the Capitol in Washington.

NE after another the allied nations
~ have buried with imposing cere-
monials the remains of an "Un
known Hero" to symbolic the gratitude
and the honor which belong to those who
gave their lives to their country in the late
great war.
II was not the purpose to select one
known individual and bestow upon him the
honor of this national tribute. To make
the symbolism complete every possible
care was taken to select the remains of a
fallen warrior whose name and identity
could never be discovered. and so there
lies in historic old Westminster Abbey In
London the body of British soldier.
He may be the son of any one OF the
thousands of bereaved British mothers
whose soldier boys fell on the battlefield
and we're buried in unknown graves. And
in France and i'll Italy an Unknown Hero"
has been buried with the highest national
honors in a place with monument which
will endure for centuries.
In the great national cemetery at Airing
ton, near Washington. Americas own "Un-
known Hero" has recently been laid to
rest with most impressive ceremonials and
tributes.
But scarcely had the ceremonials of in.
terment been finished in London and in
Paris before reports were spread that the
7eil of mystery surrounding the identity of
the unknown Hero" had been penetrated
by spiritualistc mediums. The mediums
have summoned the s,irits from the world
beyond the grave to reveal, through their
ouiia boards and mystic tables, the name
and circumstances of the oeath of the I'm
known Hero"
Especially in France the interest in the
work of the spiritualists In this direction
has; been widespread and intense. 1t is
stated that the mediums have succeeded in
getting In touch with the spirit of the
French unknown poilu" Thus they claim
TO have revealed his name and the address
of his home town and family, and pursuing
the inquiry have been able to reveal the
manner in which he met his death.
Friends of the deceased are said to have
at first been skeptical, but upon searching
The records have been able to confirm all
the details as revealed by the ouija boards
and mystic tables. II is reported that the
same name and circumstances OF death of
the unknown symbolica al hero have been OBJ

same thing, then Italy and then the United
States
AS to who the Unknown Hero" was,
when and where he died and what was the
manner of his death there is bound to be
endless speculation for a long time to
come. But the mystery which originally
surrounded the hero's end and sent him
to nameless grave has been so carefully
protected and deepened by the army au-
thorities that it seems doubtful If it can
ever be cleared up.
The precautions taken to insure the
identity of Americas Unknown Hero" re-
naming forever hidden were even more
elaborate and better calculated to baffle
' the efforts of inquisitive investigators
than those taken by England, France or
Italy.
All that is known, even by Major-Gen-
eral Allen and the other officers who di.
rected the selection of the Unknown
Hero" Is that he was one of about 1900
American soldiers who gave their lives for
their country in such n manner that il has
been impossible, up to the present time,
to fix their identity.
Sixteen hundred is a very small number
to remain unidentified out of q total of
nearly $4,000 men who died overseas. Its
smalness is due to the great care taken
by the Government to provide all Amer
ica's fighting men with numerous means
of identification.
Additional identifcations are still being
made, and by the time the Graves Regis.
tration Corps work is completed there may
perhaps be only hundred or so whose
identity is still unknown. In fact, when
the plan to bury an unidentified soldier
at Arlington was preached some officers
OF the corps opposed it on the ground that
they expected eventually to identity every
one of the dead, and would therefore be
unable to supply the body of an Unknown
Hero" to receive the grateful nations
homage.
According to the latest official figures Z
the number of Americans who died over
seas was 1852. or this number about 10
per cent, it is estimated, will be allowed
to remain in graves on foreign soil and the
rest will be brought back to the United,
States to be re-buried.
The nameless man who lies at Arlington
in a flag-covered coffin inscribed, AN I'm.
known America soldier who gave his life
in the Great War;" is a symbol of all the
thousands of soldiers and sailors who died
as he did. And the tribute the nation has
paid and will continue to pay him is also
tribute to the others who made the same
great sacrifice.
AS General Pershing has said, 1T Is
fitting tribute for the nation to pay, not
only TO its unknown dead. but to all who
gave their lives or risked their lives In

In selecting this >country's Unknown
Hero" the American army authorities fol.

France.
The French selected from their principal
battefields the bodies of nine unidentified
dead They were taken to the citadel of
Verdun, and there non-commissfoned off,

the one that was later buried under the
Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The remaining
eight we're buried beneath the citadel of

stripped of all possible clues to the iden.
tity of the corpses they contained. The
marks indicating the battlefield on which
the soldiers bodies had been found and
the cemeteries in which they had been
buried were obliterated or removed
When this had been done and each OF
the four collins looked exactly like the
other three they were removed to the city
OF Chalons-surM arne and placed in a room
In the town hall. Not even the special
Graves Registration Corps who prepared
the collins for removal were able to say
whether the bodies they contained were
those OF officers or privates, or whether
their occupants had fallen in the Argonne,
at St Mihiel or Chateau Thierry or on, the
Somnfe.
The honor OF selecting from these four
cotfins the one to he carried across the
Atlantic on an American warship and

Sergeant Younger is from Chicago. He
participated in all the major engagements
in which the United States troops took
part in France and was twice wounded.
He wears decorations for his garnfA
given him by both the American aIis 80
French governments.
From Coblenz, where he is attached to
Headquarters Company, Second Battalion,
Fiftieth Infantry, Sergeant Younger was
brought to Chalons-sur.Marne to make the
selection OF Americas Unknown Hero
The ceremony attending the final selection
was brief but impressive in its simplicity
and in the assurance it gave that nobody
had any idea of the identity of the soldier
chosen.
When Sergeant Younger, obeying orders,
appeared at the town hall in Chalons he
was met by Major-General Henry T. Allen
who told him in soldier-like phrases what
was expected Of him and handed him a
bouquet of roses.

Abingdon Citizen Had Been Going Down Hill For a Year When He Got TanIae.

At the time 1 got Taniac seemed to be right on. the verge of physical breakdown, but have taken five botteG now and feel as strong and healthy As l ever did in my life" said Harold East wood of Abingdon, Conn.,, while in Bridgeport few days ago.
 T had been falling pretty sharply for year or more. My stomarh went wrong and then l lost my appetite and finally got 10 where l could hardly face a meal l just didn't want to eat bite and at times I turned so sick I felt like l was going 10 collapse. Seer will sS2wG is all that kept me going. I felt weak and all in couldn't half sleep and was d. most wreck.
 My brother was taking Tanlac and with such good results that l started in on t. too, and it just suited my case ex- actly. My appetite picked right up and my strength came back and now I'm in left me entirely and I sleep sound and, to put it in a few words, l feel fine. TanlRc has certainly done great work in my case and 1 am glad to pass the good news along to others"
 The food people eat does them A6so- lutely no good unless they digest it properly. When you suffer from indigee- tiop and other forms of stomach trouble the food does you harm instead of good. because food which is not digested stays in the stomach and ferments, causing pains. swelling, gas on stomach, short ness of breath. had taste in the mouth, dizzineSs anu many otneT ulSdsleeAc3e symptoms. If this condition is permitted to run on for an indefinite period, the entire system becomes saturated with poisons and various complications are apt to result
 Mir. Eastwood's trouble was relieved by Tanlac. simply because it toned up his vital organs and enabled him to digest his food properly. In fact there is no portion of the body that is not benefited by the helpful action of Tanlae. which begins it's work by stimulating the diges- tive and assimilative organs. thereby en- riching the blood and invigDrating the whole system Next, it enables the weak. worn-out stomach to thoroughly digest its food. uermitting the nourishing clements to be -eohFeFted-iAto@hl bona and muscle.
