His uniform proclaimed that he
was a sailor, and therefore the rea-
sonable explanation Of his erratio
course, as he zig-zagged up Canal
street was that he must have Gu, y

rate, his progress resembled that of
a sailing vessel beating up against
the wind.
The dainty little woman going in
the opposite direction noticed his
actions and she tried to pass him.
But just then he veered about in the
same direction, and she promptly
veered the other way
Whereat he came to an abrupt
halt and gravely addressed her:

course and I'll do all the lacking"

Dear Mother
We are here at last, billeted in &
snug little village quite a distance
from the sea, likewise from the line
Of fighting.
We disembarked and went away
about two miles, where we spent the
night in shelter tents; then we load
ed up into the 'Seight horses or forty
men" cars, travelled a good while
that way, then detrained and marched
fourteen miles (the men carrying 80
pounds) and we arrived.
We are in pretty place, hills on
the horizon in three directions. The
land seems to be very fertile here.
The man | am stoppin with is very
nice, indeed; gives us French les
son every night. My room is good,
except that there is strong odor
of the barnyard at night, which is
to be expected, as in the country here
the horses, pigs, cows, chickens and
people occupy pretty much the same
house.

We moved and are in another vii
lage now. Got my first letter from
you yesterday and was surely glad

regularly now.
1t is pretty cool this morning. I
just bought quarter cord Of wood
for which I had to pay five dollars;
some price, isn't it? But as long as
can get the wood it is all right, for
money is of little use where we are.
| have only succeeded in spending
two hundred francs this month,
which includes my board.
Am having quite a time getting
irewood, though the officers are sup
posed to be allowed three pounds
per day, but it does not come through /

RID STOMACH OF CASES, SOURNESS,

"Pape's Diapepsin" relieves stomach distress in
 five minutes.

You don't want slow remedy when your stomach is bad-or an uncertain one-or a harmful one-your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it with drastic drugs.
 Papes Dfapepsin is noted for it's speed in giving relief; its harmless ness; its certain unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its quick relief in indigestion, dyspep- sia and gastritis when caused by acid ity has made it famous the world over. Keep this wonderful stomach sweet ener in youl home-keep it handy get a large fifty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nausea; eructations of acid and un- digested food-remembe as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach it helps to neutralize the excessive acidity, then all the stomach distress caused by it disapi pears It's promptness, certainty anf ease in overcoming such stomach dis orders is revelation to those who try it.-Adv-

NAVAL HONORS TO MEN WHO DIED ON AMERICAN FLEET

Base American Flotilla in British Waters, March 6.-The bodies of four American naval men who have died over here have just been shipped back home on board a United States naval supply ship. A brief funeral service the first of it's kind to be held here took place on the quarter deck of the supply ship when the bodies, in sealed beaden caskets, were received on board. The ship had just finished un- loading American supplies at dock so that several hundred townspeople were able to witness the funeral ser vice from points of vantage ashore.
 All flags on the American and Bri- tish men-of-war were half-masted during the service which was conduct ed by the chaplain of the American flotilla flagship. The collins were placed in the center of the deck and each was covered with "Old Glory while grouped about were several bluej ejackets. The reading of the funeral services over, the band from the flag ship played Nearer My God to Thee" Then the collins were lowered into /. the ships hold. All the time the ser vice was in progress the civilian on- lockers stood with barred. heads.
 One of the bodies was that of Dud- ley w. Queen. surgeon on one of the destroyers, who came to the navy /, from Texas and whose death is the first from disease since the arrival of the American forces over here. The other three were victims of accidents on board their ships. They were Will liam Lusso, an electrician of Kansas City and Martin O'Callaghan and John ] Bourke, water tenders.
 There also took place the other day the first burial of an American naval man at sea from an American destroy i CT over here. He was Willis Martin Goodrow, a maChinists' mate whose home was in Charleston, S. c. He was killed in an accident on board ship and was buried in a U-boat infested area. One o'clock on a bright January af- ternoon was chosen as the time for the service. The body was placed in a canvas casket. Draped with the stars and stripes, it reposed on the after deck of the ship while the bluejackets listened to the Episcopal burial pray CT read by their commanding officer This over the destroyer was brought to a stop for thirty seconds while four sturdy blue jackets lowered the body of their shipmate over the starboard side or the vessel.

CAN BREAK COLD IN ONE HOUR BY
 TURKISH BATH

Physical culture experts declare that all "colds' so-called come from congestion of the body which can be stopped almost instantly by clari- fication of the pores and restoration of normal circulation.
 At the Atlas Turkish baths, Prof. James Atlas. noted athlete and train CT, who for 20 years has had some of Bridgeport's most noted business men as we'll as world-known athletes under his personal care, said that the curing of a cold was a simple matter and could be done at his baths in one hours time. For confirmation of his statement he referred the inquirer to his bath manager, Philip Moran, whose fame as a body-builder and masseur at Everard's and Fleisch- mans baths and also at Yale college is nationwide.
 Moran declares that cold is con gestion caused by several different things: Over-eating, sluggish liver or lack of exercise, causing filling of the pores and consequent reduction in circulation which produces conges- ton. MT. Moran further adds that about 90 per cent. of all disease is de- rived from the same conditions.
 A Turkish bath removes the excess effete matter and uric acids, elimin- ating congestion of the body and starts normal circulation checked by the congestion. The treatment neces- sary to get this effect can be had in less than an hours time at a well ap- pointed Turkish bath, like the Atlas, and at any time, for the Atlas baths are never closed.-Advertisem

0'SHEA'S ARMY LEADS kELLY'S
 IN STAMP SALE|: ]:

General O'Shea's army leads in the first days drive of the postal en- ployes' campaign to sell war savings and thrift stamps. with a total of $5,752.59, while General Kelly's men are following close with a total of $5,538.90. The first announcement of the figures was made on the large blackboard in front of the federal building at noon.
 Captain Peter Clark holds the honor of having sold the largest amount in stamps and wins the indi- vidual daily prize of three thrift stamps. He sold $2,OOO worth of stamps. Walter Laidlaw is entitled to the second individual daily prize for selling $1,2S1.6O in stamps and L. A. Sullivan is third with $941.O6 to his credit.
 Both the generals have made great strides in disposing of stamps. Each of them sold over $500 worth and gave one of the teams and their armies credit for their work. Each of the armies also was credited with $608.31 which is half of the total win dow sales at the post office and branches yesterday. Bridgeport con- tinues to show up well in the state | standings and is reported as having sold stamps and certificates amount ing to $15O,01O.4S while the amount sold in the entire state is only S1,- 206, ,4O0.28.
 The work of the postmen in their first days efforts is both gratifying to the generals of the armies, Field Marshal Caton, Postmaster Greene and members of the Bridgeport com 1 mittee. It is evident that before the month is over the postmen will set a | new pace for the city committee to keep up with.
 1 The amount taken in yesterday by 1 the postmen probably is the highest 1 days record since the war savings campaign was inaugurated last De- l cember. The total for the day was 1 $11 290.49.

IDENTIFICATION
 TAGS ISSUED TO CAMP DEvENS MEN

Camp Devens, March 5-Identifica- ton numbers have been issued to the soldiers at the cantonment and are now being used in conjunction with their names on official business. The numbers, which will appear on small disk to be worn by the soldier are given to every man in the army. These numbers will serve as the sole Identification mark on a soldier when he goes into action in Europe.
 If soldiers Identification is want ed upon his being killed, wounded or for other reasons, the records will be consulted and his name will be found beside the number he carries. To prevent possible difficulties, soldiers of the same surname will not hold con- secutive numbers. No soldier is al- lowed to tell his number.
 The system holds two advantages. One is that, in the event of capture by the enemy, the identity of the pris- oner, be he much wanted or not, his identity cannot be ascertained. The second advantage is that it is a check against spies. Where formerly an enemy might don a dead soldiers uni- form and learn who he was from his Identification card, which bore his name, now he can only put on the dead mans number. In coming to a strange outfit, if asked his name. out fit etc, his answers should corres- pond to the information beside the number he wears, and listed at head quarters. The identification card : bearing only number therefore is useless where that bearing a name and company would insure considera- ble safety to spy.
