The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.
You can take an onion seed and a nansy
seed, and plant them sido by side in the
oaine spot of ground. Iu one case, you
get an onion, with ita peculiarly Btrong
odor, and in the other you get a flower of
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get, opium (a dangerous, habit-forming
ilrug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
not somettiing that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. . Behind the
invisible lifo germ iu each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y.. long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases. Ho
learned it nil through treating thousands
of coses. The result of his studios was a
mcdicino called Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakuning
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir
regularities, pelvic inflammations, and foi
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. Dr. Pierco's Favorite
Prescription is made of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blui
cohosh root and Oregon grapo root.
Women who take thin standard remedy
know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription they are getting a safo woman's
tonio bo good that druggists everywhere
sell it. -
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because, it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic Dr. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so ho has
always kept them out of his remedies.
Send lOo to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. for trial pkg. Tablets.

British Army in France
(Oopjright, 1HT, by The McOlure Newspaper
Syndicate)
There were six of us.
"Curly" Wallace was called "Curly"
because he had the cutest little Delia
Fox, or spit curl, as the gum-chewers
call it, you ever saw. Wallace was
proud of that curl, and gave It the
best of attention and care. He was
Scotch.
"Happy" Houghton earned his nick
name by his constant smile and happy
disposition. He was English, a Lon
doner. "Hungry" Foxcroft really earned his
title. He took special pains that our
rations would not become mildewed by
lying around too long in the dampness
of our dugout. He was English ; also
from London.
"Ikey" Honney, dubbed "Ikey" be
cause in one of our theatrical at
tempts he took the part of "Ikey Co
hensteln," and made quite a hit. Eng
lish, via London.
"Dick" Turpln, ' called "Dick" in
memory of the notorious highwayman.
He used to help the quartermaster ser
geant, so the name waa very appropri
ate. He was Irish, from Dublin.
I was the sixth. The boys put the
prefix "Yank" to my name, because 1
was American and hailed from the
"Big Town" behind the statue of lib
erty. The six of us composed the crew oi
gun No. 2 of the th brigade ma
chine company. We were mnchint
gunners nnd our gun was the Vickers,
light, 803, water-cooled.
It was a rainy afternoon in June,
and we were sitting In our dugout in
the front-line trench, about 300 yards
from the German lines.
If you should ask a Tommy Atklni
"What Is a dugout?" he would look ai
you In astonishment, and, pitying you
for your apparent lack of education,
would answer, "What's a dugout 1
Why a dugout is a well, a dugout's a
dugout." Only being a Tommy pro
torn pro tern in my case meaning "for
duration of war" I will try to de
scribe to the best of my ability this
particular dugout
A dugout Is a hole in the ground.
Gets its name because it Is dug out
by the Royal Engineers, or It. E.'s as
we call them. It is used to shelter the
men in the trenches from shell fire,
They also sleep in it, or try to. From
our point of view, its main use is to
drain the trenches of muddy water
and give us rheumatism. It also
makes n good hotel for rats. These
guests look upon us as Intruders nnd
complain that we overcrowd the place.
Occasionally we give In to them, and
take n turn In the trench to rest our
selves. '
Our dugout was nbout twenty feet
deep, or, at least, there were twenty
wooden steps leading down to it. The
ceiling and walls were braced by
heavy, square-cut timbers. Over the
timbers in the colling sheets of coi
rugnted Iron wore spread to keep the
wet earth from falling In on us. The
entrance was heavily sandbagged and
very narrow; there was only room for
one person to leave or enter at n time.
The celling was six feet high nnd the
floor space was ten feet by Hlx feet.
Through the celling n six-Inch square
all-shaft was cut. We used to take
turns sleeping under this In wet
weather.
The timbers bracing the walls were
driven full of nails to hang our equip
ment on. After our ammunition, belt
filling machine, equipment, rifles, etc.,
had been stored- away, there was not
much space for six men to live, not
forgetting the rats.
It was very dark In the dugout, and
as we were only issued n candle and a
half every twenty-four hours we had
to economize on light. Woe betide the
last man who left the candle burning!
In this hotel of ours we would sit
around the lonely candle and through
a thick haze of tobacco smoke would
recount our different experiences at
various points of the line where we
had been, or spin yarns about home.
Sometimes we would write a letter,
when we were fortunate enough to he
near the candle. At other times we'd
sit for nn hour without saying a word,
listening to a Gorman over In the en
emy's front trench playing a cornet.
My, how that Hoche could play! Just
to make us hate the war he'd play "Su
wunee River," "Home, Sweet Home,"
or "Over the Waves.'' The latter was
my favorite. During his recital our
trenches were strangely quiet. Never
n shot from either side.
Sometimes, when he had finished,
Ikey Honney would go into the trench
nnd play on his harmonica. As soon
as we'd see that harmonica come out
It was a case of "duck down low," for
the Germans would be sure, when the
first strains reached them, to send over
"live rounds rapid." We hated that
harmonica. More than once we
chucked one over the top, but he'd sit
i! u It'll ui-.. uud iu abinit ten
Unys" "time would receive, tnrougn tne
mall a little oblong package, and we'd
know we were in for some more "five
round rapids." We didn't blame the
Germans.
Still, that harmonica had its uses.
Often we would get downhearted and
"fed up" with the wnr, and "grouse"
at everything in general. Then Ikey
would reach In his pocket nnd out
would come that Instrument of tor
ture. We would then realize there
were worse things than wnr, nnd cheer
up accordingly.
On this particular rainy afternoon
in June we were in a talkative mood.
Perhaps it was due" to the fact that
Curly Wallace had made his "Tom
mle's cooker" do wliat It wns supposed
to do make water boll in nn hour
nnd a half. A "Tommle's cooker" Is a
spirit stove which is very widely ad
vertised as a suitable gift to the men
in the trenches. Many were sent out,
and many were thrown away.
Anyway, the "cooker" lived up to Its
reputation for once, though a little be
hind its advertised schedule in mak
ing water boll. Curly passed around
the result of his efforts, in the form
of nn ammunition tin half full of fair
ly good tea. We each took a good
swig, lighted a cigarette they had
"come up" with the rations the night
before and settled back against the
damp earthen walls of the dugout, to
see who could tell the biggest lie. For
a few minutes silence reigned no one
seemed to care to be the first to break
in.
Then Dick Turpla, turning to me,
asked :
"Remember Burton of A company?
Think he was in the Third platoon;
the fellow that was recommended' for
the V. C. and refused it. Got the rec
ommendation for rescuing his platoon
commander under fire."
I answered in the affirmative and
Dick "carried on" with: "I never could
see into that affair, because they
seemed to be the worst of enemies.
The officer was always picking on him ;
used to hnve him 'on the crime sheet'
for the least offense. Got hlra sever
al days of extra pack drill, and once
he clicked twenty-one days' crucifixion'
(field punishment No. 1, tied to n
limber wheel two hours per day for
twenty-one days).
"No matter what dirty fatigue or
working party came along, Burton's
name was sure to head the list.
"This Burton appeared to be a surly
sort of a chap, kept to himself a whole
lot, always brooding, didn't have many
friends in the company, either. There
seemed to be something en his mind.
"Most of the company men said his
sweetheart back in Blighty had thrown
him down for some other bloke."
Happy Houghton butted in : "That's
the way with this world, always ham
mering at a fellow. Well,-1 know this
Burton, and there's not a better mate
in the world, so let that sink into your
nappers."
"Don't get sore, Happy," said Hon
ney. "If you don't mind, let's have th
story. I meant no offense. Just nat
urally curious, that's all. You can't
deny that the whole affair has. been
quite a mystery to the brigade. Spit
It out and get It off your chest."
"Let's have it, Happy," we all
chimed In chorus.
Happy, somewhat -mollified, lighted
a cigarette, took two or three puffs,
and started:
"Well, it was this way, but don't ask
any questions until I am through.
"You know Burton Isn't what you'd
call a prize beauty when it comes to
looks. He's nbout five, six in height,
stocky, a trifle bowlegged and pug
nosed. To top this he has a crop of
red hair nnd his clock (face) Is the
boarding house for every freckle in
the United Kingdom. But strong I Say,
that fellow could make Samson look
like a consumptive when, he got
started.
"In Blighty, before the war, Burton
and this lieutenant his name is Hus
ton went to the same college.
"Huston was nearly six feet high
and slender. Sort of a dandy, fair
haired, lots of dough, which he never
got by working; his papa wished It on
him when he went west (died). He
was good-looking and had a way with
the girls which made them think lie
was the one and only. Didn't care
much for athletics. Girls, dances and
card parties were more In his line.
"They were In the same class. Bur
ton was working his way through, and
consequently Huston looked down on
hlra as a bally bounder. Among the
athletes Burton was popular, Huston
' wasn't.
"Burton was engaged or thought
he was to a pretty fine girl by the
name of Betty. She thought Burton,
or 'Ginger,' as she called him, was the
finest thing out. One day Ginger took
her to see a football gnme at the col
lege ; he was playing on the team, so
she had to sit it out alone. During this
'sitting it out,' she met Huston and the
trouble started. He was dead gone on
her nnd she liked him, so he mude hay
while the sun wa.s shining.
"She didn't exactly turn Ginger
down, but he was no boob and saw
how things were, so he eased out of
the running, although It almost broke
his heart; he certainly loved that girl.
"This state of affairs widened the
gap between nuston and JRurton. They
hated each other pretty fiercely, but
Burton never wenfe out of his way to
show It, while Huston took every op
portunity to vent his spleen. Ginger
saw Betty very seldom, and when he
did, she was generally uccompanled by
Huston.
"Then the war came; Ginger Imme
diately enlisted us a private. He could
have had a commission, but did not
want to take a chance of having to
mix with Huston.
"A few weeks after Ginger's enlist
ment, Huston joined too was losing
prestige In Betty's eyes by staying In
muftl. He went into the O. T. 0 (of
ficers' training corps). In seven months
he received his commission nnd was
drafted to France. Ginger had beeu
out three months.
"Before leaving, Huston proposed to
Betty and was accepted. By one of
the many strange coincidences that
happen in this world Huston was sent
to the battalion nnd compuny that Gin
ger was In nnd wns put In commune'
of Ginger's platoon. Then things hap
pened. "Ginger could hardly believe his eyes
when he first saw Huston nud knew he
was to be Ms olatoou commander. He

Huston was to go over with the first
wave, while Ginger was In the second.
Here was his chance.
"All that night he crouched on the

his revenge. He prayed to Betty to
forgive him for what he was going to

"After the bombardment the next
morning over went the first wave, a

CASE IN CIRCUIT COURT
The suit of W. M. Hostettler
against R. F. Eccles, in which Hos

it to grain, and that in tho lease there
was a clause providing that he should
receive remuneration for his labor
and seed planting, in case the land
was sold. The land was sold to
Eccles, and plaintiff alleges that Ec

Otherwise, according to the federal
corn experts, the silage corn makes
a rapid, long-jointed, tender, succu
lent growth, and is so green when
fall frosts occur that it is heavy to
handle, low in feeding value, and pro
duces ensilage which is sloppy and
too sour. On the other hand, if the
silage corn is planted late in April or
early in May it makes a slower, hard
ier growth, it better withstands
spring frosts and summer drouths,
and reaches a more advanced condi
tion of maturity and produces more
grain. This applies particularly to
the large-growing ensilage varieties,
and usually does not include the early
