the throat, especially lung
troubles. 1t gives the patient good
nights rest, free from coughing, with
easy expectoration in the morning,
gives nature a chance to soothe the
inflamed parts, throw off the disease,
helping the patient to regain his
health. Made in America and sold for
more than half a century.-Ady.

A Newark leather firm has completed
experiments with whale, shark and

GETS FATHERS PARDON
Son in Service in France Writes to
the Governor of Ohio.

the Governor of Ohio.
A single word, "Pardoned" was
cabled to boy with the American ex-
peditionary forces in France by Gov
ernor Cox of Ohio the other day. 1t
is in answer to a letter received from
the Ohio soldier who asked that his
father be pardoned from the peniten-
tiary.
81 am willing to die for my country,
and l could die happy If l could but
know he is free to care for mother"
wrote the boy.
The man was freed with five other
prisoners recently. He was convicted
of stealing and had almost year more
to serve. At the request both of the
father and the son Governor Cox did
not make known the pardoned mans
name.

AUTHORS DOING THEIR "BIT"
Two Turn Translation Fees over to
War Charities.

war OHaFiIlcS.
Each of the literary world is doing
his bit as he sees 1t. 1t is reported that
Gilbert Chesterton has turned the
emolument received from a certain
source for translating French propa-
ganda document into English into some
needy war work.
Also the great Spanish writer, Senior
Azorin, has renewed this appreciably
happy geste as a result of the transla-
ton of one OF his recent works into
French by well known Partisan jour
nalist, NJ Glorget. He asked his trans
lator simply to turn in to any war
charity that he might choose the sum
due to him for translation rights.
Thus does the whole question of Irter-
national copyright enter a new realm.

EN-" were the last words of the first
West Pointer to die fighting Germany.
The story of this captains death was
told to the United Press by four Sam
mics who were with him when he fell.
These men are from Green Bay. Wis;
Minot, n. D., and two from Chicago.
The captain left his dugout when
the Germans started their raid on the
American trenches early Friday morn
ing. He ran through a fierce barrage
until he got in the midst of his men
ON strong point.
Shell Ends His Career.
AS he spoke his last words, he level
ed his revolver at the oncoming Boches.
A shell burst near by. He fell dead
without a sound.
This captain led fighting company.
Many of its men bear familiar Irish
names. The boy from Minot, N. D.,
told of the Americans first encounter
with the enemy I'm a stand-up battle.
He spoke in an Irish brogue so thick
1t could be cut with a knife.
1T was a merry scrap and we'll worth
having" said he. 1--WE had been ex-
pecting it and had party waiting for
Fritz. His barrage was pretty rough.
1t mussed things up considerable. But
it was not for our captain to lose his
head. He was as cool, as if going on
leave. For a time our platoon was
nearly surrounded. II was hot work.
The Dutch were behind us and in front
of US.
But it was not for US to back up.
We knew what our rifles were for, and
we used them to beat off the Dutch
Our captain was a gallant officer and
he died like a real fighting man."
Chicago Mans Experience.
The Green Bay lad was beside the
captain when he fell and told of his
I last order. Then the Chicago men
chimed in. relating why they thought
4 the raid was coming.
There was apparently an advance
celebration in the German trenches
1 the night before the attack" said one
1--WE could hear the band playing back
\ Of the German lines and they were
/ noisy all night long. Our patrols heard
| the Boches shout Come on over Ameri-
cans " and then. we're coming over,
I Americans
I'VE had no orders TO go over. but
there was a hot reception awaiting the
| Germans on our side"
The men. tired and dirty after their
trick in the trenches, topped by the
stiffest fight to date, remained very
cheerful They are ready for another
whirl at the enemy. They sat in cir
Gle in their rest billet on a dry spot
protruding from a sea of mud and
ankledeep water, slowing away slum,
bread and coffee.

VACUUM PLAN |S
 N0W CONSIDERED

That the city of Phoenix is making rapid strides towards metropolitan ism was indicated when City Man ager V. A. Thompson at the regular meeting of the city commission yes- terday morning, announced that there were now so many paved streets in Phoenix, the street depart ment must have more equipment in order to keep them clean. He said that the apparatus now in use was modern and answered every purpuse but that it had it's limitations.
 an additional motor driven flusher would serve the purpose or whether rotary brooms were more suited to the present needs. It was pointed out that the flusher would probably be unsuited, as it woui1 tax the drainage system beyond it's capacity and result in flooding of the streets. The choice seemed to rest between motor driven rotary driven sweepeIs and vacuum cleaners.
 As a result of the discussion, the city manager was directed to adver- tise for bids for rotary sweepers and for vacuum cleaners. It is expected that the needed apparatus will cost the city in the neighborhood of $7,000, but that the resulting clean liness of the streets will be well worth the cost.

before the courts in one form or anoth- CT for the past year, the present suit being instituted by Bruner, who exc cuted the bill of sale to the defendants in October, 1914, according to his com plaint.
 He alleges that while laboring under fear and misapprehension he was in flueneed to issue the bill of sale for his personal property. He believed that the people of Dendora Valley wished to force him out and this persecution led him to follow the course he did. He claims that he remained in possession of his property until March, 1917, when Mrs. Nponan replevined his horses and wagon. In November she replevined other property, he charges.
 Bruner asks that the defendant be ordered by the court to re-deliver the plaintiffs horses, light and heavy wag ons and transfer the bill of sale and all property and costs of action.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA ID DARKEN HAIR.
She Made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color,
 gloss, thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair Just few applications will prove revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the eady-to-use tonic, cost ing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoid ing lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youth full appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and. after another appli- cation or two, your hair becomes beau tifully dark, glossy. soft and luxuriant.
