Roberts and Thornton certainly
kept up their reputation as good
forwards. Wiser was playing a
good game until he was accidently
hit in the eye by his opponent. He
was unable to play for the rest of
the first half and Charles Bayer
took his place. Mcintosh certainly
deserves the title of "some

In the eighteenth century the bath
was a seasons event, and soap was al
most thing unknown. 1t was scarce
ly ever. used, or at least infrequently.
1t was by no means an indispensable
toilet necessity. And most Of us can
recall the time, muses. an exchange,
when Saturday night was religiously
dedicated to the weekly bath. That is
why we all appreciate the story of the
woman who wrote her friend, "We
just moved into new apartment 1t
has the cutest bathtub. l can hardly
wait until Saturday night"

RED CROSS FLASHES.

The Red Cross society here has
been greatly assisted by the splen-
did contribution made to the
finances by the Lutheran church
Of Perrysburg when the proceeds
of the recent entertainment was
turned into the treasury of the So
ciety, the amount being $310.95.
This amount will be great help in
the work the Red Cross is doing.
The ladies who are in charge of
the Red Cross work here are very
thankful for many useful articles
which have been contributed by
people of the village, among the
articles being oil cloth, shelves for
stock room, painting, tables for
gauze, a yarn winder and many
kindnesses and favors extended
which are equally valuable.

Feb. %, 1918.
Hello Mr.. Blue =
Will drop you few lines on this
card and thank you for the Jour
nal which you are sending me.
Have been wanting to do so for
some time but forgot it. The
weather has been very nice for
the past two weeks, but the mud
is not very nice. In some places it
happens to be knee deep and many
trucks are stuck throughout the
camp.
Young and I still remain to-
gether and have a fine job trying
to teach some of the boys teleg-
raphy. Merlin Muir and Hufford
are all O. X.
Thanks again for the journal
which is surely appreciated. Re
F. D, REDMAN.

A Hint to the AGED.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any of the more serious diseases.

HELP THE POSTAL employees.

Editor Every Evening: Postal EN-
ployes want Christmas Day off. The
postal employees of this city urge The
public to shop early and do their mailing
by December %. 80 that they can enjoy
Christmas Day off duty.
A law was passed two years ago grant
ing postal employees seven holidays year
including Christmas, but owing to tho
fact of the public not mailing early
thereby causing n congestion OF the mails
on Christmas, the employees have had to
work on that day 10 relieve the con
gestion.
The postOfIlcc, like all other business,
has it's employees IN the military service
of the country. thereby losing skilled men.
The parcel post IS being used ~ lar
greater extent in business than express or
freight, and this, III addition to the great
volume Of mails caused bv several million
boys being away from homo, means quite
an increase III letter writing; also the
great volume caused hy the war work in
all its branches has added to the burden
of the employees 1t can readily be seen
what a holiday means to the postal en-
ploycs at this time, and what relief it
would be to get the Christmas rush
through without having it all come on
the last day or two
So please do all your mailing by Mon
day, December %, so as 10 insure its de-
livery before Christmas The privilege
is gwen the public to put do not open
until Christmas on their parcels Now
