CARE FOR SOLDIERS FEET
Army Authorities Particular That
There Shall Be Little TroubIe
In That Respect.

How is Uncle Sam able to raise suf-
ficient funds TO shoe his children
we might ask Just now, when the
prices of shoes are soaring almost
above the average purse.
This question was. however. an
sYered at a recent meeting in Attain
tic City Of the American Leather Chem
lists association. which was also at
tended by several members Of the
American Chemical society. Their dis
Oussion on this subject proved most
concluslvely that the boys in service
are being provided with the finest quail
ity leather in their army shoes and
that 1t is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
In their dlscussion-that the army
shoes are made with the flesh side Of
the hide outside. In this way grease
may be readily applied to the leath-
er from time to time in order to keep
II waterproof.
It was most gratifying to learn that
In every first-aid kit the soldier carries
a tube of paste to apply to the feet in
order TO prevent trench sores, which
were so common In the early days OF
the war. These sores are caused by
the alkaline water In the trenches, hut
IL the feet are promptly protected by
an inert grease no such bad effects
result.
Thus we see that Uncle Sam is deal
Ing with the question Of the army shoe
from the soldiers viewpoint of COM
fort and protection, as well as from his
own standpoint Of the wearing quail
ties. The government recognizes that
the soldiers feet are his best friend
and 1t is doing everything to help to
keep them so.

CHAPTER vI-contlnued.

The lieutenant came back with the
stretcher bearers and he asked one Of
them, so the boy could not hear him, II
the boy would live.
The stretcher bearer said: 81 don't
think so. One through his chest and
right leg broken"
The boy had kept quiet for n while,
but all Of a sudden he yelled, Give me
a cigaretter' I handed him a ciga-
rette butt that had found in the dug
out. We were all out of cigarettes.
So they lit Il for hm and he kept
quiet. As soon as they could they got
around the corner of the fire bay with
him and through communication

tenant and I walked n little way with
him and he began to thank us. and he
told the lieutenant, "Old man, you
have been a father and a mother to
me-"
And the lieutenant said to him :
you have done well. old boy. You
have done more than your share"
When they started into the cOmmu-
nicatiOn trench the boy began TO
scream again. And the lieutenant
acted like a wild man. He took out
his cigarette case, but there were no
cigarettes in II, and then he swore and
put Il back again. But in a few min
utes he had the case out again and
was swearing worse than ever and
talking to himself.
''The boy isn't dying like a gentle
man." he said. "Why couldn't he keep
quiet" / do not think he meant 1t,
He was all nervous and excited and
kept taking out his cigarette case and
putting IL back again.
The other officer had gone on to in
spect the sentries when the boy rolled
into the trench and a poilu came up
to tell us that the officer had been hit.
We walked back 20 where I had been

us. But you cannot scare machine
guns nor the foreign legion either. SO
when they could not scare us they
were up against it and had to fight.

II was In this charge that our chap
lain was put out of commission. As
we were lined up, waiting to climb on
to the fire step and then over the par
apet, this chaplain came down the
line speaking 10 each man as he went.
He would not say much, but just
few words, and then make the sign of
the cross. He was in n black cassock.
He was Just one man from me as
we got the word and stood up on the
fire step. He was not armed with as
much as a pin, but he jumped up on
the step and stuck his head over the
parapet and got II square. landing
right beside me. l thought he was
killed, but when we got back we found
he was only wounded. The men who
saw 1t were over the parapet before
the order was given and then the
whole bunch after them, because they,
too, thought he was killed and figured
he never would know how they came
out about their vows. All the men in
the company were glad when they
found he was only wounded.
While half of us were on the firing
step throughout the day or night the
other half would be in the dugOuts or
sitting around In the bottom of the
trench. playing little games. or mend

doing a thousand and one things. The
men were always in good humor at
such times and II seemed TO me even
