LETTER FROM over THERE

May IS, 1918.
Miss Josephine Shackelford,
Mt. Sterling, Ky.
Dear Josephine:
/ will now start to answer your
kind and most welcome letter Just
received.
l left Georgia four days before
your letter was written. We enjoyed
our trip fine, but they say it was
one of the most dangerous voyages
that was ever made across the At
lantic. We arrived safely and like
the country fine. There are plenty
Of pretty girls, but you know they
can't talk or maybe it is me who
can't talk. You asked me how
spent the Sundays. Well / spent
them pretty well at Chattanooga but
don't expect to see any more real
Sundays until the war is over and
believe me l am anxious to do my
part to end it. l guess 1 will get a
chance at the Germans in very
short time. They will probably get
me, but will die happy, believing
have done my duty before God and
my country. We are not far from
the front and will move on soon.
Well, suppose you girls are hav-
ing "swelT' times going to church
and parties. Wish / could be with
you.
haven't heard from Inez since !
have been in France. 1t seems like
we can't make connection just
right.
Are you going to teach again this
yearl Well, / cannot write much
now but will have some exciting
stories to tell you when I get back
if l ever do. Pardon this kind of
paper for paper is more scarce than
money here. / will close for this
time, hoping to hear from you soon.

There is a thrift stamp campaign
on. This is a hint to the people that
they should adopt "the fine, rare
habit of learning to do without"
luxuries or essentials in order
that they shall be better prepared
to loan their savings to their gov
eminent.

PATRIOTIC FOODS
Combination Mullins

Method of Mixing

Add to the cup Of milk the melted
fat, syrup and slightly beaten egg;
sift the salt, baking powder and
flour together Use coarse sieve
so that no port of the flour is
wasted. Combine the two mixtures
stirring lightly without beating.
Bake in hot oven (437 degrees F.
or 225 degrees CO. for 20 or 80
minutes, depending upon the size of
the mullins.
These recipes make "a small
mullins g of which make a q
ounce serving) or s very large muf-
fins.
The ground rolled oats are the
same as rolled oats ground in a
food chopper. When using oats
mix them with the other sifted dry
ingredients.
When cornmeal is used mix-do
not sift-the ingredients.
A wide variety of combinations is
possible even when limited to the
use of few substitutes.
All of the combinations are good.
In nearly all casesa combination Of
makes better product
than the use of only one substitute.
Mullins containing oats have a
particularly pleasant flavor.
Other substitutes used with buck
wheat will modify the color and
improve the flavor of the product.
The use of molasses will also do
this.

 Woman is of Certain Value.
 Many 8 Woman's back has many aches and pains.
 Ofttimes 'tis the kidneys fault.
 That's why Deans Kidney Pills are so effective.
 Many Stafford Springs women know this.
 Read what one has to say about it.:
 Mrs. Charles FreReau, 37 Westford Ave-, says: ''I suffered from back ache off and on for five years. Every little cold settled on my kidneys and the least bit of exertion caused my back to ache terribly. There were times my back was so bad l had to go to he'd. couldn't stoop without being seized by pains and I could scarcely straighten up. At night my back pained me so much couldn't sleep we'll.
 took medicine, but got no relief until began using Doan's Kidney Pills when the trouble disappeared. When my back feels a little weak now I use Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon make me better. :"

WOMEN.AS GREAT ORGANIZERS
MatrOns Conduct Large National Gatherings With Fest and Order,
 and Not q Man ls to Be Seen.

In the last 20 or 25 years partIcu- larly the women of this country have become past masters in developing nationwide organizations. The groups which they have formed sometimes number as many as a million women. They take great delight in the perfec- ton of their machinery. Much of the social awakening among women, the desire to improve their surroundings, comes from the stimulus and the edu- cation they get from their organiza- tiOns.
 But these organizations, 1t should be noted, are voluntary, writes Ida NJ. Tarbell in Harper's Magazine. They are directed to some purpose which appeals particularly to the group. Each stands on its own feet-that Is, they are not cooperative organiza- tons; and again, they have nothing to do with men. Go to one of their national gatherings. You will see meetings conducted with a zest, an or der, a dIrectness which throws in the shade almost any mems convention I ever saw, and not a man to be seen anywhere.

while Wright doesn't boast about
his failure at the military academy
he takes a real pride in his achieve
ment of getting to the top by dint of
efficient work without having the
usual basic experience at the Point
"Wright's friends call him Rocky
They know him as a companionable
officer. with a love of sport. He made
a mark for himself as baseball
player while in the academy, and af-
terward continued to keep his hand
ii the game for some time.
$50 good was he in this branch OF
sport that he once had an offer to join
the old Detroit team. In civilian
clothes Wright appears to have some
thing Of the swing of the baseball
player. He is a husky citizen, with
out a trace OF superfious flesh
He entered the military academy
in 1882. and was there until 1883.
Two years later he was a second lieu
tenant of the Sd Infantry. He saw
service in the volunteers from May.
1895 to 1899. and became captain of
the regular army in the latter year.
Nine years later he was made major.
Soon. thereafter he was q colonel. He
was given the division which trained
