Soldiers to Come Home Healthy.

America will attempt to bring back
her soldiers as healthy and wholesome
as when they left their homes.
Frederick III. Holt OF Detroit told
the Camp Custer boys this at the first
general meeting held at the camp un-
der auspices OF the war recreation
commission.
Mr.. Holt spoke from wide exper-
fence and familiarity with the sub
ject gained by first hand associations
with conditions in Europe.
Mr.. Holt told briefly of the dangers
OF soldier life, declaring that one-third
OF the losses of the countries now at
war were caused by social diseases
contracted by the soldiers while in
training camps. And he told of the
effort this country is making now to
avoid this evil.
Wherever you go, don't forget that
besides being soldiers you are also
citizens in the great republic and SO
conduct yourself that you will come
back to your mothers and sisters with
as fine manhood swhen you entered
the army"

1T never FAILS TO
END MISERY OF PILES

Hundreds Of people In this vicinity"
says Peterson, know of the mighty heal
ing power of PETERSON'S OINTMENT
in eczema, salt rheum, old sores, itching
skin and ulcers. They know 1t cures these
ailments-that 1t is guaranteed to cure
them"
Now I want to say to every sufferer
from piles, either blind, bleeding or itch
ing, that I will guarantee that a 25-cent
box of PETERSON'S OINTMENT will
rid you of piles or your druggist will re-
turn your money.
For years suffered terribly with Itch
ing and bleeding piles tried everything
and despaired Of ever getting rid of them.
1t gives me great pleasure to state q At
Peterson's Ointment entirely cured me.

CAMP CUSTER NOTES

Double floors, with oil paper be-
tween the layers, will be laid in all
barracks.
Eight 10-inch wells will be used to
fill four tanks, each with capacity of
200 900 gallons. The water now used
in camp is being furnished from one
of these tanks.
Every regiment in the division will
have it's own past exchange, where
delicacies and soft drinks may be pur-
chased The profits go to the mess
fund of the regiment.
Workmen at the camp say they
are better fed at Custer than in any
cantonment they have worked on, and
many of them have been employed on
several of the new camps.
Bookstores in Battle Creek will do
lively business in books relating to
military life. officers have number
less requests from men for informa-
ton concerning books which will help
them to master their work and pre-
pare.
In the first of the Y. M. c. A. build
! ings to be finished is an immense fire.
place, into which huge logs are fed.
Aside from their heating qualities
that corner of the room is proving a
magnate because of its cracking
cheer.
Magazines to contain the ammuni-
ton will be constructed in an isolated
section of the camp and will be built
of lath and cement. The architecture
is so arranged that in case of an ex-
plosion the roof will blow off easily
and leave the walls standing.
A Chicago firm has made success
full bid for camp garbage. 1t pays a
stated sum per month for each man
in camp and will treat the stuff in a
gigantic incinerator now being con-
structed, after which 1t will be taken
to farm several miles away and fed
to hogs. 1t is expected there will be
rs tons of refuse daily.
Because of the army regulation
which forbids soldier from having
in his possession or wearing civilian
clothes, there Will De millions Oh SUITS
to be disposed Of. Probably realizing
a sentiment which would preclude
many men from sending them home
New York firm has asked the
privilege Of sending representatives

them. So far as Camp Custer is con
cerned their request was turned down
One reason given by the medical
department for the small number OF
reflections of the first unit of selected
men on physical examination is that
only high type of men were selected
and that having lived clean lives they
are fitted to be soldiers.
A telephone exchange is to be es
tablished in camp, with 12-girl oper
ators for the day shift and men for
the night. The girls will be the only
women employed in camp, will be
taken out in an automobile in the
morning and must leave camp immed'
lately after their work Is finished.

Lots of Good Seed Grain in State.

A review by the Michigan Agricul-
tural college of the pedigreed grain
situation in the state has disclosed a
fine condition of preparedness among
farmers for the food campaign in
1918. No less than 100000 bushels of
Rosen rye, it has been found, are avail
able for fall planting and will in all
probability be used for seed. The dan
ger has arisen, however, that Michi-
gan may get but a small part of this
rye, for outsiders are reported to be
taking it up quickly

Winter at Camp 10 Prospect.
When the whole situation is ana

clusion that the boys now at Camp
Custer will not be sent abroad as ear
" as first reports indicated.
For example; You ask bragadier
how soon he could take his brigade
to France. Being soldier, he limits his
answer to the question you ask. He says
he could move his brigade to France
as soon as it is organized, which
would be about four months.
II you Jump to the conclusion that
he has announced that he would have
his troops ready to enter the trenches
in four months, you have jumped
wrongly. He has only said that he
would have his organization complete
and ready to move as an organization
in four months.

phasize the could" in that sentence
It could" be done, just as Camp Gus
piled up as lumber. But what would
be the use? Why take an American
army across the sea merely to train
and impose that vast and needless
burden on the allies overseas food
supply
They can't go until they learn to
shoot and no one knows how long II
will take to teach them. A company
of men could be trained to the rife
in two or three weeks. But when you
have 10000 to train it is another mat
ter. You don't have 1000 ranges and
you can't have 10000 targets. The
men might learn fast enough, but the
work of teaching them all and giving
each man the individual instruction
he needs may be somewhat slow.
