ones being left are those belonging
to the officers.
Sergeant Holmes and Sergeant
Wharton Of the First would make a
good team for size. Some of the boys
have been to New York and took a
look at Grants tomb. They say it is
fine piece Of art. We have had a
good many Iowa visitors at the camp,
among them Dr. F. G. Smith and Frank
LeBron. The following men went
over to Mr. LeBron's house for dinner
one night: Corporals Gaylard, Boss
Ter, Hewitt and Privates McCarten, Eb-
erie, Hagin and Bird. We had very
nice time and also plenty Of good
eats "Scatters" tried to adopt the
maid, but she said that he was trifle
old. Eberle tried to smoke all of the
cigarettes. Corporal Gaylard tried to
eat all Of the meat, but he couldn't
quite make the grade for I was pref
ty hungry myself Ray Bossler is a
quiet man around company, but you
ought to hear him play tune on a
knife and fork, just like Dave Easily
on mandolin. Corporals Hancock
and Black reduced themselves to pri-
Yates. A good many Of the boys al
lotted some Of their money home to
their relatives; it is taken out Of their
pay and the government sends 1t to
them. We have newspaper Of our
own now. The name of it is
the Wild Rose 1t is published once
every two weeks, and it costs US twen-
ty cents a month.
Twelve hundred men out of the
Rainbow division went to reception
over to Forest Hills and they had
fine time. All OF their expenses were
paid They got home about II o'clock
at night. Al. very well pleased and
said they wouldn't mind going again.
The aviation school is just short dis
lance from our camp and it is nothing
to see ten or twelve in the air at the
same time and some Of them loop the
loop and volplane down close to the
camp. There have been no accidents to
any of them as / know Of Garden
City is a very pretty little town. It's
population is about 1000. They have
a fine floral park close to town.
We have three BARRIERS in camp ana
they do most of the work for the boys
and they sure do big business. One
OF them is just about as fast as Dave
Tooke. Charley Ford, the top SER
geant has big job on his hands, but
he is fully capable of taking care of
it, When he tells one Of them to do
e. thing they don't hesitate very long
for it don't take him very long to put
them on extra detail and that means
plenty of work and some of it is pref
ty hard, cutting hard wood is part
of 1t and in the kitchen is another job
that they don't like. They have to
peel about tub full Of potatoes day.
Chic Cline, the mess sergeant, is about
the best liked man in camp for he
does all the buying for the kitchen
and he knows about what they like.
so every man in the company is his
friend. Nelson and Rockefeller are
the company mechanics and it don't
take them very long to fix up the brok-
en- guns and cots for the boys They
have quite a Job on their hands most
Of the time. Boggs and McKeebie are
the two buglers and they sure get
plenty Of hard words early in the
when they blow first call at
G o'clock for it seems that the boys
like to sleep along about that time.

Another Zion City Uprisinq.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
ZION CITY, H., Oct. 17.-Germs,
not Germans. have caused Zion City
to sever diplomatic relations with
the United States. Overseer Wilbur
Glenn Voliva took this step when Of.
ficials at the Camp Grant national
cantonment attempted to innoculate
Zion City's standing army against
small pox and typhoid The Zionist
church regards germs as profane and
its army-all nine of them-protested
to Voliva against providing pastllrage
against it. Voliva in turn protested
to President Wilson.
But the government hasn't done a
thing about it, Voliva said today,
and his standing army does not pro-
pose to stand for it, even if they
have to go to prison or be shot"
If the innoculation order Is re-
scinded Zion City will again join the
allies and help win the war.

# KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
NeutraIize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing burning, scalding
sensation. or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is. in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control urination.
While 1t is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one Of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast. continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is source Of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus-
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts
IS splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
here you have pleasant, effer-
Vescent Whitewater drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.

Serg. Schuster Writes h.
 teresting Letter to News

Below is published a letter re- ceived a few days ago from Ser geant R. P. Schuster, now sta- toned in the U. s. training sta tion at Camp Funston, by the editor of the News. The letter was written in reply to a letter sent to Sergeant Schuster by the editor of the News, asking in- formation as to the number of Navajo County soldiers now re- maining in Camp Funston. The letter follows:
 Dear MT. BraXton:-
 So far as I can do so will be glad to give you the information you requested in your letter of the 18th inst.
 AS you said in your letter most of our Navajo county boys went to California and the only ones ever see or know of are the boys I came with. These I believe are the only ones left in this re- giment. Their addresses are:
 Bob Meyenberg, Supply Go. 340th, Fred Baca. Supply Go. 340th, Ralph Weber, Hdqtrs. Go. 340th. Jake PsdiIla, Bat. D $40.
 You will be surprised when tell you a soldier very seldom sees any one outside of his own battery or company. Sometimes 1 do not see the other boys for a week or more. Our time IS taken up so completely that there is little time for visiting by the time we clean up for the next day and write our letters home.
 This much 1 can say for us all. Our health IS the very best and we all feel like game cocks. In fact my case proves It as 1 am taken on for a wrestling match or boxing match almost every day. Today I received a nice jolt in my Jaw. But that is all in the game and we do many things now we never did before one of them being the writing of a letter in pencil as 1 am doing now. This 1 hope you will par don. Kindest regards to you and your wife from
 Dick Schuster.

4 Thanksgiving Day ProclamG- tion. ExecutiUe Department
 State of Arizona

Our President, recognizing a time honored custom. has named Thursday. November twenty ninth, as day of thanksgiving and prayer and invites the peo- pie of our broad and prosperous land to abstain, on that day. from their labors and draw closer, in a spirit of humility and rededication of service to our God and our Nation.
 The fearful conflict now waG- ing throughout the civilized world is about to witness the fourth anniversary of Thanks giving Day, hallowed by our Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth. This year finds our Country in the throes of the same struggle, involving the destiny of Liberty. We are chastened and quickened in our love for our fellow men; possessed of a new and more vigorous outlook on humanity and rendered more reasonable and human by the beacon light of Duty shed upon us by sacri- fees at home and from battle fields afar.
 Wherefore. 1 T h o m a s E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona. do hereby proclaim Thursday, the twenty-nInth day of Novem- Der. nineteen seventeen. as a day of thanks and prayer for Gods blessing on our arms in America and overseas.
 And particularly on this day, let US not forget the families whose boards are desolated by the absence of loved ones, called to war. May we not invite them to partake in our share of the bounteous harvests of this year and join in our solemn vows to Almighty God, our King, to live righteous. abstemious lives, whereby the end of this strife may be brought nearer, that we may soon again enjoy the bless ings of peace and reunited families at the hearthsides of the American Nation. Let us take them to our hearts and give them substantial proofs of our love, obligation and comrade- ship.
 In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
