American troops nnmberlng
odootXi are snlllng In the next
, thrm , weeks. Their strength In
rrmee will surely reach two mll-
i B on before winter. Countless
more training.
“Schmidt,” said the hnron, to a red-
(, f e1 secretary In uniform. “Take this
jown” Then he dletnted:
The alarm In Frnnee Increases
iallv as the promised hordes from
America fall to nppenr. Half the
Yankees opposed to us have al
ready been wiped off the map,
(heir casualties far exceeding the
Bumher of fresh arrivals.
Deceiving Their People.
Baron Von Wurst took the next slip,
jt was from n most excellent spy In
frem-p. The mnster press-agent
yowled ns he rend:
Meat Is niueh more plentiful
hero. The populace are wildly
elated over recent nllled victories.
The troops all seem supremely
ronfld.-nt of ultimate success.
“Ready, Schmidt?” The hnron
'lackered his brows, and continued to
wow! for a moment. Then, with In
tention, came a grim smile. He dic
tated:
Once more history shows the
pleasure-loving Pnrlslnns to bo
subsisting largely on rats and of
fal. The shining sword of Ger-
ninny has brought them almost to
their knees through starvation.
Mutinies In the French nrmy nre
now n dnllv recurrence, for those
soldiers know, In spite of the lies
thrust upon thorn, that every
where along the line German
might Is triumphant.
The hnron. who had lunched with
a friend off n substitute snusnge, grim
aced as he rend another message from
America:
The 101*? harvest In the United
States will exceed nnythlng ever
known. Ships nre being launched
with such nmazlng rnpldity that
there will soon he quite enough to
carry grain across the Atlantic.
The baron’s wry face flushed with
anger. Was not he one of the many
vhn had hen deceived by Von Tlr-
pltz? He puffed out his cheeks.
Fortunate It Is Not True.
A mysterious grnln dlsense (he
dictated) 1ms spread with lightning
rapidity throughout the wheat-
growing nrens of America, and In
spite of nssurnnees to the con
trary, we know thnt the Yankees
‘ will not have enough grain for
their own wants. Amerlenn pris
ons are full of men and women
who have dared to brenk the reg
ulations which allow each person
four ounces of bread a day. The
ship builders, who became too
"'ank to work on this allowance,
have been given one ounce extra.
The new ships launched, lmstlly
built for submarine fodder, nre
how pronounced hopelessly defec
tive, and cannot he used.
The real message fluttered from the
table to the floor, and Schmidt stooped
b* Pb'k It up. He lind never been nl-
lowed to see sueh things, and glanced
the slip curiously.
“It is verhoten 1” declared the hnron,
•Hatching ttie paper.
“Herr baron,” said Schmidt, "surely
these American swine must see now
have complete mastery."
" ar,| t> Von Wurst coughed.

like skull of Schmidt “Hut we

NOTICE.
We have re-opened our meat market
but find it impossible to get the proper
help to send out orders, therefore we
are forced to abandon a delivery serv
ice.
Our market will be operated on a
cash basis in order to do away with
the expense of employing a collector.
By this new method we will be able
to give our customers better prices
and first class meats. All orders will
receive my personal attention.

the American troops during the bat
tle of Chatcau-Thioiry furnished only
one Instance of the service being
rendered to the soldiers of Uncle Sam
And his allies by the Salvation Array
workers now detailed with the fight
ing units on the western front.
The troops had been hammering
at the Boche all day and all night
and many of thejn had been put out
of action during the terrific fighting,
but although suffering from wounds
made by shrapnel, rifle bullets and
hand grenades, most of the Injured
men were conscious and many'of
them able to get abont with the aid
of Improvised crutches. The surgeons
were busy in the dressing stations
and the waiting soldiers wanted noth
ing so much as a good drink of
something cold and refreshing.
Then It was that the Salvation Ar
my workers came along with several
barrels filled with sure enough lem
onade. Where they got the lemons
or the sugar nobody knows, but the
soldiers asked no questions as they
dove for the tin hups that were piled
alongside the barrels on a huge truck.
The surgeons said afterward that
the lemonade served to keep down
the temperature of many a lad whose
wounds could not be dressed until
the most serious cases had x been at
tended to. And what that cupful of
food old Yankee drink meant to
those boys who had just come out of
the Inferno of Chateau-Thlerry, will
never be told.

Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite

disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began to have
regular sick headache. 1 had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were
