was wounded three times facing the

not have such mistaken notions but

Sergeant Empey spent the night
in Harrisburg after being snow
bound here while on his way from
New York to Altoona. Because Of
the nature of the address, the patri-
otic one he gave here several weeks,
the fuel administrator waived the
ruling that keeps theaters closed to-
day and Empey will be permitted to
give his lecture at Altoona this even
ing.
Incidentally, while here the SER
geant's first thought was to do some
thing for the tobacco fund being
raised by the Harrisburg Telegraph.
1t was the sergeant who bid in his
own book in the Chestnut Street
Auditorium for the benefit of the
tobacco fund when bidding of Har-
risburgers grew lax.
This book was afterward purchas-
ed by a syndicate of Harrisburgers
who contributed about s400 which
was sent to Sergeant Empley for the
fund.
What right have these hard
shells" he exclaimed, ito say what
the men in the trenches ought, to
have? What do they know about
it? The fellows who stay at home;
the fellows who have no idea of ever
going across!
"A good idea would be TO let such
fellows go across and try the work."
he added. That would let the men
who need tobacco now and need 1t
badly come home"
The sergeant added that he wished
every man and woman in Harris
burg would contribute something to
the Harrisburg Telegraph's fund
for smokes. Each quarter contrib
uted will send tobacco worth forty
five cents to some American soldier
in France, along with a card carry
ing the contributors name. which
may be mailed back giving the lucky
mans thanks.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy. ,
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, S100. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins. r,

boys who had been transferred from the
reserves to the national army, and at
Bridgeport, Conn, we added more to our
company until we numbered 70. We left
Bridgeport at = O'Clock Sunday morning
and had to occupy day coach on the
Federal express TO Washington. 1t was
no pleasure trying to sleep under such
unfavorable conditions and after a few
futile attempts we all decided it was
more advisable to remain awake and be
as comfortable as possible. During these
early hours we all became acquainted
and those acquaintance developed into
fast friendships and lightened our heavy
hearts, and our journey to Washington I!
was one that will be long remembered,
At Washington :se chartered a sleeper
to carry us to Jacksonville and shortly
after darkness enveloped us Sunday
night we all made haste to get our much
desired sleep, but were up early the fol
lowing morning to gain as many sights
of the country as we could. We arrived
in Jacksonville at p m. Dec. II and ar
rived in camp at midnight. 1t may be as

the latter point as the weather here, I'M

but now we are enjoying Florida's sun

We have few kicks, but that is nat

is too near for comfort, therefore" we
dare not say too much.
To those at home who may soon be
joining the service | send greetings; We
will win with Wilson! And | ask those
who remain TO watch over the broken
homes, not to mourn, because we hope
soon to be home again, as victors in this
conflict for individual liberty and for the
freedom of the world.

well we did not gain our first sight OF
camp in daylight. as our spirits might
not have been so high, for the camp was
far from complete and some of the sights
would have affected many of our number.
Camp Johnston is located on the st.

cause of It's size. Camp Johnston is not
camp, but city. We are not housed in
tents, but in dormitories-o in military
terms, barracks The grounds are laid
off as in city, lst street, I'd street, etc,
most OF which are paved with brick and
the others are being paved "a fast as the
work can be pushed. The sewerage sys-

barracks each of which contains about
go men. The grounds and buildings are
lighted by electricity, the power plant be

There are three Y. NJ. c. A. buildings,
one general postoffiee building, with
branch offices-one for every company
the buildings are the parade

These are some of the general features
of the camp but when ! began to tell of .

Ladies' Tailored Suits

Do you want a good Suit value
to finish out the season? If you
do, we have a few good values
left that we are closing out very
cheaply, considering the present
prices on cloths.
We were never so well cleaned
up on Suits as this season. The
one reason for this is that the
trade have realized the values
we have been giving them and
have improved that opportunity. This
week will close out what we have left in
Suits, as we have less than a dozen left
SO If you want one of these values you
should make your selection as early as
possible, while we have your size.
These Suit values are all selling at
just one-half the original price.
