On our frames and We'll have
a bilious fever and lot of other

cleaver if we don't buy YARDS

smiles and whistles, as he labors
all alone: as he boils a lot of
thistles. for the season is his
own; he is brewing tea of
tansy and of liverwort and
lceks, favored with a dash of
pansy, and he chortles when he
speaks. In the cure of ailments
chronic our learned pharmacist
de1ShtS; he is mixing up tonic
for our livers and our lights.
For our blood is slow and slug
gish, and we're breaking out
with rash. and for potions dire
and druggish we must blow our
surplus cash. And we need a
hair restorer and an eye-wash
ior our glims; dope to stop the
elm tree borer, which is threat
ening our limbs. SO we see the

The piano which tinkles out the mel

by the soldiers of the 9th Division at
the Century Theatre now, has a UNIQUE
record of war service. If it had the
hnor due it, it would be banded from
stem to stern with wound stripes. 1t is
big upright instrument, captured by
Organs men when they moved into
the fighting lines of Flanders last July.
and 1t has travelled with the division
over more than a thousand miles of
lighting area and three thousand miles
across the sea-
In the great drive of March 21. when
hordes of Germans swept back the AL
lies and took KENNEL, they brought
with them this instrument of 1O4
strings and placed it in a ferro-con-
crete dugout near the little Belgian
town of Vatican in the Dickebusch
sector, in the lowlands, near the Dicke
busch Lake.
On July the 9th Division took
over the line comprising the Dicke-
busch and Steenvorde sectors, and
found the piano in its dark dugout. 1t
