Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives
People who suffer from sour stom
ach, fermentation of food, distress
after eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di
gesters. are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injur
ing beyond repair every nerve in his
body.
What the stomach of evesrv sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre
scription that will build up his stom
ach. put strength, energy and elas
ticity into it. and make it sturdy
enough to digest a hearty meal with
out artificial aid.
The beet prescription for Indiges
tion ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by H. C. Kennedy and
is rigidly guaranteed to build up the :
stomach' and cure indigestion or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na.
and is sold in small tablet form in
iarge boxes, for only a few cents. Re
member the name. Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. They never fail.—Advertise

Might Restore Belgium
Without Indemnities
Copenhagen. Sept. 13.—That Ger
many might restore Belgium without
conditions or indemnities in case no
other country would be better situ
ated as regards Belgium than Ger-,
many. was the belief expressed yes
terday by Friedrieh von Payer, the
Imperial Vice-Chancellor of Ger
many, in a speech delivered at Stutt
gart.
Herr von Payer was speaking on
the depression felt in Germany and
allied countries which he attributed
not to recent military events, but to
the prospect of a fifth war winter.
"If we could be sure that no other
country would be better situated as
regards Belgium than ourselves,"
said Herr von Payer, "I believe I
could venture to say that Belgium
could be restored without conditions
and without indemnities."
With regard to the appearance of
the American troops in the war, the
Vice Chancellor said: ,
Nobody will deny that the co
operation of the American troops on
the front means a heavy and ever
increasing burden for' us. Our ene

The postponement of peace pros

SOLDIERS BRAVE
IN BATTLE LINE
Sergeant Gilliam Casts Off Gas Mask to Save Wounded
Comrades in No- Man's Land; Was Gettysburg Col
lege Student; State Boys Capture Machine Guns
Philadelphia, Seept. 13.—When
Sergeant Lester S. Gilham, of Schuyl
kill Haven, heard the cries of wound
ed comrades out in No Man's Land,
he left a sheltered rrench to rescue
them.
His gas mask interfered with his
efforts to help the wounded boys, so
he took it off. He brought the wound
ed safely back to the lines, but Ser
geant Gilham was gassed.
This is one of many thrilling stores
of action concerning Pennsylvania
beys affiliated with ambulance units
and medical detachments which are
reaching their homes here, through
lette It from their comrades. Iron Di
vision heroes are loud in their praise
of their medical men.
Sergeant Gilham. a former Gettys-j
burg College student, writes of hisi
experience as follows:
tW'e were out in a wood and the'
Germans started to bombard us at j
dawn. They caught some of the boys
and I heard their cries. It was hard
to get out or my dugout, but I just
sent up a silent prayer and crawled
out
"Sheils burst all around another
lad and me. Wo could not work and
do the wounded boys much good
with our gas masks on. so we pulled
them off and we got gassed.
"The kaiser's manpower is giving
out. I know this to be true, for I
dressed the wounds of a lad of 18
and saw a prisoner 56 years old. Our
boys captured a German priest and
several solders. The first thing they
did was feed them. In good Kn.\lish,
the priest, holding a piece of Ameri
can bread in one hand and a cup of
coffee in the other, said:
" 'Gentlemen. I hope my eyes do
not deceive me. This is the first piece
of white bread I have seen in three
fears and the first coffee in two
years.' He ate the bread like cake
and sipped the coffee like a French
man does,his wine. When told he had
to return becasue of being a noncbrn
batant. he was very sorry and bpgged
to be left on this side."
How Pennsylvania boys captured
German machine guns and turned
them on the enemy, is described in
