WHY GUYON FIGHTS
This French Poilu Is Regular
Fire-Eater.
Bride Taken Prisoner and Horribly
Abused by Huns. Escapes to
Tell Story.
Paris. —Guyon's a regular fire eater.
He has been cited six times. He wears
a croix de guerre and a medaille d'bon
neur. He captured a German mitrail
leuse single-handed. He went out alone
tn No Man’s Land to bring back a
wounded comrade. He’s been wounded
himself four times.
When he is back of the lines, off
duty, he helps a Y. M. C. A. secretary
hand out writing paper to his com
rades in a foyer du soldat. But it
isn't active enough for him. Since
August, 1914, he doesn’t seem to need
to rest. When he Isn't in the trenches
he works off his surplus energy cuss
ing out the way the war is run be
cause he isn’t in active service every
minute.
There are a lot of pollus like Guyon.
Got them ton kilometers back of the
front and they growl and roar all day.
Put them in the trenches and you sim
ply can’t hold them In.
Probably a story lies back of most
of them just as one explains Guyon.
When the war broke out Guyon had
just married. He and his wife were
living In a little town up near the Bel
gian border. Os course he was called
and left for the front. For more than
a year he did not hear from his wife—
not a word. At last he received a let
ter from her. mailed in Paris.
She had been taken prisoner at the
time of the Invasion and deported in
to Germany. After a year of horrible
suffering and abuse, she escaped into
Holland and got back to France by
way of London. At last she reached
Paris and went to work in a munitions
factory, where she Is still working.
Guyon told his story to the Ameri-’
can Y. M. C. A. secretary with typical
French calmness. His fury against the
Boches he puts into action in the
front line.

GAVE BLOOD FOR BROTHER
Transfusion in a Hospital in Chicago |
Saves Man From Keokuk,
lowa.
Fort Madison, la. —N. J. Bever, man
ager of the Fort Madison Produce and
Storage company, is home from the
Augustana hospital in Chicago, where
he gave up some of his blood in a
transfusion operation in order that
his brother, M. C. Bever of Keokuk,
might live.
The operation was successful and it
has been announced that the Keokuk
man will live, although it may be nec
essary to furnish him with a little ad
ditional blood to aid his own. Other
members of the family have agreed to
furnish this if It is needed. Mr. Bever
has been suffering for years with a
bad case of anaemia.
The local man declares he feels no
worse for his experience aside from a
soreness in his left arm, from which
member the transfusion was made.

“You can’t get insurance on ycur house after it catches fire, you
can’t get an accident policy after yon have been run over by an autonio
bile or been smashed up in a train wreck; you cant geet lite insurance
after you have become physically impaired.
What does all of that mean?
Simply, that insurance is one of the things you must buy in advance
of the time when you will need it.
Remember, not when it is convenient for you to take it; you mus,
get it when you don’t need It if yon want it when you do need it.
