feet high and open on one end. To
sleep we dig a slight ditch to fit our
hips and shoulders, then tar paper,
blanket and shelter and we sure do
sleep; get to bed about ten anC up st

some have found a few boards and
built shacks of them along with iron,
tar paper and tents. Some sleep OIL
the ground and others have cut ano

others are in dugouts.
We call Micky skunk" because he
lives in a hole in the ground where
it's always dark and he's apt to get
up most andy time of day and like
wise go to bed. We do not observe
the regular precision Of training
camps but build our palaces wherev-
er we see fit, generally under a tree
for protection. In fact, our life is
SO absolutely different in all ways
from U. S. camps that it seems funny.
We had a bunch of draft boys across
the road from US for a few days. They
drove trucks so needed no extensive
training. 1t seemed to be their de-
light to come over and stand around

Dear Sister and ALI
How are all you folks back home?
I hope you are all well. This leaves
me just the same as usual and you
know how that is. Received your let
ter yesterday. How is the weather
back there? Suppose it is quite hot.
1t is not that here for it is too cool
to sleep good this time of the year.
l have been wearing my sweater most
of the time so you a imagine how
cool it is. I get quite a few letters
now. Tell your pal hello for me and
Gee sis I would like to be home to eat
some of those berries with you. But
be sure to can enough for me when I
get back for I'll eat enough to kill me
or anyone else. Tell Geo. Schiffman
hello for me and that l would like
to beat him one more game of 500.
Believe me I'll be back by Christmas
to do it too. We got paid today and
it is all French money. It seems nice
to have a pay day for we can always
find a place for it. How are the
crops? l hope fine as l have not seer
any since l arrived in France. l sure
will be back for Christmas so you
can prepare already. I have been in
the trenches several times. Henry
and | are together yet.

Well mother dear suppose you are

that / am in the base hospital way

very about me because I am getting
along fine and dandy. | was only
slightly wounded on my forehead AMI
hands from s%hrapnel. 1t didn't hurt
very much either. / was wounded on
the Chateau Thierry front. 1t can't
be called that any more because we
are just driving the dickens out OF
them. I guess the old kaiser can see
his finish pretty soon. I am feeling
fine and they sure treat a fellow good
here. Nice bed, plenty to eat and lots
of rest. We were down in Alsace be-
fore and l sent you a nice souvenir.
Hope you got it. 1t was a sort of
a dolly sand all hand work. You've
just got to hand it to the Yankees
for fighters. The old kaiser knows it
too. On the Alsace sector there were
many German speaking people living
there as the Germans used to con-
troll it. They talked both German and
French. Give my love to everybody
and tell them I am feeling fine.

CLOSING Hot water Bottles

The hot water bottle will not leak at
the mouth if the stopper be screwed
In cold Immediately after the bag has
been filed, for the hot water causes
the metal socket to expand and the
cold stopper goes in slightly further
than If it too had been expanded by
heat. After it is in place it too begins
to expand and thus tightens and pre-
vents leaking.
