PRISONERS OF foe
FAILURE TO RECEIVE LETTERS
FROM RELATIVES WORRIES
CAPTURED AMERICANS.

New York, Feb. 6.-American
prisoners in German camps are fac
ing hardships with unbroken spirit,
but are worried about their failure to
receive mail from relatives in this
country, according to letters in pos
session of the prisoner of war aid de-
partment of the Y. NJ. C. A. The let
ters, sent to E. G.. Wilson, associate
secretary, returned to this country
after spending two years in war work
in Europe, were made public here.
Barnaby Boyle is known officially
as American prisoner of war No. /.
He claimed to have gone through the
Sitting Bull campaign and the Span
ish war without a scratch, and to
have met misfortune only when he
turned sailor.
Probably the youngest American
held as prisoner of war is Henry r.
Hendren, 16 years old, in a prison
camp at Lubbock, Germany.
II wish you would kindly notify
my mother of my whereabouts" he
said. II have written to her several
times, but have not received a re-
ply. The address is 210 Maple ave
nue.. Norfolk, Va"
One of the most human letters OF
the batch of 100 was from q wife who
lives in East Boston, to her husband
in a prison camp in Germany. He
asked the Y. M. C. A. to find out why
she did not write. Here is a part OF
what she wrote:
IF you have not received the let
ter l sent before, l will have to tell
you again that a beautiful baby
daughter was born to us April 26,
1917. had her baptized in the
name of Mary. had her pose for
her picture. especially to send to you,
l don't suppose you received that,
either.
Mary is a beautiful baby. / could
write a book about all the cute things
she does, and car you believe, Tom,
she Is sitting up by herself and wear
ing soft shoes and only 4 months old
She has black hair and blue eyes like
myself, but I can see you in her
smile. She has a head shaped like
yours, and her hands are the very
shape of yours. / know you would be
wild about her, If you could only see
the dear. She is such a comfort to
me. / love and kiss her for you"
Il would like very much a little
soap, please" writes Walter w. Per.
kins, Of Wichita, Kan. He requested
that his mother be notified of his
whereabouts.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is aused by an infamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eu-

famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless tn Inflammation can be taken put

germany LOOKS
like THE Devil"
American Dentist, Back From
Berlin, Says Only Soldier Pre-
sents Good Appearance.

1.-THE German soldier looks fine, but
everything else In Germany looks like
the devil"
This Is the summary Of Teutonic
conditions by DR.. William Law, a ma
tive of Flint, Mich, who Is back visit
ing his parents after practicing den:
tistry for - years In Berlin, where he
served the kalser's family profession
ally.
Doctor Laws family was able to
leave with Ambassador Gerard's party,
but the doctor himself was too Ill to
travel and remained in Berlin until
October %, 1917. Doctor Law, after
many delays In Europe, arrived here
recently.
There are today 100000 to 125,OOO
empty stores and residences In Berlin,
where normally In peace times the
number would not exceed 10000 to
$4,000" said Doctor Law. "The big
change has been wrought because
many businesses have gone bankrupt,
as people are moving in together to
conserve necessities of life. Stores
that are open have little or nothing
left In them.
"The people cry for peace. and the
leaders of the military party say :
We've offered peace to the entente
and they refuse It, So the people 60
on. They are the most patient lot l
ever saw.
"The soldier gets plenty of food
taken from that en- route from some
supply house, perhaps to a hospital.
The man at the hospital, who checks
on the food. gets part of the graft.
II think the people Of Germany can
exist for another year. However, there
is no tea OF no coffee and the beer is
about like water and tastes like var-
nish. When a person hasn't shoes now
he goes barefoot, or else gets wooden
soles put ON the old ones.
Every bit Of oil is gone, even to
castor Oil, which has been used for
lubricating purposes. Every sort of
factory is engaged in making things
for war. therefore there is a shortage
In everyday necessaries.
"The military party Of Germany will
die fighting. whether they are killed
by the allies or by their own people
In an uprising after Germany has been
crushed. The winning of the war for
the allies now depends ON how big a
feet Of ~airplanes America can send to
France"

SLOW COMING
REVENUE COLLECTOR FEARS
MANY FOLKS WILL BE
PENALIZED.

Aberdeen, Feb. 6.-Judging from
the returns which are being made at
the internal revenue office, Collector
James Coffey says that thousands of
persons in this district are going to
suffer the penalty for failure to make
return of their tax report before
March 1.
If the document is not on file by
the end of the day on March 1, a
penalty attaches. Payment does not
have to be made until June, but the
report must be filed. This applies to
all unmarried persons with an income
of $1,000 or more during, the last
year and married persons with ST.
900 or more incomes.
All employers must send to the
collector a list Of all employees to
whom he paid $500 or more during
the year.
"A careful study Of the reports
from my field deputies and from the
banks throughout this district" says
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1918-02-06

Mr.. Coffey, Show that with the
month of January gone and only the
balance of February left in which to
make a report. the number of people
in North and South Dakota who have
made inquiries in regard to this law
is surprisingly small.
Il know conditions in these two
states and / feel sure that unless the
banks, newspapers, farmers and en-
ployers of labor take hold of this
matter and urge all those that they
have ISL to believe should make
a return of the law before March /.

ARE ADVERTISED MEDICINES
WORTHLESS?

There is no more reason to con-
denim all advertised medicines than
there IL to condemn all physicians or
all druggists. Fakes there are in ev-
cry profession and in every trade.
but they do not last long. Take a
medicine like Lydia e. Pinkham's

We feel that in view Of our statement
you can reconcile the deners Of your
fund to. tie postponement and that
YOU will find it to your pecuniafy ad
vantage TO postpone the work in
view of the high cost of labor and
materials
tSigned) E. H. kITTREDGE. Sec.
Under these conditions the Board
OF trustees had a meeting yesterday
afternoon and decided that there was
nothing else to dc but postpone for
little time the work of building the
rev wing. The trustees unanimously
regret the necessity Of this postpone
! ment, but il seems to be unavoidable,
and as everybody is trying to do all
, in their power to win the war, if this
is one of the ways Of accomplishing
that result, the trustees feel that the
doners, who are really behind this
building project, will see the wisdom
Of the boards acquieseing in the re-
quest Of the committee having these
matters in charge.
The board were informed that two
similar hospitals, one already under
construction, had been stopped in the
State of Massachusetts. and a similar
shutting Down is going on all over the
country.
