EVERYBODY CAN HELP

The plan of the government
to raise revenue through the
sale of war savings stamps is
one of the most commendable
plans yet instituted. The sale
of liberty bonds was and is
necessarily circumscribed be
cause these bonds could not be
issued in small denominations
sufficient to include the small
savings of the millions who
handle only small means. With
the savings stamps, however,
all can have a hand in finan-
cling their government. Millions
who felt themselves unable to
spare the amount of bond
can contribute through this
channel. And the fact that

THE NAIL HOUR

Sergeant, has the mail come
Is the cry the boys all give,
1t seems as if the mail hour
Is that for which they live.
Mail hour is the only thing
Throughout the livelong day,
That breaks the dull monotony
And seems a bit like play.
Jacks folks send a box of eats,
Joe's girl some cigarettes;
A soldier boy who gets no mail
Just stews around and frets.
Letters from the sweetest girl
That ever walked in shoes;
The man whose girl forgets
Is the one who has the blues.
SO when you find a moment,
Just sit you down and write
A letter to your soldier boy
Who has gone out to fight.
Or, box him up some candy,
Some cakes with tempting
smell;
And never forget the daily mail
Brings JOY you can't fortell.
One of our "Y" athletic di-
rectors says most of the Wrest-
ling these days is with the
mail, and boxing is largely a
matter of weighing old clothes
in pasteboard containers. Some
Of the "Y" buildings have sold
$500. worth of stamps in a
single day and $3.50 worth Of
money orders. Out at the col
fored barracks a week ago ST.
900 worth of money orders
were sold.

Pike the visitors were given an
opportunity to see some real
camouflage. They were taken
within % feet of a road and
informed that half dozen
men were hidden between
them and the road and that
some 30 or 40 men were hid
den within d few yards on the
other side. Not a person in
the crowd was keen eyed enou-
gh to discover the hidden SOL
diers, but upon the sound of
the officers whistle they scram-
bled into view. At another
blast they dropped back in po-
sition and were again safely
hidden. 1t was a revelation to
the visitors and made them
realize more clearly than ever
before.the difficulties of finding
the snipers, or sharpshooters,
when they are hidden between
the opposing lines.

To Live LONG ?

A recipe given by q famous physician
for long life was: keep the kidneys in
good order Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that other
wise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating
meat as much as possible; avoid oomuch
salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and vege-
table diet. Drink plenty of water, and
exercise SO you sweat-the skin helps to
eliminate the toxicpoisons and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inham-
nation, as backache, sealding owater, !"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, erusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This
is wonderful eliminator OF uric acid
and was discovered by DR.. Pierce OF
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your
druggist does not keep it send 10 cents
to DR.. Pierce for trial package and you
viii know that it is many times more
potent than lithia and that it dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar.

Camp Pike, June 24.-Plans
for making an infantry re-
placement camp of Camp Pike
now seem to be we'll under way
the 1900 new men who have
been coming in on every train
since the 10th will be distribut-
ed according to the new ar
rangement. The men will be
assigned to training batallions
instead Of regiments and it is
not expected that the Camp
will longer be known as a divi-
sion. All artillery regiments
in the future will be concen-
trated at a few chosen points
and Camp Pike will lose a GER
tain share of its picturesque
ness with the removal of the
red hat cords and their many
horses Rumors of the enlarge
ment of the camp continue but
nothing definite has been gwen
to the press.
After six or eight months in
Camp Pike, it is not to be Won
dered that the men are glad to
receive orders to move coast
ward. But we surmise that
they will remember Arkansas
and Camp Pike with longings
many times in the future. One
officer writing from France
described his billet as "a large
smell surrounded by four
walls"
One of the disappointment
that comes to a man in the
army today is the lack of beans
as a steady diet. Most of US
heard so much of the move
ment to have the name chang
ed from the .navy' to the
army bean that we were pre-
pared to greet it at every meal.
AS a matter of fact it is almost
a total stranger to the Camp
Pike mess and does not even
run a good second to the Irish
potato. 1t is not even in the
same class with canned corn
or the juicy prune. And thus
is another of our childhood
dreams shattered.

ing much poetry upon the read
ers of these notes but the fol-
lowing lines have gone the
