Brady, Cape Vincent, who recently returned from over- seas and again taken up his insur- ance work at Watertown, N.Y, thinks he has had about as hard luck as any man in tne«service. He was gone tén months, was wound ed twice inside of three minutes and never saw a Wun. He was re- turned later to United States as a casual, without firing his rifle once at a German. Brady had a lot of trouble get- ting into .the service and first tried the marines. He was rejected there because of poor evesight. He then tried the army and was 'urned down because of weight, A rejec- tion from <he navy came next and he felt that his chances to get over- seas were doubtful. He had regis- tered in the draft and took the physical examinations and was plac ed in limited service on account of weight. An appeal Was taken by him and he obtained a reversal, be- ing classified for gemeral service. Shortly after this occurred, a con- tingent prepared to go to Camp Dix. Brady was not in the contingent but he fowsd a chance to substitute for 4 young man who Was at the head of albusiness here, the owner being fll. The local draft board assented to the plan of substitution, and Brady went to Camp Dix. He watched- his chances and seen ob- tained a transfer to an overseas contingent. After a short. period of drilling Brady was moved to Grand Pre and found that the fighting there was all over. He was made a squad leader and was moved to the Ar- gonne sector. One day he started out on a scouting trip and was shot twice by a German sniper whom he never saw, one bullet lodging in his right elbow and the other in his left leg. He got back to camp and was sent to a hospital. Later he was returned to the United States as a casual. Mr. Brady is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brady, Cape Vincent, his father being con- nected with the customs office. N.Y.

EVEN CROSS, SICK CHILDREN LOVE " SYRUP OF FIGS If Feverish, Bilious, Constipated, Give Fruit Laxative at Once. Don't scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with sour waste. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, i} doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomachache, indigestion, diarr- hoes, give a teaspoonful of "'Califor- nia Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the foul waste, the sour bile and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have a well and playful child again. Children love this harmless "fruit laxative," and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because it never fails to make their tittle "iusides' clean and sweet. Keep it handy, Mother! A little given to-day saves a sick child to- morrow, but get the genuine.
