paris.-There reached Paris recent
" fine-looking old French gentleman,
sad-eyed. Acknowledged. For four
wears he had been held prisoner by
the Germans in the city of Cambral.
He had seen the Hun kaiser three
times passing through the streets OF
his city which previously had been
swept by the French women. Night
after night he had been forced to go
and sit in the railroad stations of the
civ while the British bombed them.
He had seen his friends, people once
wealthy and of high birth, sent out to
dig trenches, to bury the dead and to
cultivate and weed the fields. For two
wears he had only soup and cocoa for
his dinner and a semi-monthly allow
ance of three-quarters of a pound OF
meat and black bread.
Henri Bergfer reached Paris just as
the news came from the front that
British aud American troops had freed
his home. AS soon as he is strong
enough to travel again he will return
there to find, if possible, the priceless
records Of the city which he hid In
1914 when the Huns swept across Bel
GUM and invaded northern France.
AS Judge of tribunal or court
of Cambrai, Bergier refused to leave
his post when the German hordes
poured through his country In August.

HELD A PRISONER
FOR FOUR YEARS

1914. BY a trick of chance he had
Just sent his wife and three daughters
to Boulogne-sur-Mer on the coast OF
France, for a holiday and was plan
ming to join them early in September.
The meeting was deferred just four
years. He was captured, but was
spared the bitterness of seeing his
family subjected to the humiliations
which came to the other women OF
Cambrai. His wife and daughters at
once volunteered for hospital service
and worked so heroically for three
years that they were decorated by the
French government with the medal
"des epidemies ct du devouement."
The story which Bergier brought
hack was one of want and suffering.
The Germans held him as hostage so
he was not maltreated. Whenever the
city was bombed, however, he was
sent with three other judges, also held
as hostages, to sit In the railway sta
tons so that they would be killed IL
the traffic centers were destroyed.
The people of the city who did not
hold official positions were treated
more summarily. The women were
all made to do mental work of some
kind, such as sweeping the streets
of the city or cultivating and weed
ing the fields. The young boys and
men were sent out to dig trenches and
to bury the dead.
Turned Out of Homes.
Family after family was turned out
of homes to make place for the wives
of the German officers who came to
STAY in Cambria with their husbands
and for German actresses and sing
ers who were brought from Germany
to stage performances Of grand opera
and to make merry in the casinos.
The prisons were kept filled with
offenders"
Early In September Bergier was told
that an exchange had been effected
and he was to return to France. He
would be permitted to take with him
what belongings he could carry. He
found an old baby carriage with two
wheels off and patched 1t up with
wheels from q dismantled gun. His
clothing, though threadbare, still held
together, but he had no shoes at all,
He took the leather portfolio which
his Youngest daughter had used to
carry to school and made sort of
footgear out of It, using for soles the
betting from machine in an aban-
doned factory.
Part of his journey to Belgium he
made on foot, pushing his belongings
along in the old baby carriage. Part
he made by train.
From Belgium NJ. Bergier went to
Switzerland, finally arriving in Paris
where he rejoined his family,

The average American

Millions are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly "iu," a
fever or a cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
waiting for their strength to come back.
If these people could only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
tentiOn to the stOmach-that is, remoy-
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making 1t
act naturally, so that the body Will
receive the full strength of the food
eaten-a great deal of suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease it
self, and the strong medicines that
have been taken, upset the stomach,
leave 1t hot and feverish. the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is a poor
foundation to build new strength on.
