FORMER CHLORIDE MAN
 WRITES FROM FRANCE

Clyde Glenn, formerly of Chloride, Arizona, writes: q have been here some weeks enjoying the best of health, eating three big meals day and sleeping with bull yearling, only I sleep up in the hay mow, for we are billeted in a small village of French farmers we'll back of the fir ing line, putting in most of every day except Sunday, drilling and getting ready to land the Hun a finishing blow. This is very pretty part of France, we'll dotted with small villages supported by small farms. There is no extensive farming, all seem to have small herds of dairy cattle and sell their milk to a cheese factory. They also raise grapes and make wine which sells for forty-two cents quart and that is the only thing besides milk that sells for anywhere near as cheap as we buy them at home Any time anyone tells you that a1 Amerl- can dollar will buy five times as much here as it will at home, you can be sure they haven't been over here. Why some things are twice as high, for instance eggs are eighty four cents and all other produce is equally as high, grapes are twenty cents a pound. Most of the people in this vicinity who have anything, to sell "see an Ameri- can coming"
 We see none of the style and friv- olity in this section that we have heard so much about. l am having an awful time learning to speak French. The only amusement we have we make ourselves, excepting the Y. M. C. A. and they have movie for us twice week. One night last week a sextette of American ladies and gentlemen came over and sang a number of late songs for us. Harry Adler was with them with a fine bunch of jokes.
 We have half of every Saturday and all of every Sunday on which to play games and do our writing. We play baseball, football, medicineball and other field sports. There are no cleo tric lights here so we have to use candles for light at night Reading matter is very scarce. The "Y" gets a few American made magazines and we get few copies of the Paris edl- tion of the New York Herald, which carries on the average of one column of American News, the rest of it's four pages being given over to war news and French advertising.
 We have had several days of rain since we have been on this side and two big white frosts."

NURSES STILL NEEDED
 WOUNDED, SICK SOLDIERS

Phoenix, Arizona, Nov.-More than 10000 nurses are needed at once for the army nurse corps, and .25 ,OOO more will be needed before June 1st, ac- cording to information received from Washington this week by the Arizona divison of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. The popular impression that no more nurses are needed for service in mili- tary hospitals is absolutely wrong.
 Nurses are needed, and needed bad ly, and Arizona is being called upon to supply as many nurses as can be spared for this work. A recent sur vey. of Arizona showed comparatlv- ely large number of graduate nurses in this state, many of whom had not as yet offered their services for mill- tary hospital work This is not be- lieved to be due to any lack of pat, riotism, but rather to the fact that the urgent need for more nurses has moi been brought home to them.
 Graduate nurses should apply to the State Committee, Red Cross Nursing Service, Box 285, Phoenix, Arizona and women wishing to enroll in the U. S. Student Nurse Reserve should personally consult, or write to the nearest recruiting officer \ in theil county for application blanks .ant should state their age and education when applying. The recruiting off cer for Mohave County in the drive tt enroll 10000 nurses for army hospi tals before January 1st is Mrs. R. G McDougall of Kingman, Arizona.
 No transportation is furnished t' student nurses from their homes U the hospitals to which they are as signed.
 The Surgeon General also offers t' married women between the ages of 2 and 40, who are not eligible for arm! or civil hospital schools of nursing an opportunity for service as hospita assistants in the military hospitals t. which convalescent, sick and wounde' soldiers are to be sent. All appli cants for this service should write flo information and blanks to Miss An nie W. Goodrich, Dean, Army Schoo of Nursing, Office of Surgeon Gener al, Washington, D. C.

ALL WE LACK IS ALCOHOL

A remedy for pneumonia mas been sent out from the office of the Sur geon General of the U. s. at Washing ton, D. C., which is said to be an ab- solute cure. Here is what the gov ernment advises:
 Saturate a ball of cotton as large as one inch marble with spirits of alcohol: Add three drops of chloro- form to each ball of cotton. Place it between the patients teeth. Let the patient inhale the fumes for fif- teen minutes, then rest fifteen minutes and repeat the operation as directed twenty-four times. The result will be that the lungs will expand to their normal condition. In "A hours the pa tient is out of danger. Change cot ton often. It ought to be changed twice in fifteen minutes.
 The above recipe is good one, but where will the inhabitants of dry section obtain the alcohol with which to saturate the ball of cotton? ????
