Rev. H. J. Blackburn,

My Dear Pastor and Friend:
Will try and write you few lines
once more to let you know how | am
getting along, | have had the FLU
and was in the hospital two weeks.
and | tell you it surely like to have
done for me- | have been out week
but can feel the effects of it yet
1t surely is bad 1t was a terrible
sight to see so many sick at one
time. Nearly three thousand in the
hospital at one time. 1t is not so bad
now.
All ! could do was to pray, and
tell you never felt the need of my
Lord as | did at that time. Surely God
was good to raise. me up again. He
heard my prayers, for | prayed be-
lieving that He would answer, and
| felt that all the time He would.
believe that he has work for me to
do and | am going to do it when
get back home. feel that He has
called me as | have often told you,
and surely it is my place to answer
the call May God bless you for what
you have done for me.
When have you seen my folks? Go
to see my dear old father and mother
as often as you can. ! know that you
will comfort and cheer them up.
Oh how | would love to be at Ray
mond next third Sunday and hear you
preach. Tell all the Sunday school pu-
pilsand the B. Y. p. u. that | am
praying for them all and for them to
pray for me.
| have been transferred to the blue
jackets and will be here for four or
five months yet. am in traing for
some Office and hope to make good.
| hardly know what | will be. But
God being my helper, | am going to
pull through.
Tell all my friends "hello" for me.
Your friend and brother,
erbert o. Dutschke.

In Flu Medical Corps.

This interesting letter comes from
Joseph Lamar O'Bryan who is doing
a noble part in the war in the Medi-
cal Corps in France. His letter was
directed to Mr. Babbage, Editor of
The Breckenridge News, and it is
printed with the hope that it will
fulfill its mission as stated in the
opening paragraph by the writer.
Mr. Babbage, Dear Sir: If you
will publish these lines it will help
me to communicate with some of my
friends and relations of Meade and
Breckenridge counties hence enable
me to give them an idea of my where
abouts, and the kind OF life | am
seeing at the front.

age coming over, and the route which
we took; but will wait until later,

and travelling different ways, we ar
rived at sector of the front which
is held by the Americans.
| took in all the sights coming along
with both eyes and my mouth open,
and the different types of soldiers
afforded me quite a bit of interest.
Have already seen English, Canadian,
French, Algiers. Italian and Austr-
liam soldiers; as well as some of the
German, Austrian and Turk prison
ers.
Some of the quaint old-fashioned
methods of transportation and con-
veyance, have also been source OF
amusement to me; for instance the
big high wheel horse carts. and there
are a few dog carts yet in use. |
also notice quite a number of the old
fashioned long shaped canal boats,
pulled by horses; and last but not
least, quite a number of the most
modern type of American steam
engine
There were many fields of grapes
as we came along, and among other
curious things | observed some Eng
lish wanuts and chestnuts.
All the Allied troops are working
with determination toward a victor
ious peace; and they all seem to get
along well wherever thrown together
especially so with the French and
Americans, as we find the French very
affable and their ideas in harmony
with our own. There has been con-
siderable activity all along the line
lately and we have been making ex-
cellent gains, as you will no doubt
see. Have seen quite a number OF
nerve racking sights already such
as aviators and observation balloons
brought down etc, but will not men
ton more about such incidents now
as such things latter alb are only
commonplace in this war.
l am in the Medical Corps, and am
thankful that | have been able to
render some good service in that de-
partment | think my chances are

Under these condition the momen-
tary advance of an army and the cap
ture of town may mean nothing.
The problem is more vast. For its
own reasons our command did not
find it advisable to give battle either
on the Somme or in Flanders after the
March offensive. 1t confined itself to
stopping the enemy.
Shall we accept battle this time as
we formerly accepted it on the Marie?
That is the secret of our command.
The Germans have not illusions as to
the value of the success they have
gained. They know we have several
million picked troops forming in man.

eff the enemy had the choice of
ground for the offensive, we have the
much more important choice of the
field of battle on which Germany's
destinies will be decided.
1T will be seen therefore, that there
is no grond for alarm. We probably
are witnessing the preliminaries to a
great battle which both sides wish to
be decisive. Consequently it Is COM
prehensible that our commanders do
not act hurridly, but strictly in accord

For Women Who Worry

Worry and "the blues" are usually
linked together, and in many cases
are due to some functional derange-

to more serious ailments. More out

few weeks treatment with that good

the system and work wonders for any
