My Dear Parents,
I guess by the time YOU will have re
ceived this letter you Will be surprised
to hear from me. I Will try and write
more frequently in the future, at least
once q week If possible. but if you do
not hear from ms do not worry about
me as I am IN good company. The
French people treat US Just the same as
the people in the u. S. We had a fair
trip across the ocean I was not sea-
sick, but very close to il. we landed in
a camp in England, but only stayed there
a short while. and then moved to France
into camp. I was only there a week and
hen went TO Portiers to do military
police work for about a month, and then
moved down here, So don't worry. I
think from what 1 can learn here some
of the boys will be on their way home
in a very short time. I sure have done
some travelling since I left home and
expect to DO a great deal more before
I get back. The climate here Is lust
about the same as j. is in our neighbor-
hood-not too hot. but cool. The reason
why / did not write sooner was because
I could not get paper before this. I
guess I received all the mail that was
sent to me at Camp Mills. 1t was all
transferred over here. I got a letter
from you and one from June; also a
card from Jim. but that was all. I
pretty near forgot got one from Ham
mond. If you should see Wagner just
tell him / send my regards TO him even
IL he did not write TO me-. Also give my
regards to all the folks asking for me.
Tell Uncle VIII and Aunt Lizzie that I
think their rayer Will be
pretty soon. ! will write to them as soon
a. ! can. This pen is not any too good
I borrowed it from one Of my friends

Dear Mr.. Ortt:
AS today IS Sunday and I have some
spare time I am using II for writing.
although topics upon which to write are
not very numerous before my mind. We
are no longer at the place from which I
last wrots you. but are now UP front.
The country around here is very beau
tiful and the weather has been very
agreeable except for a little rain now
and then.
We have don quite a little moving and
I have seen lots of places that have been
interesting to me and would also be TO
you could tell you Of them. but as
you know. that Is not Flowed.
Perhaps you know that most every
thing in the army is done By detail, but
the other day was the first time I have
had to battle BY detail. Not far from our
Office is a Red cross station where the
main work is to. Kill the so-cared coolies,
that necessarily collect upon the clothing
of the men in the trenches. In c~onjunc-
ton with this work they have shower
baths, as It requires steam to kill these
-uncongenial friends Of the soldiers. A
detail or forty or fifty men report TO
his station for their bath and are
ushered into a large room where every
thing hut your smile is taken of, Their
you are taken to another room equally
as large where the showers are end wait
until every man has found hts place.
Now a whistle blows and the fun be-
gins. the water comes on and you begin
TO soar UP; over here a fellow drops his
soap through one Of the cracks. another
slips on one Of the racks and falls down.
and just as you get about soaped UP the
water goes off. l forgot the whistle
blows before the water goes off. After
working the soap in for awhile the
whistle blows again and the water is
turned on. but only for a short time and
one must keep going or all the soap will
not be Off by the time the last whistle
blows. Anyway, we all feel a good deal
better even though it is a rather fast
bath. and / like it better than bathing in
a brook fed by ice cold spring water.
You may be interested in knowing that
I met Dave Nelson since I came here.
lie used TO go to the Baptist church and
I suppose you know of him il you do
not know him personally. He has been
overseas for over a year now and !
guess was the first fellow he had seen
from home. He is looking very we'll and
is somewhat heavier than he used to be.
Also met several other fellows from
Hammond and Gary. Corporal Parry.
the enlisted Times reporter, is also near
here. but az yet / have not seen him
as 1 only learned today that he is in
the same division that I am.
The food here is very good now. al
though for a time It was not quite UP 10
standard. but knowing as we do the great
work that it takes to transport food for
an army we did not mind It much. I
often wonder how they do keep going.

Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandrun completely and tnat
is TO dissolve il. This destroys It en-
tirely. To do this. Just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon.
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning. most if not all. Of your
dandrud Will be gone. and three or four
more applications Will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it. no matter how
much dandrun you may have.
You VIII md, too. that all itching and
digging Of the scalp Will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous.
glossy. silky and soft. and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive. and four ounces
is all you VIII need. This simple rem
edy has never been known to faiI.-Adv.

SORRY FOR MR.. HAYS

Only men who are abnormally en-
vious can envy Mr.. Hays, chairman of
the republican national committee. He
evidently feels the awkwardness of his
position. He is evidently doing his best
to hide his feelings. That he does not
succeed is not altogether his fault. He
tries hard. in an interview published
on Sunday by the New York Times to
reconcile a desire for republican sue
cess in the congressional elections this
autumn with a conviction that now,
more than in ordinary times, country
must reach above party. Yet in spite
Of his efforts he cannot keep from say
ing this: Every republican vote cast
is another nail in the kaiser's coffin;
every republican congressman elected
is another stone piled on his tomb"
This does not mean anything unless it
means that Germany will take heart
if the democrats do well at the polls
next autumn. Does Mr.. Hays really
believe such rubbish? Or did he just
say it because he thinks this is the
way chairman ought to talk without
believing it? Any way you take him,
you cannot help feeling sorry for Mr.,
Hays.-The New Republic.

THE SHOE PINCHES

The Unitd States has not yet been
tried. All that it has SO far
done to meet the war has been easily
within its powers. Considering our
resources and our achievements IN If
teen months, we have not much to
brag about.
The test is coming. In various res
poets we can look forward to it with
confidence. Our soldiers will not fail.
In spite of submarines and scant ship
ping, we get them across in stead
lily increasing numbers, and they will
give a good account of themselves
The governments war program is well
under way and win show increasing
efficiency.
But there is a coming test for the
whole civilian population. In this ifs
cal year the government proposes to
spend about as much as the richest
foreign nation at war spent in three
years. Roughly, for every dollar that
the people of the United States con-
tributd to war purposes in the old
year they will be called upon for two
dollars in the new year. That means,
for all and sundry, producing and saw
ing on a new scale or failure to meet
the situation adequately.
The individual everywhere, in ev-
cry station, must take that home with
him and chew on it. Aggregate in
come of all the people of the country
in 1912 was estimated round thirty
billion dollars-out of which must
come the whole subsistence of the pop
ulation and whatever might have been
saved. The government is asking
four-fifths of that this year for war.
1t is staggering demand.
It can be met-not easily, not by a
mere one less cigar day, not on any
business as usual plan. 1t means the
kind of effort you make when you
want to catch the two-fifteen Saturday
afternoon train or when the hay is out
and it looks like rain. That kind Of eff
fort will do it. Go at your budget
now!-Saturday Evening Post.

OUR FRENCH ORPHANS

A member of our local committee
visited the Baptist church in Browns
vile last Sunday morning. The well
come was glorious and tender sympa-
thy and substantial help was given to
the little ones of France.
An ice cream supper was given last
Friday night on Mr.. Polk Smiths
front lawn, proceeds to go to the sup
port of two French orphans the good
people of that neighborhood have
adopted. The ice cream was the very
best, made by the good women Of the
neighborhood. The evening was de-
lightful. There was good attendance
and a substantial amount realized to be
sent to the fatherless babies of
France.
A letter from the French High Com
mission to America, and forwarded to
us from New York, asks US to work
with undiminished ardor to save the
fatherless children of France. These
childrens whose fathers died that the
world might enjoy liberty and justice
forever. The number of sufferers has
increased with the forward surge Of
the Hun invasion until now there are
over a million fatherless children.
France is asking America to take
100000 of them. The exchange is in
our favor and where we pay for five,
France can take the amount and pay
for six.
1t is the children of France-not
men and women, but little children
whom we are asked to help. The lives
of many of these depend upon quick
and liberal action on our part, and
when the lives of Frances children
hang in the balance, we know you will
agree with us that there is but one
course to pursue.
Isn't it a wonderful work? Don't
you want to cherish the thought in
years to come that you helped the
children of France when they needed
help most?
Just remember that they need this
help NOW.
Send us check and become god.
