country which is 'very far off,"
I'm in the finest OF trim physically
and am getting on splendidly.
We have the best of officers. I'm
quartered IN the upstairs of a little
store house and am quite comfortable.
The weather is like it is at home at
this time Of year. We see a great
deal of the country as we make long
hikes every few days. The country
is pretty, with its roads well laid cut,
its rivers, Vineyards, villages al
quaint store houses.
Our chow is good. The Y. NJ. G. A.
gives us stationery, ONE eats, books,
religious exercises, etc. Grapes are
getting ripe and We may have as
many as we want to eat.
The horses are nearly all fine big
Percherons and French coach horses.
Farming is intensive, every acre Is
utilized but the tools look primitive.
I still wash my own clothes. We
get water from deep wells, which look
very old. We aren't allowed to drink
until the water has been purified.
The French people are behind our
glorious United States when it comes
to a knowledge Of sanitation.
Did | tell you about our Mascot?
When on our way to this village, j. e.,
the company, we ran upon a little
French boy, who was living anyway
he could. We brought him along,
gave him a uniform and named him

four ounces Of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; apply 1t at night
when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub It in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most II not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tissly destroy every single sign
and trace Of It. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itch.

stop instantly, and your hair will
