Somewhere in France" Dec18, IT.
Dear Mama -
l received a few minutes ago three
letters from you, which l enjoyed
very much, and also a box of Mitch
ellis candy, sent by you while in
Nashville, in October, and the knitted
garments, including sweater, helmet,
wristlets and three pair of socks.
This is the second set of knitted arti-
cles / have received from you. /
wrote you twice that l had received
the others and suppose you got
the letters. You don't know how
much your thoughtfulness of me and
my comfort means to me. l don't
think that any mother ever loved a
son as you do me and the other boys,
and l and they return your love as
much as is in our power. know it
must be very lonely for you at
home. am glad Harry is there with
you. I'm sure there is no danger of
his ever having to go to war. The
candy was mighty good and remark
ably fresh, and / enjoyed it very
much, so did the other Tennessee
boys and our new French instructor,
who happened in just in time to eat
about ten pieces. lmean the French
man ate about ten pieces-the others
did not eat much. l don't believe
the poor man had had anything like
that to eat in long time. A French
1st lieutenant gets only about $50
a month and must buy his own cloth
ing. Besides, there is hardly any
thing sweet in France now, except
little cakes "gateaux." I'll tell you
more about them later.
The knitted articles are simply
great. don't know how to thank
you enough for them. l do not see
how can possibly get cold, even in
a dug-out. But l don't think I'll be
in the trenches before the winter is
over. Eye had plenty of uses for the
whole first set you sent me, as it has
been cold lately, though not any
colder than in Tennessee in winter.
This morning we went out to the
range with two inches of snow on
the ground and it still showing, and
fired the guns for about two hours.
| did not get cold, though, thanks to
your thoughtfulness, though most of
your kindness, although most of the
others were complaining of the cold.
| am sitting up here now with the
new helmet on, and it feels mighty
good. Didn't Aunt Partheny (black
nanny help knit these last socks?

|DO NOT SEND
FOOD TO SOLDIERS

"The Council of National Defense
desires to inform the people that an
abundant supply of food is furnished
the soldiers and sailors in thecanton-
ments, and that the sending Of food
to these men by their friends and
families is not in any way necessary;
that the aggregate quantity of food
thus sent is enormous, and that much
of it, having been conveyed long dis
tances in heated express or mail cars,
is more or less spoiled, and conse-
quently injurious to the health of
the men. Therefore, in the interest
of the conservation of food and also
of the health of the men, the Council
of National Defense requests the
public to discontinue the sending Of
food stuffs to the camps"
Please read this resolution to all
the women's clubs and organizations
and urge a strict compliance with it.

INTERNAL REVENUE
COLLECTOR COMING

Collector of Internal Revenue E.
Craig states that the department at
at Washington is calling on indi-
vidual income tax payers through
out the country to pay their taxes
when they file their tax returns.
Many persons have been furnish
ed blanks by the collectors office
and some have obtained their blanks
from federal officers sent out by the
collectors office at Nashville. Col
lector Craig states that these officers
will have visited every county in the
state by March /. The collector
urges that all unmarried individu-
ais whose net income for the year
1917 was 81, 900 or over, and that all
married individuals whose net in
come was $4,000 or over, get their
figures ready, and be able to file
their tax reports as soon as the fed
eral officer is in their county. All
parties who already have obtained
their blanks should be prompt. Send
in the report and tax due without
delay. 1t is patriotic duty in these
times to render the government every
service that it asks. By paying tax
es now, you will give the government
the benefit of this revenue and ena-
BILE the internal revenue office in
this state to render the public more
efficient service by avoiding the con-
gestion bound to result if tax pay
ers wait till June to pay the amount
due.
If you live in a community that
will not be visited by a revenue Off
Ger and are liable for income tax you
should write to E. B. Craig, collector
of internal revenue, Nashville, and
obtain the necessary blank upon
which to file your tax return. If
the federal officer has already been
in your community and you did not
see him, you must write to the in
ternal revenue collector and obtain
a blank. Your bank or postoffice
can tell you when the officer will be
in your county, and where he will be.
1t is pointed out by the collec-
tors office that there is no provis-
ion in the law to relieve a delinquent
tax payer on account Of failure to
receive blank or to be visited by a
federal officer. The tax payer must
go to the government. If he does
not, he incurs the heavy penalty
provided by law. All incolne tax re-
turns must be filed with the inter-
nal revenue collector or one Of his
deputies on or before March /, 1918.
If not, penalty for delinquency will
accrue by law.

Thank her for me and tell her there's
not a chance for my feet to get cold

probably receive all my Christmas
packages before then, but, if not they
will be forwarded to me right away
I'll get them. Pm sure of that, un-
less the ship carrying them is sunk.
Last Sunday went to a neighbor-
ing city and during the afternoon
stepped inside the doors of the tow
ering old fourteenth century cathe-
dral, not knowing that services were
being held there. l found myself at
one end of great, dim, vaulted hall.
It's roof was supported by massive
stone columns in two rows that SEEM
ed to stretch away and away from
me until they were lost in the shad-
ows. At the far end the afternoon
sun slanted through the high, red
stained glass windows and set, flam-
ing the altar beneath them. Out Of
the surrounding darkness, the white
robed, shadowy forms of the priests
slipped silently into that circle of
warm, living light and knelt at the
altar. The informing of the service
came softly from the lips of priest,
and then, for the first time, $50
spell-bound had / been by the beau
ty of it alD l became aware of the
people kneeling about me, as their
responses seemed to rise and beat
softly against the ancient walls and
die away at the foot of the altar. All
light and all sound in the sacred edi-
flee seemed to seek that altar as
their final resting place. / have nev-
er felt such moment Of spiritual
beauty and of exaltation. The feel
ing of curiosity with which / had en-
tered had been instantly transform
ed into one of reverence. And that
glowing altar for the moment typi-
fled the living truth Of religion to
which all men must in some degree
be drawn. No spiritual revolution
was worked in me in that brief time.
Perhaps, no lasting impression was
wrought upon my mind for good or
i'll, but, l feel, that even after l shall
have passed through the tumult and
strife and awfulness of this war,
when l think of France, must think
of that moment of reverence and
beauty in the ancient cathedral.
Lovingly,

EGGS WELL COOKED
MAKE INEXPENSIVE
BREAKFAST DISH
Reasons Given Why Fried Eggs Are OF
Less Value Than Poached Eggs.

If you like eggs, and wish to get
from them all possible food value when
you eat them, don't fry them. Poach
the egg, or cook it in the shell.
Fat, when exposed to heat, such as
frying an egg, undergoes a chemical
change, and is very hard to digest.
This indigestible fat encases the egg
which should be digested in the stom-
ach. The fat is not attacked in the
stomach but passes into the intestines
for it's digestion. This is too late to
use the full amount of the egg for
body building.
Cook an egg in low temperature, the
same as you would cook meat, milk,
or cheese.
One may have dish which is espe-
cially good for breakfast, made as fol-
lows:
Bring to boil u can of tomatoes,
seasoned. Place this in a fiat bowl
that can be placed in the oven. In the
center of the tomatoes drop from three
to six eggs. Set in the oven, Cook
until the whites coaSalate. This gives
both an attractive and wholesome dish
and takes the place Of fresh fruit in
the breakfast to be used in the winter
time when fresh fruit is scarce.
Eggs are not an expensive food
when one considers that, if properly
cooked, a very large percentage is
available for body use.-Geneva Con-
way, Division Of Agricultural Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee, Knox

whitewa.h that Sticks.

Whitewash is so commonly used
around he farm haat it is advisa-
bic to know just how to make it
properly. The following recipe for
cement whitewash is made use of l.y
owners of cold storage warehouses
who desire snowy whitewash that
dries quickly, adheres strongly to
cement, brick or wood, and does not
rub out on the clothes.
Stake one-half bushel of lime with
boiling water, adding the water slow
ly and stirring constantly until thin
paste results. A five-foot piece Of
three-fourths-inch iron pipe makes
a good rod for stirring. The lime
will be lumpy if the water is added
freely and the mass is not properly
stirred. Add half-peck of salt to the
lime paste; sir thoroughly; add wa
ter to bring the whitewash to the
proper consistency. Throw a good
handful of Portland cement in each
pail of whitewash and a teaspoonful
of ultamarine blue. Add the cement
and the blue powder just before the
wash is to be used and stir in well,
otherwise the whitewash will be
streaked~ The cement makes the
whitewash adhere strongly to any
surface, and the bluing counteracts
the crash color of the cement and
results in white appearance.
(Put this in your scrap book,
you will surely want it later.)

snarling yell of mortal combat. Arms that cradled the sleeping child: that held the trusting mother close, thrust steel through qlivering flesh. The wolf cry of the Rebellion shrielts with that of the Union. Tho sun is dark ened in the valley of the Shenandoah
 Now all is silent and the night has come. Formless darkness covers the horrors of the field. The tattoo has sounded ;the lights have gone out: the camp lies in slumber. Grant, sleepless, in prayer, sits alone while the flaps of his tent rustic in the night wind Around him are the dying and the dead. These mon of the North shall never retreat: nor shall they re- turn. Their noble work is done. The Idol of the South is defeated; the slaves are free.

ULYSSES s. GRANT. (By Q. M. Elyedahl)

From the dawn of history, the pro- gross of freedom and universal eman- cipation has been opposed by the sov- ereigns of aM nations, who had seized upon the rights of their people and chained them to vassalage.
 But the spirit of liberty. the noblest principle of man, could not be linked to eternal bondage. For it's cause. wars have been waged, and the fields are still soaked with gore. Despots have opposed it; tyrants have sought it's destruction, but stil the guiding star of Liberty moves on. History IS replete with tales of oppressors and their destines. For two thousand years we have had before Us the pitiful spectacle of all-masterful Alexander, stricken In the fury of conquest by the fever of his excesses, dying in Baby lon, raising his hand, not to wield the scepter of the world, but to bid Q si- lent farewell to his soldiers, as one by one they passed his bed. Great Caesar yet lies at the red foot of Poanpey's statue. Aberrahnlan who RAW the world bow under the crescent still sleeps on the battle field of Tours, while liberty marches triumphantly on.
 The sword that served so well the hand of the tyramt: that subJugated nations, and left their sons bleaching on the plains" has served equally as weM. and with more glory and aggran- dizement, in the hands of the deliv- erer.
 Andrew Hoffer, the gallant leader of the Tyrolese. cut to pieces the stand ards of the Bavarian- -IIrarauders. and through his mountain passes struck path to fame. It swept the Dutch in- trudors out of Belgium; drove them back to their own ''phlegmatic swamps," and forced their flag and bayonets, their laws and scepter into the sluggish waters of the schedt." From it's blow a giant nation arose from the waters of the Atlantic, and by its power, the down trodden colony leaped into a mighty Republic.
 But the usurpers of liberty were still tranpling down human rights. The tryants who had been driven acroas the sea, had left their customs behind, the curse of enthralment and serrdom. When the South could see nothing but slaves. shackled and laah- cd, the North objected: their relations became moro and moro strained. un-

til ct last the tie of brotherhood burst In a mighty revolution. The sun that had set in peace and tranquility arose above Q bloOdstained field of battle, where brother fought against brother, and father against son. And so, for four years, the conflict ragged.
 The despots of Europe were ever ready to aid the Rebellious South, but the Divi:,e hand was leading the North to victory and freedom. In the hour of peril, when defeat was at the thres- hold, the North called forth It's redeem CT, Ulysses s. Grant.
 Through gallantry, and extraordin- ary military and executive ability. he arose from farm hand to q President, the highest office in the gift of great nation. We catch the first glimpse of his master hand at the storming of Chapultepec, where he drove the Mexican horyles awe-stricken from the field Again we see him at Fort Don elsen, where fifteen thousand Confed- crates bow before his sword His unyielding courage could not tolerate defeat, and so he emerges victoriously from Fort Donelson to Vicksburg. g,sxN.. nIy tx. NIat tt1t m from Chattanooga to Richmond, where ne meets Robert l.. Lee, the Idol of che South, In the gloomy woods on the banks of the river James. Here he
 stands before us, silent, stern and masterful. His deep blue eyes reflect the dewy quiet Jf the morning as he looks across the fields to the wood be- hind whose velvet screen the grey thousands are massing. The com mander turns. His men in blue are ready; their grim faces flushed with tho strong inspiration of his presence. Tho heavy ranks of blue move out to battle. A light flashes across his face the gleam of his sword as it reaches toward the enemy. "Charge The line springs; the crest of solid ground with a great roar heayes forward its maddel,ed boad, men, arms, smoke, a fighting mass" His lips muttered. 70 God! let this battle decide the fate of our great Republic" The Demon of fury Is doing his work; the men in battle are transformed. The arteries through which have throbbed tho nob- lest impulses are charged with boiling rage.
