to swerved from the extremely
alistic turn of fiction to the extreme
ly prurient. We lack the stable bal
ance of the island English who cat
manage human life and yet bo clean
and moral without offensively weak
sentiment.
Fiction concerned with historic
periods runs rival to historic narra
tive. The supporter of Mr. Heming
way’s book will perhaps plead that
he has based his story on the life of
the battlefield .and the war-lathed
countries. But the historian
plead that his records must deal with
facts, events, consequences, not with
emotion as such. FAREWELL TO

though its incidents may be based on
The American army won the war
which was not of our making. Other
nations have honored the winners of
their wars. It remains for the Unit
ed States to make a first seller of
a booK that dishonors the name and
reputation of our soldiers abroad.
The le-ading character in Mr. Heming
way's book is an American soldier
serving with the Italian army. Per
haps the book is based on facts, but
even so its does us no credit to
popularize the work which reeks of
the foul and evil and dishonors our
men abroad.

PAINFUL INDIGESTION
Ltiy Says She Obtained Relief
By Taking Small Doses
of Thedford s Black-
Draught.
Ardmore, Okla —“I have recom
mended Black-Drp -feUt to a great
many people, and they always thank
me, afterwards," says Mrs. Czarina
Doke, 110 “B” Street, this city.
"Fifteen years ago. I was in very
bad health. I suffered a great deal
with Indigestion, and I traveled from
one place to another In search of
health, but nothing helped me. I
lost In weight, and my food disagreed
with me, and I could scarcely eat a
bite that did not give me Indigestion.
“Often I had bod gas pains across
my stomach, and X would woke up
in the mornings with very bad head
aches. I had a bad taste if) my
mouth, and would feel dizzy when
I was on my feet.
“X began taking Block-Draught
and soon found that X was getting
better. I took a do.* about the size
of a pea, four or five times a day,
for three or four days.
“After I had taken several courses
of Black-Draught, In that wny, I
felt line, I no loutcr had Indiges
tion. I could cat what I likcdTand
enjoyed my meals. I gained In
weight, and felt able to care for my
children and do my housework."
