Then was with the British Fifth

couldn't. They were ontranged and

as by those men, and if they didn't
fight then there never was any fight
ing anywhere upon the face OF the
earth, Maj. Cushman A. Rice. o. S. A..

by tremendously superior German
force, they lost almost all of their ar

stuck at the Somme line until almost

they gained the Huns paid the highest

To Keep Your Shoes Dry.

Here is an item which the doctor
tells US to add to our long list OF
things to do to keep the "ffu" away:
By standing just outside your door
in a dry place for moment before
wading out in, the snow In severe
weather you will find that the snow
does not cling to the shoes and they
will remain perfectly dry. The rea-
son for this is that the soles Of your
shoes are cooled so that they do not
melt the snow through which you
walk. If you rush out Of a warm
house in warm shoes they melt the
snow which sticks to them, and the
water soon soaks through to the feet.

FLED IN DISGUISE
Noted Men Who Escaped CaptiW-
ty by SubterfuQe.
In Hours of Grave Danger Soidiers OF
Proved Bravery Have Not hesi-
tated to Save Lives by l0-
nominious Flight.

Gen, Hans von Beseler of the Ger
man army is said to have escaped out
of Poland in disguise as q stowaway
on board a vistula river steamboat.
In the fall Of 1914 Won Beseier was
glorified as the conquerer of the city
of Antwerp. the chief stronghold OF
Belgium and the chief port of contl-
mental Europe. Germany's conquer
ing heroes of 1914 have been van
quished and Won Beseler is but one
of a great company OF notable fusi-
tives who have saved their lives by
fleeing in disguise. Judge Jeffries OF
English history, whose name is aSso-
ciated with the "bloody assizes." tried
to hide himself and escape the ven
geance his savage cruelty merited by
donning the garb Of coal miner
and hiding in a tavern at Woking. but
he was recognized, captured, imprls'
oned ia the Tower of London, where
he soon died. Prince Charles Edward
Stuart, pretender to the throne OF
Great Britain, escaped from Scotland
in petticoats, disguised as Betty
Burke, maid to Flora Macdonald.
Louis Philippe, the 'citizen king OF
France, fed to the coast Of Normandy
where he posed as Mr.. Smith" Brit
ish subject. in order to secure passage
to England on a steamboat. Napoleon
III, while pretender to the throne
of France. was imprisoned In the
fortress of Ham. After several
months Of confinement repairs were
begun on the fortress. Napoleon
bribed one of the carpenters to SNUG
gle in q workman's garb for his dis
guise. He dressed himself in the
coarse oyeralls and blouse, shouldered
q short plank. which he carried on
edge 50 as to conceal his face. and
walking past his guard he escaped to
Belgium and thence to England.
Porfrio Diaz was twice compelled to
fee from Mexico and seek safety in
the United States. He made one trip
from New Orleans to Vera Cruz dis
guised as stoker on beard a steam
ship and was soon leading new band
of revolutionists. Empress Eugene,
disguised as a servant woman. was
taken out of Paris by Doctor Evans,
an American dentist. in whose house
she had been hidden. Thus she es-
capped the blind fury Of the French
mob and gained safe asylum in Eng
land. Jefferson Davis. fallen presf'
dent of the Southern Corfederaey. is
said by his enemies to have tried to
escape out of the country and evade
his pursuefs disguised fn woman's
garbs but he was captured and sin-
prisoned until the passions Of some
of the, northern fre-eaters had cooled.

by the help of Tanlac," con-
tinued Mrs. Butts, Il have gotten
rid of a case of nervous Indigestion
that has made me miserable for
-, two years. l could not eat anything
without suffering intense pain aft
erwards. The gas on my stomach
would rise up into my chest and
press on my heart almost cutting
off my breath. My nerves were 30
upset that the least unusual noise
would almost distract me. l would
often roll and toss in my misery
until after midnight and what little
sleep | did get seemed 10 do me no
good. / was never free from head
aches and would often get so dizzy
that | would have to hold on %
something to keep from falling.
"One day l happened to see a
testimonial for TanIac describing
a case like mine. So l bought
bottle and before I had finished it
my headache was gone and my ap-
petite had returned. When my first
bottle was gone + got another and
kept on improving until now I can
eat just anything and my stomach
never troubles me any more. l am
not the least bit nervous and /
never have a headache nor a dizzy
spell. I have not only been re
lieved of my suffering, but. I have
gained twenty pounds in weight be
sides. and 1 have not enjoyed such
good health in years. II certainly
is wonderful how the right medi-
cine will get a person to feeling
right again. TanIac was the right
thing for me and l don't believe
anyone can take it without being
benefited"
