to utilize cheaper cuts of meats and

of this department.
What are the cheaper cuts and is
there such a thing on the market?' p
one of the officials was asked.
What we mean is the less ex-
pensive cuts thar roasts and steaks
the coGrser cuts, such as the neck, the
briskett, shanks, knuckle soup bones
They can be made just as palatable as
the more expensive cuts if the house

learn how. Miss Catherine Mckay,

This life in the service is much
different than anything | ever exper-

now in my second week. We work
seven hours a day, have a beautiful
home and the best of food. It is
just as pleasant to take care of the
boys, they are SO patient and sweet
in their sufferings. We have Just
received forty eight mer from over
seas, just young fellows, some with
arms or legs off. 1t is very sad, but
they seem happy and tell thrilling and
exciting tales of their experiences.
This is headquarters and we receive
army training here before being sent
to France or other places. l don't
know how long l will be here. When
peace was declared there was great
excitement here, as the boys went
wild, even if they were sick. The
"fu' has been terrible here, but it
is more quiet now. We are in quar-
antine, and have to wear masks all
the time. If we don't they arrest us
and we have to pay fine of $40.

fair grounds, beautiful location We
walk a great deal and horseback
riding is our chief amusement just
now. The rules are very strict, and
the nurses do not dare look at a
private, but are allowed at all the
officers affairs. They had a ball for
us on Thanksgiving Day"

to the faithful farm horse! With

farm horses are cheap when they

LETTERS FROM BOYS

Mr.. ard Mrs. James HURDLE have

John Hurdle, who is with the United
States forces in France:
France, October IS, 191S.-Dear
Folks: This is day of rest for me,
and l know it is time that write
you. Pm in my little dugout with
my three pals, using my feet for a
writing desk, they are big enough
but hardly the right shape. This
home of ours isn't much for style
but it is very comfortable, for we
have a stove and our bed sacks
filled with dry grass, have twelve
blankets which makes a soft bed.
, We just got two months pay so
we think we are rich. We got all
kinds of cigars, cigarettes, tobacco
and good eats that we bought at the
Y. M. C. A. and Salvation army

The towns are all shot to pieces,
l don't thirk there is one building
in this town that has a roof on it,
The Germans had this place a few
days ago, but l guess they didn't like
the idea of the Yanks coming in, so
they moved out and are still on
no 1y 10 ;o;, l,o
kaiser.
We have been here for about three
weeks doing our line of work, which
isn't so hard so far. Some times we
work at night, but night, day and
Sundays are all the same over here.
Yesterday was Sunday but Il didn't
know it until today.
Uncle Sam is sure feeling good
and has tobacco issued every week.
We are sure fixed for winter, we
were issued three suits of heavy
underwear, six pair of wool hose,
sweater, mittens, hip boots, leather
coats with wool lining, of course we
have steel helmets. and gas masks
because Fritz acts up once in a
while.
l have seer lots of country and
many interesting places in the last
few months, and may see little more
in the Eext few months. Pm not
worrying bit, the more the mer-
rier. I've been getting lots of let
tiers, some from home, and number
from my fair ores. They all say
they miss me so much. l don't know
if they do or not, but you can tell
the world that l miss them. By the
letters / get from them, the dear
ones seem to think that l battle in
wine and have a nice French widow
or some swell dame Well l am
rather close to No Mans land, but it
is a cinch that it isn't a woman's
land. They are as scarce as Ger
kinds of wine. 1t reminds me of the
grape juice that Mr.. Mohr gave me,
the kind with kick to it.
l won't write any war news be-
cause you get all in the daillies
long before you get this letter.
The trip on the pond was every
thing but pleasure for me, water
may be alright to drink and for
washing, but isn't worth a darn to
ride or. Gee, / was sick for few
days but l didn't feed the fish l was
too sick to get to the rail. But l
saw many boy wish that he could
fall over board. 1t is about chow
time and as usual l am hungry so
will close for this time.
Hope you are all feeling as good
as l ain because l never felt better
in my life.-On to Old Berlin,
