TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17. A Nervous Wreck Had No Desire ! To Live nPeruna Is A Tonic and Strength Builder ' So Says ,\1 rs. Fran k Stroebe, R. F. D. 1, Appleton, Wis. Her let :«*£; i jj / sjo? 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.

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- VICTOR OVER AMBASSADOR GERARD IN RACE FOR U.
