HUMOROUS TALE
TRENCH PIANOS
GERMAN PAMPHLET INTEREST.
ING TO SAMMIES

Atlanta, Ga. March ia year ago
when the Send Division was in train
ing at Camp Gordon here an enter
prising piano company wrote to di-
vision headquarters that it had built
piano Of such strength and light
ness that it could be carried to the
first line trenches to help while away
the hours on inactive sectors Off
GERS at the camp made facetious re-
marks about the instrument. one maj
or whimsically suggesting organiza-
ton of the "307th Trench Piano Bat
talon"
A local newspaper published hui
morous account of the incident, pic
turing each husky private of the SIND
going over the top with trench
piano" strapped to his back. Powder
puffs, rouge and lip sticks might be
added to the soldiers knapsack to
make trench life more bearable. the
writer suggested. 1t caused many a
laugh at the camp.
The SIND soon went to France and
took part in some of the hardest figt-
ing OF the war. On August 2, 1918.
German aviators dropped into their
trenches in the Toul sector copies of
the inentical story with this solemn
comment attached:
What are you fighting for Sam

ing your life, the folk back home in
stead of backing you up with their
last dollar and last drop of blood, are
spending their time inveniing trench
pianos and lip sticks instead Of in
venting submarines I'd airDlaaos."
Major Quimby Melton Of the Sind
in letter to friend here says the
men of the S2nd fairly fought for the
German leaflets and had the hardest
laugh of their overseas career There
was nothing to show how copy of
the local papers story was transmit
ted into Germany.

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-
tism are usually the result of failure of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use Of some sterling remedy which
will prevent a return of the disease.
Get some GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules Immediately. They have
brought back the joys of life to count
less thousands of sufferers from rheu-
matism, lame back, lumbago, sciatica,
gall stones, gravel and other affections
of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder
and allied organs.
They will attack the poisons at once,
clear out the kidneys and urinary tract
and the soothing healing oils. and herbs
will restore the inhamed tissues and
organs to normal health
All others are limitations. Ask for
GOLD MEDAL and be sure the name
GOLD MEDAL. is on the box. Three
sizes, ut all good druggists.
