Editor ALMA RECORD -
If you have not lost prestige by pub
fishing my last letter, you may print
this one.
We are having very nice weather
here. same as June weather in Michigan.
We drill without blouses, but have some
cold nights, not uncomfortable, how
ever. The boys are anxious to know
their destination, most of them want to
see foreign country. Some are dissatis'
fed or homesick and want TO 60 home,
but they are not considered good sold
icrs. except some who have good cause
for rebelling. There came report into
camp last night through the Augusta
papers that the Second Army Corps
would be mustered out in their present
quarters. 1t started with the Tenth
/ Ohio Regt. and was taken up by each
successive regiment until it went through
the entire brigade causing great excite
ment. cheers from the few dissatisfied
ones and groans from the many that are
still loyal to their pledge and to the
government. The report was nothing
that was reliable although it looks as II
we were doomed TO go home, but will
have the order before l believe it.
We have our Krag- -Jorgensen guns
with knife tayonets. The knife can be
used as a bayonet or as knife. The
guns are "A very strong shooting gun and
well constructed weapon.

that one of the incidents of the
wind blowing the water out of
the river during the late storm
was the strange sight of the shad
fishermen gathering fish from
the nets we'll above the water,
making it veritable fishing in
the air. The shad had been
caguht in the nets and the wafer
running out left the nets suspend
ed from the posts and high above
the water, the fishermen having
to just go along and pick the
fish out of their nets.

Steel Traces.

A new use has been found for steel
in the manufacture of harness. An
English firm makes a steel trace, con-
slstlng of a narrow ribbon Of the metal
from three-fourths Of an inch 10 one
inch wide, rolled very thin aud cased
m leather a trace Of this kind has
attained a tensile breaking strain Of
1915 pounds, while an ordinary leath-
er trace Of the best quality, tested at
the same time, broke at a strain Of
200 pounds. Besides being lighter
and stronger than the ordinary trace,
the steel ribbon il about 20 per cent
cheaper. The steel is Of the finest
quality, and can be twisted in any d.
rection. The same kind Of steel has
been introduced in England in the
manufacture Of a practically Puncture-
less tire. The steel ribbon, cased in
rubber, is placed inside Of the ordinary
tire. 1t is said that it does not in the
least impair the residence Of the wheel,
and has actually the effect Of increas-
ing the speed Of the machine.

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hope!

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affiiction have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab-
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy To see why the
doctors have failed TO cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
a Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the ncerpromptly lyreturns, and is
always more virulont than before,
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt that Cancer is Il blood disease
