A Thanksgiving Thank You.

OHAs. CAMPBELL,
DEAR s1R-I take pleasure in inform
ing you that money, cakes, ETC.. for Co.
F's Than ksxiving dinner, arrived o. K,
and wish through you to thank the
ladies of the Army & Navy League, and
those who kindly remembered us on
that day.
We were enabled to procure every
thing that was required for an OCCASION
Of this kind, and in my estimation had a
spread that could not be surpassed.
After so many days OF hard work nee
-ssary to put our new camp in dry and
healthy condition, having nothing TO eat
except what little could be cooked
between showers with wet wood,
you can readily appreciate the fact that
turkey rapidly disappeared; but afte,
all were satisfied, there still enough re-
Uained for dinner next day.
1t is useless to express our thanks or
osper, but if you could have heard ths
b rvs talking and have seen how they al
appr .ciatei your kindness, you woulc
have all felt, I believe, well paid foI
,our trouble.
Col. Kuert, Msjors Kaufman ant
Campbell, and all Head Quarter officers
request me to express to you their sin
cere appreciation of the kind Invitation
extended. am Very Sincerely,

How to Wear and Clean Them, Ac-

Remember that you have a fragile
and delicate instrument, one that al
ways requires considerate and careful
handling.
The whole success or usefulness of
spectacles depends upon their proper
position in front Of the eye. II they are
bent out Of their right position, or 9TH
erwise misplaced, they become thereby
worse than useless.
In putting on or taking of spectaoles
always use both hands and do 1t in such
q way that the temple pieces are not
pulled widely apart or otherwise strain
ed so as to wrench, bend or loosen the at
tachments.
In putting on the glasses do not crush
the lenses against the eye and thus soil
them at once.
Fold and unfold the frames as little
as possible and always with care. Upon
retiring at night leave them unfolded
and in some place where other objects
will not be laid upon them. Never lay
a lens on its face, but always on Its
edge.
For cleaning lenses, which should be
done several times day, use clean,
unstarched old cotton or linen handker-
chief, and one never used for any other
purpose. Never use chamois, leather,
tissue paper, silk or woolen material,

trustees of that institution. They say
that since 1885. $402 per month has been

to help their needy relatives elsewhere

no needy relatives, and that nearly $780,
