The odds are in
favor of the

What is needed most is an increase in
the germ-fighting strength. To do this
successfully you need to put on healthy

so it will throw off these germs, and pir
rify the blood so that there will be no
" weak spots," or soil for germ-growth.

It cures troubles caused by torpid liver

"GINGER"
OF SCOTTS
Gunner Holds Up Eenemy
Battle Told by Men of the
Taking Part in it.
Royal Scotse. He had. been fighting
and marching and starving by turns
for five days and five nights, yet his
spirit was good in spite of his three
wounds.
It was , just a wee bit exciting,
Miss, he said to me, and wi' a wheen
mair men the Germans might have
made 'it hot for us when ey drove
against our line. Where we were
they attacked with between four and
thousand men. Three companies
'of our regiment were in the line. One
was in reserve behind, and was
thrown back with other troops when
the Germans attacked our flank and
rear. .
The three companies had to bear
the brunt of the fighting for as many
days. In that time we had thousands
of the enemy thrown against ;otrr lme,
but for two whole days we never
budged by as much as an inch. They
attacked us with the fury of wild
beasts, and their generals didn't
care a button what losses the me:i
tndured. V '
One whole battalion was wiped out
in front of our position, dead be'ng
piled on dead until there rose in front
a great' wall of corpses, behind which
the surviving infantry were shelter
ing until they were assailed flank and
rear by our machine gunners and
wiped out. '
I am certain that not a man of that
battalion escaped death or wounds
and other battalions also suffered se
verely. We could have held on indefinitely,
but with our line being forced back
to right and left and- our rear being
menaced it became necessary to
"withdraw. That we did on the third
day, but we did it at bur leisure.
Every time Fritz tried to. hurry us he
found that Scots are not hurried on
a job like this.
You know the story of little "Gin
ger" Shields, the "baby" machine
! gunner of our lot.
In the retirement
he got over-looked. "Ginger" was
too good a soldier to go back without
orders, so he just took it into his head
that it was the colonel's wish he
should remain at his post to give the
enemy a lively time when they came
to occupy the position we had left.
At last the Huns came rushing for
ward, "Ginger" . lay low until they
were in front of him, offering a nlc
target, and there was never a better

ms "King ne just got going with bis
two thumbs, and after that it wasn't
exactly thumbs up for the Germans.
They went reeling back faster than
they cam and little Shieds had the
time of his life blazing away at them.
He kept it up for nearly three hours,
and then his ammunition ran out.
By that time his comrades were far
away and there was little chance of
escape, for the enemy were swarm
ing forward in the rear, to the right
and left, and from everywhere.
Shield fired his last rounds into the
enemy in front, then smashed his
gun and flung it at the heads of a
bunch of Germans coming along the
communication trench. They replied
with round after round oS machine
gun fire, and poor little "Ginger"
went down.
He wasn't done with yet, however.
He still had a rifle and was able to
use it. He lay on the ground and
fired it into the Huns. Some of them
appeared on the parapet. They must
have seen that it was a case of one
wounded man against thousands oi
the kaiser's best troops, but there
were no bowels of compassion. in the
swine. They sent a stream of HquH
fire into the trench where the lad
lay. There was no escape from it.
He got it full over him, and it must
J have been agony to him, but he never
flinched. He struggled to his feet
and bayoneted the first German who
came near enough.
Then he stood up and shouted de
fiance at the rest. They. fired volley
after volley at him, and he dropped
without a word.
There was one white German who
buried the lad as he deserved to be
buried, and told us the story of his
death when we capture him next day

commissioned officer of the Argyles.
who was wounded in the second day's
fighting in that region.
Guns began to thunder in the early
morning, he explained, and the
ground in which we were entrenched
appeared to be shaking and swaying
like a great liner in a rough sea. At
times it was almost impossible to
keep upright in the dugouts so great
was the concussion of the thundering
shells. Nearly two days the bom
bardment lasted:
Then came the attack, v7id it also
was in keeping with the grand
scale of the bombardment, for the
enemy seemed to have more men
than they knew what to do with.
They pushed on in droves up against
our line, and we gave them hell many
times over.
They were shot down by the hun
dred. I stood for hours watching a
certain point m front of our line
against which our machine gun fire
was directed. All the time German
Infantry were being marched up to
that point. Not a single one passed
it, and their losses must have been
terrible, for our fire was terribly ac
curate. Towards night the Huns succeeded
in entering a section of trench next
to us, where a welsh battalion had
Deen forced out. We got orders to
counter-attack at 11 o'clock, and this

I do not think, said an officer or tne.

that any battle or series of battles
has. produced such a fine series of
acts of indlvtduaL heroism as wis
one. . ? . . . . :

n the- course of the fight one of
them, named M'Ewan, was oaaiy
wounded, just as they had made up
their minds to make a run for safe
ty. He insisted that his companion
Should go without .him, but Patterson
would have nothing to do with such
advice. He declared that whatever
fte befell his comrade he would
share, and before dawn the two sot
cut on their weary trudge to tne
British-lines, after four days ot fight
lng and marching.
It was a hopeless task, for M'iswan
was badly hit and had to be carried
most of the way, hut Patterson re
peatedly refused to desert his com
rade.
Morning; found them still several
miles behind our withdrawing lines,
and the ground over which they had
to trudge was being swept by shell
ftre from both sides, in addition to
the rifle fire , of the snipers.
The two men who had been with
out f ood for nearly three days, ex
cept for two biscuits, were forced to
shelter in a shell hole once more, but
it was only shelter In name, for
shells were bursting over it, and
burst in the hole itself.
Despite the danger to himself Pat
terson crawled out across the shell-
swept ground to see if he could ob
tain rations from the haversacks of
some of our dead lying in the neigh
borhood. In doing o he wasywound-
ed hy a shell splinter, but managed
to crawl back to the place where he
had left his, comrade with water and
food. v
When night fell the two men made
another attempt to reach our lines,
and after great suffering they suc
ceeded in doing so. The last stage
of their trudge took place under
heavy rifle fire from snipers, who
could make' out the two Slowly mov
ing figures in the grey dawn, and
both men were hit again. Neverthe
less they got into our lines, and are
low in hospital.
That the enemy were not able to
make in the Albert region as much
headway as they had counted on was
due to the fact that a sergeant of the
Gordons carried from Mametz village
to Albert at the risk of his lif3 a
message that enabled our troops to
stem the enemy advance at that
point.
Almost all the way this brave man
was under fire, and part of the way
being wounded in the right leg. He
went on in spite of the pain from his
wound, and delivered his message.
While he was taking it a battalion
of the Gordons were holding at bay
enemy forces five times stronger, and
when the Gordons were finally forced
to fall back through Mametz village

the message taken by the sergeant
at the risk of his life had been car

That v .same battalion of Gordons

sitions menacing our line of retreat
