lines today as | have time. We are
in what they call d rest camp here in
England, which consists Of cOrrugat-
ed sheet iron Oh a light frame work
OF wood. We arrived here yesterday
and will! stay ABOUT a week and then
we so to france. 1t is pretty cold
here az present. Lcnt know if it is
this cold all the time or not. ! hope
we don't stay here long enough to
find out Everything is so high
priced here. 1t costs seven cents for
a half ounce of tobacco and every,
thing accordingly.
I put in for a transfer to the navy
as fireman. Don't know ii l get i,
or not. The chances good will take
about ten days before | will find out.
"They may think England is q
BEAUTIFUL country, but | don't think ii
worth travelling over to see. The land
is alright but their system for farm

thing is landlord over here. A farm
will have six or seyel houses built

see, but at that they are pretty bad
Everything and everyone show the eff

"Some of the English were talking
to us. They were Dragging about PEG

don't wonder their passenger coaches

their locomotives are center crank
and look like an oil switch engine.

New vap0r Way
Of Treating all
Cold Troubles
North Carolina Druggist In
vents a Salve That is
Vaporized by the
Body Heat
NOTHING TO SWALLOW.
YOU JUST RUB IT ON
Particularly Valuable to Mothers
with Small Children. Local
Druggists Are Offering Csc Jar,
u. on 80 Days Trial.

Colds are simply determinations of
the air passages and everybody knows
that the only way to reach the air
passages direct is by means of vapors
that can be inhaled. The old-fash-
toned vapor treatments however, were
cumbersome and costly, but North
Carolina druggist solved this problem
by jnventing a salve that Is vapor-
lied by the body heat. ....,..
This preparation, known as Vick's
VapoRub. is now being introduced
here. The local druggists know the
danger Of constant dosing" especially
to small children and are anxious
that all their customers should try
this new Outside" treatment. Ar
rangemcnts have accordingly been
made with the manufacturers to sell
the small size Jars, price Csc, on 30
days trial-no charge to be made II
the customer IS not delighted with
the results.
Fer deep chest colds, sore throat,
bronchitis, tonsilitis, or incipient pneu-
monia VapoRub should be applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
warm flannel cloth. The vapors
arising carry the medication, with
each breath, to the air passages and
lungs. In addition VapoRub Is alb
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin taking out that tightness and
soreness in the chest.
For head colds, hay fever, catarrh
or asthmatic troubles vapoRub can
either be applied up the nostrils or .
little melted in q spoon and the vapors
inhaled. Group Is usually relieved
within fifteen minutes and one appll.

1t is the first real order coming
from headquarters which directly af-
fects the people that has been issued
since the commencement of the war
At once the congress goes into hyster-
les and the newspapers scour the
country to get some man whose opin-
ion carries weight to say that the
administrator has made a great mis-
take
Any man who gives an opinion or
any subject without a knowledge OF
the facts is fool" said great jur-
ist, and in the matter of this order OF
the fuel administration we agree with
the Judge.
Where is all of the boosted patriot
ism that we have been yelling about ?
Oh, we bought Liberty Bonds! Yes
we bought them largely because they
were the best and safest investment
offered at the time, and we will buy
more of them because we are afraid oil
other investments.
We need some lessons In discipline

SQUADS RIGHT.

The following article is from The
Financial Age, Wall Street puhliea-
ton, and is interesting, not only for
the truth it contains but because Of
its source, which is the commercial
center of the nation:
A company of soldiers was march
ing down Broadway with the ultimate
object of reaching the barge office at
the foot of the street. Suddenly and
without warning the lieutenant in
command issued sharp order,
squads right" which threw the men
at right angles to the point Of desti-
nation Promptly those soldiers
wheeled in column of four and march
ed down Cortland street. There was
no questioning as to whether the lieu
tenant knew what he was doing, or
whether he was going, even though
every man in the company knew that
| the shortest way to the barge office
was directly down Broadway. The
order was issued by one having au-
| thority to issue it, and was executed
with promptness and precision.
The American people, some hyster-
zeal newspapers and even members
of congress can profit by the lesson
contained in that little incident. We
must learn to Squads right" without
a lot of blathering about the frightful
suffering of the people and the be
nighted ignorance Of those in author
! ity.s
This country is in a serious war,
many of our men are "over there" and
those men must be fed, clothed and
kept perfectly equipped We have
the goods for them loaded on steam
ships which cannot sail because the
coal is blocked up somewhere on the
road, and this coal must come
through.
After many consultations with those
whose interests would be affected and
with the sanction of the president of
the United States, Fuel Administrator
Garfield has issued an order for the
conservation of coal for five eonsecu-
tive days and several future Mondays.
