PAGE TWO TELLS OF THRILLS WHEN SHELLS FLY MAN WHO SAW WAR ON FOUR FRONTS ESCAPES DEATH MANY TIMES WHILE SERV- - ING SOLDIERS. Chicago.—More than 700 Y. M. C. A. workers saw service with the soldlers of the American expeditionary force in the front lines during the last months of the war. Frank M. Van Epps, serlously wounded while serving as a Y. M. C. A. worker in the Argonne, told of some of his experlences in a talk at the Y. M. O. A. college here: On the way to France last April on the Oronzo, Van Epps and 56 other “Y" men narrowly escaped drowning when the ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat. Van Epps was divisional secretary of the Y. M. C. A, outfit. He worked with the Fifth division until the armis- tice was signed. He was dressed up in a’ doughboy’s uniform when he arrived here. A limp and a kitbag slung over his shonlder containing what is left of his equipment complete his couvenirs of‘ more than six months’ service over- seas. Van Epps saw the war on four fronts fn France and Alsace, serving in the first-line trenches on two of them. When the Orenzo was torpedoed on April 290 60 miles off the coast of ‘Wales U-boats “got” two out of a con- voy of seven steamships. The Oronzo went down in 12 minutes after she was struck, and Van Epps and other “Y” men lost all their baggage. They were plcked up by a torpedo-boat destroyer and landed at Hollyhead, Wales, In Front Line, In southern and middle Alsace, Van Hpps was in the first-line trenches and at St. Mihlel, when the drive opened, he became a stretcher bearer after his supplies ran out. Getting word to shift to the Argonne, he traveled all night by traln, on trucks and afoot, and spent the next three weeks sleep- ing in shell holes and trenches when he was not at work. At Madedeine farm, on October 18, Van Epps and Thomas F. Hadley of Towa, another Y. M. C. A, man, set up shop In an old barn. All but three of the twenty-five “Y” workers went back to get supplles. The barn had been under shell fire for several days, but ‘Van Bpps and Hadley declded it was good enough to sleep in. They bullt a bed of boxes of jam, with a tub of chewing tobacco for a pillow and lay down. Half a mile back, an American bat- téry was hapmering the Germans, and two German airsplanes came over look- g for the position. They let go tvo bombs which landed on each side of the barn. Soon came a third, which struck the roof, bringing down a mass of rafters and beams and scattering shrapnel. A splinter was driven through the calf of one of Hudley's legs and a plece of shell tore through both of Van Epps’ thighs. After dressing stations and field hos- pitals had finished with them they spent half a day in an ambulance and then were put abonrd a French hos- pital train, where they remained an- other two days, One of these days was Sunday, so Van Epps, at the sugges- tiou of some of the doughboys, “put on” a service, eonducting it propped up in his streteher, Soldiers to Study.

One of them was such a fool that he would not stay avay from the front line, and he pat so tied up with Boche shells and other projectiles that we were forced to reconnnend him for a Distinguished Service Cross, That is a sample of the men you have sent to us. Please keep this work up and whether, I am com- manding this division or not, the things that you have done will make a lasting impression upon it." I Honor “Y” Worker in Russia.

If you are acustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise await- ing you. Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it.” This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of! your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indi- gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening | and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipa- tion or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morn- ing inside-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become en- thusiastic and keep it up daily. ' It is a splendid health measure for it is morc important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the out- side, hecause the skin pores do not|: absorb impurities into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do. The principel’ of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people prac- tice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stom-|! ach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Lime-|| stone phosphate ,is -an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless. i B e FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1919 | After the “Flu” - —Fever or Cold Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons Out of the Digestive Tract TR Millions are now suffering from the eofter effects of the deadly ‘‘flu,” a tever or a cold. Their appetites are poor; they are weak, and they are waiting for their strength to come back.

This is a poor foundation to build new strength on. Now, tens of thousands OtEl:o le all over this country are using NIC for the purpose of cleaning these poisonous after-effects right out of the system and they are obtaining wonder- ful results—so_ wonderful that the amazingly quick benefits are hardly believable, just as shown in the re- markable letter which is published upon the requestof this sturdy old Civil War veteran. He is 77 years old. Read what he says EATONIC did for him:- “Iam an old soldier, past seyenty- seven years. I had the Spanish in- fluenza and it left my stomach in an doctors but got no relief. As a lasl resort I sent and got a bex of EATONIO and to my greatest sur- { grlse the very first. tablet, I took | elped me.

You want to enjoy life again after you have battled with the ‘‘flu’’, fever or colds, or any other illness that has taken your strength.
