Dear Brother and Sister:
Having a few idle moments at this
time and access to a typewriter, l
shall endeavor to get out another
circular letter in answer to your
welcome letters received some time
ago, and wish to say right here that
/ certainly was glad to read all the
glowing news they contained.
| have been wanting to write long
before this time, but Uncle Sam has
been keeping me so busy that
couldn't help neglect my correspon-
dence, and over month ago when
the "flu" swooped down over this
camp, we had twice as much work
to do as under normal conditions.
When it first broke out we were
short of help and for one whole week

had charge of one of the sick and
drug rooms of one of our infirmaries
and to make matters worse, three of
our best clerks fell victims to the
epidemic and died within week.
There were few deaths caused by
Influenza direct, but most deaths
were caused by flu-pneumonia. Dur
ing the seige nearly 10000 cases of
Influenza were sent to the Base hos

official record, 7O2 died. / myself,

A record of every patient has to be

we are. We expect to finish this
work within another week. Accord

more people died of flu-pneumonia
IN this country than were killed on
the battle field during the same per-
lod. Those were some dark and

They Will Combat Mosquitoes That
Breed Malaria.

Breed Malaria.
Start bat roost and help rid the
country Of disease, is the admonition
Of DR.. Charles A. Campbell of San An
tonic, who recently attended the
Southwestern Medical association
meeting at Dallas.
Malaria, he says, is one Of mans
worst enemies, and the lowly bat as
a cOmbatant Of the disease is highly
valuable. Doctor Campbell has worked
on his theory for II years, perfecting
it scientifically only during the war.
"The malaria mosquito and the bat
are both nocturnal and the mosquito
furnishes 80 per cent Of the bats
food" he said. "All that is needed to
combat the mosquito and resultant ma.
laria is to furnish the bat with home.
A roost similar to the method in keep.
ing bees in ones back yard will suffice,
for the bat knows it's home and will
return after a nights foraging. In
my back yard have many of these
sanitary workers"

According to story from Casper,
the Wyoming Oil fields are not shut
ting down as much as was expected by
the oil men this fall and winter. The
Lance field development is primarily
the cause of this condition and the,
strike there has caused operators in|
other districts to try and do likewise.
Every dome in the state Is potential
gusher territory as the oil men view
them.
From Birmingham, Ala, comes world
that just after receipt of notice that
the government would withdraw price,
fiXation on metal products with the
beginning of the new year and discus
sion of 1919 prices had begun,
prominent foundry interest received an
order by wire for 1000 tons of metal
for south European delivery at an adj
vance of Is cents ton over the gov
eminent price.
Zinc quotations for the week ending
December IS, as reported to the Utah
Ore Sampling company by the En-
cheering and Mining Journal, show
that the settling price for the week
averaged. $3.50, with quotation Of
SITS at the close.
Business on the Salt Lake mining ex-
change the past week totaled 462,682
shares sold, valued at $S4, 222.5S. This

Dear Father:
am getting along just fine and
hope you are too. | would give a lot
to know just how all is with you as
l am writing this letter, but most of
all would like to come home. have
seen enough of this and | am sure
| will be the happiest boy in the
world when get back to the good
old U. S. A. OF course, the expert
ence has been a great thing for me,
and l wouldn t have missed it for
anything, but sure am glad that the
end is in sight and that l don't have
to go through it all again. r.
l guess they had a great time in
Blackfoot when the armistice was
signed. l was on gurad at that time
so did not get in on the celebration.
The celebration.of the French people
here lasted three days. They sure
are a happy lot regardless of the
terrible suffering they have endured
during the war. And, too, they seem
to think that the U. S. soldiers are
the best friends they have got, at
least they act that way.
Everything here is different from
our country. They build their fenc-
es with dirt, and the fields all being
small, this makes them look as if
surrounded with hedges. The size of
these farms will never cease being
a joke to me. They are just about as
big as the gardens we have at home.
| guess you get more war news
than | do so will not try to tell
you any. l had the good fortune of
getting a pay day a short time ago,
the first in France and the first in
three months. l tell you the money
looked mighty good. Also another
stroke of good luck came my way.
| ran onto some of the boys from
Blackfoot and they looked mighty
good to me too.
| must have a whole sack full of
mail humping around this part of
the world somewhere for l haven't
received any for a long time.
Well Dad, I hope to be home be-
fore very long, and l have promised
myself lot of good times when 7
get back.
-. Your loving son.,

These brave fellows got most of the
cheers and the Girls Volunteer Aid
showered them with apples and can
dy. Some of them had an empty
sleeve, some had lost leg and then
there were those with various other
injuries. This was indeed vivid pic
ture of one of the greatest horrors
of the war. In spite of their misfor-
tunes they were as happy and en-
thuSiastic as anyone in the parade.
In the last quota of recruits that
came into this camp, there were a
lot of Indians from the Dakotas and
Montana, and the most amusing
thing about them was the queer
names they have. Here are a few of
them as jotted them down: Ben
Runs Close to Village, Martin Little
Dog, George Sleeps From Home, ia
cob Shoots Near, Ben Black Spotted
War Horse. inquired as to the Or
igin of such names and was told
that there prevailed an old Indian
custom whereby a child at the time
of birth receives its surname which
is the name of the first object seen
by the mother
The other day the Chamber of
Commerce of st. Louis, presented
each one of us in this camp from that
city with smileage book. These are
good at any of the theatres in the
camp under the management of the
Commission on Training Activities.
These little things are all appreciat-
ed and help to keep the soldiers
cheerful until they are permitted to
go back home. The Y. M. C.. AS, X.
C's. and other places for the SOL
diers to pass away their idle hours
are still keeping up their usual en-
tertainments, so there is no reason
why the morale of the boys should
not be kept up until they are allow
ed to go back to civilian life.
Each soldier before being mustered
out of the service must take another
physical examination. This work was
begun last Friday morning, and an
average ofe8OO men are being exam
ined a day. Every soldier must be
in the same physical condition as
he was at the time he came into the
service, otherwise he must remain un-
til medical aid has improved him.
AS to when all of us will get out is
very indefinite. We know that the
medical detachment will be the last
one to get out. '
Now that the Worlds War has
come to an end, Uncle Sam must re-
duce his large army and as soldiers |
are turned back to civilian life they
must seek employment for subsis-
tence, and everyone must look out
for himself. As there is possibility |
OF my getting out within the next
two or three months my thoughts |
are brought back to the day l left |
my old employers, the McGraw Tire
& Rubber Company with letter of |
recommendation, saying that if I
were honorably discharged from the
army a place would be waiting for
me when l returned. / am sure
will be mustered out with such hon.
or, as | am glad to say that l have
good record, having been promoted
several times, so feel confident that
will get my old place back.
We have ordered a carload of barb
wire and as soon as we get little
time we want to knit some sweaters
for the kaiser and his bunch so they
may keep warm this winter. |

you get time and trusting that you

CHAMBER FILES
ENDORSEMENT OF
PROTEST ON TAX

The Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce yesterday endorsed resolutions
unanimously adopted by the directors
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
at meeting held in Atlanta Novem'
per 18th, the text of which are as fol
lows:
Our people have, under conditions
OF personal economy and sacrifice
cneerfully borne the burden OF extra
Ordinary taxation heretofore levied,
gladly submitted to all business re-
strlctions and literally subscribed to
ali issues of government bonds. Now
That the world war has ended sue
cessfully and gloriously for the United
states and the Allies, in our. opinion
the time has arrived to lift, as far as
possible, the extraordinary burden of
taxation and restore all business ac-
tlv1ty throughout the country.
The tax bill now pending before
congress should be modified. The
necessity for so large an amount of
revenue for immediate use has ceased
to exist, the cost of the war can and
shouldbe paid by taxation extending
over number of years and a large
part of our money should be used in
the upbuilding and protection of our
business enterprise.
We earnestly recommend the modi-
flcation of the present tax bill and
that the war debt be paid through a
period of years, that all construction
work and activities of the govern
ment not necessary to meet its re-
sponsibilities and provide for the safe
and comfortable return of our men to
their homes be Immediately discon-
tinued and that the men employed
therein be permitted to return to in
dustrial work and that all material
and supplies be released to the usual
channels of commerce as soon as

NEED CARS TODAY
TO TAKE TROOP
BAND TO MOLINO

At the request of many who rae in
terested in the success of the Escam-
bia County Fair, Col. John L. Hughes,
U. S. A., has given his consent that
the coast artillery band Of Fort Bar
rancas lend it's talents to the success
of the day.
L. w. Hardy, general manager of
the county fair, urges those who can
do so to have their cars at the San
Carlos hotel promptly at ten o'clock
this morning, to convey the band to
Moline, as the fair management is
unable to pay this expense and there
is no government fund that covers it.
Col. Hughes will have his own car,
and it has been suggested that there
are many who will make the trip to
the fair by automobile, who will be
glad to make members of the band
with them.

MILITARY METHODS

Many Interesting Features in 9TH ]
Come Back to You.''

The military, or rather engineer
ing work involved in "sapping," is
remarkably exemplified in IT'LL L
Come Back to YOU" c. B. DeMille's
new Aircraft special, written by
Jeanne Macpherson, which will be
shown at the Isis theatre next Fri
day and Saturday. The work of the
sappers who tunnel benec-h the
earth, beneath enemy trenches. and
so achieve miracles of offensive STRAIT
egg, is depicted in detail by means
of profile scenes showing the nature
of the work.
The specific instance in the picture
is the burrowing of the sappers to
spot inside the enemy lines where ex-
plosives are planted to destroy large
stores of liquid fire. This forms the
crucial point of the story which is
dramatic in the extreme. The vari-
Gus roles are in the hands of play
ers of stellar importance.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out,
just try inside-bathing every morning
for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels

sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of

lamentations, gases and acidity and
gives one splendid appetite for

A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone phos-
plate act on the blood and internal or
gans. Those who are subject to con-
bilious attacks, acid stom-
ach, rheumatic twinges, also those
whose skin is sallow and complexion
pallid, are assured that one week of

BIG CROWD FOR
VACCINATION
The Record For One Day Is Broken
at the Free Pneumonia Vac
cinatlon Station Of
keckuk.

Three doctors yaccinated 422 per-
sons with Rasenow pneumonia vac
cine in two hours yesterday after
noon, which is more than one a min
ute for each doctor. The record Of
the station was broken as to number
yaccinated.
1t was the accumulation of three
days that swarmed into the free vac
cine station between 1 and 8 o'clock.
There had been no service there on
Christmas day, and a number of
people of Tuesdays class delayed
appearing until Thursday.
They damned the large room in
the basement OF George Washington
school and passed in a continual
stream in column of threes past five
clerks into the rear room where
Drs. Fegers, Clark and Hogle were
jabbing in the hypodermic syringes
with the regularity and almost the
speed of sewing machines.
Tomorrow is the last day of the
free Keokuk vaccine station, and
those who do not get their third sho:
then will never get it at the Keokuk
institution which has been so popu-
lar.
The number of cases of influenza
in keokuk this morning at 10
o'clock was only fifty-five in twenty
three houses Most of the cases are
in the hospitals, but recorded at
their home addresses.
