What Are You Getting Out Of the
War?

Clyde B. Wilson of the Nigilantes,
writes:
You have been in the war one year.
But it is 5000 miles away. Have you
got it yet? Or has it got you yet in
its sharp. impinging import; its full,
cosmic significance? Or do you still
grope for 1t, and cropping get nothing
but story book blur? Do you ever
waken in the middle of the nigh,
with the horror upon YOU that while
YOU lie snug and secure among soft,
clean and clinging things. men over
seas are slipping in the blood of
their comrades and piling dead, deep
in heaps, one upon the other? And
have your high vows for bigger, bet
ter service made at such a time fad
ed out to discredited dreams and
your momentary grasp of it gone
again in the light and vigor of your
busy day?
Don't you get it-this war?
Why?
Do you ever have the feeling come
over you like a sudden chill that in
spite of what you are doing, you are
doing nothing?
1t Is familiar truth that we get
out of Life just what we put into it.
In your religious and social life do
you not find your pleasures, benefits.
and grasp Of basic tenets f1uctuate in
the exact measure of your interest
and personal contribution to the
propaganda?
Do you ever awaken Of a morning
TO your daily duties only to shrink
from the gigantic problems and COL
orless grind before you. and in an
hours time see the mountains shrink
to mole hills and the early drab per-
spective glow and flame under the
fervor of your own forced activity?
There is your answer.
Do more.
Keep your night time vows in the
day time and your night time thrills
Will remain with you, not to speak of
the easy conscience.

In view of the fact that disease Is
ever the same, a medicine like Hoods
SarsaparilIa, which has been sue
cessful for more than 40 years in
combating disease and preserving
health. IS a safe one to rely upon.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is known
everywh ere as the standard blood

ord is one of remarkable results. 1t
has given entire satisfaction in the
treatment of scrofula, eczema, hu-
mors, catarrh, rheumatism, loss or
appetite, that tired feeling and gen.
eral debility, and is taken as effec-
lively at one time Of year as another.
There is nothing better as

run down men, women and children
and old people, invalids and GONZALES
cents.
1t is pleasant to take, aids diges
ton, and supplies the vital organs
with the rich red blood essential to

OUR BOYS
Write from
OV E r TIL r E

The following letter has recently
been received by Rev j. o. Rutter at
North Nassa lboro from Private Wal
ter 2. Thornhil with Company II,
l03rd l.. s. Inf, A. j.. F..
Co. II, Somewhere in France, March
9th. 1913.
Dear Friend Mr.. Rutter:
Just a few lines in reply to your
letter of Jan. 28th. received last
night Was more than glad to hear
from you as | am from all my friends
at home.
! am in the best of health at pres
ent although | have only been out of
the hospital week. ] am enjoying
myself petty good considering the
conditions we are under over here.
| suppose that by this time you have
heard that the 103rd has been into
the trenches and is expecting to go
In again soon. And the boys of the
1O3rd are right there with the right
kind of !, punch.
If you could only be over here and
walk through some of the cities and
towns ana see the buildings that
have be destroyed YOU would feel
lust like 2. do, and be anxious to get
at the Germans as we are. | went in
to a lar.:a Catholic church a week
ago in a large city near where we
are and 1t was a sight worth seeing.
One half Of it is all ruined. The other
half of it is in pretty poor shape. 1t
was eau ed by Bochc airplancs. We
are seeing some of the awful works
the Germf us did We are now living
in a large under ground once
owned ny the Germans and we are
not so far from the firing line now
but what we can hear the guns fir
ing night and day. To see them fir
ing on an aeroplane or to see a
French ny,r chase 4 German machine
is almost u daily occurrence to us
now 7 I'm keeping a diary of every
day But If course | could not tell
you the things in that diary without
giving out some information that
would be of value which we are not
allowed 10 write.
| am sorry to say but Arno Scott
has been III the hospital for some
off with bayonet. | have not seen
him for 4 month. 1t seems as though
it must h@ye been some cold winter
at home. We had some snow for
about a II onth and from the middle
of Janua = until the first of March
we had regular spring weather. The
first thr re days of March we had a
spring again. | cannot see why they
ever calico this Sunny Franco
though.
hope that I may he able to meet
Mr.. Garland if he is over here.
Frank II nco wishes to be remem-
bered to all his friends.
I want you to thank the Sunday
they sent me. They were certainly
great. Tic boys almost go wild when
they get box from the States con-
tanning chocolates and peanut bars,
etc. Most every boy that writes home
asks for fudge or chocolates.
I hope you will remember me to
all my friends. AS we are only al
lowed to write a certain number of
letters week it is hard to write to
everyone.
l must bring this letter to n close
as | have got to so to work.
All us fellows over here ask from
the people at home is their daily
prayer an we shall try and whip the
Germans.
SincerAli;' yours.
