q a. n.y. the sick and bruised. as we'll
as some homesick ones, come for
treatment. Our duty is to treat
bruises, general disorders, fractures
etc. Those who are to remain in bed
for mere than one day are transferred

first aid station where wounds are
more carefully dressed and sent to the
From the field hospital they are taken
to base hospital where they are kept
until able to go back home or into the
service again. Hospital corps men are
not allowed to carry arms as they are
supposed to be neutral.
Everyone is anxious to get into Mex
leo and clean up the ''greasers." The
other day bandaged a gunshot wound
in the leg of Mexican from Carranza's
army. He was clad in a ragged shirt
and pair of overalls. No soldiers in the
Mexican army have uniforms only the
officers. Typhus, smallpox and yellow
fever are reported among them. One
cannot imagine the filth that these peo-
pie live in. About as queer thing as
l have seen was Mexican asleep upon
pile of boards. His feet and portion
of his legs hung off over the edge and
upon each leg roasted chicken.
The water is very good here. It is FL
tered and taken from reservoir. This
: is necessary as the Rio Grande from
which it comes is very muddy. Incl
dentally might mention for the benefit
OF those who have the same idea that
held about the size of the Rio Grande
that it is less than one eighth of mile
wide at this time of the year.
They have had little rain since last
September so you can imagine the con-
dition of the ground. Temperature
runs as high as 1913 degrees. You say,
in the shade? AS one fellow here said,
''There amt no shade" Our shade
in this part of Texas consists of five
foot mequite and good deal of cac-
tus Where some of the soldiers are
situated only nine miles away there are
deer, wildcats, armadillos, sage hens,

Now about food: We have three
meals. or mess each day. 1t is by no
means like that we get at home but
it fills up. "Soldier's grub is some
thing made long ways from home.
1t makes most of US appreciate what a
home is likes
We must be in bed at 10. 80 p. m. and
up at 5 80 a. m. It is hot in the day
time but the evenings are wonderful,
cool and clear. I have often sat at
night and listened to the tramp of the
guards on patrol and occasionally few
stray shots are fired. All these things
were very strange at first but now are
second nature.
Well I could write many pages more
but I must finish some other day as
mess call is sounding.

of old Vermont tonight, I remain,

NO EXCUSE FOR "atN'T."
It Ls About the Worst Contraction tn
,->~.~. the English Language.

+ r+ Sne En9ush Iaf'9aaSe.
"Ain't" is an improper abbrevtation
Of "are not" British writers spell it
ANT" which properly indicates its
derivation. Americans make it an in
elusive offense, using It for ''am not"
and sis not" as web as for 'are not"
It Is unquestonabiy the worst instance
Of slQyenliness in the common speech
Of today. 81 s~'.a.'eE?,-y. .s~s~-
Yet it Is by no means Of universal or
even common use. It will slip occa-
sionally from refined lips, always with
a jar to the enunciator, as well as TO
the hearer. But the habitual user Of
"ain'ts'' Is careless Of refinement. He
q may be an excellent citizen who never
beats his wife nor kicks the cat But
there Is likely to be something slipshod
about him somewhere. For "ain't'' is
needless, as We'll as cacophonous. Il
fills no void and supplies no need
English observers complain supercfl
iously of the laxness Of American
speech. American observers who have
listened to the marvels Of Lancashire
Yorkshire, DevOnshire and other shire
dialects are inclined to resent any as
sumption Of British superiority. But
it is none the less desirable to eliml
nate our own linguistic sins, and OF
these "ain't" is the most deplorable-

Many Kinds Of Monkeys

The ordinary reader hardly re2Hzes
how many varieties Of monkeys exist.
We hear Of monkeys in the Indies with
reddish brown bodies. black heaGs al ,
faces of a sky blue. There are mon
keys with white eyelids and green
monkeys to be found on the A.. =,
continent and Cape de Verde islands
The hoWlers, which inhabit South
America, are large and fierce, and trav-
elers describe their yells as absolutely
appalling. So dreadful is the sound OF
their roarings that one would ina CINE
that all the beasts of the forest had
gathered together for a battle. These
creatures are so fierce that even the
most skillful and adventurous trainer
Is unwilling to teach them tricks.

A cliff of natural glass can be seen
tn Yellowstone park. 1t is half a mile
long and from $50 to 200 feet high,
the material Of which it consists being
as good glass as that artifcially manu-

forms the base Is from Is to 100 feet

suffered and survived many ages of

A Ball on the Window Shade.

It frequently occurs in adjusting
spring roller blinds that the cord slips
through the hand and the blind not
only winds up to the top, but continues
until the spring has spent its force and
the blind and cord are rolled up out Of
reach. 1t is then necessary to use q
chair or stepladder to readjust it. All
this trouble and annoyance can be
avoided If a small hollow rubber ball
Is obtained and holes punched through
so It may be threaded on the curtain
string and tied close to the stick.
Should the blind slip away with this
attachment the ball will jam up against
the window frame, preventing further
winding Unpopular Mechanics.

The Word "Mizpah."

The word "AIizpah'' is the name of
several places in Palestine. The one
with which it's connection is best
known, however, is the heap of stones
and the pillar set up by Jacob and his
brethren as a witness of the covenant
between Jacob and Laban. The heap
an altar. The use of the word 'Miz-
pah" as an inscription for memorial
rings Is based on words occurring In
connection with the setting up of the
stones by Jacob and his brethren,
the covenant with Laban-"The Lord
watch between me and thee while we
are absent one from the other."-New

MOSES AND SANITATION.
Ancient Laws az Effective as Modern
Rulas Of Hyqiene.

Ancient Laws az Effective az Modem
Ruses Of Hygiene
There has been gathered collection
Of facts to prove that the sanitary laws
Of Moses We're not only ON line with
the modern rules of hygiene, but in
some cases in advance Of them
The Jew, thousands Of years before
Christ, settling in a semitopical coun-
try, was forbidden to eat pork or shell
fish, and milk was designated as a
source Of cOntagtGn- In the Talmud
a method OF slaughtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
day In our markets as the most SAM
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch gave
to the world the results Of his re-
searches In bactertology the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to maD
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did not
forbid infected poultry as food 1t was
only few years ago that German spe-
c1a1tsts discovered that fowl tuhercu-
losis was harmless to man
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of the dead
outside all cities. These hints the Gen
tile world did not fully accept until a
century OF two ago.
The wise lawgtver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods OF the
year, but the removal Of all families
IN summer out TO camps, where for a
time they could i've close to nature.
Many Of the laws OF Moses were pre-
scr1ptions intended for the health Of

The daughters Of the land Of flowers
sometimes curiously reverse European

instead Of running their needle through
