from the Red Cross agents in France.

travel-wearied soldiers as they settle
down and relax in some pretty rest
station where they have obtained a
hot shower bath, and good meal af-

trains. Those places seem more
like home to the soldiers because they
are waited upon by American girls.

WHAT TO EAT WHEN YOU HAVE
"A COLD.

Prevalence of influenza in Wash
ington, d. c., has meant that some
thing must be done towards feeding
those confined to their rooms with no
one to care for them. The experiment
tai kitchen of the United States Food
Administration has promptly gone
about this work, sending out quanti-
ties of soup, custards, milk and crack
ers every day. = .
These are just such foods as one
should eat during the first stages of
cold. The fact that colds may turn
into something worse, especially dur
ing such an epidemic as the present,
should be sufficient warning to any
one to call a doctor at once and be
careful to eat properly, that the cold
may be quickly thrown off.
During the first few days eat a
light laxative diet of low fuel value,
letting hot lemonade or orangeade,
broths or gruels with crisp toast, bak-
ed potatoes, mild stewed fruits and
vegetables and milk be the chief arti-
cles of diet. This should be followed
with diet of ordinary fuel value and
then as soon as the cold seems to be
broken" by one of higher fuel value
than usual so as to aid the body in
recovering.

TURKEY PRICES TO SOAR.

Substitution of chickens, ducks,
and geese for the Thanksgiving Day
turkeys in order to supply the men Of
the army and navy with turkey din
ners is urged on the public by market
experts. The Government has con-
tracted for the entire, supply of cold
storage turkeys, it is said. and has
also arranged to purchase most of
the fresh killed fowls.
Consumers who insist upon turkey
for their Thanksgiving dinners will
be compelled to take their chances in
a scanty market, and the prices, it
is predicted, will soar sky high.

seen lots of this country (France)
since leaving the States. :. L would
have written to you sooner, but had
the hardest kind of time in getting

have been moving about so much.
Honestly, haven't been in one place
long enough to write. / don't think
1 will have an opportunity to write
very often now, for 1 am near the

something else to think about. :.
Have the boys been drafted into the
service yet? 1 suppose they have
closed the factory about this time.

infantry to the machine gun COM
pany. I will have some hard work
to do, but that is nothing more than
I expected, and am willing to do my
duty, whatever it is and wherever it
is, in the very best way can-and
that's the only way a Kentuckian
knows how to do anything-to do it
right and do it we'll and do it so it
counts. The time has come now when

From what we learn over here am
going to get to see you in a few

food and plenty Of work, and have no

the reason they are working them
selves on this job of putting the Huns
