AMONG THE SOLDIERS
County Agent, Now Private Mid
dleton, Writes from Camp Meade
Camp Meade, Md.
Oct. l, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Sincell,

Dear Mr.. Sincell,
| suppose you would like to know
something of how we are getting along
down here among the sands to make a
long story short.
We arrived here in the best OF con-
dition Friday evening about Sis. The
receiving Lieutenant told me that it
was the cleanest bunch that had come
into the camp.
Every man was sober. We fell in
column of four ard marched to section
F building q where we can easily be
found if any one wishes to see us. Up
on arriving at ''27' we were given two
blankets and mess kit, assigned to our
hunks. Milton has 81 and / have SO.
We are all IN one room on the second
floor. On our march up from the sta
ton some fellow on the side spotted
John Livengood and shouted "Oh! look
at the big guy. They'll get him"
We are all getting along nicely. So
far as we know now not man will be
sent back. The physical examinations
at this end are not much different from
the one there. Some of the local boards
have been very lax. One bunch has a
man who is blind in one eye. Another
has man with cork leg.
One Of our greatest Inconvenience
is that Of getting our meals. Our kitch-
en- was not ready when we came. In
fact quite few were not ready.
They were feeding about 800 men at
the mess we have been going to. We
have to form in line and wait our turn.
An amusing incident in this connection is
that Byrne Hamill was always Except
ing once shout the first to get his eats.
1t goes rather hard with a bunch of
fellows who have been used to sitting
down to full table Of good hot grub
to have to wait in line and then take
what we get. | believe that we are
getting enough. What we do get is as
a rule well prepared, and we will soon
be used to it.
We are all short on bed clothes. We
are allowed to have pillows, but none
are furnished. The only bed clothes we
get are the two blankets. These are
not enough to keep US warm, and it will
be necessary for all to have more. Most
of the fellows have already written
home for what they want. We are not
supplied with sweaters. Anyone knit
ting sweaters for any of the boys should
use the olive drab color as we are not
allowed to wear any other color where
it can be seen.
L was interrupted in writing this by
our Lieutenant who took Milton Sinceu,
Clay Stanton, Paul Liston ana myself
out for little class in military tactics.
We are making try for non->om. of
ficers. A company when filed is to
have $50 men. That makes a good
sized company.
We do not have our uniforms yet but
expect to get them before long They
will be very welcome to some who
brought no more civilian clothing than
necessary. There is to be a camp laun-
dry where we can have our clothes
Numbered at very reasonable charge.
We have all been examined, vacci-
mated and inocculated. Everyone seems
to be enjoying the life and the longer
we are here the better We like it. We
would appreciate visits from our
friends.
With regards,
A. G. MIDDLETON.

If cross, feverish, sick, bilious

Children love this fruit laxative" "
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels. and the result
is they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold. has sore throat,
stomach ache or diarrhoea Listen,
Mother. See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of california Syrup
of Figs" and in a few hours all the
constipated waste, sour bile and undi-
gested food passes out of the system.
and you have a well, playful child
again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and il never
fails to act on the stomach, liver and
bowels.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" which has
full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun-
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine,
made by California Fig Syrup Com
pany." Refuse any other kind with

JAMES, JOHNSON IS INVITED
TO SEEK OUT OTHER FIELDS
Jim Was Abroad at an Early Hour
and Had No job, SO He
Was pinchcd.

James johnson Jared badly in
Tulsa. lie reached the city one eve
ming and the following morning at
daybreak he was being quizzed by a
couple of police detectives who sought
to learn from whence he had come
and whittier he was bound. Jim was
bound for breakfast at that particular
moment. after which he had sort of
calculated on meandering over to West
Tulsa where he would see about get
ting job with some refinery.
In the eyes of the detectives. John
sons plans were far too tentative and
did not smack of sufficient concrete
features to warrant his being per-
mitted to go his way without first
having had a few words with the mu-
nicipal judge.
When James was brought before
the judge he needed a shave very
badly, his hair was much the worse
for lack of recent introduction to q
comb and brush and he didn't talk
like man who was bordering on ner-
vous prostration for fear he wouldn't
find a job. To make things easy for
him the court told Jim If he would
leave town he might be on his way
Jim said he would go and the judge
fined him $50, said fine being sus-
pended until he was again found
within the city limits.

DISCIPLINE OF TWO KINDS
The Allied variety is Reasoning
Obedience and Teamwork.

The recent successes Of the British
armies were based on discipline and
teamwork. The individual recruit at
first was averse to rigid discipline; but
needless and appalling losses drilled
into him the lesson that he must sub
ordinate his individuality to his team
unit.
The men of Great Britain and
France cannot be blindly driven to the
attack, as the Teuton forces are. The
German military theory of unreason-
ing obedience Is an effective one, as
her victories of the first months of the
war so fearfuly demonstrated; but the
allied armies have now reached the
more effective stage of reasoning obe-
dience.
AS iron in the furnace is converted
into steel, so In the hell of battle have
men learned that the Individual there
is less than an atom of importance and
that rigid discipline and cooperation
alone can keep him alive and render
him effective. Each new army added
to the allied forces has shown the
same lack of discipline at first; and
each In turn has learned its terrible
lesson on the battlefield. The high
commanders In the allied armies have
also learned much by experience; as
the individual soldier has seen how alb
solutely powerless Is single man, so
the commanders have found the dan
ger of mass attacks.
In the present war the fate OF ar
mics depends more and more upon the
small ur/S and their leaders. In re-
cent battles in France and Flanders
on an average It took the captain OF
an assaulting company fifty minutes
to send a communication back to his
battalion commander and equally long
time for him to receive reply. Since
a battle emergency usually lasts only
