Its action is quick and pleasant in
most cases.

Lumberton by all good druggists.
can for our consideration, and without
cents charge for their services. We
don't see how we could do without
the ~" folks, as the boys call them.
We are in squads of eight to the
tent, and there are thirty odd tents in
our company. After staying in one
of these tents for a week or two it
seems right much like home to a fell
low. We visit each other often, and in
way it reminds one of community.
We get our mail twice daily-at
1880 a. M, and z p. m. There is
usually no small rush at mail time.
We all have to 60 and call for our mail
Il mean we all do go-even we who
don't get much are usually about as
eager to be first at mail time as any,
Since we started TO write, friend has
passed along, has just been for his
mail, and calling to US to come to he
door, informs Us that he has received
hearing from home in the shape
of "box'', and gives us an invitation
to come over and share the contents
with him. And it is needless to say
that we did not wait long. 1t was a
real treat-one that we shall not soon
forget
Another friend has passed and he
too has mail, which he is reading, and
asks us if we have read the latest
Headlines" and holding before our
eyes few lines from "the one' lie
lef behind, we read that the latest
ic of
true allegiance" and he seems much
encouraged.
Last night we had real hard rain,
and enough wind to blow down sever :
al tents. We have just had another
hard one this evening, and it is till
raining Our squad took advantage
of the hard shower to catch drink
of good cool water.
We are not on duty at all on Sun
day unless we happen to be on for
kitchen duty-aad this is passed
around so that no one gets it often.
It takes eight for kitchen help each
day and there are enough in our COM
pany to make about one round each
month.
If fellow wishes some extra duty
there are many ways through which
he can get it without asking for 1t.
Gne afternoon as we went to the per-
sonnel office we noticed about fifty
fine looking fellows a few yards out
from our stopping place pulling craE
grass. The grass was apparently as
fine of this variety as one ever sees
IN Robson county potato patch, hut
these fellows in uniform were making
a clean job of it. They just pulled
it with their hands, and piled it in
piles, and when the wagons came to
haul it off. we thought how handy a
pair of pitch-forks would be as con-
venience in leading the grass on the
wagons. But they just went to 1t
, with their hands; and we are sure
that by the time they were through
with their job that they could easily
realize that "the way of the trans
gressor is hard" We understood that
fhey went to town the night before
without permission.
| Well there might be some fellows
hack at home who would like to kno"
something about what we have to eat
so we will say that our table fare
is pretty good. We usually have some
Kind of canned or cooked fruit about
twice each day. On Sunday, they
give us lemonade, ice cream, and cake
as desert. We have Irish potatoes
every dav-some Of the largest ones
Of course everything is not exact
lv like it was at home, for
Mother did the washing
With the help of sister Anne,
But it's not so at Hancock;
It's done by mothers man.
| And mother washed the dishes,
| And other errands ran
But we pass it around at Hancock
| Each washes his own tlnpan.
| Then there's lots of other things
For the boy in khah-tan,
| And though his chores be many
| II NAV make Of him man.
| We wish through The Robesonia1
In thank every one who has writer
us either a card or letter. We as
sure our friends that every line We
have received has been a help to US
and we appreciate it all.
| With best wishes to all,
