On Active Service with the
American Expeditionary Force
August 25. 1918.
DEAR PASToR:-
| will write you a few lines
this Sabbath morning. 1t has
been nearly two weeks since |
landedin France. | have been
getting along fine since | was
called to the colors and | do not
mind it for | know that | am do
ing my duty and helping to pro-
tect those at home from those
nations that are doing their best
to make this world a place unfit
to live in and only by all people
serving God as we are taught to
do so will it be made a place
where all shall be at peace with
one another and / trust and pray
that the time is not for distant.
Dear Pastor, | have learned so
much since | left home and how
| long to be back in the State
and in the Sabbath School again
to tell all of those young men
and women who have been lead
ing.a wild and ungodly life some
thing that would completely
change their lives if they were
once called to the colors, and
cross the sea as | have done,
leaving behind your parents,
friends and loved ones and your
home which was dear to all. You
all at home cannot fully realize
what it really does mean to have
to go leaving all behind and Civ
ing our lives for the defence of
our country and loved ones at
home.
While crossing the sea at first
there was some young men who
| knew we'll and would sware at
everything and do anything but
the right. On the first Sabbath
out we had song and prayer
service and many young men
kept no account of it they went
on in their old reckless way but
by the time that another week
rolled away and another Sabbath
came and song and prayer SER
vice was announced almost every
young man was ready to respond
to the call. Much personal work
was done and many conversions
were made. At the close of the
service the question was asked
if there one man present that
can say that there has not been
changed from what they were at
home and there was not one that
could answer. wish | could
speak to all young men before
called to the colors and implore
and plead with them to change
or put away their wrong doings
before leaving their home. |
often think when the dawn Of
Sabbath day breaks that if |
could only be back with friends
in the Cove. And hope the time
will soon be that may once
more take my place among them,
often think of the words of that
hymn. Though sundered far,
by faith we meet, around one
common mercy seat" With
best wishes to all | will close
trusting that the good work will
be carried on. Yours Ever at
comand.

conceive that the soldiers are not
being properly cared for, and a
"bazaar' is promoted to give the
needed relief. The people out Of
their loyalty and generosity re-
spond literally, with the result
that if the promoters are honest
and disinterested, the soldier boys
are deluged with lot Of junk for
which they have no earthly use.
In many cases, however, the pro-
motors are Interested more in
themselves than in the boys, in
which case the proceeds are main
~ eaten up in the form Of salar
les and expenses.
The Government has issued In
structions for all the auxiliary
work it wishes the people at
large to assist in carrying on, and
it will be well for all to read up
on these Instructions, that they
be not duped. Not every young
enthusiast who can scare up red
white and blue sash and take
collection for a "cause' is to
be encouraged.
There are, as we have said, leg
itimate channels through which
our relief can be bestowed, and we
should be very careful to see that
it goes through these channels,
that it may be sure Of reaching
the object for which it is given.

sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce Of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into

A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs but very little at the drug

KEEP. LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young Is to feel young - to do this you must watch your liver and bowels - there's no need of having sallow complexion dark rings under your eyes - pimples - bilious look in your face - dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in. active bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com. pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. .
 pr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi- tute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear ing the system of impurities. c
