few francs, of which they must think
we are made of. by the way we throw
them away.
The people like to talk to the Amer
leans; they all seem to want to learn
our language. We have some job
making ourselves understood when
getting things, but with the little
French we have learned and the little
U. S. that they pick up we get by
somehow. / have always heard it said
that the French women were SO beau
tiful. | have see a few, but if | am
going to be the judge, give me the U.
S. women all the time. They have a
new Y. NJ. C. A. and Red Cross can
teen in town where we can go to get
meals and some little dainties like
chocolate fudge, etc. The other Sun
day they had a Red Cross benefit at
the park in town, and a couple of us
got an apple pie made by the nurses
at a Hospital, and it sure was good.
Also, was talking to some of the nurs-
es; it was fine to talk to a U. S. wo-
man. We have a new Y. M. C.. A.
out at camp and they have something
doing there every night; anything
from vaudeville to a Jazz Band that
reminds one of the Boardwalk. If
anyone asks you, the Y. NJ. and the
Red Cross are the best eve for the
boys. Well, l guess l have told you
about everything l know so far. Do
not know how much of this the censor
will cut out, but guess that you can
get my drift from what will remain.
We get the Paris Edition of the n. I.
Herald every afternoon and so get a
little Z. S. news. | have a Pleasant
vile boy by the name of Scull, also
one from Mortified, Joe Casio, in the
regiment, so we buddie up and have
some good times together. Also met
Norman Scull, from Scullville, here in
camp, and we SURE were glad that we
met. Brownie Sanders, Fred Sharp
and Bob Bartlett are about $50 miles
from me. Want to go and see them
when | get my Z days pass, which you
get after 4 months foreign service.
Received a card from Fred Sharp this
week; also got a letter from Tit
Adams. | have written to the Bat. D
boys and several other of the Pleas
antville boys, but have only received
those two answers. We get mail here
about once a, week and you sure are
one pleased boy when you get one.
l got one from back home this week
and in it was a part of The Pleasant
vile Press with Corp. Bill Biggs' letter
to you. He sure is some writer and
! must be having some time. Well, ]
am missing it now, but hope to get
into it pretty soon; that is, if the val
does not end too oon | also heard
Carl Adams was expecting hat he
would get a commission. Well, good
for Carl, as l thought it funny if some
one out of the Fire Co. didn't get a
commission. Well, remember me to
all the boys. Tell Mark to play the
piano for me, and can play Wilbur
Adams some bottle pool like you used
to.
Well, take care of yourself. Don't
let the town burn down or the water
pipes freeze up like last winter. VIII

Fire Chief Paul Wootton has re-
ceived an interesting letter from Prl-
vate Clayton Ingersoll, with the Amer
lean EXpeditionary Forces in France,
under date of Oct. 26. Everybody
knows Clayt., the good-natured son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel M. Ingersoll, and
will read his letter with pleasure. He
writes:
Dear Chief and Boys
Well, | suppose that you will be
surprised when you get this letter. 1t
is from a camp somewhere in France.
The name of the Camp is Monitor
Chaume. 1t is in central France,
where it rains every day this time of
the year. The sun shines five minutes
and it rains five hours, and the coun-
try is some different from back in the
U. S. l suppose you know about when
| left Camp Dix. | had a very quiet
trip over; was sea sick all of the way
over. | never was superstitious about
No. Is, and will be as it seems
that 13 has been a lucky number for
me since | left Dix, and will be
of Friday, the 18th. l saw a good part
of England on my way to the Camp
that we stayed at while in England.
| have had a view of Ireland and Scot
land. Have seen Liverpool and South
ampton, besides several other smaller
places. The scenery in England sure
is fne-I believe it the prettiest |
ever saw. The English people use
the American boys fairly good They
like to see the colored boys the best,
especially the children, who call them
darkies.
Now to cross to France. l have al
ways heard it said that the English
Channel was a rough piece of water.
l know it for a fact now. We were in
a est camp near where we landed
for a few days and then took IL
days train ride to this camp. If it
had been daylight l could have had a
birdseye view of Paris, as we were
within a few miles of it during our
trip. The trains here are different
from the u. S. The cars are about
one-third the size of ours and travel
about one-half as fast. Expect to
bring back one of the ears with me
as a souvenir for my watch fob. In
the camp where we are now we can
see aeroplanes in the air all of the
time. The things that we see them
do in practice here would be quite a

air all of the time. | hear-that you
can get a ride for the asking. DO not
know for sure, but expect to go over
to the aviation field soon and find out
and if possible, to take a ride. We
have some German prisoners here in
camp. They work On the roads and
do laboring work around the camp.
Altho' in France, you can see all kinds
of na~tionalities. Anything from Chin
csc and Japanese, East Indians, Afri-
cans. Turks, and anything else you
can think of. Some as prisoners, 9th
ers as Allies. The Germans seem
quite content to stay prisoners. The
French people think that the American
soldiers are just about it. There is a
city of about 10000 a few miles from
camp, and we can get passes to go in
Sunday. The people have all kinds of
souvenirs to sell to the Yanks for a

INDIGESTION
LOSS OF APPETITE
And Similar Troubles Helped by zITOn Iron
Tonic, Says Albanian.

Fl got a bottle of Ziron", writes
Marshall Rhordes, of Eufaula, Ala,
and took it for indigestion, nervous
ness, loss Of appetite and similar trou-
bles. 1t helped me very much. My
mother-in-law suffered with the same
troubles, so l gave her dose or two
of Ziron, and she says it helped her
greatly. / will always keep a bottle
of Ziron in the house and will speak
a good word for it whenever have
the opportunity"
Ziron is a new combination Of Iron,
with the hypophosphites of lime and
soda, and other valuable tonic ingre-
dents, which have been found to
build up the enemic, weak, WORKOUT
system. ziron puts iron into your
blood when you need 1t. If you are
pale, weak, nervous, depressed, have no
appetite, 1t is probably sign that your
blood needs Iron. Take Ziron.
Your druggist sells it, on @ guaran-
tee. See him about 1t.

DOCTORS SAY CALONEL
IS BEST MEDICINE

According to the worlds greatest
physicians and medical experts, cal
omel is the best and most universally
useful of all medicines. Medical au-
thorities prescribe calmomel for al
most every disease and explain that
it is the best and surest Of all sys-
tenn purifiers. They say that calomel
cleanses the liver stomach, bowels
and kidneys and purifies the blood
from all poisons, making the system
pure and clean so that nature can
quickly restore the health
Now that science has purified cal
omel of all its nauseating and dan
geroussqualities the new kind of cal
omel, called "Calotabs," is even more
popular than the old AS a liver
cleanser and system purifier Gallo
tabs are more effective than the old
style calomel, yet are entirely de-
lightful in effect One Calotab at
bedtime, with a swallow of water
that's all No nausea nor the slight
est unpleasantness. Next morning
you awake feeling fine, with hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat what you
please and go where you please
there is no restriction of habit or
diet
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist recommends
and guarantees Calotabs, and will re-
fund your money if you are not de-
lighted with them.-(Advt)

BY AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR
of the VigIantes.
What has a tweIvemOnth wrought in
us7 Ask of those eyes that
strain
For a last look at the homeland from
the windows of the train;
Search to the sacred uttermost the
meaning of those eyes,
For they have learned from Calvary
the soul Of sacrifice.
Ask Of the women and the men who
put their dreams away
To glory In stern drudgery-yes, ask
Of those who stay!
What has a twelvemonth wrought In
us? Ask your own heart and
mind
What sslfiess hopes are strong in you,
what dross IL left behind?
Though They may bend. though They
may break the line we hold so
well,
Though guns may carry miles untold
their devil-driven shell,
The strength which has been born to
us Ia this, the worlds red night,
VIII carry through the pit Of hell and
up to Heavens light!
