Trench warfare may shorten a man’s life, may tend to chop some years or months off the end of bis earthly career, but in the matter of actual time things are evened vp. He lives in the trenches all the years that are destined to be clipped from his allotted span in the future. THOUGHTS OF HOME COME IN THE NIGHT, “When docs the soldier in the trenches think about home and mother, wife or aweetheart or children—or of father back there, doing his bit, per- haps, too? Such thoughts generally come to the soldier in the silent watches of the night, when he is stationed at a firing post on the trench line, or at @ listening post out in no man’s land. At such times he is practically alone. No unnecessary nolse is permitted. Conversation fs tn whispers) Say it is midnight. The bombardments have died away. Only the occasional spat of a rifle or ripple of machine gun fire indicates the fact that there are watchful men awake on both sides. “Thero is something about starlight or moonlight which breeds sent!- ment, and sentiment is what turns the thoughts of the soldier back to the loved ones at home. Out there in the stillness and solitude he can think and keep a lookout at the same time. Often his gaze searches the heavens for familiar stars, and he thinks those stars are hovering over his home— or if the moon és out he thinks that probably some of his folks are looking at that same moon and wondering what kind of a scene it is illuminating for the boy at the front. “At the firing post or tho listening post fn the dead silence of the night tho soldier dreams of what he is going to do when he gets back there. He pictures himself marching through the streets of his home—he can almost feel the strain of the arms of loved ones about him, the touch @ their lips to his own, the warmth and moisture of their tears—and his tears—on his face. Maybe there's a Girl. It is {n the stillness of the night at the listening post or the firing post that the soldier begins to worry about the Girl. What {s she doing to-night? He hasn't had a letter from her in a month. Maybe she has thrown him down and is going to marry some white-livered slacker who stayed at home and let men with guts go out and do his fighting for him. Oh, very well! Even if she does forget him while he is risking his life, she will be sorry when In Times of War— Build Up Your Body Tf your blood's a slacker, your body can’t measure up to the needs of a war-stricken world, Nature and Gude’s Pepto-Mangan are powerful allies in routing the physical disorders that spring from poor blood. In times of peace the need for able- bodied men and women is great enough. In times of war it is trebly great. Yet for every man fit to fight and every woman fit to do war work, there is a man or woman incapaci- tated by physical weakness. The average weak person has no seri- ous organic trouble. He is run-down, anemic, and under weight because his blood is below par. The depleted red blood cells are unable to perform and sensible Gude's Pepto-Mangan is more than builder. It fills the red blood cells number. meant you to be, Ph ye a general tonic and appetizer, its agri ‘i Beeitennaeh NEWYORK: ¢ full pame—""Gude's Pepto-Mangan.”” Study this picture eo you will know how Pepto-Mangan genuine Pepto-Mangan looks, their vital function of carrying and distributing life-giving oxygen to all parts of the body.

And these French damos ain't so bad—but he hasn't seen any that oan come up to tho Girl. After all, probably she Js all right and true, and maybe just at this minute she {s in her little white bed with his ploture in his soldier clothes clasped to her heart, dreaming of him, Yes, that’s right; that's what she 1s doing. These damned army mails are always behind time, Why, the last time he heard from her, he got four letters in a bunch, And at the end of each letter was a long string of crosses, each cross representing a kiss, and the crosses were blotted, to show that she had actually kissed them. “The soldier feels a soft handclasp on the calf of his leg. He looks down, and in the recesses of tho trench he makes out a shadowy figure. ‘Seen anything? comes a whispered question from below. ‘No, si M quiet here, sir,’ he whispers in reply, and he turns quickly and gazes long and steadily over No Man’s Land to assure himself that things out there are just as they were when he withdrew his gaze a couple of seconds back. There has been no change, and soon his mind is wandering again, back over the thousands of miles that separate him from ali that he holds dear, next to his country, | “Another time when the soldier invariably thinks of home is when he gets back to the rest camp from the trenches and starts to picking the cooties off himself. On such occasions the soldier thinks longingly of the white or tin bathtub In whioh he used to scour himself at least every Sat- urday night, and he thinks of the barber shop where he used to get his hair cut, and he smiles grimly as he brings his imagination to bear on what the barber would say !f he tackled the job of cutting bis hair right now. He looks at.his uniform and quite often he allows his mind to dwell on certain neat, comfortable suits of civilian clothing which are hanging in orderly rows in a certain closet where ho ;Jaced them the day he donned the khaki for the duration of tbr Oh, yes, the soldie? has hig times for thinking about home and the folks at home and gubjects related thereto. “Soldiers are not permitted to talk about how men are killed and| wounded, but I can say this. After a green soldier has seen a few casual- | ties in his {mmediate vicinity he grows to regard them as part of the game, He feels sorry for the poor devil who got his, but sorrow is not so keen as self-congratulation over the fact that, after all, it was the other fellow who got It.” And thus endeth the narrative of Bill Smith, a composite private officer of the American Expeditionary Forces in France. | sanameenneemanmanapannaemeneen THE NEW PLAYS Chauncey Olcott “Feeds” the Child.
