Dear Herald:
Il received your welcome paper
to-day. and here S hoping that ]
never miss an issue of it. We
Nczpcrcc boys can see by the pa
per that we drill twice as much
Is our friend Nolen Hollan. We
drill eight hours a day with the
exception of Wednesday after
noon and Saturday and Sunday.
We have been in the army long
enough 10 have our right arms
loughened BY saluting officers. so
We don't mind it any more. We
have the best camp on earth fine
climate and a beautiful place.
While the town of Charlotte is
something like the town Nolen
spoke of. The buildings here are
all old style, but it is a busy place.
There are 400 cotton mills near
Charlotte. Above all things the
yellow dirt was a great surprise
to most of the Nezperce boys, as
we were used to good, old black
soil, which cannot be beat any
where.
With kindest regards,
Carroll l.. Rowe.

 pr. Cobb spoke at length with refer ence to the flushing ot mains and the muddy condition of the water ut times especially after the cleaning of the reservoir.
 Dr. Black: This is the first meeting of the new Pubic Health Council which has greater powers and more available resources for looking after the water supply of the state Since the first of October we have had funds to employ futl-time sanitary engineers and it is the intent of the Department of Health. of which the Public Health Council is the executive body, to keep nnder supervision all water supplies of the state, and of course in that pro cedure the proper flushing of mains will come to our attention.
 MT. Lyles stated tbut the mains are flushed regularly twice year, and that the muddy condition of the water which Dr. Cobb spoke of was probably due to the fact that we had very heavy rain at that time and as the banks of the reservoir are of clay it had probably washed in, which could in no way be helped. He also stated that any samples of water taken were taken by Dr. Lee himself, and he never knew when they were 10 be taken.

The ninth verse of the fourth chap ter of Ezekiel reads as follows: "Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof"
 In the thirteenth century David Kimchi, the commentator, wrote: "The prophet thus warns the disobedient children of Israel that, during the siege of Jerusalem, they will not long CT be able to make their bread with pure wheat, but they will have to mix it with all kinds of grain and vegeta- bles with which four Is not made, un- less extreme need makes it necessary to do so." t-.-
 War bread in Europe Is now made according to the recipe of Ezekiel. rsut 1t is not baked with the same kind If fuel. For particulars see Ezekiel 4: 12.
