 From the first Cox took a great dis like to the war and had queer ideas concerning the army and the draft. His number was called for examina- tion by the draft board and he did not appear, nor could he be found. Sew eral days later he was seen in the town and an officer trailed him to a rudely constructed shelter on Victory mountain overlooking a swamp near the city, and he was arrested. He passed the physical examination and was sent with several other rockies to Camp Devens early in June, 1918, and was accepted and placed in the infantry. About two weeks after he arrived there he was reported as miss ing at roll call and. as time drew on and nothing was heard of his where abOuts, he was listed as a deserter and the government offered a reward of $1OO for him dead or alive.
 While driving along on a highway that leads to about the foot of Victory mountain, Charles H. Howe of St. Johnsbury noticed a man, wrecked physically, covered with dirt and look ing half-starved; half-walking and half-crawling along through the woods. He investigated, discovered the iden- tity of the man and took him to town, where he was placed in the county jail and later taken to hospital

Ailments of many kinds spring from such conditions. Biliousness. rheumatism. lun
 bago, sciatica, general weakness, loss of power and energy, headache. insomnia, nervousness, mental depression-even more serious ailments such catarrh and cancer of the stomach, intestinal ulcers, cirrhosis of the liver, heart trouble-all of these can often be traced directly to acid-stomach.
 Keep a sharp lookout for the first symp- toms of acid-stomach-fndigest heart burn. belching. food repeating, that awful painful bloat after eating, and sour, gassy stomach.

DIVISION LOST
1t Ia Not Mentioned in the Schedule
Of Departures from Europe,
and the Boys Have
story Over There.

Dispatches to The Gate City yes
tterday carried the order in which the
divisions Of the American army
abroad would be brought here, and
the official statement listed what
seemed to be all the divisions in
Europe.
But the s8th division, In which

and q few Keokuk men, and in which
are scattered other Keokuk soldiers,
like Frederic c. Smith, of the 313th
ammunition train, is mot mentioned
at all.
This makes very appropos a story
written by Keokul soldier to his
mother as current in his regiment in
France, which goes thus:
It was the summer of 1928, and
General Pershing was at dancing
party In Baltimore Another guest,
a congressman from Iowa, asked the
general If 1t was possible for him
to state when the S8th division A.
E. F. would be brought home. Gen.
eral Pershing replied, scratching

Atmosphere is Laden With
Germs Of The Disease.

Every person afflicted with Catazrh
releases MILLIONS of the tiny disease
germs with every cough or .sneeze, SO
that whenever on the street cars or
street or other public place you see a
person afflicted with this disease
hawking and coughing and sneezing,
everyone in their vicinity is exposed
to the disease.
You along with everyone else will
find yourself exposed to the germs of
Catarrh several times every day. The
germs multiply by the millions, and
the air you breathe is thick with these
tiny little disease demons that cause
SO much distress and suffering.
Catarrh is one OF the most stubborn
diseases, and is always worse IN cold,
damp and disagreeable weather. 1t
should not, however, be considered In
durable, though there are thousands
afflicted with 1t who are doubtless
ready to believe that cure is impossi-
Bile, because of their experience.
But like all other Affections, the
main trouble is that Catarrh il en-
tirely misunderstood, and therefore
treated in the wrong way. Because
these little germ demons attack the
oehcate membranes Of the nose and
throat, choking up the air passages
ana irritating the tender lining of the
nostrls and bronchial tubes, the aver
sunerer makes the mistake of
