CHAPTER XIV.

Sui- cide Club, and was exempt from all fatigues. ‘Then camoe an awful shock.

" 'Cordin’. to orders you've been taken up.on the strength .of this sec- tion, and will- have to do your bit with “tm picl ud shovel, same as the rest of us. | I put up a howl on my way to get my shovel, but the only thing that re- sulted was a loss of good humor .on my. part. ¥ . We fell in at eight o'clock outside of. our billets, a sort of masquerade party. I was disguised as a comman laborer, had a pick and shovel and about one hundred empty sandbags. The rest. aboyt two hundred in all, were equipped likewise; pick, shovels, sandbags, rifles and ammunition, The party moved out in colurn -of fours, taking the road leading to the trenchés, - . Several times we had to string out in the ditch to let long col- umns of limbers, anmery and supplies get past. The marching, under these condi- tions, was necessarily slow. Upon ar- rival ‘at the entrance to the communi- cation trench, I looked at my illum- inated wrist-watch—it was eleven o’clock. Before entering this trench, word “no talking or smoking lead off in single file, cov- ering party first.” This covering party . consisted of thirty men, armed with rifles, bayo- nets. bombs and two Lewis machine guns. They were to protect us and guard against a surprise attack while digging in No Man’s Land. The communication trench - was about balf a mile long a zigzagging ditch, eight feet deep and three feet wide. Now and again, - German shrapnel would whistle overhead and burst in our - vicinity.

Pifteen years ago, in a little North Carolina’ town, a druggist discovered @ process of combining the old-fash- ioned remedies—Camphor, Turpentine and Menthol—with certdin volatile oils such -as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper, so that, when applied ex- ternally, the body heat would vapor- ize these ingredients. These vapors, inhaled all night long, carry the medi- cation, with each, breath, direct to the air passages and lungs. Today this vapor treatment, Vick's VapoRub, is almost universally used throughout the South in preference to intermal “dosing.” It is quick in its action, and what is more important, particularly to mothers ‘with small children, it is applied externally and hence .does not disturb the most deli- cate stomach.
