THE MAN WITH DOUBLE BRAIN VKilKKVW Hayward Thompson, Memory Shocked Durlno World War, Writes I i With Doth Hands. Tho mnjorlty of us do well to write legibly with cither of our hands, but when n man Is found who can write with both hnmls simultane ously, and moro than that when he can write for ward with ono 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- ward Thompson, nn ex-service man In Denver, Colo., Is just such a man. Due to a severe Injury to his head, received during the war, lie 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 ns Hayward Thompson. Of his family, former friends, his work and homo before the war and his activ ities during the war, he has been, nblo to learn nothing. The veterans' bu reau and the Colorado department of the American Legion have been mak ing every effort to help Thompson learn of his past. WHO FOUND HER PHOTO? THE REAL UNKNOWN SOLDIER Child of Streets, vPicked Up by Kind hearted Brothers, Never Knew $ Who He Was. Tragic though the story Is of a sol dier whoso identity was lost after his life had gone out on the field of battle und whose cross In Flanders simply says, "Unknown Soldier," his story Is not shot through with such pathetic glory as Is tho story of n hid who never know who he was and who gave his life for a country In which ho had never known a mother's love or n 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 ho Is her son. Over the grave of tho boy who has always been un known there are no mourners. A tlay bundle of humanity was picked up In n Baltimore street some twenty years ago; it was a baby boy. "When nfter a thorough search, no ono was found who would claim him, ho was tnken to be reared by two broth ers, who gave him tho name of Ed ward John Evangelist Smith. When he was old enough, they sent him to Mount Saint Mary's school to be educated. In 1017, before the boy's education was finished, a Marino re cruiting officer visited Mount Saint Mary's. His story of the country's need for men caused "Smith," us he had come to bo known, to enlist. Ho went overseas and took part In every engagement In which the Fifth regi ment of mnrlnes participated. On the morning on which tho armistice was signed, one of the last German bullets flying claimed "Smithy" as Its victim. Wells Hawkes, "Smithy's" captain, has started n fund to erect q monu ment to "Smithy"; a child of the street, an unknown lad In school, tho real unknown soldier l WOUNDED ON ARMISTICE DAY Buckeye Naval Officer Holds Distinc tion of Beinn Injured In Action After Close of War. O. 0. Kolf of Toledo, O., holds the unique distinction of being a United States naval offi cer wounded in action after the signing of the armistice which closed tho World wor. As a naval lieutenant and ex ecutlvo officer of n merchant ship, Itolf was severe ly wounded when Ids ship was fired on by a German bubmarlne ns it left Lu Tolls, France, on the afternoon of November 11, 1018. After several months in hospitals In Englond and on tho continent, Itolf re turned to America and resumed the practice of law In Toledo. Soldiers Classed With Idiots. Soldiers and sailors, along with felons, Idiots and Insane people are denied the right of suffrage In certain states of the Union, it is pointed out by a writer In tho American Legion Weekly. Ho quotes from tho World Almatinc, which bays that because- of their occupation, soldiers und sailors are not allowed to vote In Uio follow ing states: Indiana, Missouri, No braska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and West Virginia. Picturo of Indiana Beauty, Lost on Battle Fields, Badly Wanted by the Owner. What member of tho nrmy, navy or tho 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 here? If thnt member of the etc., etc., will surrender it to Its owner, who prized It most highly for sentimental reasons, naturally, two hearts will beat violent ly as one. The photograph is that of Miss Har riet Fllnn of Indiana. It was carried next ills heart by her soldier sweet heart, and In the well-known tumult and confusion of a battle around Chateau Thierry, or at St. Mlhlcl, or In the Argonne. or while his baggage was bring very considerately cared for some place for back of the lines, the photograph was lost. Men who went through the same mill will know that neglect didn't lose the photo, hut, as some one has so well said, but few girls got Into those battles. Tho photograph shown here was made from the same plate as the battle-scarred one that Is being sought. The gentleman who found It, If any, may communicate with the Legion's headquarters at Indianapolis, Ind.

WO JOB, GIVES HIS BLOOD Former Service Man of Omaha Aids Sufferer and His Own Family at Same Time. Tho heroic spirit of man has not always been born under the shadow of nwe-ln3plrlng mountains, o n tho rock-bound, coast of tho sea or In the busy, crowded ways of n great city. Fred W. Smith o 1 Omaha has never lived In the pros enco of those magnificent a n d noble works of God or man. In fact, his days have been spent on nn unromantlc Nebraska farm, In an Omaha packing plant and In the kitchen of a base hospital In France. But these things have not kept him from being the true hero. Not long ago, when n man was dying In an Omaha hospital, and the doctors be lieved that a pint of human blood might save his life, Fred Smith went Immediately to tho hospital and of fered to let as much blood as was needed be taken from his body. "I was stropg nnd n little blood didn't mean much to me If It would save tho other fellow's life," ho said. His act gained all tho moro com mendation because he hud n wife and two small children to support and was out of a job. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SradaySchool T Lesson T (By H1CV. P. B.

PRIMARY TOPIC-nnnlcl Tells tho KIiik of His Wrong-Doing. JUNIOR TOPIC-llclahazznr's Feast and Frtto. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Judgment Against King Alcohol. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -How to Enforco Uio Judgment Against Strong Drink. I. Belshazzar's Impious Feast (vv. 1-1). 1. Who attended (vv. 1, 2). Bel shazzar, his wife and concubines and a thousand of his lords. 2. Behavior thereat (vv. 3, 4). (1) They drank wine; they engaged In revelry. (2) They committed sac rilege. In their drunken revelry they drank wine out of the sacred vessels which had been taken out of the temple, of the house of God, which was at Jerusalem. When men are un der the Influence of Intoxicating liquors they lose nil regard for sacred things. (3) They worshiped Idols. They prayed to gods of gold and of sil ver, of brass, of Iron, wood nnd slone. II. The Handwrltlnfl on the Wall (vv. MO). 1. The time of (v. fi). It occurred In the same hour In which they were engaged In their drunken revelry. 2. Tho effect upon the king (v. 0). He was greatly disturbed; he was seized with consternation. "The Joints of his loins were loosed, and his kue?s gniote one against another." 3. The king's behavior (vv. 7-10). (1) He called forth astrologers and soothsayers, offering rewards of gold and position (v. 7-0). Their utter In ability to Interpret the writing left the king even worse perplexed. (2) Daniel brought nt the suggestion of the queen (vv. 10-10). The queen here was perhaps the wife of .Nebu chadnezzar who remembered Daniel's Bervlce in Interpreting his dream. For that reason he was sent for nnd prom ised great reward. III. Daniel Interprets the Writing (vv. 17-28). 1. Daniel's address to tho king (vv. 17-24). He brushes aside his prom ised gifts (v. 17). He would not have Ills speech limited by the king's glftH. 2. The Interpretation of the writing (vv. 2.1-2S). (1) "Mene" means "num bered" (v. 20). "God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished It." (2) "Te kel" means "weighed" (v. 27). "Thou art weighed In the balances, nnd art found wanting." (3) "Peres" means "divided" (v. 28). "Thy kingdom Is divided, and given to the Mcdes and Persians." IV. The Judgment Executed (vv. 20-31). In that night was Belshazzar slain and Darius the Medenn took the king dom. The Chaldean dvnastv ended with belshazzar. So we may Interpret this wholo scene, as pointing to the con ditions at the close of the times of the Gentiles nnd as adumbrating the prevailing conditions. Let us note: 1. The stupidity of men. They, like people today, would not learn by ex ample. Nebuchadnezzar's futo should have deterred Belshazzar from such frivolity. 2. The magnificent splendor. This great feast was characterized by pomp, display, parade. How charac teristic of this age! 3. Luxury. The famous hanging gardens of Babylon were a notewor thy example. Signs of luxury today ure on every hand. 4. Licentiousness. The king with his wives und concubines. This is noto riously prevalent today. G. Blasphemous sacrilege. And may not the sacrilege of today bo In ex cess of theirs, cxpcsslng itself In (1) n profession of religion for pecuniary gain, social and political preferment; (2) use of the pulpit and of the min istry for display und notoriety1, even for the propagation of false doctrine; (3) uniting with the church, attend ing the communion, so as to cover up becret sins; (4) the use of tho Word of God to give point to n Joke; (f) de nying that the Bible is God's Word, making It a book of errors, myths and legends; (0) sneering at the Virgin birth, repudiating Christ's deity nnd setting aside Ills vicarious atonement. 0.

Mrs. Jameson, 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 seoms unnecessary, yet there aro somo mothers who overlook a fovorish condition, a little colio, or a disposition to bo irritable If not corrected thoy may lead to serious sicknoss. And to correct them, to bring Baby back to its happy self, is so easy by ho use of Oastoria a modioino propared just for infants and children. It will regulato tho bowels (not forco them), aid digestion and so bring quiet and rest Fletcher's Oastoria has been doing this for ovor 30 years; regulating tho stomach and bowels of infants and ohildren. It has replacod tho nauseating Castor Oil, so-called Soothing Syrups, poisonous Paregoric and other vicious concoctions in tho homes of true ana honest mothers mothors who love their children. Those mothors will give their babies foods and medicines especially propared for infants and children. Jt-fKfflEWiT "& Children Cry For fact Contents 15Pluid Pfaoli ESM Irrniinl.-'IPRB OBNT.

A Word About Truth. "Great Is Truth, and mighty above nU thingn." So Bays the Old' Testament, yet it is equally truo to-day. Truth shows no favors,, fears no enemies. From tho inception of Fletcher's Castorin, Truth has been the watchword, and to the conscientious adherence to this motto in th preparation of Fletcher's Castorin as weU as in its advertising Is duo, tho secret of its popular demand. All imitations, all substitutes, all just-as-good preparations lack the element of Truth, lack tho righteousness of being, lack all sem blance even in the words of those who would deceive. And you I Mothers, mothers with the fato of the World in your hands, can you bo deceived? Certainly not. Fletcher's Castorla is prepared for Infants and Children. It la distinctly a remedy for the little-ones. Tho BABY'S need for a med icine to tako tho place of Castor Oil, Paregoric and Soothing Syrups was the sole thought that led to its discovery. Never try to correct BABY'S troubles with a medicine that you would use for yourself.
