On my second trip to the trenches our offcer was making his rounds of inspection, and we received thie cheer ful news that at four in the morning we were to go over the top and take the German front-line trench. My heart turned to lead. Then the ofmier car ried on with hi'a instructions. To the best of my memory I recall them as followvs: "At eleven a wiring party will go out in front and cut lanes through our barbed wire for the Dassage of troops in the morning, At two o'clock. our artille. y will open up with an la. tense bomrbsardment, which will last uin. til four.

These letters were turned over to the captain with instructions to mail same in the event of the writer's being killed. Some of the men made out their wills in their pay books, under the caption, "Vill and Last Testa ment." Then the nerve-racking wait com meneed. Every now and then I w'ould glance at the diat of my wrist watch and was surprised to see how fast the minutes passed by. About five minutes to two I got nervous waiting for our guns to open up. I could not take my eyes from my watch. I crouched against the parapet and strained my muscles in a deathlike grip upon my rifle. As the hands on my watch showed two o'clock a blinding red flare lighted up the sky in our rear, then thunder, intermixed with a sharp, whis, tling sound in the air over our heads. The shells from our guns were speed ing on their way toward the German lines. With one accord the men sprang up on the fire step and looked over the top in the direction of the German trenches. A line of bursting shells lighted up No Man's Land. The din was terrific and the ground trem bled. Then, high above our heads we could hear a sighing moan. Our big boys behind the line had opened up and 9.2's and 15-inch shells commenced dropping into the Gernin lines. The flash of the guns behind the lines, the scream of the shells through the air, and the flare of them, bursting, was a spectacle that put Pain's greatest dis play into the shade. The constant pup, pup, of German machine guns and an occasional rattle of rifle firing gave me the impression of a huge audience applauding the work of the batteries. Our IS-pounders were destroying the German barhed wire, while the heavier stuff was demolishing their trenches and bhash.ing in dugouts or funk holes. Then Fritz got busy. Their shells went screamning over head, aimedl in the directioni of the flares from our batteries. Trench mor tar-s started dropping "Minnies" in 'ur front li ne. We clicked several eas mi ilties. Then~ they suddenly ceased. (ir artillery had tapedl or silenced them. Durinmg thle bombardment you could almost read a unewsiniper in our trench. .Somet ines~ ini thle fla re of a1 shell-hurst a ruan's body wold lbe silhouetted aga inst t he pamrados of the trench and it appea~mired like a huge monster. You could ha rd ly hear yoursel f think. When an order was to bie paissed down the trench you hadl to yeli it, using your hanrds as a funnel into the ear of the mian sitting ne(xt to you on the fire step. In abhout twenty rninutes a generous rumn issue waus doled out. After drink I ng the ruin, which tasted like varnish aindl sent a shudder through your frame, you wondered why they mnadle you wait until the lifting of the bar rauge before going over. At ten min utes to four wordI was passed down, "Ten aiminutes to go !" Ten minutes to live! WVe were shivering all over. My legs felt as if they were asleep. Then word wvits passed (hown: "F~irst wave get on andl near the scaling lad ders." Before a charge Tommy is the po litest of men. There is never any push ing (or crowdinig to be first up these ladders. We crouched around the base of the ladders waiting for the word to go over. I was sick and faint, and was puffing away at an unlighted fag. Then came the word, "Three minutes to go; upon the lifting of the barragE and on the blast of the whistles, 'Ovem the top with the best o' luck and give them hell.'" Thme famous phrase of the western front, The Jonah phrasE of the western front. To Tommy it means if you are lucky enough to come back you will be minus an arm or a leg. I glanced again at my wrist watch We all wore them and you could hardly call us "sisies" for doing so. It was t minute to four. I could see the hand move to the twelve, then a dead si lence. It hurt. E~vem57one looked 1u1 to see what had happened, but not fom long. Sharp whistle blasts rang oW along the trench, and with a cheer th4 men scrambled up the ladders. Th<I bullets were .cracking overhead, and lccansionalily a machirie gu'ni would rij anid tear tpeo top of the sandbag paira iiet. How I got up that ladder I wil n ever know.

Patches on the ground seemed to float to the rear as if I were on a treadmill and scen ery was rushing past ue. The Ger mans had put a barrage of shrapnel across No Man's Land, and you could hear the pieces slap tb ground about you. After I had passed our barbed wire and gotten into No Man's Land a Tommy about fifteen feet to my right front turned around and looking in my direction, put his hand to his mouth and yelled something which I could not make out on account of the noise from the bursting shells. Then he coughed, stumbled, pitched forward and lay still. Ills body seemed to float to the rear of me, I could hear sharp cracks in the air about me. These were caused by passing rifle bullets. Frequently, to my right and left, little spurts of dirt would rise into the air and a rico chet bullet would whine on its way. If a Tommy should see one of these little spurts in front of him, he would tell the nurse about it later. The crossing of No Man's Land remains a blank to me. Men on my right and left would stumble and fall. Some would try to get up, while others remained huddled and motionless. Then smashed-up barbed wire came into view and seemed carried on a tile to the rear. Suddenly, in front of me loomed a hashed-in trench about four feet wide. Queer-looking forms like mud turtles were scrambling up its wall. One of these forms seemed to slip and then rolled to the bottom of the trench. I leaped across this intervening space. The man to my left seemed to pause in midair, then pitched head down into the German trench. I laughed out loud in my delirium. Upon alighting on the other side of the trench I came to with a sudden jolt. Right in front of me loomed a giant form with a rifle which looked about ten feet long, on the end of which seemed seven bayonets. These flashed in the air in front of me. Then through my mind flashed the admoni tion of our bayonet instructor back in Blighty. He had said, "whenever you get in a charge and run your bayonet up to the hilt into a German the Fritz will fall. Perhaps your rifle will be wrenched from your grasp. Do not waste time, if the bayonet is fouled in his equipment, by putting your foot on his stomach and tugging at the rifle to extricate the bayonet. Simply press the trigger and the bullet will free it." In my present situation this was the logic, but for the life of me I could not remember how he had told me to get my bayonet into the Ger man. To me this was the paramount issue. I closed my eyes and lunged forward. My rifle was torn from my hands. I must have gotten the Ger man because lie had (disappeared. About twenty feet to my left front was a huge Prussian nearly six feet four inches in height, a fine speelmen. of physical manhood. The bayonet from his rifle was missing, but lie clutchedl the barrel in both hands and was swinging the butt around his head. I couldl aimost hear the swish of the butt passing through the air. Threo little Tomnmies were engagedl with him. They looked like pigmies alongside of the Prussian. The Tommy on the left was gradlually circling to the rear of his Opponent. It was a funny sight to see thema (luck the swinging butt and try to jab) him at the same time. Tho Tommy nearest me ,receivedl the butt of the German's rifle in a smashing blow hbelow the right temiple. It samashedi his head like an eggshell. Hie Piched forward on his shId and a con vulsive shudder ran through his body. Meanwhile the othe'r Tommny had gainedl the rear ot the Prussian. Suid dlenly about four inches of bayonet protruded fromi the throat of the P'rus sian soldhier, who stauggeredi forward and fell. I ill never forget the looll of blank astonishment that came ovel his face. Thea something hit me in the lefi shoulder andl my left side went numb. It felt as if a hot poker was beinq dIriven through 'me. I felt n pain just a sort of nervous shock. A bay onet had piered me from the rear. 1 fell backward on tihe ground, but was not unconscious, because I could see dim objects moving aroundh me. Then a flash of light in front of my eyes and unconsciousness. Something had hit me on the head. I have never found out what it was. I dreamned I was being tossed about in an open boat on a heaving sea and opened my eyes. The moon was shin lng. I was on a stretcher being car ried (Iowa one of our communication trenches. At the advanced first-aid post my woundls were dressed, and thea I was put into an ambulance and sent to one of the base hospitals. The wountdis in my shouller and head were not serious andi~ in six weeks I had re joined niy company for servico in the front line. Em pey joins the "Suicide club."

At this time of the year most people sufler from a condition often called Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn out, before the day is half thru. They may have frequent headaches and sometimes "pimply" or pale skin. Bloodless people, thin, anemic pe. pie, those with pale cheeks and lips, who have a poor appetite and feel that tired, worn or feverish condition in the springtime of the year, should try the refreshing tonic powers of a good al terative and blood purifier. Such a one is extracted from Blood root, Golden Seal and Stone root, Queen's root and Oregon Grape root, made up with chemically pure glycerine and without the use of alcohol. This can be ob tained in ready-to-use tablet form in sixty-cent vials, as druggists have sold it for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is a standard remedy that can be obtained in tablet or liquid form. A good purge shtmld be taken once a week even by persons who have a movement daily, in order to eliminate matter which may remain and cause a condition of auto-intoxication, poison ing the whole system. To clean the system at least once a week is to prac tice health measures. There is nothing so good for this purpose as tiny pills made up of the May-apple, leaves of aloe and jalap, and s9ld by almost all druggists in this country as I)octor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated, easy to take.
