When we came to the first potato patch that afternoon we told our guards that we wanted to sit course of the next five minutes each of us managed to When we got back to the prison I managed to steal a handkerchieffui of sugar, which, with some apples thc.t we were allowed to purchase, ® we easily converted into a sort of jam. We now had. potatoes and jam, but no bread. It happened that the Hun who had charge of the bread was a great musician. It was not very dif ficult to prevail upon him to play us some music, and, while he went out to get his zither. I went into the bread pr/.itry and stole a loaf of bread. Most of us had saved some butter from the day before, and we used it to fry our potatoes. By bribing one of the guards we induced him to buy some eggs for us. They cost 25 cents apiece, but we were determined to make this banquet a success, no mat ter what it cost. The cooking was done by the pris- For Constipation! Physic Purge or Laxativ 9 Everyone now and then becomes constipated, and millions are chronically in that condition. The perplexing question arises—what to ue. Purgatives and cathartics are drastic and usually cause a reaction. Saline waters are rapid in action but do no more than empty the bowels. Just as certain an effect; and certainly a much more pleasant one. can be obtained by the use of a combination of simple laxative herb* with pepsin sold by druggists under the, name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It acts gently, without griping. It is an especially ideal medicine for children, women, old people and others who find purges too powerful. 9 Only a teaspoonful is required, and by morning the move ment is free and complete. A bottle in the house is insurance for the whole family against constipation, indigestion, head aches. flatulency and other digestive ills.

You never knew of Rheumatism— that most painful source of suffering —being curefl by liniments, lotions or other external applications. And you will never see anything but tem porary relief afTorded by such make shifts. But why be satisfied with tempo rary relief from the pangs of pain which are sure to return with in creased Severity, when there is per manent relief within your reach? Science has proven that Rheuma tism is a disordered condition of the blood. How then, can satisfactory results be expected from any treat- (c \ / Itis your duty not only to buy Third Liberty Loan Bonds, but to consider yourself an agent of the government to help persuade others to buy them.

When the meal was ready to serve it consisted of scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, bread and Jam and a pitcher of beer which we were allowed to buy. That was the 29th of August. Had I known that it was to be the last real meal that I was to eat for many weeks. I might have enjoyed it even more than I did, but it was certainly very good. We had cooked enough for eight, but, while we were still eating, an other joined us. He was an English officer who had Just been brought in on a stretcher. For seven days, he told us, he had lain in a shell-hole, wounded, and he was almost famish ed, and we were mighty glad to share our banquet with him. We called on each man for a speech, and one might have thought that we were at a flrst-class club meeting. A few days after that our party was broken up and some of the men, I suppose, I shall never see again. One of the souvenirs of my adven ture is a check given me during this "banquet" by Lieutenant James Hen ry Dickson, of the. Tenth Royal Irish Fusileers, a fellow prisoner. It was for twenty francs and was made pay able to the order of "Mr. Pat O'Brien, second lieutenant." s Poor Jim for got to scratch out the "London" and profession by giving to the world a pieparution ten times better than Grandmother's good old-fashioned but dirty and blistering mustard plaster.

Chest colds, stiff neck, neuritis, pleurisy, rheu matic pains and swellings all yield promptly and are speedily ended with Mustarine, the original mustard plaster substitute in the yellow box only 25 cents. —Advertisement. ment that does not reach the blod,' the. seat of the trouble, and rid the system of the cause of the disease?

There was one subject that was talked about in this prison whenever conversation lagged and it was. What were the chances of escape? Every man seemed to have a differ ent idea and one way. I suppose, was about as impracticable as another. None of us ever expected to get a chance to put our ideas into execu tion. but it was interesting specula tion, and, anyway, one can never tell what opportunities might present themselves. One suggestion was that we dis guise ourselves as women. "O'Brien would stand a better chance disguised as a horse!" declared another, refer ring to the fact that my height (I am six feet two Inches) would make me more conspicuous as a woman than as *a man. Another suggested that we steal a German Gotha—a type of aeroplane used for long-distance bombing. It is these machines which are used for I bombing London. They are manned by three men, one sitting In front with a machine gun, the pilot sitting in the rear with another machine gun. We figured that, at a pinch, perhaps, seven or eight of us could make our escape in a single machine. They have two motors of vegy high horsepower, fly very high and make wonderful speed. But we had no chance to put this idea to the test. I worked out another plan by which I thought I might have a chance if I could ever get into one of the German aerodrome?. I would conceal myself in one of the hangars, wait until one of the German ma chines started out, and, as he taxied along the ground, I would rush out, shout .at the top of my voice and point excitedly at his wheels. This, I figured, would cause the pilot to stop and get out to see what was wrong. By that time I would be up to him. and as he stooped over to inspect the machine I could knock him senseless, jump into the machine and be over the lines before the Huns could make up their minds just what had happened. It wns a fine dream, but my chance was not to come that way. There were dozens of other ways which we considered. One man would be for endeavoring to make his way right through the lines. Another thought the safest plan would be to swim some river that crossed the lines. The Idea of making one's way to Holland, a neutral country, occurred to everyone, but the one great ob stacle in that direction, we all real ized, was the great barrier of barbed and electrically-charged wire which guards every foot of the frontier be tween Belgium and Holland and which is closely watched by the Ger man sentries. This barrier was a threefold af fair. It consisted first of a barbed wire wall six feet high. Six feet be yond that was a nine-foot wall of wire powerfully charged with elec tricity. To touch it meant electrocu tion. Beyond that, at a distance of six feet, was another wall of barbed wire six feet high. Beyond the barrier lay Holland and liberty, but how to get there was a problem which none of us could solve and a few of us expected to have a chance to try. Mine came sooner than I expected. (To He Continued) Lancaster People Want Toll Roads Made Free I.a waster. Pa* April 19.—The free ing of the Lancaster and Williams town and the Lancaster and Eliza bettown turnpike by the state and county has been followed by action of individuals and organizations in all sections of the country, demand ing the freeing of other toll roads, of which Lancaster county has a very large number. The people of Columbia are par ticularly anxious to have the turn pike running from that place to Lancaster freed, as it Is a part of the Lincoln highway through this sec tion. The road in question has been slated for purchase, the money even being appropriated, but a right-of way lease to the Conestoga Traction Company is holding up the ftiatter. The Lancaster and Columbia cars are operated on this pike. It has been a profitable lease for the trolley com pany, but the fact that it calls for possession for a period of 999 years complicates the negotiations. Believing there is an unwarranted delay in the purchase negotiations, the business and motor men have adopted the following very strong resolution: "Resolved, That the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, of Co lumbia, and the Columbia Automo bile Club give their moral and finan cial aid to a proposed legal investi gation of certain peculiar phases of the above-mentioned lease, and also of the combined profits of the Cone stoga Traction Company and the Lancaster and Susquehanna Turn pike Company from the operation of the turnpike road, with reference to a recent decision of the public serv ice commission in a similar case."
