From the First Line.

In a letter to his mother, Mrs. Thomas Delaney of 2S4 Central av- enue, Private Thomas H. Delaney of Company D, 102nd Machine Gun bat talion. writes in part as follows:
 Dear Mother: I received your box and was very glad to get it. Your cake
 was fine and the cigarettes sure do
 come in handy, for they are hard to
 get right here. This is Sunday but I didn't have chance to go to mass today for I am in the first line trench
 es, but don't think it will be very long before we will be out again. The last time I went to mass was Easter.
 There were about 800 soldiers there and pretty near all of them went to | communion. It sure would do the folks at home good to see such sight and after the soldiers had been to mass | the French people had theirs. We had a priest that came from Fall River and he sure is there. He goes right out in the first line trenches with the 1 boys and he sure tells them thing or two once in a while.
 1 My company has been changed in to another battalion and it is now Co D. 102nd NJ, G. Battalion, and the rest
 of the battalion are from around Bos- 1 ton and a fine bunch of fellows. Your loving son,
 ] PRIVATE THOMAS DELANEY.

It is hoped that this increase. will be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant. the price will be reduced.

And they say they are going to fill each mans belly full of ice water be- fore he starts as a moral stimulus to him. It is perfectly absurd. Every army abroad gives it's men a drink of something to expand the cookies of the heart before they go up against the cold blue steel, and it may be the last one the poor devils will ever get Yet you would think that this war is going to be won by such fads and fan cies and frills as that.
 'Now let us get down to brass tachs and win this war. Let us find out the facts and let us investigate all these irregularities in a non-partisan way and report to the representatives ot the people, and then let the people pronounce the verdict

HOPEFUL FOR RECOVERY
 OF HERMAN CHAPMAN
Wounded Man is Holding His owr WelI-BuIlet Removed.

The condition of Herman Chapman, the Preston man who was shot last Monday afternoon by Arthur Salsber- ry, was reported at the Backus hos pital on Thursday night as having show no unfavorable complications so far.
 The bullet has been removed, but there are still number of pieces of the copper jacket which it has been impossible to locate. and if these cause no new complications there is every reason to anticipate that MT Chapman will recover.
 The bullets fired from the rifle that Salsberry used were of the dum- dun variety which mushrooms when il strikes. There is always possibility of infection developing from these small particles of copper from tht jacket of the bullet, but if this can bt avoided there is little to fear in Mir Chapman's case.

Alkali Makes Soap
 Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkah, which is.very injurious, as it dries S the scalp and makes the hair brittle.N
 The best thing to use is just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes ar abundance of rich, creamy father cleanses thoroughly and rinses oui easily: The hair dries quickly and and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle Besides, it loosens and takes out every l particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

The watermelon requires con siderable room, and unless there is an abundance of space available 1t should not be planted in the garden.
 It is a heat-loving plant and the seeds should not be planted in the open until the ground is warm. This will be about one month after the last hard frost. They do best in a sandy soil. and require plenty of well-rotted manure for their best development. The usual method is to plant them in hills made up with plenty of we'll rctted manure. about 10 feet apart each way. Some eight or ten seeds should be placed in each hill, and when the plants are well established they should be thinned to four plants in a hill.
