will try to write you all few lines
For the last week we have been
Through, and have seen what we
came over here to go through and
to see. Our Division has been in

work to do.
Everything in the papers for the
last or days looks mighty good
to us. l hope things will continue
to look so. I expect old GERRY" BY
this time,.is beginning to see that he
is up against something from al
accounts in the papers.
Our work is practically the same
as l expected, although our com
panies are a little changed. Most al
pf nay work has been done in an ad
vanced Dressing Station behind the
lines. We get the wounded from
the American posts further up, at

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EvangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangellne Booth, lead.
er of the Salvation Army In the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained In a report Just received
by her from Col William A Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over q year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops
I'VE viii do all we can to I'LL this

discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and tho need

'Ths Salvation Army was born In

that accounts in some degree for the

Dear Mamma,
For the last month I have had no
chance to write letters, but just at
present we are having little rest
after our hard fighting. Last night
I had the best nights sleep l have
ever had in my life, after travelling
for a whole night and day with no
sleep and no time to eat found
little house or lean-to with a
floor in it, in about ten minutes we
had our bedding rolls down and
were sound asleep.
=. Soon after the last letter wrote
you, I was ordered to join Battery
A, the captain had been relieved
for other duties. The following
morning at 4 o'clock Joined the
battery; a new officer in a battery
of big guns almost new to me. !
worked all day checking up on the
& laying of the guns and fixing up the
maps. That night we were ordered
to take part in the first big Ameri-
can attack and I was the man to fig
ure all the data for the guns-in
other words take the place Of the
captain. At six o'clock I was given
our part of the plans Of attack and
went to work, and all night long
the guns roared with yours truly the
imam behind the gun" and respoh-
sible for every one of the hundreds
of tremendous shells that left our
guns. Quite thrilling but a terrible
responsibility when you know what
one of those shells will do to our own
men If misdirected. Since that time,
over month ago, and at present I
hold the job. During this time we
have -been in four or five big battles
and / think that + have made good.
I wonder if you would be inter-
ested, in war souvenirs, such as Ger
man helmets, pieces of German uni
forms, airplanes, Iron Cross, etc.
I see, lots Of the boys sending such
things home, but as they don't in
terest me, I didn't think they would
interest you. The only thing that
interests me just now is that for the
first time there seems to be posi-
bilitH of the end of the war.
have seen some horrible sights
in the last few weeks and some that
I shall never forget. I have seen
some. other sights simple but won
derful, such as an old Frenchman
on a little wagon with all Of his
goods going back to his destroyed
home from where we had just driven
the Huns and as he passed US he
would wave his hat and thank us.
Will have to stop now.

Ralph.

Dear Papa:
wrote to Mamma just a day or
two ago, but as I have little card
/ would like to send to you all, / am
going to write a short letter tonight.
This little card is something like
a permit for the mail to be used for
a Christmas package, or something
like that. Now, I don't want any
body to 60 to the trouble to fix up
anything special, just what you can
put in a package that size. Tell
Mamma to stick me a slice of fruit
cake in.
suppose you folks have been
reading some good news in the pa
pers lately. AS for myself, I haven't
seen but one weekly paper in sever
al days. The things we hear sounds
good to us though. am glad 1 be-
long to the Division that I do. I
think most all of the fellows feel
proud of the boys who have done the
fighting, and I would like to say
just here, that the infantry boys
deserve all the honor that can be
given them. Of course, everybody
is doing his bit, and well I think,
but to my mind they are the fellows.
They are the fellows who make Fritz

move back, and our boys here have
had him moving some too, lately.
Most of our work, lately, has been
in a Dressing Station, where the
wounded pass through from the
front to hospitals farther back. 1
think I have seen some of. several
different kinds Of wounds-things
| never would have seen anywhere
else.
| I have received several Of the
home papers lately. Those sent by
you, by first class mail, and also
those mailed from the Office. I ex-
| pect you may as well stop sending
them by first class, as I will get the
others all right, think. also re-
ceived the State and the clippings
you sent me.
Since starting this letter, we got
! in an ambulance load Of patients to
! work with. They were all Tommies,
and from our Battery. It seems that
their gun exploded.
, Have you heard yet, that Lieut..
Oscar Stevenson was killed? He
was killed in action a few days ago.
Some of the boys from his company
told me in the Dressing Station a
few days ago.
What do you folks do on Sunday
afternoons now, that you can't go
joy riding? / expect it saves a
large amount of gasoline.
Well, thing I have about run out
of something to say so will have to
stop. Tell Mamma when she writes

Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking q
glass of hot water before

condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy 1t is IL one will only adopt the

Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise. split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold. foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast. drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in ii to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening aad purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting moro
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully In

appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water

blood and getting ready for q
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions OF people who are
bothered with constipation. bilious
spells. stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
siclIly compilations are urged TO get q
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
