Cholera Morbus.

This Ia very painful and danger

LETTERS FROM THE SOLDIERS
When You Hear From the Boy Tell The Republican
Letter , from Walter Barrett.
Preside, Of 5. F. june u. ls1


Dear Bud:
Well. how is the world treating
you? hope you are getting all the
work you can do. | am having 1t
pretty soft these days. We don't
drill but about one day week and
then not very much.
/ have never told you anything
about the army so / will try and ex-
plain few things to you
To begin with it is about the best
job | ever had barring none. In the
morning at six bells, they fire big
cannon and the buglars play reveine
and every one gets up and dresses.
The squad room is as noisy as bass
ball game every one is yelling at one
another and throwing things around
the room After we are dressed
(they give us ten minutes to dress in)
you can hear the whistle blow that
means everybody outside. We all fall
out with our belts and rifles on, then
we line up and the buglars play as
semble. We stand then about five
minutes, then we are dismissed. We
then go back in the squad room and
make our beds, every one must have
his bed made before breakfast. We
make our beds and wash up and then
we line up for chow which is served
at about six-thirty The first thing
after breakfast we wash our mess
kits and clean UP our barracks every
one sweeps around his bunk and a.
room orderly is appointed. lie
sweeps up between the line OF hunks
and carries it out. After we have
cleaned up inside we all fall In with
brooms and clean up outside. After
we are all cleaned up outside we
have got to clean our guns and get
ready for the drill. AT eight o'clock
we fall out for drill, we do squads
right, right by twos and the manual
of arms until eleven o'clock, then we
come in and clean up for dinner.
We have dinner at twelve o'clock.
After dinner we rest until one o'clock
then we turn out and drill until four.
At four we come and get ready FOR
retreat. At four-thirty first call for
retreat is sounded and every one falls
out with rifles and the roll is called,
and believe me you had better be
there. Then retreat is played and
we salute the flag. You ought to see
us. At five we have supper and then
we are off until six in the morning,
We have to sign book every time
we go out so that they Will know
where we are at. This is the regu-
lar rutine of our work, but we don't
do this very often. We lay around
and don't hardly do anything.
Every Saturday we have inspection
of quarters, so today friday we
are cleaning up good. We mop the
floors and wash windows, clean our
guns and son on. Our guns have
to be just as clean as whistle, not
spot of rust or dirt must be found
on them or we catch the dickens or
maybe ten days K. P.
Well Hankie it's sure the lie for
me and ! am just as happy as
bird. I wouldn't come home II
could.
Well | guess / will ring OF for
today and go wash my belt.
washed all my clothes yesterday. L
washed five suits of underwear and
two towels, six pair socks and
shirt. that was quite a job, but 1t

Camp Lewis, June 10, 1918.

My Dear Little Cousins:
received your letter yesterday
and Was sure glad to hear from you.
/ wish you were all down here now.
Barns Circus is in camp. IL you were
here we would all go to the circus.
/ was down yesterday and watched
them unload the animals. They have
got all kinds of them. They have
elephants and camels, hyenas, zebras,
llamas, and Shetland ponies. They
put up their tents at Green Park.
We had a fire here few days
ago. A cigar store burned down.
We were called out of our barracks
and lined up at 1880 In the morning
and the roll called to see II we were
all there. We could see the fire plain
from where we were. We are only
about 3 blocks from Green Park
since we moved out of the depot bri-
gade. got letter from your uncle
Henry from Camp Cody, New Mexico.
l answered yesterday. 1t came quite
a few days ago but was not trans
ferred to the 361st until few days
ago. l also got letter from your
aunt Alice in So. Dakota
was down and watched the guard
mount Friday It is quite a cere-
mony. The band played for them and
they march up to the adjutant in
squads. They have to be dressed up
in their best clothes and they have
their rifles nice and shiny. They are
inspected and the neatest one
picked out for officers orderly.
Our company mounted guard Friday.
Captain Corners was officer of the
day.
All OF our battalion is out on a
hike now. They left at noon today.
They will be gone for about three
days. got out going on the hike
because 80 of us were taking lessons
in gas. We have our gas masks and
march down the parade grounds and
practice putting on our masks In the
quickest time possible. The time
allowed for putting 1t on Is 6 seconds.
Sometimes we get 1t on In that time
and sometimes we don't. The mask
is a canvas case and sings over the
shoulders with sling. 1t Is covered
with flap that is butoned over the
top. 1t has rubber mask that fits
over the face and mouthpiece that
fits the mouth, also a clip that
pinches the nose SO that man must
breathe through his mouth. The air
that he breathes comes through a
filter and out,through valve in the
tube. He must learn to drill, work
or shoot or anything else with his
mask on When the sergeant yells
gas he must unbutton the flap
over the case and take his hat off
and adjust the mask to his face and
get the mouth and nosepiece on in
six seconds. / did 1t once today in
Az seconds. That is pretty fast work
don't you think?
Well, 1t is nearly time for taps and
I will have to quit for this time.
Hoping you are all well.~ I am get
ting along fine. / mean my letters
for all of you. No matter which
one I address them to. / can only
address them to one of you. Hoping
to hear from you soon. | receive
your papers nearly every day and
am mighty glad to get them.
Well good by,

REVERE.

o. stainless soul, thee | adore;
prize the memory more and NOR
OF thy exalted life.
Thy chosen words were always kind
To cheer, to light, to guide the mint
Through this dark vale of strife.
There were some wise, and many
strong,
That sailed with thee life's voyag,
along,
So few there, so pure,
Thy every act was full of grace
| And heven opened in thy face;
| No vice woulds't thou endure.
| o. honest soul, so clothed with light,
So. free from fear, so strong in right,
As not to know alarm.
The righteous armor by them worn
Would this earth's camps and courts
adorn,
And save the weak from harm.
No vain prescriptions could'st thou
brook,
Nor falsehoods written in book,
Though it be called divine
The creed peculiar to myself
Thou did'st not find on any shelf
OF books however fine.
Thy faith was in the God unknown,
But not in Gods men call their own
For worldly, selfish gains.
1t was quite evident to thee
That men-made gods do not agree
They cause troubles and pains.
On this with kindness thou did'st look
And read from Natures open book.
The time may not arrive
When men shall feel and act alike,
For some must scheme while others
strike,
But all must ever strive.
As birds must sing and snakes must
hiss,
The fierce must fight, the mild may
kiss
In Natures lively game.
Some unknown power hath all things
made
In endless moulds Of varied grade
No creature is to blame.

The average druggist is probably
somewhat surprised to know that he
must have a United States license for
the sale Of explosives. Such re-
quirement has been found necessary
by the government. Many of the
drugs commonly sold in the stores
are also used as ingredients of ex-
plosives. If no restrictions were plac-
ed on the sale of drugs the man who
could not get explosives directly could
buy the materials at the drug store
and make the explosives himself. I'm
der the law druggists will be required
to keep a record of each sale of GER
tain drugs above a certain small
amount.

when | tell you have been re
lieved of three years awful suffering
and have actually gained twenty-five
pounds in weight, besides, you car

statement made by Tom McClcnnon OF
1918 Grama street, FL Paso, Texas,
recently.

continued, "and it's the first time in

Though there are brutes in human
shapes,
! Yet Nature never makes mistakes
In her unerring way.
Continually she builds new moulds
AS needs demand existing souls
Equipped to serve their day
For what? For whom? | cannot tell.
If it's to people heaven and hell
| think the show should stop,
Because we're wholly absorbed here
In selfish cares and fights. severe,
Simply to keep on top.
The youths at play DER small gains
quarrel,
For larger gains men toll and snarl,
And often they do fight.
| While those possessing wiser mould,
For world possessions and for gold
Do scheme both day and night.
We are often taught that this is
wrong,
Both by strong sermons and sweet
song,
To live such selfish way.
Still self doth prompt our every act,
While our advisors with much tact
Manage to get their pay.
o. Nature truly is sublime
To keep us busy all the time
Developing our powers.
While DER some things our souls must
grieve,
Still it is natural to believe
We're heirs to happier hoursl
This faith is woven through each life,
That constantly keeps up the strife
Suited to time and place.
1t cheers the brave, the kind, the poor,
To fight tyranny at the door
Of freedom for the race.
Those happier hours become our
theme
1t seems part of Natures scheme
To keep us going ahead.
Ii nerves the faithful fighting host
To strike down pride at every post
Till tyranny is dead.
Our worlds contention of ideals,
With flashing swords and laundering
peals
Of many murderous guns,
Must leave us, when this war shall
cease,
guarantee of future peace,
With many humbled Huns.
And then we'll have those happy hours

There is the bright side of life at
every turn Of the road if you will but
hunt for it, and an exchange points
out few Of the cheerful places:
"There are men who argue that living
is high, but they might try dying.
A living man gets shaved for 25 cents,
but a dead one pays SIS and never
kicks. A good kersey coat costs $25,
but wooden one costs 500. A grave
digger will plant potatoes for 20 cents
an hour, but for planting you he gets
four times as much. A jitney to
theater costs SO, but one to the GEM
etery costs So. A saloon keeper
will fill your hide to bursting for 80
cents, but the embalmer gets $12 for
the same job"

There is sentiment in the fact that
California is to supply Northern
France with ~ million prune trees.
These trees are expected to convert
many thousand acres into bearing or
chards in two years. 1t was France
which, in 1856, gave to California her
first prune trees. The prune, which
since then has filled many a gap on
the table of the American boarding
house and has borne the brunt of
