FROM JOHN WELSH.

Nov 24, 19l8-Dear Dad. Now that the Hun has been conquered and some of our boys are following him into his own territory, we are look ing forward to the days when we will be back home again A few days ago there were all kinds of rumors most of them of the going home type, but they have about subsided now. Everyone has something to be thank ful for this Thanksgiving It will sure be a bloody world the New Year will look upon but when the American army gets back into it's harness of civil life and starts the new victorious Republic going head with the same purpose that they fought for on the battle field it won't be long before the world will have forgotten the great war and its sufferings. In one way they can't forget it. Our division, the 33rd has quite record. We have fought under three flags and have been attached to more army corps and divisions than you have fingers and toes. We have fought before Albert, with British as com rades in arms. We have fought be- fore Verdun with our own boys and with the French on Metz front It is 2:30 a. m. now and I'm on duty It has been pretty weather since We came back here I'd love to have been with the bunch of boys that were sent to Germany, that would have been great treat It seems we won't be back home very soon and l would rather be where there is little more excitement. I know the boys that go into Germany will have quite little of it. Our division has been taxed quite severely and it would be hard for some of the boys to hike much as some have just returned from the hospital.
 We'll good luck and best wishes for Merry Christmas and bright New Year. Your boy,

ANOTHER LETTER FROM ROGE
 REED.

K. B. Reed IS in receipt of another letter from his son, Corp. Roger Reed, who was reported as having been se- verly wounded in action. Roger still makes no mention of having been wounded, but he gives an interesting account of his experience in battle, having been on the Verdun front, where some of the most severe fight ing occurred. His letter follows:
 Chaumont, France, Nov. 2S-Dear Father Well, Thanksgiving day is here again, and I am still alive and getting along o. K. How is every body at home? Well l hope. would like to be home today, but cant be there am thankful though that the war is over and am going home soon I may not be there by Christ mas, but l don't think it will be more than two or three months. l have just come from the Verdun front. We were in the last drive that was made. Our company went over the top the 9th. We advanced through heavy rain of machine gun bullets and big shells from the German ar tillery. The ground we left behind looked like honey comb where the shells had torn it up. l was sure d lucky man to get through without a scratch for sometimes big shell would hit so close to me the explosion would raise me off the ground, and sometimes almost cover me with dirt.
 During the last week have seen thousands of U s. boys and have look ed close for home boys but never seen any one that ever knew. Most all the boys I saw are from the east side of the Mississippi River. Well l have just come back from dinner l sure had fine dinner too We had turkey, pie, potatoes, fruits and sev- eral other good things. It was the first time l had seen a piece of pie

"MoONSHINE" PLANT
 AT SILOAM SPRINGS
Prominent Resident of That Town Arrested Charged With Operating Illicit Whiskey Factory-Held to U. $. Grand Jury.

Bentonville, Dec 20.-R. II. Kirk, a well known citizen and business man Tn Sloan Springs was arrested last Thursday afternoon charged with op- erating an illicit still and manufact- urlng whlskey He was arraigned before U. s. commissioner Petty and released on sl ,000 bond to await the action of the federal grand jury Tn Fort Smith. January 18th.
 The arrest caused considerable ex- citement although it was known by a few that moonshine whskey was be- ing made near Siloam Springs and that blind tiger also existed in this vicinity.
 For more than a year Deputy Sher- lff George Naples of Bentonville has known of its existence, but not until recently has he been able to locate it. Thursday afternoon last week armed with sereh warrant, he proceeded to the surburban home of MT. Kirk at the south end of town and searched the premises.
 In the kitchen of the Kirk home Naples found behind a cloth screen about 250 gallons of mash ready to dlstill This amount of mash, said the revenue officer present would make about 50 gallons of whiskey, which could be made in ten or twelve hours. Two hundred gallons of ci- der was also found ready to make in- to applejaek.
 In small building attached to the smokehouse was found fifty gallon tank which was connected to steam boiler and used in cooking the mash. Only quart or so of whiskey was found on the whole premises.
 At the trial large number of wit nesses were examined and Kirk testi- fled that the plant was used for cook ing feed for his stock He was de- tended by Attorney Vol Walker. Kirk is reputed to be worth from S50,000 to $75,000.

One Million Consumptives in the
 United States.

Then you consider this a serious menace" was asked. Tn my opinion 1t is, though 1 hasten to add it Is dis tinctly one against which the people can guard So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis in the United States There k unfortunately no complete census available to show ex- actly the number of tuberculouS per sons in each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the dis ease reportable In New York city, where reporting has been in force for many years. over 35,000 cases of tu- berculosiS are registered with the De partment of Health: Those familiar with the situation believe that the ad- di n of anrecognized and unreported cases would make the number nearer 10000 Tine very careful health sur vey conducted during the past two years in Birmingham, Mass, revealed POO cases of tuberculosis i'll T popula- lion of approximately 15,o00. If these proportions hold true for the United StareS as whole they would indicate that about one in every hundred per sons is tubercuIous. Each of these constitutes source of danger to be guarded against"

Danger Signs.

The Surgeon General warned espe- cially against certain danger signs, such as decline and "colds which hang on.
 These. he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis If you do not get well promptly. if your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculo- sis.
