Girls and women with sallow
skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid
complexion, also those who wake up
with a coated tongue, bad taste,
nasty breath, others who are both
cred with headaches, bilious spells,
acid stomach or constipation should
begin this phosphated hot water
drinking and are assured of very
prom unced results in one or two
eeks. s,.sE
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate costs very little at the
drug store. but is sufficient to DEM
onstrate that just as soap and not
water cleanses, purities and freshens
the skin on the outside, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
inside organs. We must always con-
slider thatinternal sanitation is vast
~ moro important than outside
cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood while the bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their complexions should
just try this for a week and notice
results.

Ugly Wrinkles

Disappear as IL by Magic through
DerwIlIO Method. One AppIica-
tiOn Proves 1t.

New York: Those interested in re-
moving wrinkles and beautifying
their complexion are invited to try
the new derwillo method, a simple
combination and an effective one. The
very first application will astonish
and surprise you. You will look ten
wears younger and the healthy rosy
hue which comes to the skin. and the
Improvement in your appearance will
cause you to be envied by your less
fortunate sisters. The formula was
obtained in France from Camille de
Verlac, famous beauty doctor, who
has made a life study of the subject
The effect of derwillo method on
wrinkles, rough sagging, sallow
ruddy skin, freckles, tan, sun spots
Is truly wonderful and will delight
and please those who use it, 1t
makes no difference what you have
tried without success, do not despair
lust follow the derwillo method for a
short time and you will soon be con-
vinced that there is nothing better
asL as good or just like it. 1t should
- prenared in your own home then
you will know you have the genuine
article. Unlike many skin prepa-
rations 1t is absolutely harmless and
does not stimulate or produce a
growth of hair.

that ii is sold under an absolute sceei-
bound money refund guarantee in

something new There Is apparently
no fixed method of organization.
Under the news organization each
company has one captain, three first
lieutenantss, two second lieutenants,
one first sergeant one mess sergeant,
one supply sergeant, eleven duty SER
geants, thirty-three corporals and
eighty-four first-class privates. Most
companies are short first lieu
tenants and examinations are being
hold to fill them. There are cap
tains aplenty, SO l suppose there Will
be no advance in first lieutenants for
some time, unless we get over and
they kill bunch. There are plen-
ty of reserve officers here from cap
tain down. Some are good and some
are noe.
We drill eight hours a day except
Wednesday, we are off in the at
ternoon; Saturday afternoon off, and
all day Sunday. Officers attend
schools and lectures on Wednesday
afternoon and sometimes Saturday
We have an officers school every
evening from 6:30 to 1880 except
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday,
and as soon as that is over have nom
commissioned officers school till at
least S:30. BY that time you are
ready to hit the hay.
Just now we have a cold spell
here and my hands are so cold l can
hardly hold the pen. Cold spells
here only last a couple of days,
though.
1t might be interesting to know
that Company l, before the breaking,
took out over $4,000 in Liberty
Bonds. This in addition to the many
allotments that the men made pre-
viously to depentants and families
af nf
who came away are not saving from
$500 to $500 of their wages, there
by setting an example for the people
back home.
There is quite a colony of Harris
burg women here. Among whom
are: Mrs Finney, Mrs. BetZ, Mrs
Jenkins, the Bassler family of three,
Mrs. Trullinger, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs.
Astrich, daughter and Eleanor Cope
lin, Mrs. Kinter and a great number
of enlisted mems wives.
There is a report here that all
officers will be paid service pay. That
will mean a big increase for most
Harrisburgers; as all of them are
men with long service. For exam
pie, if it were true / would get 500
month increase. Too good to be
true. Mr. Meek could explain how
that is operated if you don't under
stand.
Each Company here is required by
a regimental order to have foot
ball team and play at least one game
a week. The squad numbering 20
men is excused from drill at 4:3O
each afternoon and from retreat roll
call to practice. ] am coaching the

Dearest Family:
Three of fathers letters have
come through. September 3. and
IL and ] was certainly glad to get
them. also to find out that the
cigarets are on the way. ] sincerely
hope that l get them. The copy
of the outlook arrived this morn
ing.
I'VE have been awfully busy, hav-
ing great deal of night work. Three
nights straight and as it happened, it
rained pitchforks and was black as
ink every night. There was always
somebody in the ditch. When a car
goes in the ditch, the convoy goes
on without it, and somebody after
wards comes back after he is un-
loaded, transfers the ammunition
from the wrecked car to his own,
and makes his second trip. 1 was
unlucky enough to be elected for
that job Tuesday night. and didn't
get back to camp till a. m, after
fourteen hours on the road. We were
hauling trench material which we
took pretty close to the lines, and
while unloading, another section
composed of Princeton men passed
on their way to park about half
a mile beyond us, and most unfor-
park was being shelled. Two of the
boys were hurt, ono very seriously
wounded on the head and not ex-
pected to live, and the other had
both hands blown off by shrapnel.
1t was eight hours before they could
be taken to the hospital near our
camp here, and operated on by an
American doctor. who said that now
fer the first time he understood to
the utmost what France has suf-
fered, for the plight of the poor
American boy had opened his eyes
and heart.
Several high explosive shells ex-
ploded in a little woods near us,
making us feel rather nervous, and
later on the way home several Ger
man shells Whistled over our heads
directed at the bridge we were MAX
ing for. The whistle of a shell is
indescribable. and a most disagree
able sensation follows when you are
wondering whether the aim was
poor and it would fall short, or
whether it was meant for you. OF
course if it landed. we would have
been spared this mental anguish.
Last night we all went down to
the Y. NJ. C. A. tent at the request
of Captain Mallet, who read cita,
ton to the two fellows who had been
hurt. and at the same time thanking
us for the work we have done to
help the French, in very flowery and
flattering terms in which the French
are so adept. After the reading of
the citation the captain announced
that the officer at the head of our
section No. 526, Captain Genin, had
just been made a chevalier of the
Legion of Honor, in recognition of
his work. and the work of the men
in his command. He is a splendid
chap, popular with the fellows and

he was cheered to the echo, while
he stood there with such look of
sublime contentment. and with his
eyes moist from the spontaneous
tribute. To-day he sent around to
the barracks letter which I will

ficers and the American boys.
October 10. 1917.
Section Groupe Genin:
Captain Genin desires to eN-
press to the American chefs and
to their men how deeply touched
he was by the testimony of SYM
pathy given him yesterday even
ing. The applause which greeted
him went straight to his heart.
The captain, of course. ap-
preciates the great honor which
has Just been given him, and he
attributes the merit to all those
who have by their labor and
their devotion contributed to his
gaining this honor. But one
thing which he appreciates
above all is the testimony of
warm sympathy which wis given
him last night. He was too
much moved to thank the men
at the time. but he desires to
do so to-day.
He realizes that you have but
a short time to serve under his
command, but he is persuaded
that you will have much at heart
the accomplishment of your duty
as a good American and a good
soldier
In order to encourage you he
is begging to announce that he
has Just had made a diploma
which will be given at the end
of their enlistment to all those
who have done their duty to
the satisfaction of their chefs.
When they have returned to
their homes in America this
diploma will show to their fam
lilies that they have behaved like
good soldiers of liberty and
civilization.

the diploma will be fine souvenir

by q terrific cannonading, which
scared me half to death, for
thought they were aerial bombs from

they were getting nearer. Nothing
