WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because Of limited room ON the
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage of soldiers. However, since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure to our boys,
the American Red Cross Is arranging
for as~large freight shipments OF these
as possible to be distributed through
it's Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
buYly soldier boy was as pleased as
punch over some simple puzzle that,
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another instance is told of a
soldier, COY who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and dirt and with
not even as much as toothbrush In
his possession. When he was handed
a comfort kit with comb, brush and
even a toothbrush his Joy knew no
bounds, and he imU ediately made
mental allotment from his next pay
day to go to the American Red Cross.
which had proved his friend In his
hour of need.

of the rise of the medium tides and

which there is no ebb and How tide, is
taken at the limit of the soil that is
so affected by the water as to be
marked with a nature and vegetation
distinct from that Of the banks

GERMANS GLOATING OVER THE
SINKING OF TUSCANIA.

German newspapers are y gloating
over "the psychological effect
which they expect the sinking of
the Tuscania must produce in
America.
The Koelnische Volks Zeitung
says the event must unfailingly
dampen the spirit or Americans
and proceeds:
"Sundry American vessels, some
with munitions and perhaps a small
number of soldiers, have been sunk
before, but so far as we know this
is the first case of big transport
with a considerable number of
troops aboard falling victim to our
U-boats Maybe large sized trans
ports have never or rarely so far
crossed, for the American forces in
France are not yet very large.
"As such vessels must be con-
voyed with great care, our U-boats'
achievement is all the more re-
markable and gratifying"

STRAWS SHOW WHICH WAY
THE WIND BLOWS.

There is an old and very trite
saying that "Straws show which
way the wind blows" This old
saying is very applicable at the pres
ent time to the printing trades,
when customer thinks he is be-
ing charged an excessive price for
job of work in which the first
cost is almost entirely taken up in
the matter of paper stock.
The following card, received just
few days ago from one Of the
Cincinnati paper houses, one of the
largest concerns of its kind in the
United States, shows which way
the wind is blowing, and tends to
point out to the observant and rea-
sonable business man the fact that
the stringent conditions in the pa
per market brought about by war
conditions, has by no means yet
passed. The card is as follows:
lowing to the very unusual con-
ditions at the present time, all pa.
per manufacturers have withdrawn
prices on account of the increased
cost of production. Consequently
we are forced to withdraw all
prices.
1--WE still require several days to
revise prices. based on to-day's
costs, and until this is accomplish
ed, we are of necessity obliged to
ask you to request quotations on
all your requirements"
3 All this may have a merely tech
+nical sound to the INITIATED, but to
the man whose capital is invested
in the printing business it means
more than that. 1t means that he
must get more for his work in or
der to come out even or to make a
fair profit. And yet the consumer
can not understand why prices have
increased since he had that last job
printed.

FROM A PARISIAN as0ME-
WHERE IN FRANCE"

That the American soldiers In
France are very quick to adapt
themselves to their new surround
ings. is clearly shown in extracts
from letters received here by rela-
tiyes and friends of Sergt. Thomas
Leo Guilfoyle. formerly of Paris.
Sergt Guilfoyle is the son of Mrs.
Rosa Guiifoyle, of Paris. He en-
listed about two years ago in the
United States army. He saw duty
on the Mexican border last spring.
and won promotion rapidly. HI
reached his present grade of Ser
geant by being promoted to the
rank from the lower one of Cor
poral within a week. Sergt. Gull
foyle is a member of Co. B., Sixth
United States Engineers. Sergeant
! Guilfoyle writes in part the follow
ing:
I'VE certainly had pleasant voy-
age over, arriving Christmas Eve.
You have no idea the impression
that goes with one on the ocean. 1t
surely was some revelation to me
and 1 am quite sure that God d.
rected and guided our every mo.
ment, or else you would never have
received this little notice from me.
] enjoyed looking at the great waves
rise and fall, and the nights, well,
they were simply beautiful with
nothing but the sky and stars above
the deep blue sea beneath.
'I am feeling fine and the boys
are also in great shape. Looking
out tn window of this little French
chateaux, it is most amusing to see
the dear little French Riddles with
their wooden shoes out there laugh
ing and playing in the snow, which
by the way is about four inches
deep just now.
1.-The climate here is dry and
cold and think best suited for
ones health, although 1 believe the
winters here are much more severe
than the winters at home. Home,
my but that word sounds good,
doesn't it? In writing this I have
been assisted by friend who has
kindly held the good old-fashioned
f1ash-light so that / could see what
] was trying to write.
Went to mass last Sunday in the
Quaintest little French chapel.
haven't seen a frame building since
coming here. All the boys are do
ing fine, and as for myself, well,
never in all my life felt better nor
enjoyed a better appetite, but this
sort of weather always did agree
with me. The farmers here live il
little villages not far apart and
there is certainly something very
fascinating about these French vii
lagos. Bon-Vim is a liquid refresh
ment here and they say it tastes
more like vinegar. The boys in
dulge in the the above named pro-
duct during the hours of from $500
to 500 p. m. The 'shop-keepers over
here must think the boys are ali
millionaires, judging from the
prices they charge them for things.
Why, even the old-fashioned tallow
candle so common at home, costs
two or three fancs over here, that
is when you buy from the French
shops"
