AN ENGLISH LAD
WRITES OF EXPE-
RIENCE IN ARMY

Brunswick, Me-. Oct. 22.-(SpeciaD
Arthur j. Langford of Brunswick.
native of England, has received a
very interesting letter from a young
er brother, who has recently Joined
the Somerset Light Infantry of the
English regular army.
Young Langford gives an excellent
idea in his letter of the high patri-
otism of the English people of all
classes, and of the logged, matter.
of-fact manner in which the Bril-
fish are daily increasing the efficiency
OF their forces for the great war-a
war which every Englishman is con-
WINGED will be long and tedious.
The letter is in part as follows:
A. j. Langford,
Somerset Light Infantry,
lnkerman Barracks, Woking
Surrey.
Dear Brother:
Just line in reply to your most
welcome letter. / expect it rather
surprised you to learn that had Join
ed the army. My manager said he
didn't think / had it in me but he
was greatly mistaken. The Cover
nor of my firm was pleased to learu
that l had enlisted, as he was of the
same opinion as myself-thought K
every single mans duty to join. Well
Arthur, have given up the COM
forts of home-also the pleasure OF
cycling-to come to fight for my
country.
/ am thinking myself that mother
and father miss me. AS you know
they keep it to themselves. They
know it is for a good cause. / am
satisfied although we have had to
rough it a bit. OF course bare boards
are not as soft as a bed to lie on
But never mind. We are getting
brought up to be hardy lot of chaps
This is the first time l have been
away from home and you can guess
it is bit strange am now at Wo-
king in Surrey. 1t is ~ miles from
Aldershot and 25 miles from London.
For three weeks we were at Alder
shot. Aldershot is a town of about
IS miles in circumference and it is
composed entirely of barracks in
which there are three times the num-
Der of men that are in the town in
times of peace.
About 1860 of us, comprising the
9Th and 7th battalions were marched
from AIdershot to Woking recently
and taken into the barracks there.
The barracks are about two and one
half miles from the heart of the town.
The barracks ground is not large
enough for US ala to drill in so we
go daily to a drill ground two miles
away. In all we average about Is
miles a day marching-six to eight
hours day drill Tonight we are
going on a night march for a few
hours. On this march we have to
keep silent. No smoking allowed.

HELP THE STOMACH
DIGEST YOUR FOOD

When the stomach fails to di-
gest and distribute that which is
eaten, the bowels become clog
geo with mass of waste and
refuse that ferments and gener-
ates poisons that are gradually
forced into the blood causing
distress and often serious i'll
ness.
Most people naturally object
to the drastic cathartic and pur-
gative agents that shock the
system. A mild, gentle laxative,
positive in its effect and that
will quickly relieve constipation
is DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin,
sold by druggists at fifty cents
and one dollar a bottle. 1t does
not grippe or cramp, but acts
easily and pleasantly and is
therefore the most satisfactory
remedy for children, women and
elderly persons. For a free trial

CASCARETS keep
BOWELS REGULAR
AND CURE COLDS
No headache, sour stom-
ach, bad cold or con-
stipation by morning.
Get a 10-cent box.


Coids-whether in the head or any
part of the body-quickly overcome
by urging the liver to action and keep
ing the bowels free of poison. Take
/ Cascarets tonight and you will wake
| up with a clear head and no doubt you
will wonder what became Of your cold
Cascarest work while you sleep; they
cleanse and regulate the stomach, re-
move the sour, undigested food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry off the constipated
waste matter and poison from the
bowels.
Remember the quickest way to get
rid of colds is one or two Cascarets at
night to cleanse the system. Get 10
cent box at any drug store. Don't for
get the children. They relish this
Candy Cathartic and it is often all
that is needed to drive a cold from
their little systems.-Adv.

SCIENCE HITS THE
COFFEE DRINKERS
Familiar Table Beverage Unmasked
and Its Evil Effect on the Human
Body Shown.

An astonishing list of ills due to
coffee drinking is pointed out by DR..
Otto Juettner, of the Cincinnati Poly
clinic, in a communication to the New
York Medical Times. THE symptoms
produced by excessive indulgence in
coffee can be observed in the arrested
physical and mental development OF
children, their pallor, emaciation and
nervousness; in the morbidly excited
condition of women who are addicted
to the coffee-pot just as the topper is
to the whiskey bottle, and no less a
helpless and pitiable victim than he;
In professional men and students who
whip up their. mental. faculties. py
coffee: in the aged, whose tremor and
itch are not infrequently due to ex-
cessive indulgence in coffee.
Coffee poisoning in it's chronic form
may be the cause of tremor. Of ringing
in the ears; of acrid quotations, of
severe continuous headaches, creeping,
pricking sensations in the skin seusa-
lions of heat and cold, hysterical at
tacks, troubles of vision, dizziness, in
.somnia, all kinds of digestive disturb
ances. Coffee depresses the kidney
functions, and skin symptoms are
probably due to irritation from re-
tanned waste.
Patients who cannot get along with
out tea or coffee, but feel uncomfort-
able and even sick when deprived OF
these stimulants, are, to all intents
and purposes, drug fiends, and should
be classified with habitues Of tobacco
alcohol, opium and other toxic agents"
NOTE-lt - interesting to observe
that as medical science moro and
more reveals the harmfulness Of COT.
fec to the health Of both young and
old there follows tremendous increase
IN the use Of the pure food beverage.

In conclusion, the o., 'crtu titi", .,
civic improvement are very many and
Jar reaching; cne Of tne most important
is the collection Of garbage, properly
regulated. The system should include
every part Of the city. and the collec-
,loM should be made with clock work
regularity. All garbage carts should
be covered with tarpaulins, carry a
warning bell and a close check kept on
the drivers. sanitation, street and al.
ley cleaning. are Of equal Importance
and should be carried on with a system
attic regularity. A house to house
campaign by a sanitary polise officer
against the spread Of dirt will accom-,
pllsh wonders in the reduction of dis,
ease. Standing pools Of stagnant water
should be oblitPrated and where this is
impractical, should be coated with oil.
With reference to street ind alley
cleaning, think you will agree with
me that our beautiful little city is very
deficient in this respect. At least, there
is room FOR improvement, and with an
administration under commission gov.
eminent operated on strictly business
principles, | believe we can have our
paved streets cleaned, the grass and
weeds cut, CUTTERS cleaned and eulyerts
opened on those that are mot paved.
Then se will be in a better position to
insist upon the cleaning up Of private
property.
One other matter has occurred to me.
We have a most excellent Light and
Water Commission; the day is not far
distant when se shall be in need of
parks and play grounds, in fact, | may
say that We have already reached that
point, | would earnestly recommend
the ladies Of this organization take
