MORE
{. CHICAGO n
DOCTORS co

Two more East Chicago ply sicians
have received their commissions for
service in the medical corps and are s4v-
en- fifteen days in which to close up
their affairs and report at points desi &
mated
The two are. Or. r p Tale, county
health physician, First National Bank
building. and Or. D. R. Johns. who be-
sides having a large general practice is
physician and surgeon for the Interstate
Iron and Steel Co. and the Hubbard Steel
Co.
To the citizenship OF the community it
seems mighty unfortunate that The num-
Der of doctors ia the city is thus deci-
mated at a time when so much local
service is needed.
1t is well known that every available
doctor in the county is working prac-
ticaly night and day in an effort to keep
down the ravages Of the influenza and
even with this great effort that the doe
tors and available nurses are making,
the disease does not seem to abate.
It is possible that an appeal will be
made to the war department to give
these physicians a respite from service
until this epidemic is under control.
DR.. Hale has been assigned to duty at
Fort Oglethorpe. Georgia. and Dr. Johns
TO Fort Riley, Kansas

When you say goodzby to your son
sr your husband or your sweetheart,
work up a smile for him. What you
want to do Is to give him something he
aan think about over there, and some
tAing he will like to think about. There
@ so much dirt and blood, and hunger,
and cold, and all that around you, that
you have just got to quit thinking
about It, or you will go crazy. And so,
when you can think about something
nice, you can pretty nearly forget all
eake rest for while. The incest things
you can think about are the things you
Mked back home.
Now, you can take 1t from me that
what your boy will like to remember
the best Of all is your face with a
SMILE on it. He has got enough he'll on
his hands without lot of weeps to re-
member, If you will excuse the word.
But don't forget that the chances are
on his side that he gets back to you;
the figures prove it. That will help
you some. At that, 1t will be hard
work; you will feel more like crying,
and so will he, maybe. But smile for
him. That smile is your bit.
will back smile against the weeps
In race to Berlin any time. So am
telling you, and I cannot make it strong
Anough-send him away with smile.

With the "75rs."

My pal Brown, of whom I spoke be-
fore, had been put in the infantry
when he enlisted in the Legion, be-
cause he had served in the United
States infantry. He soon became a
sergeant, which had been his rating
in the American service. I never saw
him in the trenches, because our out
fits were nowhere near each other, but
whenever we were in billets at the
same time, we were together as much
as possible.
Brown was funny card and I never
saw anyone else much like him. A
big, tall, red-headed, dopey-looking fell
low, never saying much and slow In
everything he did or said-you would
never think he amounted to much or
was worth his salt. The boys used to
call him "Ginger" Brown, both on &C
count of his red hair and his slow
movements. But he would pull sur
prise on you every once in a while,
like this one that he fooled me with.
One morning about dawn we started
out for a walk through what used to
be Dixmude-piles of stone and brick
and MORTAR There were no civyies to
be seen; emily mules and horses bring
ing up casks of water, bags of beans,
