Following is another interesting
letter from Fred Schuerman to his
mother, Mrs. A. Shuerman. Fred Is
seeing life" with the American eX-
peditionary forces in France, and is
laying up a store of absorbingly in
teresting "reminiscences to relate
when he returns:
AE.F., May II, 1918.
My Dear Mother: VIII drop you
a few rawlings while l am at the
"Y". The evenings are long now,
with the extra hour of daylight. Dusk
falls about 8 p. m. here and from
p. m. on is the best part of the
day.
| like this camp better since the
rain stopped and Sunny France" is
a good name. Today was very warm
like August at Home. | don't see
how things stay so green, you can't
see the ground.
The company is under way now.
Took a short march this morning
through the country and l never
saw anything prettier, something
like Wisconsin in the spring. The
0regonians still cling to the idea
that that state has better scenery.
1t has for mountains and forests,
lut here the vegetation Is very abun-
dant but all cultivated.
High, overgrown walls surround
every house and yard in the rural
districts. Some of the walls are dec
Grated with broken beer and wine
bottles set into the mortar, but |
can't see why any one would want
to climb over them. Here and there
is a cafe surrounded by a grove,
sheltering tables - stopping places
for thirsty travellers, but we didn't
march into any of them.
American soldiers may buy wines,
TO champagne or cognac, between
the hours of $50 and $3.50 p. m.
The French troops are under the
same restrictions we were at home
bone dry.
Even if they are wine drinking
people there is an excuse for it, as
the water is very poor. Our drink
ing water must be treated with a sub
stance that leaves "carbolicy' taste
m your month. The country is so
old and the ground has been fertiliz-
ed so long that water will not filter
out pure.
The French women seem to be
doing most of the work, every even
ing you see a squad with wheel bar
rows, overrunning the camp for
laundry. They come and get it and
return it. You can have work done
very reasonably, but we have duce
of a time making them savvy, al
though there are one or two in our
outfit who can speak the lingo.
Soon they will issue passes which
will enable us to visit the city, but
you can be gone only five hours
and not later than o'clock.
l understand we are to be back
with our regiment soon, then we will
be happy bunch. | don't like this
lost sheep business.
Is the whole family we'll and hap
ny? | never felt better myself and
hope you can say the same, though
l certainly would like to walk in on

you and stick my feet under the table
once more.
1t has been some time since I ate
with private family and ten months
since l slept in pajamas, but have
learned to wash my own clothing
and make my own bed, so what's
the difference? Some time when |
get back, we will all come over here
and look this country over.
VIII close now, with love to every
body. FRED.

TOUCHING SENTIMENT is
EXPRESSED IN VERSE

Mrs. Myra Caldwell of 1923 Bush
street recently received the following
poem composed by friend of hers,
who had become inspired to write it
by hearing Harry Lauder speak in a
touching manner of his only son, kill
ed in the war in France:
GUIDE Nicht, Laddie!
Ely bonnie, bonnie laddie! I'm greetin'
sair tonicht,
Ny cen are dim wi weepin' till I've
almaist lost my sicht,
For you're lyin' far ava frae me, be-
meath cross O. white
My bonnie. bonnie laddiel
You were your fathers pride, and
mither's. too, my bonnie lad;
Your comm aye could cheer us,
though the day were gray and
But the music O. your footsteps ne'er
again will max us glad
My bonnie, bonnie laddie!
GUIDE nicht, guide nicht, my laddie!
Oor hearts are sick and sair,
May God forgie us all oor sins, and
TAX oor spirits whaur
In life and love eternal we shall ne'er
be parted mair-
My bonnie, bonnie laddie!

equal there Thorn made the fastest
finish seen In Joplin for lonK time
and made the greatest fight OF his
career here, tho Globe CONCLUDED.
The Joplin News Herald saws that
Thorp fought like champion. and

WHY SUFFER
WITH RHEUMATISM?

the blood takes on new life
and the skin is more active
and can better assist in the
elimination of the poisons. Ex-
ternaf applications may some
times relieve the pain tenn
porarily, but they cannot
have any effect on the dis
ease. The blood must be treat
ed before a cure can be ef-
fected.
S. S. s., a remedy made
from roots, herbs and barks,
ls the best treatment for
rheumatism. 1t attacks the
disease at its head, and by
neutraliZing the acid, driving
1t out and building up the
blood so it can supply nour-
ishment and strength to every
part of the body, it drives out
rheumatism permanently. Be
ing purely vegetable, it will
not injure the system, as do
medicines which contain Pot
ash or some other mineral in
gredient. S. S. S. tones up
every part of the body by its
tlne tonic properties. While
cleansing the blood of all poi
sons it builds up the appetite
and digestion and completely
relieves Rheumatism. If you
are worried with the nagging
pains of Rheumatism, do not
wait for it to become chronic,
but begin the use of S. S. S.
today and purge the blood of
every particle of the poison.

matism and any medical ad-

Almost as Common in Sum-
mer as in Winter.

While the d a mp, cold,
changing weather of Winter
intensifies the pains and 9TH
er disagreeable symptoms of
rheumatism, it is by n o
means a winter disease exclu-
sively. Through the long
months of Summer its wan
derinQ pains and twitching
nerves are felt by those who
are afflicted with this dis
case.
Rheumatism is a disease
that involves the entire sys-
tenn. It's primary cause re-
suits from the failure of the
eliminative organs, the Liver,
Kidneys and Bowels, to carry
out of the system acids and
refuse matter.
Not only is Rheumatism the
most painful of all diseases,
with its swollen, stiff joints,
throbbing muscles and sting
ing nerves, but it is a formid-
able and dangerous trouble.
II It's cause is allowed to re-
nam in the blood, and the
disease becomes chronic,
chaIky deposits form at the
JOINTS, and they are rendered
lmmoyable and stiff, and the
patient left helpless cripple.
Every day the poison remains
IN the system the disease gets
a nrmer hold. The best time

warm weather; because then
