ter reads: I began using Peruna a
few months ago when my health and
strength were all gone, and I was
nothing but a nervous wreck. Could
not sleep, eat or rest properly, and
felt no desire to live.
"Three hottTes of Peruna made me
look at life in a different light, as I
began to regain my lost strength.
While my recovery took nearly four
months, at the end of that time I was
better than I ever had been before.
1 had a splendid color and never
weighed more in my life.
“T certainly think Perqna is with
out a rival as a tonic and strength
builder, and it has my endorsement.”
Mr. Charles Brown, R. R. 4, Box 73,
Rogersville, Tenn., writes: “I have
tried many different remedies, but
have found that Peruna is the great
est tonic on earth, and a perfect svs
tem builder."

II TRIP THROUGH THE BATTLE
SCARRED LANDS OF FRANCE
Lordly Trees Whose Columns Were Two Feet Thick Struck
Squarely in the Center and Burst Asunder by the Shatter
ing Shell-fire The Great Devastation Throughout the
Whole Country.
Paris.--The great glory of the
French highway is its trees. They soar
from its border like the pillars of
cathedral aisles, a definite resem
blance often completed by the double
row of columns on each side and the
tracery and vaulted arches of the
green roof high overhead. Where I
now passed through the tortured and
desolate countryside, most of those
towering trunks were shattered by
shell-fire, and their pitiful fragments
were scattered far over the fields.
Lordly trees whose columns were two
feet thick had been struck squarely
in the middle and hurst asunder, so
that the tipper half had fallen by its
own weight.
Battle of Marne.
I was just a little to the southwest
of the town of Vitry-le-Francois,
around which raged the most critical
and strenuous of the later phases of
the battle of the Marne. Here the
final and the fiercest German attempt
to break through the French lines
was made. For that struggle I claim
the title—now of general misapplica
tion of the "greatest in the world’s
history,” for it marked the accomp
lishment of what had begun to look
hopeless—the arrest of the Teutonic
advance and the saving of Europe's
fairest city from the barbarians. Had
the awful struggle around Vitrey
ended in favor of the invader, the
Frencli army of Louraine would have
been isolated and compelled surrender,
and the enemy would have establish
ed a new, short and all-German line
of communication, through Metz and
Strasshurg to replace those long and
perilous Belgian lines which they aro
now so desperately defending.
Titanic Struggle.
And the mute, terrific evidence of
that Titanic struggle swarmed about
me. The roadside ditches were
scooped with the hasty hollows of
honeycomb shelters for prostrate
riflemen. Of many things in those
trenches one does not care to write,
but I picked up several postcards,
written there, and couched in terms
of tenderest affection, postcards in
describably obliterated, and never to
be posted.
Total disaster overtook the village
of Hulneau, whose ghastly ruin I
found perched on the west bank of
the Marne just south of Vitry. It had,
perhaps, IQO to 160 houses, a factory
and a church. One cottage alone was
intact. Of the rest, only black and
gaunt walls reared themselves from
Appetite Follows
Good Digestion
Nearly everyone indulges their
appetite and the digestive or
gans are abused, resulting in a
congestion of poisonous waste
that clogs the bowels and
causes much misery and dis
tress.
The most .effective remedy to
correct this condition is the
combination of simple laxaxttve
herbs with pepsin known as
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
This is a natural, pleasant
fasting remedy, gentle yet pos
itive in action, and quickly re
lieves indigestion, constipation,
sick headache, belching, etc.
Drug stores sell Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin at fifty
cents and one dollar a bottle,
and in thousands of homes it 'a
the Indispensable family remedy.

a chaos of bricks, furniture and char
red beams. In the churchyard, a no
tice-bcard still protruded from the
mountain of consecrated debris with
the ironical legend: "Rubbish must
not be drepped hero.”
Raking Over Rubbish Heaps.
A few old people were slowly raking
over the rubbish-heaps In the houses
in sad and hopeless quest of something
dear to them; and here I saw a dra
matic picture that is burned forever
on my memory. As I led my bicycle
through the obstacles that still lay
about the toad, an old, old woman
saw me approach, and with the shreds
of intelligence left her by horror and
senility she recognized me ns a stran
ger—someone not French.
Just behind her there still stood the
blackened framework of a door—all
that was left of her home. Still re
sponsive to a primeval and eternal
instinct, she backed hastily into the
emptyway, leaned one arm on it, and
watched me pass with a dark mis
trust born of the Prussian terror. Be
hind her, only a heap of rubbish re
mained of the sanctuary she had long
known and still claimed.
The few household effects that had
escaped the fire were being collected
into a cart; Hutneau was no more.
It was a common enough sight to me
in the next few days—too common to
bear repetition—hut not, perhaps, to
quite the same last limit of destruc
tion.
Hungry,
* You may imagine that I went hun
gry hereabouts. As seven that morn
ing I had had coffee and crusts —
there was no butter. At one oY two
villages on the road they had laughed
ironically when I inquired for a case
or restaurant. It was now one o’clock.
Several times I had to dismount
and lead my bicycle around the edge
of great yawning holes in the road
caused by big shells—holes that reach
ed from side to side of it; holes in
which you could have buired a horse
and cart. The body of a fine horse
still lay on the roadside with terrible
indications of the death agony.
It was difficult- to get into Vitry
le-Francois itself —difficult by reason
of inquisitive soldiers and sentries,
who seemed to wonder greatly how I
had got there at all; difficult by
reason of clinging mud that choked
my brakes and mudguards, and had
to be dug out; by reason of direction
plates shot away or purposely oblit
erated. Smart. intelligent officers,
challenged me last of all as I crossed
the Marne and reached the bonny,
well-placed town at two in the after
noon.
Never Shelled.
Although the name of Vitry-le-
Francoiß was on everybody's lips for
a week, although it was taken, lost
and retaken by the Germans, with the
fiercest of hand to hand fighting in
the streets, it was obviously never
shelled, and beyond bullet-marks and
broken windows It showed no marks
of the destructive Prussian path. Yet
it was a stricken town. Only one or
two shops were unshuttered, and few
civilians mixed with the swarming
soldiery.
Ravenously hungry, T sought the
' appointed hotel 1 ' of the Touring Club
de France. It was "closed till further
notice." An officer whom 1 appealed
to indicated a small restaurant in a
remote corner of the public square.
His expressed fear of a vain quest
was well founded.
Food Conditions.
They had only old bread to offer,
but told me a email grocery hard by,
where a joint of cold veal was being
sold slice by slice. Hastening thither
I was Just in time to secure the fag
end—the parson's nose, so to speak.
At the Marne bridge I passed again
the officer who had disputed my en
try. This time he smiled, and I stop
ped for a chat. I saw him stop a cou
ple of soldiers who were carrying be
tween them a big basket of freshly
dug potatoes, doubtless destined for
the mess-pot. and I heard his sharply
insisting that all such "helpings"
must be paid for. He appeared to
take it for granted that no such pay
ment had been made, having probably
an intimate knowledge of those pre
datory infantrymen’s financial re-

MI-O-NA QUICKLY
ENDS INDIGESTION
Eat Your Favorite Food and
Never Fear After-Distress.
There is a way for you to eat what
ever your stomach craves and do it
over again the next day. Many will
say “How I wish I could but I have
tried and every time it nearly kills
me."
The real trouble is that people who
suffer the untold agony of Indigestion,
do not properly care for the stomach.
Every stomach has a lot of work to
perform in digesting the food and If
crowded with extra labor it rebels and
kicks up a fearful disturbance.
Ml-o-na, a simple, harmless, inex
pensive and most effective prescrip
tion, easily obtained at any drug store,
will quickly stop this disturbance.
Ml-o-na was especially prepared to
regulate out-of-order stomachs. It
not only helps the over-worked di
gestive organs hy increasing the flow
of gastric Juices, but surely and
safely builds up and strengthens the
stomach walls so that the stomach
can care for the food as nature In
tended
It's needless for you to suffer with
Indigestion, heartburn, biliousness,
sour, gassy or upset stomach, for
Ml-o-na should give prompt and last
ing relief Do not delay but get some
of these health-restoring tablets from
T. O. Howard today. If Ml-o-na does
not banish all stomach distress, there
will not be a penny of expense.
