Local Soldier Writes of Cruelty Shown German Prisoners of War

"The great conflict ia over, it seems, but experiences are not; in fact they are still very plentiful," wrote "Toe" Ashlnger. in a letter to The Palladium. "At present I am bavins the wonderful experience of seeing and talking to some of the thousands of Russians, French, English and others who have been prisoners in Germany from four months to four years and do not now know where they belong. It Is interesting and maddening to hear these poor destitute, sunken-eyed prisoners tell of their treatment at the hands of the Germans. They are all men and real men, those who were not have not lived to tell the story. "Last night two Russian boyB who speak English spent the night In our barracks, and told us some tales. They

G. A. R. Posts Consolidated Because of Death Toll

Members of Sol Meredith post, G. A. R. whose attention was called to a Consolidation of the two posts at Lafayette because death has taken such a large toll in the last two years, said identical conditions prevailed In Wayne county several years ago when posts elsewhere in the county had to be given up because of the morturay record. The John A. Logan and March B. Taylor posts at Lafayette were consolidated into Logan-Taylor post No. 3. The total membership is 105, whereas a decade ago each post had twice as many members.

both had spent eight years in America; and neither Is over 24 years old now. They had been imprisoned in Germany for two and a half years.

It would do one's heart good to see some of these boys eat, for they have some appetites and when they see

food set before them by the always

generous Americans their eyes fairly

pop.

"I had the extremely good fortune

of being at the front with some dis

patches the day the armistice was signed. Was on the Verdun front and wouldn't have missed it for anything. I came across a division camped along the roadside. They had been ordered to fall into the front about 4 o'clock that afternoon and when the word came back that they were not going in you could not possibly imagine such a happy bunch. It was hard to realize that it was all over; it was even hard several days later." Ashlnger is a courier with the M. T. S. D., R. A. R.

PERFECT HEALTH IS YOURS IF THE BLOOD IS KEPT PURE

Almost Every , Human Ailment Is Traceable to Impurities In the Blood. Tou can not overestimate the importance of keeping the blood free of impurities When you realise that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to all parts of the body, you can easily see that any impurity in the blood will cause serious complications. Any Blight disorder or Impurity that creeps into the blood is a source of danger, for every vital organ of the body depends upon the blood supply to properly perform its functions. Many painful and dangerous diseases are the direct result of a bad condition of the blood. Among ths most serious are Rheumatism, with

its torturing pains;" Catarrh, often a forerunner of dread consumption; Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter. Erysipelas and other disfiguring skin diseases; Maleria. which makes the strongest men helpless, and many other diseases are the direct result of impure blood. You can easily avoid all of these diseases, and rid the system of them, by the use of S. S. S., that wonderful blood remedy that has been in constant use for more than fifty years. S. S. 8. cleanses the blood thoroughly, and routs every vestige of impurity. It is sold by druggists everywhere. - For valuable literature and medical advice absolutely free, write today to the Medical Dept., Swift Specific Company. 437 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Oa. Adv.
