months treatment Private Jones
lost part of his nose in the battle of
NGhateau-Thiery and will have one
of his ribs extracted to be used, with
a silver plate, in grating a nose.
Jones rates two wound stripes, one for
gslssing which he received at the
battle of Seicheprey and one for the
injury to his nose at Chateau-Thierry.
He Is entitled to u third stripe, as he
was shot through the leg by a sniper

overseas he participated in two i'm
portant battles Seicheprey and Cha
teau-Thierry, and saw service at

Ga5scd at Seicheprey.
After landing in France and taking
their preliminary training for trench
work, the local companies were sent
10 the region of the Seicheprey battle.
Jones ana ms DfOtner, W1lI1am were
side by side in the trenches in this
fray. Just before the opening Of the
battle, word was received by the boys
that the flrst OF the company had laid
down his Ife-James Russell Linton
had been shot while on outpost duty.
The battle opened and Corp. Gold
smith of Merden was placed in charge
Of the squad to which Jones was as
signed. Goldsmith was killed by one
of the flrst shots fred in this battle,
md had he not stepped in front Of
the local boy at the critical moment,
Jones would have been the victim Of
the bullet. The men were going down
an embankEnent and Goldsmith MOTTO
Ing that all the men were not present

then crossed in front of Jones, and
fell dead with q bullet in his heart.

sed and carried off the field. and for
two months was treated in a base
hospital taking sulphur baths every
morning at five o'clock. For several
weeks he was unable to utter word
Returning after two months to his
company, he was sent with the COM
pany to Chateau Thierry

In the battle of Chateau hierry,
the local boys were fighting in an

mans carried out a fang movement
which brought a machine gun crew
on a direct line with. the front line
of Am ericans. The gun crew opened
fire and the first bullet passing the
two men in front of Jones, hit him
on the nose just as he was about to
pull the trigger Of his gun. He was
relieved and made his way to the
rear. AS they We're not IN the vicin-
ity of a dressing station, Jones was
forced to walk over six miles to q
dressing station. He still wears the
overseas hat which he held over his
nose while making the hike, and
bIodstains can be seen upon it. On
the way he fell q number Of times
due to his weakness by loss of blood,
and after an examination at the hos
pital the army doctors gave his case
up as hopeless. After three weeks of
treatm ent, he was released from the
hospital and sent to the city of Tours
where he spent four months.
Nearly Gassed Second Time.
He was assigned at one time to
duty at Chemis Des Dame s and while
there was placed, with George Beck
EFT of this city, on kitchen duty. Aft
ter receiving relief the two local men
started across a field to the trenches
and were caught in an open lot by a
German barrage. I'm five minutes,
Jones said, 1.-THE lot was p1oughed up
ready to be planted, and one Of the
worst gas attacks of the war had
begun The two men arrived at the
trenches after ducking the shells for
several minutes, and found their COM
rades with their gas masks on. They
lost no time in putting their masks
on and saved themselves from the

Germans Are Filthy.
Private Jones was not favorably
impressed by the appearance of the
Germans, and characterizes them as
the "nlthicst soldiers that ever
walked" Their methods of fighting
are so distrustful that the safest way
to fight is to kill them as soon as the
opportunity presents itself. The Ger
mans did not however, incite any
fears in the minds of Companies E
and I. The local boys met them hand
to hand, in open battle, in trench
lighting aud in raiding parties with
al apparent love of the Experiences.
Jones speaks we'll of the work of the
New Britain boys and their 81 com
manding officer, Capt. John F'eegel Of
Meriden. Captain Feegel captured
and killed a whole gun crew, consist
ing of eight men, shortly before
Jones was sent from the fines.
Seven Prisoners Alone.
Private Jones praised the work Of
Corp. Silas Lynch, who, in the bat
tie OF Chateau -Thierry. retuned to tha
trench ten 1ni0I1teS after tho hove
went over the top with seven prison
ers. Corporal Lynch stole in on the
Huns and took the seven men, single

camp a few minutes later.

maintaining health and preventing the
spread Of disease.
The most scrupnlous care should be
exercised wherever food is stored and
prepared.
Be sure that no germs are allowed
to live In the place where food for the
entire family Is prepared.
The kitchen, as far as possible.
should be bright, airy. easy to clean,
and should have no dark corners.
All cooking utensils should be thor
oughly washed. scalded and dried be-
fore they are put away. -9he danger
| of using badly washed dishes is EVIL
dent to everyone.
When sinks and shelves are washed,
dirty water should not be allowed to
stand in the cracks to draw insects
and breed germs.
Dish cloths and towels should be
washed and boiled after using, and II
possible dried In the sun. The sun
and fresh air are the best germ killers
in the world.
Every place where food Is kept
should have constant care. The refrig-
orator must be kept absolutely clean;
all movable parts should be taken out
of 1t and thoroughly washed once
week. At that time the pipes and
drains should be cleaned. racks thor
Oughly washed with hot water and
soap suds. rlnsed. placed in the sun
and aired. and the interior rinsed with
hot water. and then cold water, dried
and left to air for nm hour.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the importance of special care for
all dishes and cooking utensils sent
to the kitchen from the sick room.
They should be scalded before drying
At the termination of the illness, such
dishes should be boiled briskly for ten
ernl use.
The same set of dishes for the pa
tient should be used every day and
kept In Il place separate from the fam-
lily dishes. II no safe place can be
found. they should be kept In the pa
tents room covered with clean
napkin until needed.
Attention should also be paid to the
hands of the person cooking. They
should be washed always before hum
ding food. After using the handker-
chief or coming In direct contact with
the nose or mouth. wash the hands be-
fore touching the food.
Care should be taken not to cough
or sneeze In the neighborhOOd of food,
especially food to be eaten raw, and II
the person cooking has bad cold she
should take particular care to keep her
hands clean.
Food for the sick should always be
most carefully prepared. and be us In
vitingly served AS possible.
Trays. dishes, tray cloths and nap
kins for the patient must be absO-
lutely clean. Paper napkins are better
than sOiled linen.
The trays should not be overloaded
with food. The sight Of too much food
frequently takes away the appetite.
1t IS safer to err on the side of serv-
ing too little than too much.
Food left on the patients tray should
be burned; 1t should not be eaten by
anyone else. or placed in the pantry
