LETTER FROM A SOLDIER.
Somewhere in France,
July 81, 1918.

July 81, 1918.
Dear Aunt Carrie and Uncle Vollie.
No doubt you think / am a queer
sort of piece of humanity for not
having written you all sooner, but
things have happened so thick and so
fast since | arrived on this side that
| have been kept SO busy ! have had
scarcely enough sleep to "get by" on
let alone do very much letter writing
for myself. However, busy though
| have been, have thought of you all
very, very often and have wished
each time that | could see and talk
to you all.
/ wish you could see this beautiful
country. 1t is beautiful beyond all
power of words to describe. | have
often read Of France and its beau
tiful old chateaus, but / have never
in my widest fights of fancy or day
dreaming dared dream that / would
ever have the good fortune to see
them with my own eyes, and now
that ! have, they are in my opinion
far more beautiful than any descrip-
ton has ever painted them. 1t is a
very great pity that so many of the
grand old cathedrals and other an
cient buildings have been completely
shattered and practically RACED to the
ground by the shells fired into them.
The people of this country are
simply wonderful-the way they suf-
fer and smile, ones heart can't help
going out to them, they are so brave,
plucky, courteous and generous, and
especially so to the American troops.
| certainly would loved to have tour
ed this country in peace times before
the war, for its beauty now simply
couldn't compare with what it must
have been then.
How is everything going there on
the farm? / wish | could be out
there for at least few days with
you all. / often think of all those
good eats out there and it fairly
makes my mouth water. Not that
we are not we'll fed here, for we
most certainly are, but you know
that the eats in a place like this and
especially under the present circum-
stances cannot in any way compare
with the eats you get at home.
! wish ] could tell you of all the
things / have seen and heard and of
all the interesting places ! have seen.
If / could do that | could write
letter that you would probably con-
slider interesting, but we are not al
lowed to say very much at all con-
corning military affairs. About all
| can say is that from the statements
which the lapers on the general sit
uation print, it looks like we have
the boches on the run at present and
that it won't be great while before
the end will come. At least we are
all hoping that it won't be long.
I haven't any more time to write
now, so must stop for this time; will
do better next time. Am well and
getting fat on the job, and
| hope you are all we'll and are en-
ioying life. Write me and tell me
about Alvin. IL he on this side yet?
And how is he getting along?
With love to all and hoping to hear
from you real soon, ! am as ever,
Your loving nephew,
DAVE w. M0SER,
Sergeant Major, 326th
Infantry, A. E. F., via New York.

BRAVERY OF OBSERVERS.
By Fred S. Ferguson,

limited Press staff correspondent
With The American Armies In
France, Aug. 14.-As an example OF
bravery and self sacrifice, observers in
Photographic planes have gone over the
German lines without protection, know
ing the chances are against their re-
turning.
The staff found that new photographs
of the enemy's rear areas were aDso-
lutelv necessary. No American chas-
seq planes were available to guard the
aviator and slower observation mach
ines. =
A staff officer put it up to the OBJ
servers. The latter said they appre-
ciated the Importance and were wiling
to make any sacrifices.
AS soon as the photographers alp-
peared over the German lines, boone
airmen swoopcd at them, sometimes ten
on twelve Huns attacking single
American. The latter would dodge,
turn and escape, then return.
The unequal struggle continued Tor
hours without cessation. The Ameri-
cans persisted in their job, knowing It
must be completed. Despite the bandi-
can. the Americans shot down two boone

consisting Of LIT men and seven officers
from five different companies, added
to the increasing testimony OF the
shakiness Of the German army Is morale.
1t is no longer uncommon for German
officers to admit doubts Of German
success, which was almost unheard OF
before the recent fighting began.
Almost everyone avows his behet
that the Germans are already defeated.
The morale of the Germans is almost
gone. East of Muizon, Frenchman

MRS. BENNETT HAD
SUFFERED Is YEARS
Was In Bed Weeks At a Time
Unable To MOVe.---NOw
Does Own HOusewOrk.

For the past eighteen years my
wife was a sufferer from rheumatism
in one of its worse forms, said viii
liam Bennett, VINO is employed by one
of the large saw mills at Redmond.
Wash, recently.
"Wheenver these attacks came on, -
he continued, "she would get SO weak
and crippled up that she would have
TO take to, her bed where she would lie
for two or three weeks at time, suf-
ferng untold agonies and unable to
move. Her left foot was drawn up and
twisted so with pain that she seemed
to be permanently crippled, and one
finger on her left hand was drawn all
out of shape so it was useless to her.
Her stomach, too, was all out of order,
she had no appetite, and although she
was just as careful as she could be
about her dieting, her food would sour
on her stomach and cause her great dis
tress afterwards. Her nervous system
seemed to be shattered, and her rest
was so broken at night that she could
hardly sleep. Her arms and throat APP
peared to be withered, the skin soft
and flabby, and she was just about as
miserable as anybody ever gets to be.
For years she had been too weak and
ailing to do any of her houseyork, and
what time she wasn't in bed she was
barely able to get around.
81 consulted specialists about hei
ease but they could give me no hope
and l took her to one Of the most cele
brated health resorts in the country
hoping she would be benefited through
drinking the water, but it seemed tC
do her NO good. Then she tried al
kinds of medicines, but not till sh'
started taking Tanlae did she find any
relief whatever. After taking few
bottles of this wonderful medicine w
are prepared to say that Tanlac is tn,
only thing we have any faith in. He
last attack of rheumatism was all o
two months ago, and she hasn't had
twinge since. Her twisted foot is get
ting back into its normal position, an'
that bent finger is getting straight AM
supple like the others. Her stomach /
in such splendid condition that she cal
eat anything she wants without suffer
ing any bad effects afterwards. He
arms and neck are filling out, and ar
plump and firm, and she sleeps like
child every night She is now able t
do all her houscwork, and she is i
better condition than she has been i
many years.

German Revolution
Not Thought Possible

Montclair, N. j., Aug. 14.-A revolu-
tion in Germany is hardly probable, in
the opinion of Miss Florence McAvoy,
who has just returned to America af-
ter several years in Germany.
Miss McAvoy left Dresden March 23,
when the first Hindenburg drive was
at its height. The people were jubilant
she said. Although they get scant food
and wear paper clothes, the Germans
still think they are fighting war of
defense, Miss McAvoy declared. The
workingmen who used to be poor now
draw big pay in munitions works and
purchase delicacies the aristocracy cam
not afford to touch.

PEOPLE
SHOULDTAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are con
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose Of making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by
the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
| is sold by most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphorie food ele-
ments, bitro-phosphate quickly pro-
duces a welcome transformation in the
appearance; the increase in weight fire.
quently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon dis
appear, dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom Of
perfect health.
caution = Although bitro-phosphatt
lis unsurpassed for relieving nervous
ness, sleeplessness and general weak
ness, it should not, owing to ito re
markable flesh growing properties, b'
used by anyone who does not desire tt
put on flesh.
