HEAD HUNTER IN
AMERICAN ARMY
Moro Entertains Hospital Pa
tents With Wild Songs and
Curious Chants.
HAS FIVE BAYONET WOUNDS
Astonishes Doctors by Rapid Recovery
From Injuries Received While
Fighting in Ranks OF Yankees
HAS Remarkable Record.

Paris.-The most remarkable pa
tient in Base Hospital No. 80 is a
Moro Head-Hunter, who turned up In
France six months ago with a COM
pany of American soldiers who had
Just come from the Philippine Islands.
His name Is recorded as Philipo Mo
reno, and his home as the Philippine
Islands. No one suspected him of hav-
ing a remarkable record until his story
came out one day after n chance meet
ing with the colonel in charge of the
base hospital to which he was taken
from the front. And this is how 1t
happened:
A Red Cross searcher hearing OF a
man suffering from five bayonet
wounds who had just been brought
into Base Hospital No. 30, hurried to
his bedside with fruit and an offer
to send home any messages he might
wish delivered. The man, unusually
big and dark, accepted the fruit CRATE
fully, but assured her that he would
be we'll enough himself to write soon
to his sister, his only living relative.
Sings Weird Songs.
And he kept his word in spite of
the five bayonet wounds which healed
so rapidly that all the doctors of the
hospital marveled at the remarkable
constitution of the dark-skinned man.
The patient was soon convalescent,
and the first place he visited was the
Red Cross recreation hut. Some n
was playing the piano, as usual, and
during the afternoon one of the men,
bers of the sanitary corps sang n of
Burley's negro songs. deep River
Philipo offered to sing the song in the
original and astounded his audience
with a weird version full of minor
notes and harmonies that made shiv-
ers run up and down susceptible
backs.
And thereafter the Filipino insisted
on entertaining gatherings in the rec
reation hut each afternoon with wild
songs and curious chants and recita-
lions. Some of these were very spicy
tales indeed of the underworld and its
denizens, and finally the Moro waxed
confidential and began telling tales
Of the wilds of the Philippine Islands
and the days when he had hunted
heads.

The colonel of the hospital, attract

dropped In one afternoon to listen.

he announced. Hes too tall. l served

Just then the Filipino came up and

Forget What You Have Done.

Uncle Sam is no more able to
pay his present debts with mon
ey you lent in previous loans than
ne was able to meet a prevailing
situation on the battlefront in
France with men who had al
ready given their lives in previ-
Gus drives.
Forget what you have done.
When the American soldierwas
called upon for another attack
he didn't think of what he had
done, but Of what he had to do.
The American citizenis called up
on now to prove himself worthy
of what the boys did in France.
Even when victory was remote
the men on the battlefields went
on with enthusiasm. The people
at home were equally enthusiasts
tic incontributing funds although
they did not know how many
more times they would be called
upon. Victory was their objec-
tive. They were as determined
to reach it as were the American
soldiers.
How much more enthusiastic
should the nation be over this
present drive-the Victory Lib
erty Loan drive. The objective
has been reached sooner than
expected. This is the last Lib

MANY BOONE PEOPLE IN POOR

IHE CAUSE.
There are scores of people who
drag out miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Perhaps
the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of filtering the blood
and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys
assist them in their work give
them the held they need. You
can use no more highly recco-
mended remedy than Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
Below is a grateful testimony
from a sufferer in this locality:
N. G. Deal, wood worker, Hick-
ory, N. G., says: | suffered lot
from kidney trouble. My back
was lame and sore and had to
stop work. At night I was rest
less and sometimes had to walk
the floor. Doan's Kidney Pills
gave me prompt relief, removing
the pain in my back and making
me feel better in every way"

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never
have a movement without it is
produced by a cathartic. Most
of them have brought that condi-
ton on themselves by the use of
mineral waters and strong cath
artics that take too much water
out of the system and aggrevate
the disease they are meant to re-
lieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain 9 Tablets affords a
gentle movement of the bowels
that you hardly realize has been
produced by a medicine, and their
use is not so likely to be followed
