to Mrs. J. L. Minis.

American Y. NJ. G. A.
On Active Service With the
American Elk. Forces.
October "a, 1918.
Dear Mrs. Minis:
l have been trying for long time
to write to you, but somehow l nev-
er did. will try this morning to
write few lines. 1t is hard for me
to write a letter over here. As you
know, we can't mention everything
we know, and you will have to ex-
cuse pencil, too, as we have no ink.
It is hard to get anything like that
over here, but the Y. M. c. A. keeps
US in stationery. That's great help.
You bet the Y. NJ. C. A. and the
Red Cross are doing their part. I
don't kow what we would do here
without them. I didn't realize while
in the States just what these things
would mean to us in France, but I
know now, Of course.
We engineers have to move about
so much we cant get the full bene-
fit of them, but we give the chocolate
fits when vie do strike up with a
canteen.
1 suppose it is right lonesome at
home now, as most of the boys have
had to leave. 1 would like to see my
people the best in the world, but if
I was back at home now, / know I
wouldn't be satisfied knowing that
my best friends and cousins too, had
gone l will advise any single man be-
tween the ages of Is and As to come
over here and join US, for the more
help we have the sooner the struggle
will come to an end.
Army life is a hard life, but /
guess it's our duty. We had a great

do not think it will be much lon

Of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when l

a dose Of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg

we would soon be up and around

for it certainly has saved us lots OF

Draught when not so we'll saves q

Thedford's Black-Draught has been

Only few of the coats and wraps
for fall and winter lay claim to novel
designing. For one thing, designers
restrict the amount Of materials to be
used to definite lengths that do not
allow anything for merely decorative
additions to these wraps, and for an
other-simplicity is the fashion; the
public generally likes it.
One exception tic the rule that al
lows a scant measure of goods for q
coat appears in the handsome model
shown at the right in the illustration
above. This is q heavy, castor-colored
garment, of pom pom cloth, with a
shawl collar and deep cuffs of otter.
1t is made with the approved double
breast, fastening to the left, near the
waistline, with handsome buttons.
These are square and match the coat
in color, with rims in the dark shade
of the fur. Four of them are set on
each sleeve and one on each pocket.
The coat is straight, but is drawn to
the figure at the waistline by soft
girdle of the cloth. The designer
might have considered the coat com
plete if nothing more had been added
to it; but there was the temptation tc
add the charm Of the straight panel
and the smart suggestion of a military
cape all at one and the same time
and 1t was done. Therefore there is
a long, narrow cape, banded with fur
and finished with buttons, which puts
