Somewhere in France.
Dear Editor.

WiSu yOu WOulu plChSC lCotC
a small space in the News for
lines, that / will write this morn
ing.
As l have been a reader of the
News for a number of years I'll
try and inform my friends that /
am in France, and have been for
a few months and | feel in the
best of health. / like over here
very well, but of course we all
long for the U. S. A. again. 1t
has been nice weather eyer since
we Handed. 1t is very cool at
night but is warm in the day.
have been in the front lines
trenches and have come back in
reserve for awhile and moved
me back further to a very quite
little town. But we are just
about ready for the front again.
In the front lines is not so bad
as some people think it is, but of
course you can not talk or cough
or sneeze as you would at home,
for it might be cold turkey if you
did, as a hand grenade might
come too close for your good.
l am in a good company.
The End Bn. was the first Bn. in
reserve of the French out of the
35th Division and my Co., was
the first one in the front lines.
Co., H. is the company I'm in,
it holds the record of the 35th
Div. first in the trenches got the
first boch. and was the first over
the top.
The French people is so diff
ferent, the boys wear dresses I'M
til they are eleven or twelve
years old and they wear wooden
shoes, it sounds like a truck com
ing over the bridge.
When they 60 out to make hay
they take a hand rake, to rake
up the hay. You can see women
driving oxens in a wagon hauling
wood, The women sure do some
work. don't think it will be
very long until their husbands
will come home, and then of
course we will be ready to come
back to the good U. S. A.
I noticed in the News that
quite a number of boys register:

soon be over and help finish this
fuss and we will get toI come
back that much sooner. Twas

was marching in France, with 60
pounds on my back and hikeing
Is to 16 miles aday.
All of the boys had better save
their money and take care of
their shoes as sixty pounds on
their back sure makes your feet
have the blues.
Most of this company was
trained in Oklahoma. They are
the National guard of St Louis.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-H You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

Tha secret of keeping young is to feel
Young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
loolk in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in"
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for caIomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
You will know DR.. Edwards Olive Tab
lets by their olive color. 10c and Csc per

HOW OLD IS LONDON TOWN.
Notwithstanding Antiquity OF British
Metropolis Many Great Build
inos Are Modern.

II Is. surprising, when we think OF
the age of London, and think Of the
tower which William the Conqueror
built of the ancient abbey; Of the Nor
man church; of st. Bartholomew how
many of London's most prominent
buildings are less than a hundred years
old, and how many Of them are quite
recent structures, observes writer
in London Tit-Bits.
OF all the buildings which flank
Whitehall only the IIors, Guards, tho
Banquet han and the Old Admiralty
existed "A hundred years ago The gov
eminent offices are all new.
Within living memory the house OF
parliament, the Thames embauliment
and jall its thanking buildings, st.
Thgnas' hospital, the Natiopd gallery,
SoRh Kensngtou museum, the Tate
gallery The law courts, all the big no
tells and even the present Mansion
house have been built, whilst nearly
all the banks and great piles Of com
mercal offices in the city are new,
although the thoroughfares In which
they stand are very old.
a hundred years ago there was no
High llOborn, no Shaftesbury avenue,
no Charing Cross road, no Regent
street-or at most, it was just in the
making and no Trafalgar square.
Kingsway and Aldwych are streets Of
yesterday.
Moreover such great centerS Of pop

ago. too, the railroad stations which
number about 1000 had no existence
