F. Osteon, Mrs. Elgin HELPS TO KEEP CHILDREN WELL Texas Lady Tells About Her Family's Use of Thedford's Black-Draught, Hlllsboro, Texas. Mrs. Oscar Williams, of 104 West Paschal Street, this city, says that sho has used Thedford's Black-Draught In her family for the last six years, and tells of giving It her children.

when needed. "It Yib been a great help to me In keeping them healthy," she explains. "I give the children Black-Draught for colds and constipaion. "Whenever any of the children are cross or feverish, I start giving them Black -Draught In small doses. It isn't long until they are lively and full of energy.

I use Black -Draught with them because it keeps the bowels clean and clears the system of Impurities. "I grew up to think Thedford's Black-Draught was 'the only My mother used it In her family. I've taken it myself since childhood. It relieves biliousness and sick headache. I am hardly ever without It in my house.

"I always feel fresh and more able to do my work after I've taken a course of Black-Draught." Lwmm These new models selected by our New York office for their outstanding smartness and value.

I look at him and say, Territorial Kantorek, business is business and schnapps is schnapps, wou ought to know that well enough t'ourself.

This la one of Himmelstoss' well worn reeeipes. Kantorek can hardly sxnect anv thing else from Mlttelstaedt for ho once messed up the tatter's chance of promotion, and Mlttelstaedt would be a big fool not to make the best of such an opportunity aa this, before he goes back to the front again.

A man might well die easier after the army has given mm Just one such stroke of luck. In the meantime Kantorek Is dashing; up and down like a wild boar. After a while Mlttelstaedt stops the skirmish and begins the very Important exercise of creeping. On hands and knees, carrying his gun In regular fashion, Kantorek shoves his absurd figure over the sand immediately In front of us. He Is breathing hard, and his pant ing is muslo.

Mlttelstaedt encourages Kan torek the Territorial with quota Hons from Kantorek the School master. "Territorial Kantorek, we have the food fortune to live in a great age, we must all humble our selves and for once put aside bit' terness." Kantorek sweats and spits out a dirty piece of wood that has lodg ed in his teeth. Mlttelstaedt stoops down and says reproachfully: And. in the trifles never lose sight of the great adventure, Territorial Kantorek.1 It amazes me that Kantorek does not explode with a bang, especially when, during physiclal exercises. Mlttelstaedt copies him to perfec tlon, seizing him by the seat of bis trousers as he is climbing along above the horizontal bar, so that he can just raise his chin above the beam, and then starts to give him good advice.

That is exactly what Kantorek used to do to him at school. The extra fatigues are next de tailed off. "Kantorek and Boett cher, bread fatigue! Take the hand -cart with you." In a couple of minutes the two set off together pushing the barrow. Kantorek in a fury walks with his hea down. But the porter is delighted to have scored light duty.

The bakehouse is away at the other end of the town, and the two must go there and back through the whole length of It Theyve done that a couple of times already," grins Mlttelstaedt There are still a few people wait ing to see them." I say, "but hasn't he reported you yet?" 'He did try. Our C. O. laughed like the deuce when he heard the story. He hasn't any time for schoolmasters.

Besides, I'm sweet with his daughter." He'll mess up the examination for you." I don care," says Mlttelstaedt calmly. "Besides, his complaint came to nothing because I could show that he had hardly anything but light duty." "Couldn't you polish him ud a bit?" I ask. "He's too stupid. I couldn't be bothered." answers Mittlestaedt contemptuously. What is leave? A pause that only makes everything after it so much worse.

Already the sense of parting begins to intrude Itself. My mother watches me silently I know she counts the days every morning she is sad. It is one day less. She has put away my pack, she does not want to be reminded by It. The ho.urs pass quickly If a man broods.

I pull my self together. and go with my sister to the butcher's to get a pound of bones. That is great luxury and people line up early in the morning and stand waiting. Many of them faint. We have no luck.

After waiting by turns for three hours the queue disperses. The bones have not lasted out. It Is a good thing I get my ra tions. I bring them to my mother and in that way we all get something decent to. eat The days grow ever more straln- and my mother's eyes more sor rowful.

Four days left now. I must go and see Kemmerich's mother. I cannot write that down. This quaking, sobbing woman who ehakes and cries out on me: Why are you living then when he is dead?" who drowns me In tear and calls out: "What are you there for at all, child when you who drops into a chair and wails: "Did you see him? Did you see him then? How did he die?" I til her he was shot --through the heart and died instantaneous ly. She looks at me, she doubts me: 'You lie.

I know better. I have felt how terribly he died. I have heard his voice at night I have felt his anguish tell the truth. I want to know It. I must know it." "No" I say, "I was beside him He died at once." She pleads with men gently: Tell me.

You must tell me. I know you want to comfort me. but lon't you see. you torment me far more than If you Mid me the truth? One Polishing i 8I will be terrible. It will be far bet ter than what have to think if you don't" I will never tell her she can make mince-meat out of me first I console her, but she strikes me as rather stupid all the same.

Why dosen't she atop worrying? Kem merlch will stay dead whether she knows about It or not When a man has seen so many dead he cannot understand any longer why there should be so much anguish over single Individual. So say rather impatiently: "He died Immediately. He felt absolutely nothing at all. His face was quite calm." She Is silent. Then she says slow ly "Will you swear It?" "Year "By everything that is sacred to you?" Good God, what Is there that Is sacred to me? such things change pretty quickly with us.

"Yes, he died at once." "Are you willing never to come back yourself If It isn't true "May never oome. back if he wasn't killed instantaneously." I would swear anything. But she seems to believe me. She moans and weeps steadily. I have to tell how it happned so I invent a story and I almost believe it myself.

As I leave she kisses me and gives me a picture of him. In bis recruit's uniform he leans on round rustic table with legs made of birch branches. Behind him a wood is painted on a curtain and on the table stands a mug of beer. (To Be Continued) SPECIAL COAL For Cook Stoves and Wster Hesters TANKARD WOODALL Phone 6-2561 Lebanon.
