HAVING A GOOD TIME.

Dear Brother:
/ haven't heard from you
Tor quite a while. Wish you
lVouA drop me q few lines once
"a a while.
l am well and having q rretty
good time. Wish you was with
me I'm sure you would like to
hear the roar Of Fritzer's guns
and the whizxing of the shells and
shrapnels.
We have had plenty Of rain for
the last week or so and also some
cool weather.
The people are just beginning
to harvest. The principle crops
are wheat, oats, rye, barley,
beans, and SUGAR beets.
The news from the Allies lines
for the last few day is very good.
1t seems that they are giving
Fritz about all that he can stand.
You would be surprised to see
the peculiar wooden shoes that
some of the people here wear.
We have been sleeping on the
ground until a day or so ago. I
got SO could sleep on the ground
almost as good as could on a
nice bed. l have almost forgot
ten whether there is such a thing
as a real bed. We now have huts
to sleep in. when we were on our
hikes to this place we slept at 4
night in barns and houses. But
since we have arrived at this
place we are resting very well at |
night. We managed to steal a
bit of straw for bedding. 1t
makes a very nice bed to put
lown straw and a shelter half
,ver it and then put the blankets
m for cover.

Among all the monotonous tasks OF
| housework, dishwashing takes the
palm. in the three times a day, ever
lasting conflict with the family crock

| there is nothing to learn about dish
| washing, but some timely hints may
be helpful
1t is the best plan to begin the prep
aration of dinner early enough to
allow time to wash the cooking uten-
sils as they are emptied. While you
are cooking have a dishpan Of soapy
| water where it will keep warm. and
| in 1t wash every cup. pan or spoon as
soon as it has been used. Add lit
tie ammonia to the water.
1t is time saved to have all dish
washing accessories within arms

accessories are dishpan. dlshclotn.
soap. boraX or ammonia. fine ana
coarse towels, a dish drainer and a
sink strainer. The best dishcloth is
| made from mosquito netting or old
lace curtain material. Cut it the re-
quired size in six or eight thicknesses.
then stitch on the machine back
ward and forward three or four times
with a good long stitch. They are
light durable and easily kept clean.
Have a solution of washing soda in a
stone jar near the sink and place the
cloths in this when not in use. Dry
in the sun very often. Dish towels
and brushes should be washed in hot
soap and water and rinsed in clear
water every time they are used, or at
least once day, which insures per-
feet cleanliness.
After a meal put away all food. then
prepare the dishes. Scrape the bits
of food or grease from the dishes
with a rubber plate scraper. which
may be bought for 25 cents. and pile
them up. putting the dishes of one
kind together, plates by themselves,
with the largest at the bottom. cups
by themselves and the glassware and
silver in separate piles. 1t is a mis-
take to strew dishes all over the ia
BILE and sink, to pull them out as they
are washed To pile them in order is
not simply to be neat, but to save
time as well.

Try This Treatment

All are agreed on one point-no woman
can be beautiful even good looking un-
less her complexion is perfect. and the only
way to have n plump. smooth face and

proper nourishmcnt and food. The best
skin treatment we know of is Usit, the
pure nut-oil liquid preparation that needs
to be applied only for few moments at
night before retiring. 1t is splendid also
for freckles. sunburn. black heads and
many forms of eczema. Esit is made Of

Now in view Of the foregoing |
deem it wise to state that l wish this

not want it viewed in any sense as a

thing is to develop the proper spirit
on the part of interested persons-a
spirit of compromise, and a willing
ness to give and take" and realiz-
alton that approximate justice is all
we can hope for in handling these mat
tiers in this period.
! would therefore suggest that each
of the associations aforesaid, should
join in calling another conference.
This can be arranged by correspond
ence, and would further suggest that
this BRIEF outline be cOpled or printed,
and sent out to Interested persons,
and that time be fixed, and gen.
eral announcemen be made In the

know that this means time and
energy, but these are times that call

earnest, enthusiastic gathering. 1t will
bear fruit.
