ninety-nine for shells, rats, wind and

my. I was tired out, and using my
,shrapmel-proof helmet (shrapnal proof
until q piece Of shrapnel hits it), or
tin hat, for . pillow, lay down in the
straw, and was soon fast asleep. I
must have slept about two hours. when
I awoke with a prickling sensation all
over ma Al thought, the straw had
worked through my uniform. I woke
up the fellow lying on my left, who had
been up the line before. and asked
him!
"Does the straw bother you, mater
It's worked through my uniform and T
cant sleep" -h
In q sleepy voice he answered.
'That amt straw. them's coolies"
From that time on my friends the
"cooties" were constantly with me.
Coolies" or body lice, are the bane
Of Tommy's existence.
The aristocracy Of the trenches very
seldom call them Coolies" they speak
of them as fleas.
| To an American flea means small
insect armed with bayonet who Is
wont to jab 1t into you and then hop
skip and Jump to the next place to be
attacked. There is an advantage In
having fleas on you instead Of "cooties"
in that In one Of his extended Jumps
said flea Is liable to land on the fell
low next to you; he has the typical
energy and push Of the American,
while the "'cootie" has the bulldog
tenaclty of the Englishman; he holds
on and consolidates or digs In until
his meal Is finished.
There Is no way to get rid Of them
permanently. No matter how often
you battle, and that is not very often,
or how many times you change your
underwear, your friends the "cooties"
are always in evidence. The billets are
infested with them, especially SO II
there is straw on the floor.
! have taken bath and put on
brand-new underwear; In fact, COM
plete change Of uniform, and then
turned in for the night. The next morn
ing my shirt would be full Of them. 1t
is a common sight to see eight or ten
soldiers sitting under tree with their
shirts \over their knees engaging in q
"shirt hunt"
| At night about half an hour before
Sights out" you can see the Tommies
grouped around candle, trying, in It's
dim light, to rid their underwear Of
the vermin. A popular and very quick
method Is to take your shirt and draw
ers, and run the seams back and for
ward in the flame from candle and
burn them out. This practice is dan
,gerous, because you are liable to burn
holes iny the garments If you are not
careful.
/ Recruits generally sent to Blighty
for brand Of insect powder adver-
!tised as "Good for body llcc." The ad-
advertisement is quite right; the powder
'is good for "cooties;" they simply
thrive on 1t.
II The older men Of our battalion were
wiser and made scratChers out Of
wood. These were rubbed smooth with
| q bit Of stone or sand to prevent splln-
tiers. They were about eighteen Inches
long, and Tommy guarantees that q

the war, SO "awsked" him.
''Think it's going to rain, sergeant7"
He looked at me in contempt, and
grunted, "'Ow's it a-goin' ter rain with
the bloomin' sun a-shinln'?" I looked
guilty.
"Them's the guns up the line, me
lad, and you'll get enough Of 'em be-

Then we started our march up to the
