THE MAN WITH DOUBLE BRAIN
Hayward Thompson, Memory Shocked
During World War, Writes
With Both Hands.
The majority of us do well to write
legibly with either of our hnnils, but
when a mnn is
round who enn
write with both
hands simultnne.
ousiy, nnu nioro
than that when
he can write for
ward with one
hand and back
ward with the
other, it Is evi
dent that he has
a perfect right to
the title of "Mys
tery Man." Hay
wurd Thompson, an ex-service mun
in Denver, Colo., Is Just such a man.
Due to a severe injury to his head,
received during the war, he has what
is known as a "double brain." One
side of this brain directs the writing
of one hand while the other side gov
erns the other hand.
Thompson's memory reaches back
only to the time when he left a hos
pital some months ago. He remem
bers nothing of his life before that
time. It was through the veterans'
bureau that he established his Iden
tity as Hayward Thompson. Of his
family, former friends, his work and
home before the war and his activ
ities during the war, he has been able
to learn nothing. The veterans' bu
reau und the Colorado department of
the American Legion have been mak
ing every effort to help Thompson
learn of his past.
THE REAL UNKNOWN SOLDIER
PIcturo of Indiana Beauty. Lost
Battle Fields, Badly Wanted
by the Owner.
"What member of the army, navy or
the dusty engineers, or the quarter
master corps, ma
rine corps, tank
corps, medics or
balloon corps,
etc., etc., who
served overseas
during the World
war ever found a
photograph simi
lar to the one re
produced licre? If
that member of
tho etc., etc., will
surrender if to its
owner, who prizes
It most highly for sentimental reasons,
naturally, two hearts will beat violent
ly ns one.
The photograph is that of Miss Har
riet Fllnn of Indiana. It was carried
next his heart by her soldier sweet
heart, and In the well-known tumult
and confusion of a battle around
Chateau Thierry, or at St. Mlhlel, or
In the Argonne. or while his baggage
was being very considerately cared
for some place far back of tho lines,
the photograph was lost. Men who
went through the same mill will know
that neglect didn't lose the photo, but,
aB some one lAta so well said, but few
girls got into those battles.
Tho photograph shown hero was
made from tho same plate as the bat
tle-scarred one that is being sought.
The gentleman who found it, If any,
moy communicate with the Leglou's
headquarters at Indianapolis, Ind.
Child of Streets, Picked Up by Kind-
hearted Brothers, Never Knew
; Who He Was.
Tragic though the story is of a sol
dier whose identity was lost after his
life had gone out on the field of battle
and whose cross in Flanders simply
says, "Unknown Soldier," his story Is
not shot through with such pathetic
glory as Is tho story of u lad who
never knew who he was and who gave
his life for a country In which he had
never known a mother's love or a
father's pride. Every mother who
does not know Just where her son Is
burled, weeps over the grave of the
unknown soldier, thinking that per
haps he is her son. Over the grave of
the boy who has always neen un
known there are no mourners.
A tiny bundle of humanity was
picked up in a Baltimore street some
twenty years ago; It was a baby boy.
When after a thorough search, no one
was found who would claim him. he
was taken to, be reared by two broth
ers, who gave him the name of Ed
ward John Evangelist Smith. When
ho was old enough, they sent him
to Mount Saint Mary's school to bo
educated. In 1017, before the boy's
education was finished, n Marine re
cruiting officer visited Mount Saint
Mary's. Ills story of the country's
need for men caused "Smith," as he
had come to be known, to enlist, ne
went overseas and took part In every
engagement In which the Fifth regi
ment of marines participated. On the
morning on which the armistice was
signed, one of the last German bullets
living claimed "Smithy" as Its victim.
Wells Ilawkes, "Smithy's" captain,
lias started a fund to erect a monu
ment to "Smithy"; a child of the
street, an unknown lad in school, the
real unknown soldier!
EIGHTEEN HOURS IN WATER
Philip Burger, Legion Man of Troy,
Wears Decoration From Portu
guese Government.
Spending eighteen hours holding to
the edge of a life raft in icy Water
after saving a
shipmate's life,
made Philip J.
Burger eligible
for the unusual
honor of a dec
oration from the
Portuguese gov
ernment and the
American uib
tlnguished Serv
ice medal. Burger
was a second
class gunner's
mate on the
American, destroyer Jacob Jones, when
she was torpedoed by a German sub
marine off Lands End, England, In De
cember, 1017. Burger and the shipmate
whose llfo he saved were among the
few survivors picked up by a British
warship after eighteen hours In the
water.
He is now receiving vocational
training in his home city, Troy, N. Y.,
and is a mainstay in the Noble Calla
han post of the American Legion at

NO JOB, GIVES HIS BLOOD
Former Service Man of Omaha Aids
jSufferer and His Own Family
at Same Time.
The heroic spirit of man has not
nlways been born under the shadow
of awe-inspiring
mountains, oil
t h e rock-bound
coast of the sea
or In the busy,
crowded ways of
a great city. Fred
W. Smith of
Omaha has never
lived in the pres
ence of those
magnificent and
noble works of
God or mun. In
fact, his duys
huve been spent on un unromantic
Nebraska farm, in an Omaha packing
plunt and In the kitchen or a oase
hospital in France.
But these things have not kept mm
from being the true hero. Not long
ago, when a man was dying in nn
Omaha hospital, and the doctors be
lieved that a pint of human blood
might save his life, Fred Smith went
Immediately to the hospital and of
fered to let as much blood as was
needed be taken from his body. "I
was strong and a little blood didn't
mean much to me if It would save the
other fellow's life," he said.
His act gained all tho more com
mendation because ho had a wife and
two small children to support aim
was out of a Job.

The Young Mother
THE ILLS OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN should bo so well known to tho
youngest of mothers that a reminder or a repetition of tho symptoms of illness
seems unnecessary, yot there aro some mothers who overlook a feverish condition,
a little colic, or a disposition to be irritable. If not corrected they may lead to
serious sickness. And to correct them, to bring Baby back to its happv self, is
so easy by the use of Oastoria a medioiuo prepared just for infants and "children.
It will regulate the bowels (not force them), aid digestion and so bring quiet and rest.
Fletcher's Oastoria has been doing this for ovqr 30 years; regulating tho
stomaoh and bowols of infants and children, It has replaced the nauseating Castor
Oil, so-called Soothing Syrups, poisonous Paregoric and other vicious concoctions
in the homes of true and honest mothers mothers who lovo their children.
Those mothers will give their babies foods and medicines especially prepared
for infants and children.

A Word About Truth.
"Great is Truth, and mighty above all things." So says tho Old
Testament, yet It Is equally truo to-day. Truth 6hows no favors,
fears no enemies.
From tho Inception of Fletcher's Castoria, Truth has been ths
watchword, and to the conscientious adherence to this motto in tho
preparation of Fletcher's Castoria as well as in its advertising is duo
tho secret of its popular demand.
All imitations, all substitutes, aU just-as-good preparations lack
the element of Truth, lack the righteousness of being, lack all sem
blance even in the words of those who would deceive.
And you! Mothers, mothers with the fate of the World in your
handB, can you be deceived? Certainly not
Fletcher's Castoria is prepared for Infants and Children. It is
distinctly a remedy for the little-ones. Tho BABY'S need for a med
icine to take the place of Castor Oil, Paregoric and Soothing Syrups
wbb the sole thought that led to its discovery. Never try to correct
BABY'S troubles with a medicine that you would use for yourself.
