WHAT AMERICA AND
THE ALLIES DID
WONDERFUL STORY OF THINGS
ACCOMPLISHED.
Range of Guns Increased
Five American Planes Equal or Better
Than Any in Europe.
U-Boat Campaign Offset.
You know of course our country
did things bordering on miracles in
the war but did you know just what
some of those things are? Just what
"economic and military "miracles"
were accomplished? Do you keep a
scrap book? If so the following
brief outline of those things will be
well worth cutting out. For assuredly,
nothing you now have in it could
make more interesting reading.
The information was contained in
a circular gotten ?ut by the Army
Recruiting Service, which is now getting
out numerous interesting and
.instructive articles showing what the
army offers as a career, what it has
accomplished and some of the things
it plans to accomplish. *

Ruidoso, Tex., Sept. 13.?"The
most decorated man in the army."
Such was the remark of Major
General Robert L. Howze as he
watched Brig.-Gen. James B. Erwin
present three medals for bravery to
Private Marcelina Serna,
The medals are:
The French Medaille Militaire, the
highest decoration awarded to an enlisted
man by the French.
The Palm of the Croix de Guerre.
The Italian War Cross.
Serna was already in possession of
the Distinguished Service Cross, presented
personally by General Pershing
at Drier, Germany.
The Croix de Guerre, pinned on
him by Gen. Foch at Brest.
Serna is a Mexican, born in the
city of Chihuahua, 25 years ago. '
Coming to this country he had taken
out his first papers when America
entered the war.
Serna heeded the first call of his
adopted country and enlisted in the
regular army.
Transferred to a division of national
army men, he was sent pverseas
in 1918. "a
He was member of Company B,
355th regiment of the 89th Division,
when that division took part in the
terrific fighting in the Argonne in
the fall of 1918. >
His company was hurled tim? and
again against the German lines. And
always Serna was one of the first
"over the top."
Two machine gun nests held up the
advance.
Serna's squad was ordered to take
them.
Advancing, Serna saw his companions
fall one by one.
Alone he continued, putting both
the enemy guns out of business end
killing and capturing 24 Germans.

You are' more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your

nervousness and sickness.

restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its strengthening, invigorating effect, see
how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then

GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not a patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON
to Enrich it These reliable tonic properties
never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands of homes.
More than thirty-five years ago, folks
would ride a long distance to get GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC when a
member of their family had Malaria or
needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic. The formula is just the same today,
and you can get it from any drug
store. 60c per bottle.
