discovered until after the truck reached
the hospital.
While the men Of ID Battery were uu-
loading the damaged wagon it was no
ticed that Private John n. Schall was
seated on his horse in a peculiar man
ner. One of the men spoke to him and
receiving no answer they lifted him
from the saddle finding him unconscious
from serious leg wounds. He was i'm

G Battery had also had three casual
ties Mt this front. At the very first
position, outside Of st. GILES. Sergeant
arm by a shell fragment. while two days
later Sergeants Louis Rose aud John
Fisher were hit just as they were get
ting their pieces ready for action.
At all times on this front the men
were under great nervous strain and
the officers are unanimous in praising
their GOODNESS and courage. especially
the men of the wire details, who kept up
communication in spite of iuuumerable
difficulties. Just word should be
told here of the work of the medical
department of the regiment. This corps
consisted of thirty one men and was
under the command of Major Norman
ID. Smith. Of Rutcdgc. Pa. These men
accompanied the regiment through its
entire career and members were always
present at all gun positions 20 give
first aid ard render medical assistance
whenever needed.
Lose Nineteen Killed
The men Of the corps were divided
among the three battalions the first
under Captain Washington Merscher.
the second under Captain Harold 5.
Brommall and the third under Captain
Staley {. Shannon. In all they treated
approximately $500 cases of wounded,
gas and minor casualties. Most of the
cases, however. we're not men of the
1OSth Field Artillery, for the total
casualties for the regiment while in
action were nineteen killed, seventy
four wounded,
"rhc sanitary conditions at the front
wcrc ms good as could be expected,
said Major Smith. 1.-The flies, of
course. were very troublesome. but that
must be expected in land just lately
an opcn battlefield, where dead bodies
and horses must necessarily lay for
days without burial. The health of the
regiment as a whole was excellent For
while the change of water affected
the mon. but their strong constitutions
soon ovcrcamc this difficulty. Every
effort was made to keep all places as
clean and sanitary as possible, but it
goes without saying that conditions
were by no means ideal"
1t was just outside Of Courvile that
this corps had its first casualty. A gas
shell burst near detachment of the
men and Private Bernard G. Halliday
received some severe mustard burns.

lhcy Kept right on working. rcellng
out the wire and throwing it to the
side of tho road. jerry saw VIC were
escaping tho shells so he opened on us
with machine guns from the hillside.
How those bullets did whistle and little
thumpS all round told us how close they
wcrc hitting. We then came t" cut
in the roud which protected us n little
and thought VIC were safer. But not for
long. for soon two bOchc arplancs
Swoopcd down on us with their machine
guns tick ticking. We got our guns into
action and drove them of. then the truck
went into ditch and we were forced
to take cover. After the plane left the
boys carried the wire on as | worked
to get the truck back on the road. Then
the boys came back. SO did the planes.
and although we were out of the ditch
We had no moro ammunition and sour
rcd to dugouts along the road for
safety. Then began wild ride back
Jerry placed shells all around us. but
luck was with us and we got back with =
out scratch. The funny part is, also,
that all during the affair. I was too OK

For this action both Kaufman and
Cozard received Il division citation which
was read to all organizations in the reg

The first battalion. under command Of
Major William Marsh. with Captain
Frederick Widman. Of Il Battery, and
Captain Lewis Miller. of y Battery,
had located positions near Courvillc.
Battery a. when first brought up, had
taken a position to the left of Crugney,
but the place was untenable and two
days later the battery was moved. Major
Marsh. who arrived at the front ahead
of his battalion with the battery com
manderS. tells of the difficulties en-
countered in successfully locating them.
at was night he said, "whon first
went up in the Coonels car and. as the
maps had ouly been given TO me at the
last moment, | had had no time to study
! them. Never will forget my feelings.
although it is impossible to exactly ex-
press my personal feelings as | heard
tho first shell whistle by and land close
to our car by Abbey. After much diff

headquarters and proceeded to await
the arrival of the battery. Soon jerry
began to bomb the town; in fact, he
came over eleven times that night with
load of coal One bomb shattered the
rear Of our building and although we
were Cooped in the cellar the bricks
came falling around. A little later
noticed light in window thinking it
was some of our soldiers ! called to them
to put it out. After a while. during a

after they had made themselves at home

A copious flow of saliva

DR.. Pickerill states empha t.
ically that the use of strong

the salivary glands and check
the flow of saliva, thus defeat

TN order to learn why savage races
l. have practically no tooth trouble,
while 90% of civilized people have de-
cayed teeth, DR.. H. P. Pickerill, one of
the worlds greatest authorities on den
tai science, has devoted many years to
study Of this battling problem.
Those of his conclusions which relate
to correct dentifrice are as follows:
Savage races cat food which has dis.
tinctive flavor, and which requires great
deal of mastication. They eat q lot of mildly
acid, raw fruit. s.."
Flavor, mastication and the stimulus of
raw fruit acid excite the salivary glands and
increase the secretion, flow and alkalinity of

TOR four years, the House Of
l. Mennen has been perfecting a
dentifrice based upon the scientific
principles proved by DR.. Pickerill.
Mennen Cream Dentifrice is posi-
lively non-alkaline. 1t does not check
the flow of saliva.
It contains mild fruit acid which accom-.
plishes the same results as the fruit eaten by
savages, namely: it increases the secretion,
flow and alkalinity of saliva, thus aiding
Nature to protect your teeth from the acids
of food decay.
1t cleans and polishes the teeth wonder
