Camp Wb~eler, Ga.
cigarettes for Soldiers.

We are glad to see every move
ment which is intended to add some
comfort to our soldier boys now in
camp, and we shall rejoice even
more when these comforts are be-
slowed upon them after they reach
French soil. But we cannot endorse
the movement for supplying them
with cigarettes. 1t has been admit
ted for quite while that cigarettes
are very injurious, especially to
Young men. There is division of
opinion among the doctors as to the
injuriousness of cigarettes, but a
majority or them are free to say
that tobacco in this form is dan
gerous because one who becomes a
cigarette smoker almost invariably
carries the habit to excess. The
fact that such a large per cent OF
those who have been enlisted or
drafted for service in this country
are physically unfit shows that there
must be some cause for this degen-
eracy. Such was not the case in
the war between the States. 1t is
not reasonable that the widespread
use of cigarettes among our boys
has had much to do with under
mining their health? Many a
young fellow whose fingers were
never stained with cigarettes while
at home will contract the habit be-
cause these coffin tacks' will be
given to them free. We are sorry
that these we'll intentioned people
have fallen upon this way of show
ing their interest in the soldiers. "
Biblical Recorder.
Correct. A gentleman remarked
to us the other day that he had no
sympathy whatever with the effort
to raise a tobacco fund for the sol
diers, OF for any one else. He said
he was ready and more than willing
to contribute to any fund that was
for the good of the men, but when
it came to the tobacco business be
was not in it. We are sure that
there is not a greater evil than tie
cigarette evil, and the time has
come when this must be recognized.

Mrs. Cowles is now on her timer
ary, and her husband, who is duiy

Zena Payne, telling that she will pass
through Johneton, on Nov. 6th, on
l o'clock train, and will be glad to
speak a few words to interested
friends, DR.. Cowles especially men
toned his warm friends, the
Mobleys, Mrs. Huiet, Miss Eliza

Although, DR.. Cowles stated that
she would make minute talk from

that will not be easily shaken.

Letter From Young Soldier to
His Mother.

Mrs. Agatha A. Woodson has
two sons in the army, both being
stationed at Macon at present.. Her
oldest son William A. Woodson is
a captain of machine gun compa-
nv iand for the past three weeks
have been serving as adjutant. Her
second son, from whom she re-
ceived the following letter several
days ago, entered the army as a
sergeant and was recently commits
stoned lieutenant:
My Dear Mama:
Received your very interesting
letter about week ago and wanted
to write earlier but have been so
awfully busy.
Bill is still here, so I guess he
won't be sent to St. Louis. He
seems to be in pretty good health
now.
Yes, I have been getting the pa
pers and appreciate them so much'
tho have very little time to read.
I am going to Machine Gun schoo!
here in camp which keeps in seven
hours day and have to study one
and a half hours each day outside
of that, besides the company
non-com. school four nights a
week. The NJ. G. school is held
bya Major Knox, who has been out
to Fort Sill. To-day we had with
us a. Captain who had just come
back from there last night and he
gave us very interesting talk.
Monday we went to the range with
the guns and got some good prac-
tice. We had with us that day a
Captain from the French army who
has been wounded. He dosn't
speak very plain English, but l
managed to catch q lot of good
'sdope" from his talk. The gun
we are studying is the Maxim Gun
and fires about six hundred shots
per minute-shoots the same ammu-
milton as is used with the army rifle
$50 cal. When it first began firing
it made me shut my eyes and jump
little bit, but after the first few
shots we got used to it and it was
nothing more than having gasoline
engine running right by you with
the mufier off-ouly, of course.
good bit louder and more rapid.
The machine gun, IN fact, is gas
.engine-being operated by the gas
from the she'll as it explodes. You
start it off by firing the first shell
and it automatically continues as
long as there is any ammunition IN
the belt. One gun is handled By
each squad, about four men to ope-
rate the belt filling machine and the
balance of the squad to pass ammu-
milton etc., with the exception OF
the corporal who acts as gunner.
The part of the platoon leader is to
find the range etc., and carry o"0
the instructions of the 9. .. as
to handling the guns in his platoon
to draw sketches aud to do about a
million other things.
This letter is pretty full of army
work but as you know / haven I
time to let my mind get awS from
it. | know you will pardoa SO muon
reference to my work.
With lots of .Ove from

1.-THE Fortunes Of Fifi'

"The Fortunes Of Fifi''
Fiji" is little mink of French
sctress whose colossal conceit makes
Ter believe that she is great act
,, ress despite the failure Of the first
company with which she becomes
connected.
Nothing dauAted by this catastro-
rhe, Fiji goes to Paris, where she
becomes at once the JOY and despair
Of Cartouche, kindly veteran of
the Napoleanic wars, who takes the
title chit of girl under his pro
tecting wing.
Through the influence Of the vet
Gran, Fiji obtains employment At
The Imperial where abe aoon be-
comes the bitter rival at J1lie lie
Fr,n for the position s Of leading
lady Of the company. Cartouche,
Fer self-appointed guardian, pur-
chases q government lottery ticket
which he insists upon presenting to
Elf. The ticket is declared the win
ming number and Fiji suddenly
comes into possession Of for
tune.
Thereupon CaEtouche decides that
she must be educated and made a
lady,, much to her disgust, for the
little girl has sincere dramatic aspir-
atoms and is in love with Cartouche
despite the veterans effort to as
sumo q, very stern and fatherly atti-
.ude toward her.
The revolt which is instituted by
Fiji ranks high in the annals Of per-
sonal revolutions, both in picture
squeness and efficiency Needless to
say, Fiji circumvents all efforts to
defect her from her chosen path.

to the lady in charge about signing
up for some definite obligations of
service. Then l went into several
places on Canal Street asking the
merchants for donations to my
friends booth at the Italian Red
Cross fete.
Then walked around to my bank
and signified my desire to buy
Liberty Bond. Besides being a way
OF doing her bit, q Liberty bond is
a good investment for a working
woman, you know. When l had con-
cluded that bit of high finance be-
