TTTE NORTTC PLATTE SBMI-WBEKLT TRIBUNE. WHO FOUND HER PHOTO? on (Cop; the for Thin Department Supplied American I.-clon Newt Service ) by 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!

"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. SKet Contents 15PluidDfaoim Children Cry For it rniini.-R PP.n 0 BUT.

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.
