CHAPTER V. (Cont.) The Prison Camp at Courtrai. Convright, 1-918, by Pat Alva O Brlen. The cou r t yai d dHpH| s oral times when' our ; airmen raided that ; section in the i watched the ma - shrapnel bursting ail around; but the Oer mans did not crowd ; out there, for their own antiaircraft guns were hammer ing away to keep our planes as high in the sky as possible, and shells were likely to fall in the prison yard any moment. Of course, I watched these battles at my own risk. Many nights from my prison window I w;itched with peculiar interest the air raids car ried on, and it was a wonderful sight with the German searchlights play ing on the sky, the "flaming onions'* fired high and the burst of the anti aircraft guns, but rather an uncom fortable sensation when I realized that perhaps the very next minute a bomb might be dropped on the build i sSrrow COLLARS FOR SP " ' '"LVDE-2Vj.'n aiuviAGH IDOUBLES ARE DUE TO AEIDITY Tells Safe, Certain. Speedy Relief For Acid Indigestion So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach ache and inability to retain food ar-j in probably nine cases out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secre tion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach *nd causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heart burn, while the acid irritates and in flames the delicate lining of the stom ach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teaspoorifu'. of bisurated magnesia, a good and effec tive corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or .old water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few mo ments and is a perfectly harmless uiul inexpensive remedy to use. An antiacld, such as bisurated mag nesia, which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form, enables the stomach to dn its work properly without the aid of artificial digestants. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated which is especially prepaied for tho above purpose. G. A. Gorgas.—Ad vertisement. IF BUCK HURir HUE SALTS 10 FLUSH KIDNEYS Says Backache is sure sign you have been eating too much meat * Uric Acid in meat clogs Kidneys end irritates the bladder Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, gel sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasion ally, else we have backache and dull misery In the Kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. Tou simply must keep your kid neys active and clean, and tho mo ment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids In the urine so it no longer irri tates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts Is harmless; inexpen sive: makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to keun their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications. A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe In overcoming kidney trouble while it Is only trouble. .... - . . : TUESDAY EVENING, HXRJRISBTTRG *&&&* TEtEGRXFH 'APRIL'I6, 1918. ing in which I was a prisoner. But perhaps all -of this was better than no excitement at all, for prison life soon became very monotonous. One of the hardest things I had to endure throughout the two weeks I spent there was the sight of the Hun machines flying over Courtrai, know ing that perhaps I never would have another chance to fly. and I used to sit by the hour watching the German machines flying over Courtrai, as they had an aerodrome not so far away and every afternoon the stu dents—or I took them for students because their flying was very poor— appeared over the town. One certain Hun seemed to find particular satisfaction in flying right down over the prison nightly, for my special discomfort and benefit it seemed, as if he knew an airman im prisoned there was vainly longing to try his wings again over their lines. But I used to console myself by saying: "Never mind, old boy, there was never a bird whose wings could not be clipped if they got him just right, and your turn will come some day." A Night Air Raid One night there was an exception ally heavy air raid going on. A num ber of German officers came into my room and they all seemed very much frightened. 1 jokingly remark ed that it would be fine if our air men hit the old prison—the percen tage would be very satisfactory—one Knglish officer and about ten German ones. They didn't seem to appreciate the joke, however, and, indeed, they were apparently too much alarmed at what was going on overhead to laugh even at their own jokes. Although these night raids seem to take all the starch out of the Ger mans while they were going on, the officers were usually as brave as lions the next day and spoke contemptu ously of the raid of the night be fore. I saw thousands of soldiers in Courtrai and although they did not impress me as having very good or abundant food, they were fairly well clothed. I do not mean to imply that conditions pointed to an early end of the war. On the contrary, from that I was able to observe on that point, unless the Iluns have fin absolute crop failure they can, in my opinion, go on for years! The ! dea of our being able to win the war by starving them out strikes me as ridi culous. This is a -war that must be won by fighting, and the sooner we realize that fact the sooner it will be over. Rising hour in the prison was 7 o'clock. Breakfast came at eight. This consisted of a cup of coffee and nothing else. If the prisoner had the foresight to save some bread from the previous day. he had bread for breakfast also, but that never hap pened in my case. Sometimes we had two cups of coffee, that is, near ly coffee. It was really chicory or some cereal preparation. We had no milk or sugar. For lunch they gave us boiled sugar beets or some other vegetables, and once in a while some kind of pickled meat, but that happened very seldom. We also received a third of o loaf of bread —war bread. This war bread was as heavy as a brick, black and sour. It was sup posed to last us from noon one day to noon the next. Except for some soup this was the whole lunch 'menu, (To Be Continued.) f MIDDLETOWN j High Scliool Students Wil!
