An INTERESTING LETTER FROM A
TEMSAS SOLDIER.

MIR. Albert q. Bondurant, who has
oeen at Pueblo, Colorado, for some
time, has answered the call of his
country and is located at Camp Funs-
ton, in Kansas Writing his folks at
st. Joseph, he says:

pansion is full four inches. In short

temperature alternating rapidly from

up, the next is cold, damp or rainy.
indeed it has been raining for past 70
hours and is not unlike the Louisiana
rail- rains. Our barracks are nice and
comfortable buildings, large and airy,
While the meals are also good with one
unfortunate defect in that there is
httle discipline maintained i'm the
olnlng room and one has to eat and
gobble in order to get his just pro-
portion, and which you can easily un-
derstand is not good for the digestion.

there are 1913 men IN my battery and

french 75's, but are considered by
military experts 10 be superior to
those ordinances. AS / belong to the
second gun crew you can see already
that the Germans are going TO have a
not old time! We expect to be moved
either to Linda Vista, California, or
where the climate will be
better suited for field practise in winter,
as the heavy snow here will interfere
greatly with artillery manoevers. Our
gun range is about eight miles.

Mail Orders VIII Receive Prompt Attention

We have fine lot of men here and
our officers are all clever to us and do
all they can to make life easy and COM
Portable for us. Considering that this
cantonment includes practically one
hundred thousand men, the general
health here is good; however, the
water is not the best, compelling the
use of anti-typhoid in drinking. We
will each take a"shot in the back with
heavy artillery" soon to prevent ty-
yhus. Had one about ten days ago
and Will have TWO more to take, about
ten days apart. The effect is awfuly
sickening for awhile; we have also
had small pox vaccination, but the
after effect is mild, or at least has been
so with me.
We have 30 minutes physical culture
exercise daily, intended principally for
lung and chest development. The
artillery work is possibly so per cent
less than that done by the infantry, but
we will have our horses to look after.
For the present our daily drill is con-
nned to long range finding, though it is
understood that we will later be armed
with heavy calbre automatic pistol.
Our battery is divided into sections.
as follows: first four: gunners; second
four: ammunition carriers, and the
ninth section: repair men. As stated

A DIcIPLE OF PREVENTION
(Bv Maud P. Hook

On the interurban car this morning
the three seats directly ahead OF me
were occupied by pathetic little
familv-a widow and five frail but neat
and handsome children.
1 knew something of the history OF
the family and my curosisty was aroused
as to where they could be going soearly
in the morning The father, laborer,
had died about month previous after
long suffering from tuberculosis. The
baby bright little fellow of three, had
been dismissed from the Children s
Tuberculosis Hospital during the year,
after successful treatment for spinal
tuberculosis. All had been affected by
the disease. in some form, at one time
or another. inquired as to how the
children was getting along
"Ohr' the mother said in her broken
English, "'He is just fine, they couldn't
have done him better. His little back
is so straight and fine now. To him,
vet, life now is another thing. You
know he was by the Children's Hos
pital on a sun-porch.
81 must take them all now to the
'Uuvenal Court that the judge should
give me one of those, now, WIDOWS
pensions. | pulled them all outof bed
at half past FIVE.
AFTER" she continued, pointing to
a girl of seven or eight VINO was even
more frail than the rest, 81 will take her
to Muirdale that they should examine
her for tuberculosis. 1t is better they
should fine it out first, than to let 1t
till it is too late-and then"
She did not finish the sentence, but
her face told the story.
This brave little woman has learned
the tragic lesson, too late. perhaps,
but still in time to protect her brood
from further ravages of the disease.
What an eloquent lecturer she might
make for the cause of prevention!
What pointed example she is to US of
the toll which neglect and ignorance
exacts of the stated Had the belated
attention which the family now receives
been given five years ago, there would
have been no need for the county aid
which they have been receiving for
some time, no demand for a widows
pension, and no little children hand

The pullet that is Matched early ma
lures early and is ready to lay in the

their owners later in the year should
be out of their shells by April Both at
the latest. If they are properly cared
for thereafter they will begin to Law
