The Vidette, Iuka, Miss.
After a month of army life we
sr about to get ours elves adjusted.
Have formed lots of new acquaint-
ances among fellow soldiers, and
our friends at home are sure not
forgetting us. All this helps to
bring about contented feeling,
also All inspiration to be right on
the job in everything.
There seems to be a tendency
to believe that we are under-fed
Now ! want to say that we are
faring sumptuously, are given a
variety of good wholesome food
three times daily. Of course we
are deprived of the dainties we
shared at home, but so far as ]
know not one has left the mess
hall hungry.
Our daily routine consists Of
drills, physical exercises, hikes,
etc. They prove to be little
strenuous just now, but as the
days go by one realizes that this
sort of life is making a real man
out of him.
For recreation and amusement
the Y. NJ. c. A. seems to be the
center of attraction, but since we
are under quarantine on account OF
measles we have learned to depend
on ourselves for these things and
if you do not join in and enjoy
yourself you are just standing in
your own light that's all.
Summing everything up, as far
as we have gone, military life i:
very satisfactory. 1t is certainly
infinitely better than civil life
when it comes to health. Discip
line is strict without being inhu.
man or brutal. Some military
rules are very distasteful to the
rookie, but time will probabl,
show us their value.

Everybody in Jacksonville either
knows or has heard Of Engineer
Chas. ]. Weeks, who runs the
Seaboard Air Line fast train,
Fox" between Jacksonville and
Tampa. Mr. Weeks bears the dis
tinction of being the second oldest
engineer in point of service with
his road, having been with the
company for thirty-three years.
He is a man of very temperate
habits, few words and strong con-
victions. According to his own
statement he has never taken a
drink nor used tobacco in any
form. He not only has splendid
record for efficiency as railroad
man, but is held in the very high
est esteem by his fellow citizens in
Jacksonville.

seven bottles of Tanlac and feel

boy" said Mr. Weeks to the Tan.

THE WOMEN PICKETS. - Are
some of the women who are work
ing for the national suffrage amend
ment using good judgment by pick
citing the white house or not?
They knew the presidents views
on that amendment before the last
election; they did all they could to
defeat him, but failed. Do the wom-
en- who are picketing the white house
think they will be able to change Mr.
Wilson's views on the amendment
by standing out and freezing all day
long in this cold winter?
The tactics the leaders of the ma
tional amendment forces are using
are huge joke. They were used as
tools in the last national campaign
by leaders of one of the big political
parties. Now they are standing in
the cold all day, trying to get Will
sons goat. Has the president any
goat to be gotten?
A WOmen"s suffrage amendment
at this time would be a certain fail
Ure. Instead of spending time and
money on picketing, some of the
women ought to give it for the use
of literature to advance their cause.
The women will get suffrage by
states much quicker than they
would by national suffrage amend
ments. They haven't the money to
