Dancing DAYS May Be Over

Miss Monica McCarville has re-
ceived the following letter from jim
mic Forrest, who has been in the Eng
lish army for two years:
Somewhere in France.
Dear Monica:
Not knowing whether | answered
your letter or not | will answer it
now. / wish I could go to Billytown
today, instead Of where am going.
1t would be a lot nicer, think, but
will be back some Of these days, and
before we leave we will clean them
up in real style.
| was very sorry to hear that M. J.
McClushy had died. 1t is sure too
bad | hope Bessie and Willie are pro-
crossing favorably in renting John
MES farm. I sure wish l was there
to take in some of the hops, but |
think my dancing days are over, on
account of my leg, but I hope not.
We had a fine celebration on the
Fourth of July-lots of fireworks and
everything that goes with them.
| sure would like to sit and listen
to your Edison, even if | could not
take part in the dancing, just about
this time. I have not seen Leo or
Willie yet, but am keeping an eye
on all United States troops, hoping to
meet them.
| had letter from Pat and he told
me he was going to camp. AS for SOU
venirs, [ can't send anything that |
would like to send only German he'll
met and that is by no means a pretty
thing, but | will send something when
| go on leave, which | hope will be
soon.
Hoping this finds you in as good
shape as it leaves me, l remain,
Yours as ever, JIMMIE.

Work Of The Red Cross

Mrs. Henry Schenck, Second street
Baraboo, has sent this office copy
of The Royal Neighbor which contains
an article on the Red Cross, the fol
lowing. being an extract:
When an American is reported miss
ing in the great war zone the Ameri-
can Red Cross sets in motion the
smooth-running wheels of it's powerful
machinery to find that boy. 1t may
take a few days or it may take weeks
to locate him. This is done through
the International Red Cross, with the
Spanish ambassador in Berlin repres-
enting the American Red Cross. The
list Of prisoners is sent by the Inter
national Red Cross to Berne, Switzer-
land, and from there cabled to the
American Red Cross national head
quarters in Washington, D. G.
So complete is the system that
when the name of a prisoner and his
location reaches the American Red
Cross headquarters in Berne it works
automatically. Located in Berne is
can Red Cross containing sufficient
food, clothing and comforts to supply
10000 prisoners for six months. There
is another warehouse in Rennes and
a reserve warehouse in Copenhagen.
The supplies of foOOd and clothing
in these warehouses have been shipped
in by the war department. AS soon
as information regarding the Amerl-
can prisoners reaches Berne, seal
ed package containing twenty pounds
of food is dispatched to each one OF
them This is shipped much after the
manner of parcel post packages in
this country and accompanying every
package is a return post card which
return to the American Red Cross.
According to figures set forth, Sc per
cent of the packages has been account
ed for to the present time.
Packages are sent every week to
every prisoner in German camp the
food including corned beef salmon,
pork and beans, dried beans, corn, peas,
tomatoes, hard bread, rice, evaporated
milk, butter sugar, Coffee prunes,
raisins, salt, pepper, chocolate, soap
and cigarettes or tobacco. The boys
are also given new uniforms by the
war department through the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
In the case Of civilian prisoners,
many of whom were taken from tor
pedoed ships in the early days of the
war, food and clothing is supplied en-
tirely by the American Red Cross. All
supplies are purchased in the United
States. Upon receipt of the name and
location of an American soldier in
Germany, the American Red Cross
through the bureau of prisoners re-
lief, notifies the boys relatives in the
United States and regulations to be
observed when sending money or par
cells to them are forwarded. One
package a month may be sent to an
American boy in German prison
camp and parcels may be sent from
America to American prisoners only.
Letters and parcels for American
prisoners of var are transmitted free
Of postage.

Mrs. John JeneWein of the town OF
Greenfield has received the following
letter from her brother, Archie HILL
who is in the U. S. naval reserve
force. Archie is the youngest son Of
Mr. and Mrs. William Hill of Sarona.
Hampton Roads, Va.
October 27 1918.
Dear Sister and All:
At last we have left Great Lakes.
We are about twenty miles from the
Atlantic coast. We left the new isola-
ton camp, Great Lakes, on Monday
night for Camp Luce, Great Lakes,
and stayed there until Tuesday noon
when we boarded the train, and got
here at 1870 Thursday. We tray
eled 1900 miles by train and II on a
ship.
[ will try to tell you little about
the trip. There were about 500 Of us
in fourteen Pullman train. l am
hoarse yet from "hollering," as you
probably know that when there is a
bunch like that on a train it seems
to be the style to "holler." Anyway
we did. We got into Chicago about
$50 and the Red Cross women gave
us candy and cigarettes. We had our
supper on board the train while the
tracks were being cleared up ahead.
We left Chicago about o'clock and
rambled right along all night, [ guess,
for when we woke up in the morning
we were in Columbus, Ohio, and the
Red Cross gave US cigarettes and ap-
pies and mailed our cards and letters
for us. (They put the stamps on, too
We saw some nice country, also some
very poor When we got down into
West Virginia it was the limit-mostly
coal mines. We went through thirty
tunnels Wednesday, and good many
more while asleep Wednesday night.
We went through a part of the Blue
Ridge mountains. When | used to
sing "On the Trail Of the Lonesome
Pine in the Blue Ridge Mountains,
far away" | hardly expected to see
them, but l saw part Of them. We
saw some regular mountain climbers,
or 16-driver engines, drivers on each
side. They are sure big old boys. We
had an 8-drive on ahead of us all the
way. but at the foot OF the mountains
they hooked on two big electric en-
gines ahead of ours and still we got
stalled in one place for three hours,
and had to get more help. | never
saw any of these electric engines be-
FORE They don't have any trolley. |
guess they make their own power.
They are powerful and are used on
the mountains mostly, where water is
scarce.
! In West Virginia some Of the old
farmers use mules or long-haired bur-
ros. They move as though they did
not care if they ever got there, and
the men move about the same. They
cannot raise hay, but had some strag-
ely corn. On the hills they plow with
one mule and turn it all down hill,
and it's a good thing they don't have
rain during the summer, or everything
would wash out. 1t is mostly mine
and a small town, then a hill. another
mine and small town. At Bluefieid.
Va, we got out and marched around
to get limbered up The Red Cross
gave us ham sandwiches, apples and
cigarettes, then we got back on the
train. The next morning I saw a
bunch Of negroes in a field OF cotton.
It sure was pretty sight-the cotton,

France:
October 8, 1918.
My Dear Mother and Father:
Well, | have a few spare moments
and will try to drop you line. We
have been on the move for nearly a
month and are all pretty tired. Had
a lovely trip across the big pond, the
weather. being fine, and we had a
dandy boat.
Well, we certainly have covered an
awful amount of ground and water in
our travel since we left the states and
guess we have still more to cover
France is certainly a beautiful coun-
try and has a whole lot to be proud
of, but Of course they do not compare
with the dear old states. The most
of the country is quite primitive in it's
ideas, but you can easily see that it is
about to take up the more modern
ideas
We were in England for while
and | saw the place near where dad
must have been born England GER
tainly has some wonderful scenery
which none of us will ever forget
The country here is full of German
prisoners, every place one goes one
can see them working.
We Travelled some time in box cars
and were all very glad when the time
came to get out of them The climate
is fine here, but has rained frequently
since we arrived. It keeps just about
the same temperature here all the
time.
We are we'll welcomed in France
wherever we go, and it certainly is
too bad that we do not speak the same
language.
Well, there is nothing much to
write about except the same as usual
Am we'll and happy and am taken
care of, SO do not worry. 1t will not
be long now before we will all be
coming home, SO cheer up and look
forward to that day
AS soon as we are settled and can
find time will try to write you a more
interesting letter; this one will have
to pass for now. Have not written
anyone else yet; they must all wait.
Your loving son,

Hot Weather Hits us
Hardest in Stomach

Keep a closewatch on yourstom-
ach this summer. We need all our
fighting strength. War work
change of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. 1t is so
easy to become overheated on "a
-..azing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us food
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not so much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will Just take a tablet or
two Of EATONI9afte your meals.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-07-25

EATONIC is the wonderful new
compound that absorbs the HARM
full gases and juices and almost
instantly drives away stomach
misery.
Instead of sudden and painful
attacks Of indigestion, after you
begin using EATONIC you'll for
get ouhave astomach. And there
will be no more heartburn, food
repeating sour Btomach. gas pains,
or that lumpy, bloeted feeling you have
so often experienced after eating. Then
your appetite-you know how hard it
is to satisfy in hot weather-eat n or
two EATONIC Tablets a half hour be-
fore meals-and you will enjoy the re-
suits and feel better in every way.
These are a few reasons why you
should start using EATONIC today and
fortify your stomach against the chance
trouble ,this summer. It costs only SOC
fora big package. Your druggist whom
you know and can trust, will promptly
refund your money if you are not
more than satisfied.

Boris Nickovitch Torisotski, native

wanted money with which to buy
lunch, and offered him 80 cetns. From
his patios of Russian English, inter.
spersed with frequent good American
CALCULATIONS, MIR. Frazier gathered
that MEX had Just taken vacation in
Portland after a summer spent in log
gnng camps. He evidently returned
with some of his earnings and was
willing to be liberal to a fellow man in
need
officer Frazier wasn't able to make
Nick understand about registration
cards and finally escorted him to the
office of Sheriff Johnson II. Gross
and A. Boxer were called in as inter

fused to converse with them, declaring
that he would talk English only. To

tration cards when he was asked, per
haps for the goth time if he had regis

own cards. Quick as "a flash the Rus
sian logger pulled dollar from his
