PARIS GLAD TEDDY
WILL STAY HOME

PARIS, Dec. 6.-Some satisfaction
was expressed here today over the
information that ex-President Roose.
welt is not coming to Paris and even
some OF the former Presidents
friends took the attitude that the
presence OF Colonel Roosevelt here
during the peace conference might
embarrass President Wilson.
1t was pointed out that should
Colonel Roosevelt attempt to criticise
the President during the course of
the negotiations it might result in
an undesirable situation.
French newspapers are paving
scant attention to Colonel RooseveIt's
latest statement regarding the com
ing OF the President to the peace
conference parley.
The continued eulogizing OF Presi-
cent Wilson by the socialist and anti
government press here is already
causing some irritation among
friends OF the government The So
cialists are hailing Mr.. Wilson as
the worlds deliverer," predicting
that he will overcome the "chanceIIer-
les" in the discussions on disarma-
nent. the proposed league of nations
and so on.
The Armenian press bureau SAYS
1t has learned that France and other
allied nations favor the participa ton
OF Armenia in the peace conference
as belligerent. and il is said Presi-
cent Wilson will support the idea.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS find REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at last
found a genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore throat and la
grippe. For years they have depended
chiefly upon the old style calomel,
which is certainly fine. but unfortu-
nately many people would not take IL
because of its nauseatinE and danger
Gus qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nauseeless Gallo
mel tablet called "Calotabs" whose
medicinal virtues are vastly improved.
the doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy

Dear Folks
Arrived sometime ago. but have been

not being sent out.
Wei. I arrived safe across the ocean.
I suppose you have been wondering what
had become of me. I am feeling fine and
in good health. I enjoyed my trip across
the sea very much. as I was not seasick.
We were not troubled with any sub
marines as we were we'll protected by
submarine destroyers and battleships.
One mine was sighted and blown up by
our destroyer.
I am now in France on detached ser
vice. Expect to make a trip to the
battlefront this week on a special duty.
which Will be about a day.
Things look very bright over here for
us now. for we have the German on the
run and they are retreating every day.
We are. gaining ground steadily a lot
Of Germans are captured. chained right
to the lannon's TO make them fight. This
is an actual fact. They are so tired Of
war and do not want to fight, 1 have
talked to several German prisoners.
They say they are glad to be made
captive as they are tired of fighting.
France is a very retty country. as nice
as any land I have ever travelled over.
England is also very pretty. 1 have
Travelled over a great part of these two
countries since I have been over here.
The people of France are very friendly.

How is everything at home? expect

leisurely travel through the Alps. We
surely had a wonderful trip and saw

We had seen in all the time before.

many of the peaks are covered with
snow. They rise straight up. bare rock

the uin Of ancient castles. Every few
miles we would see these, situated on
some commanding hill with a village
beside them-the same village probably
that held the knights Vassals back in
the Dark Ages. For a few days after
arriving here we were billited in a
church and the inscriptions on the floor
showed that people had been buried
there as long ago as 1866. We could
look from our door and see the noun

DRAFTED

The Red Cross chapter is about to
make a call for an enrolment of all
of the nurses in the county. Gradu
ates, students and practical nurses
hospital attendants and others who
have had any experience in the work
of nursing will be called on to answer
the missionaries sent them. They
are also requested to advise the coun'
ty chapter of their addresses, so that
in this great need for nurses none may
be overlooked. All cannot be sent
across to France and some of them
will be required to take the places
OF trained women in this country
whose presence is needed abroad. The
Red Cross chapter asks for all who
will come under this designation to
get in touch with the chairman OF
the chapter. Mrs. A. S. Harding, al
one in order to facilitate the sending
u of the missionaries.
