QUICK ACTION

is the KEYNOTE of

ASPRO

WHEN Headaches

numerous conditions of ill-bealth appear you want RELIEF, and Quick Relief, to get back to normal. This is where the use of 'ASPRO' is so valuable. It acts quickly and safely. Quickly because you get rapid relief--Safely because it is pure and conforms to the standards laid down by the British Pharmacopoeia, the guiding authority of the Medical Profession. Furthermore, 'ASPRO' 'relieves the numerous com- plaints listed below, because, after ingestion in the system, it is a powerful germicide, and is anti-pyretic-anti-periodje and anti- fermentative. Always keep ‘ASPRO' in the Home ready for

emergency. 'ASPRO' DOES NOT HARM THE HEART. ".

HOW CHINESE GUERILLAS DERAIL JAPANESE TRAINS

The tearing up of steci tracks to derail Japanese military tralas has become a great pastime with Chinese guerillas behind the enemy lines in the North China province of Hopel. Their labours have been so well rewarded with food, uniforma, money, and most important of all, arms they now consider railroad ralds one of their chief sources of supply.

The Chinese guerillas seldom tear

up railway tracks for nothing. Through an intricate system of spies, they are noti- fed of Japanese "military movements hours in advance. Usually they can lurk near the scene until shortly before daybreak when it is necessary for them to return to their own territory beyond Japanese reach,

PRIZED SEIZURES Numerous times in the past months, the Chinese guerillas have not waited in vain. Enemy troop trains loaded with supplies skid- ded and tumbled over long gaps where rafls had been tom up. Any Japanese guards who survived the "accident" were mowed down by the guerillas, who then proceeded to ransack the crusted and twisted coaches for anything useful. The most prized seizures have always been arms and food supplies, par- ticularly the snow-white Japanese Hour which takes the best Chin- ese steamed buns..

A QUICK ADVANCE This done, the armed mem- bers of the party, all picked guerilla warriors, quickly ad- vance to the railway. Some cross the line to split into two or three small groups. In case Japanese troop's should come, it is the duty of those men tó fire from different directions In order to nusiend the enemy forces, while the rest withdraw. Meanwhile, the majority of the ughters, numbering between 70 and 100, remain on their own side of the line. With them are ex.. Of course, the guerillas do not perienced wreckers.
