 In keeping with my promise to Hank Gowdy he will not be called a hero. Moreover it is his wish that he be not regarded as a hero. Hank is absolutely sincere about that. and any one of the 100000 soldiers who went to France can understand and sympathize with what may seem like an obstinate point of view. Any one of the other million, so unfor ~tunate as not to be ordered across, will also understand. A soldier likes to be called a soldier.
 The fact that one fighting man had the lucky opportunity of being able to dis tinguish himself individually does not make him any more of a solder than the millions who plugged along unnoticed and shared the same hardships. The so- called "hero" does not wish to be con sidered any more of a fighting mali than the others It is a feeling of camraderie and genuine sportsmanship that the per son outside the army often fails to grasp. The "heroes'-that word to which Hank Gowdy objects-know very well that any one of the other millions would have acquitted himself just the same had the chance fallen to his lot.
 Incidentally, soldiers of the type of Gowdy have deep compassion for the mill ion good doughboys who had to remain in American camps. doing the hard work of training, only to be denied the satis- faction of trying themselves out against the enemy Tn many ways work in the training camp is harder than at the front, much harder because it lacks the ex citement
 An incident of tour of the trenches occupied by the Forty-second division, Hanks division, away back in the spring of 1918, illustrates this
 An inspection party in which were two or three New York newspaper men, had entered the trenches near Baccarat. After yading through the mud and slipping around on duckboards for an hour they eame to little niche in the muddy wall. Tn this hollewed out mud hole sat soughboy reading a bedraggled sporting xheet from one of the American papers. 1t contained an action photograph and story about Ty Cobb. The young fellow appeared to be intensely interested.
 s'How are you, young fellow?" l think if was MarAn Green who questioned him. i"Great," he said. Kicking the mud from his feet the doughboy arose and stood in the narrow trench. They busted couple of big ones here about an hour ago. but it's pretty quiet now"

according to Gowdy. because it makes a soldier do things for his own good. It is very difficult to make him take thing seriously until he understands the reason for it. The American soldier al- ways wants to know why-that is what makes hm a great soldier-but it is pretty hard to make him believe in the neces- sity of certain things until he actually ex- periences that need.
 "One week in the line,' Gowdy declares, 'is of more practical worth to a soldier than six months in camp. He knows the reason for certain things before the end of the first day.

There are millions of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
Of an acid-stomach--indig sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heartburn ;
Bickenlng food-repeating; painful
bloat and that miserable, pulled up,
umpy feeling after eating. Many of
these people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine /;
others have gone to doctors and stom-
hch specialists and some to hospitals,
out In spite of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or a
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. If allowed to run on, they
Are very likely to cause a lot Of seri-
pus trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
govt, lumbago, sciatica, splitting head
ache, dizzy spells, nervousness, sleep
lessness, mental depression, melan-
cholia, feeling of listlessness and
l-goneness-these are just few of
the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS matter of fact,
acid-stomach Is often the direct cause
of those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh of the stomach, In
testinal ulcer, and cancer Of the stom-

from these serious troubles are moth
