Deimel linen-me underwear has
stood the test of Summer use by
many OF our customers with happy
results.
Men who are susceptible to at
mospheric changes report: " Not
a cold since wearing Deimel."
Now comes crucial test: is it
good for Winter use?
In Russia, linen is said to be the
favorite underwear, and some physl-
clans here recommend Deimel to
Rheumatics.
No question Of the comfort Of its
contact with the skin; and if more
warmth is required than the outer
garments supply, a suit of light
weight merino over the Dcimel takes
the trick. CA friend gave US this as
his own experience.
We are not trying to make
prosclytes Of wearers of wool. Our
function is to supply what people
like. and the wool underwear is here
in ample variety at satisfactory prices
awaiting your pleasure. But we are
expected to tell the current under
wear ncws-yes, even the gossip.

Did these men DO less than the soldiers who en-
listed in the sixties and are they not entitled 10

II Soldier" who asks these questions. knew the
foundation on which the Grand Army OF the Re

the questions.
40 man may become a member OF the order VINO

When that restrictive clause N removed the men
who fought against Spain and who were also In
the Confederate service may become members OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic But until then
some Of the men who earned glory IN the recent
war must remain on the outside. and "SoIdier
would certainly not wish 10 some OF the officers

natives here are q very nice class Of peo-
pie. Most OF them can understand 10
by using objects. We have already
learned to use some Spanish. The ma
tiyes are dark, about like an Indian;
their hair is long and black. and their
eyes are something like those Of the
japanese. A great many can speak the
English language very well. The lang

Right close to our camp is q river and
several springs, and on ell sides Of il 10
Q fine grove Of all kinda Of trees.
The soil hers is adapted for every
thing. The natives raise q species OF
corn very similar to our Indian corn.
We are not all csmped here yet; but
what there is makes q sight well worth
seeing. Every man and his partner has
q shelter tent and the thousands OF these
small tents make q fine show. The na-
tives are all very we'll armed con sidering

man has weapon OF some kind. Some
