Dear trlenus
/ am writing to you this afternoon as
am confined to my quarters with a
sprained ankle and the leaders twisted
in the calf of my right leg.
Our camp is one of the most sanitary
that Uncle Sam owns. There is a water
line laid all around camp, and the water
is 999s pure, by government test. We
have erected new kitchens that are fly
proof for each Delaware company, and
we have new frame shower baths that
are greatly appreciated by the boys. We
have put board floors in all the tents.
but the cots that we have been prom
ised have not yet come. The only thing
the boys can find fault with is that they
are tired sleeping on the hard floor.
Company L and Company A are hav-
ing a baseball game in Deming this af-
ternoon, and it is expected that Company
= will win as they always do. They
played last Sunday and the score was
two to one in favor of Company +, of
the good old town of Newark, Del.
All the boys are in good health and en-
joying camp life. We now have neigh
bors-twO regiments from Arkansas and
a motor cycle company from the same
state.

Saturday was a banner day for all Yer
mont colleges Vermont proved an un
expected victor over New Hampshire
State college; Norwich administered the
count to st. Lawrence and Middlebury
triumphed over Rensselaer, Poly.
Interest in college football among the
Green Mountains will begin to heighten
when the intercollegiate series begins
Arrangements for the game that God
dard hopes to play with greater Boston
school team Thanksgiving day are still in
the mkaing.
Tree and Lavoie are exceptionally apt
punting pupils.
Apparently St Peters came to Barre
with bushels of confidence and the sharp
defensive which Goddard presented to its
trick sorties after the first dazzling eff
fects had worn off put a crimp in their
aspirations.
Capt. Mcintosh shows no signs of nurs-
ing the fractured collar bone which he
received early in the season and his work
at all times was of the stellar sort.
Doxey is a field general of undoubted
ability. A near wizard at picking holes
and full of ginger. Tryon played with
more finesse at times, but lacked the
Rutland lads versatility.
Tryon is back who will improve with
experience and it has been noted that in
every game he has developed his greatest
headwork in the third and fourth periods.
As an industrious end to whom football
is something to be taken with great
deal of seriousness. Slayton will bear
watching. Time and again he held sue
cessful against smashing attack and
he stood the gruelling test like sol
der.
Coach Kinney recognized the fact that
his team was going well and did not rush
his substitutes until the last quarter
when Rutland uncorked a rejuvenated
defensive.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Japland" operate Minstrel Farce-Com-
edy, Newest Thing on Stage.

John W. Vogel, whose every endeavor
has been given to minstrelsy, has for
saken the beaten path and this season
stands sponsor for "Japland.", an oper-
attic minstrel farce comedy, the newest
big thing in theatricals; newest because
of the conception that soldiers the link
that binds minstrelsy to modern mu
steal girl show. The book calls for two
acts and fourteen scenes, all massive,
vivid impressions of picturesque Japan,
the land OF quaint costumes, profuse col
oring and tinsel. The caste is neces-
sarily large for two complete organiza-
tions are required for the presentation,
also Mr.. Vogel's lyric band and double
symphony orchestra. The story is SO
arranged that the first part of minstrel
show is happily blended with scenes and
melodies from our best liked operas and,
at the same time. allows sufficient scope
for the introduction of the more recent
song successes, novel specalties and
dancing numbers OF the tango maxixe
type. the large Geisha girl chorus en-
joying the distinction of being the fast
est dancing contingent ever seen in mu-
steal farce. ''Japland" will have its
initial local hearing at the opera house
night. Nov. 4, the seat sale
starting Thursday morning.-adv.

While there plans were taken up with
the war department for adopting in full
the course of instruction in military sci
ence prescribed under the rules of the
government for the reserve officers train
ing corps. The facilities for military in
struction at Norwich university are such
as to make it comparatively easy for it
to adopt in full the war department re-
quirements. as the course of instruction
in the past has been fully as complete
as that prescribed under the new orders.
At meeting of the Political Science
club OF the university, held Tuesday
evening, it was decided to hold straw
ballot for president of the United States
at chape! Thursday morning. The club
also decided to hold party the even
ing.of the regular November election for
the purpose of receiving the election re-
turns. This party is to be held
in Dewey hall and the entire
corps is invited. Pop corn will be had
for the asking and there will be several
instructive talks during the evening. The
returns will probably be received by tel
ephone and will be posted on bulletin
board in the hall as soon as received. The
committee appointed to attend to this
affair consists of R. +. Knapp, II, L. Fl

Most old people must give to the bow

it is for old people to walk slowly. For
age is never so active as youth. The
muscles are less elastic. And the bowels
are muscles.
So all the old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this gem
tie aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at all
ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels of the old
need is gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used without
harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets,
and they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while you
