WHAT CkTARRR IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form Of snutfs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is q medicinal food and q building

Pay The Farmer an Honest Price
For The Food Required To
Win The War.

THE House has rejected the Senate bill
liking the minimum price of wheat at
$3.50 bushel
We think that the Senate is right and the
the House is wrong in this matter.
The result of this war depends largely
upon the farmers. If they grow enough
wheat to feed our people and the peoples Of
Eng land, France, and Italy, Germany will
surely be beaten in the long run. The pro-
ducton Of wheat is just as much MILITIA
RY NECESSITY as is the production of
ships the production of ammunition the pro-
duction Of guns and of aircraft.
The makers of these things are getting
huge prohts-and nobody cares.
All that the nation asks or cares about is
that the ships. ammunition. guns and aircraft
shall be made in sufficient quantities and in
time enough TO WIN THE WAR.
And that is exactly the way the nation
should look at the farmers request for a
good price for his wheat
Let the farmer have the price he asks
Let him make profit

many have loaned their money 10 the
government on these securities. We are

The strawberries are blooming well
and unless some unforeseen disaster comes
there will be a large crop Of berries this
season in this section. Many fear that
the war conditions on the railroads viii
effect the market. but certainly the pre-
serving factories will take them at fair
profit to the grower.

Paris. April 7. 1915.

PARIS, April 2. 1918.
Dear Mother and Father:
Yesterday I received a package con-
tanning sugar and candy. Il certainly
was fine and We all enjoyed it immensely
Also received package Of papers; Chroni-
Gle, date March LIST, Saturday Evening
Post and two Philadelphia papers, all very
much appreciated. / hear that after the
18th Of next month no packages can be
sent TO us, as it takes up too much room
on shipboard. OF course papers and first
class mail will come just the same so
I guess We had better make good use
Of the intervening time. The'shoes should
be here next week and hope the khaki
uniforms soon, too.
! We have not had any air raids for the
last few days, although the gun bangs
away once in a while
This is noon Sunday. At o'clock this
afternoon Mr. Million, Charles Roux's
nephew, calls at the hotel here for me
and takes me out 10 lunch and shows he
around town some. ] was talking with
him over the phone yesterday and he
talks good English.
am going to have my picture taken
next week as you request. Did you get
AAAN AAAAAC 0AAE sent slAAtE AAlllE aEN
Next week we are going TO move our
offices out to the Champo Elysies sec
tion Of the city in what is termed the
finest hotel in Europe, 50 you can see that
our offices should be irst-class. Although
they are fine now as it is, that is a much
better section Of the town and I will be
glad to get there.
a few days ago 1 received letter from
Nine. Fromental, Mr.. Roux's mother. She
wrote the letter from Nice. her winter
home. 1t was very nice letter. She
comes home think in May.
Received a very nice letter from DR..
Stephenson the other day and / wrote
hime one Friday. I certainly hope he
gets it, l read Dave Pruitt's letter in
the Chronicle It was very interesting
indeed-very much like some Of my ex-
periences, don't you think?
Last Monday was pay day with us so
Sgt. Watson and hired a taxi (and by
the way. they are very cheap here). We
rode down Champs Ulysses Avenue, past
the Arch de Triomphe and on out 70
Bois de Bolongne park. II was a fine day
and we had a wonderful ride. We had
dinner that day at the Y VI. c. A. roast
pork, mashed potatoes, peas, hot biscuit,
rice pudding and even real ice cream.
Only cost about francs, or in our money,
65 cents There that night we saw W. S.
Hart in THE Desert Man" at the movies
at the Y. NJ c. A. This "Y'' is a fine
building, was formerly a magnificent
private dwelling house, everything is fine
there. A bunch Of us are taking French
lessons from an interpreter here in our
offices and are doing real well,
1t is very springlike here now-suppose |
it is the same with you. Nearly every |
night after work we play ball. It IS a /
fine exercise for US, too, after being in |
most Of the day. We are going 10 have
a minstrel show at the "Y' in a couple Of
weeks. 1 am supposed 70 take part. They
10 everything possible in the "Y's'' to
make life pleasant for US.
I am feeling fine. Hope you are all
well too. Remember me to all my friends.
Lots Of love TO all.
