How to Avoid Them and the Se

<
“Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor,” remarked a sallow- :
faced, sickly looking man, entering a j
S prominent physician’s office the other
I day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine j
i case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
j a preparation which he handed to the j
! patient with the customary advice to
| ‘shake well and follow directions,’ and ^
| resumed his seat.
“Such cases are frenuent.” renlied the !
doctor in answer to a question. “The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
J which follow it is to get into good condi- j
| tion by taking a reliable remedy that j
will keep the bowels clear and the liver i
J healthy, and to continue with it at fre- j
quent intervals during the sickly season. !
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or 1
four times a week will do all of this, be
i sides stimulating the digestion, improv
| ing the appetite and keeping the bodily i
1 energy at tlie highest pitch. t j
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every- j
where as a system tonic and bowel regu- !
; Iator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
“Prickly A^h Bitters is the best all-around |
medicine for the family I ever used. During the
p i .t ten years I have always kept itin my house. I
Whenever any of my family show signs of mala
>ia, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation
a few doses is all that is needed to make then
well and hearty agaiu.—W. H. McWilliam" I

The Work of The Priest.
On the battlefield of Soissons,
Oct. 2.— (By Mail to New York.)
—I wish I could show you the
little grey-haired priest of this
village near Soissons as he goes
about his duties these days.
There’s the peace of a certain
Warless Land that he knows a
bout on his face and he reads
his service over a dead German
with the same tender tones and
the same smile of hope that he
has for the dead soldier who
si .eps in the red, white and blue
of France.
I first saw him as he passed
through the village square in
his robes that had once been
white. His surplice was slash
ed wfith the mud of hundreds of
automobiles w'hich dash through
the narrow, wet streets. On his
feet were army shoe®, as muddy
as any soldier’s- But he raised
hi.s face as he chanted the serv
ice from a book in his hands,
and when • saw his smile, I for
got the grime. Behind him
marched four men, guarded by
soldiers. Even before I knew
wrho or what they wrere I saw
that there was something es
pecially evil and gruesome about
them. A French officer explain
ed the procession to me.
"These men are Germans wffio
were caught wearing civilians'
clothes. Maybe they wrere spies;
who know's ? But they are worse
than spies. They were caught
vn’.' a a- ^ * -w * » 1
dead out there on the battlefield,
They are being taken out now tc
be shot.”
It was a thing to shudder over
but the little clergyman march
ed on with the look of hope or
his face as if he knew Someone
Who Understood and even con
trolled all this madness and e
vil into which humanity has
fallen, Someone who knows the
weakness of humanity so wel
that He might have pity on j
man who had robbed the dead.
The next time I saw the little
clergyman was at the entrance
to the Red Cross hospital. Three
caskets stood in the high hall
way which opened onto the
street. A line of French sol
diers stood at attention, facinj
the doorway. A Red Cross am
bulance drew up and the soldi
ers broke their rigid formatioi
to make way for five woundec
soldiers who were carried pas!
the coffins where three dead sol
diers rested.
The soldiers reformed again
There was evidently a hitch ii
the proceedings. The churcl
was across the street and, bj
the glances of the officers to
wards the church door, I coulc
see they were waiting for the
clergyman. Then I saw hin
come to the door.
Five women and two little
girls, all in black, were followinj
him, persistently, and speaking
to him. He stopped and spoke
a moment with each woman
They knelt, one at a time, or
the sidewalk, as he raised his
hand in blessing, over eacl
mourning-bedecked head. He
held his hands on the heads ol
tne luue giris ana raiseu nn
face upwards as if he wrere tell
ing Someone to take special no
tice of two little folks who need
ed extra care.
All this time the soldiers were
waiting. The priest walked a
cross the street, through the
mud, his soldiers’ shoes spatter
ing the dirt onto his surplice
the officers saluted, the soldiers
raised the caskets, the little
priest led off through the slust
and the three dead soldiers of
France were started on theii
last march.
I’ve seen the little priest £
score of times since then. He
marches more than any soldier
There are scores of dead to bury
there are dozens of stories anc
confessions to hear from dying
men in the hospitals; there are
the broken-hearted women and
children of the village who have
lost their soldier loved ones tc
be comforted, and his task was
so great that it seemed to me
that if I were the little priesl
and saw so much of such terrible
sorrow in a world gone so fai
awry I would take off my white
robe and fold it away and say
“God has forgotten us. What’s
the use?’’
Only I know by the little
clergyman’s face that He knows
that God has not forgotten u:
even though the cannons of mei
who are hungry to kill ar<
souding above the chant of the
funeral services and evei
though each crash means more
broken hearts and more dead t
bury.
A Lucky British Soldier.
London, Oct. 1. (By Mail to
New York.)—Lieutenant A. C.
Johnston, well known as Hants
county cricketer, is beginning to
believe that he bears a charmed
life. He has been sent home
wounded from the front but he
said he considers himself lucky
to be even alive. He had many
narrow escapes from death,
i The day before he was wound
ed the nose of a shell hit a wall
six inches over his head. Short
ly after a bullet hit the ground
a half yard ahead of him. glanc
ed up and hit him on the body,
only bruising him. Then a bul
let hit him over the heart but it
was “spent” and he picked it
out of his breast pocket and sent
it to is wife as a souvenir. His
final escape came while he was
sitting on the steps of a house.
Half the building was blown up
and he was not even touched,
