THINK LIST COVERS
 ENGINEERS LOSSES
Is Probably Result of Bitter Fighting By Americans Who Aided Brit iSh In Big Drive at
 Picardy.

Washington, April 1.-Two casual ty lists from the American eXpediticn' ary forces, issued today by the war de pertinent. contain the names of 234 killed, wounded or missinf in action and dead from wounds, accidents and diseases. The first made public this morning had 124 names and the sec Ond given out later in the day, had no names, including those of P men killed in action, the largest number so far reported at one time by General Pershing. The combined lists showed: :: Killed in action, 23; died of wounds, g.; missing in action, '; died from acci- dents, 6; died from disease, 17; wounded severely, 80: wounded slight ly, 98. Fifteen officers were named in the two lists. Thre lieutenants were killed in action, a major died from wounds, captain is missing in action, a lieutenant and two cadets died from accidents, lieutenant died from dis ease, another lieutenant was wounded severely and a lieutenant colonel, a captain and three lieutenants were wounded slightly.
 In the absence of definite informa- ton, it was generally believed here that the unusually large number of men reported killed in action were mostly railway engineers who. with the Canadians, assisted the allied in fantry in the first days of the great German drive in Picardy.

NEW WRITING PAPER.

The smart color for writing paper and note paper just now is a pale, bluisn gray. On this the individual monogram or the family crest, is en- graved in a slightly deeper shade of gray, the whole color scheme express ing utmost good state and a. dainty refinement Fanciful shapes in paper and envelopes are under the ban; fashion and correct taste demand a folded sheet of heavy paper, fitting into a square envelope, or one slightly longer than square. Some women have the street address engraved across the upper part of the letter sheet, instead of crest or monogram; or the street address may be placed in the upper right-hand corner, with the telephone number set obliquely across the upper left corner.
 This is the English fashion, and a very sensible fashion, for most women are careless writing out the full ad- dress on notes and letters, and the house address and date should always be a part of every missive dispatched. Letter paper. for the country house should have the name of the house,
 
 state in the right-hand corner, and in the left hand corner the telephone number or name or nearest telegraph station.
 There is a fancy at the moment for beginning notes on the fourth, rather than the first page of the sheet of paper, and sometimes the engraved address or monogram Is put on this last page. One writes on the fourth page, then; turning the folded sheet over, on the first page, After that the sheet is opened out and the note is completed straight across the second hand third pages-on the inner side. A i business communication is dated at ] the top, under the address of the sen- 1 der; social communication usually carries the date at the end, toward 1 the extreme left of the page. 1 The pale gray letter paper looks particularly well with the new violet l colored threecent postage stamp-one worder if that was why fashion se- | lected gray paper. Precision and care should be used in preparing ones envelope for its journey to friend or | acquaintance. The address should be written in with good spaces between ] lines and letters compact enough not to sprawl beyond the accurate mar l gins: The postage stamp should be 1 affixed accurately where it belongs and a return address should be writ 1 ten across the sealed flap of the en- 1 velope, at the back

PORTO RTCANs AID RED GROSS

San Juan, Porto Rico, Nov. 22- Porto Rico has completed the ship ment of 120,000 glasses-about 31 tons-of guava jelly to the Red Cross in France to be distributed among the hospitals. The jelly was made by the Porto Rico Chapter of the American Red Cross and sent to Trance as a contribution from Porto Rico.
 Last year the island Red Cross made and sent to France about twelve tons of guava jelly and 1t was so greatly appreciated that Charles Hartzell, chairman of the Porto Rico Chapter, recently received a cable from National Red Cross Headquar- ters at Washington saying the supply in France was all gone and asking if any more was available.
 Ten thousand cases of jelly which the Red Cross had ready for ship ment to France recently were sunk at the pier at New York,

TANK CREWS HURT BY DUST FLAKED
 FROM INTERIOR

London, Nov, 10-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) s)-Machine gune bullets sprayed against the sides of a tank produce a queer effect with in 1t, save one British army officer who has spent three months fighting with the tanks in France, The bullet, he says, cannot pierce the armor but does knock off on the inside a thin flake of steel that pulyerizes and flies in all directions, It gets into the faces and hands of the crew and siugs them like a strong wind on a cold day. The surgeons have found that 8 simple bath of Iodine solution will heal the pain and prevent infection. Describ- ing the scene within a tank which is being hit with machine gun bullets the officer said:
 ''As the bullets strike the tank, si- multaneously with the sound Of inn pact and the creation of the flake, blue flame is seen, and when a ma chino gun Is playing up and down the joints in the hope of finding a weak spot, the interior looks much like a demonstration of cheap fireworks.
 While there is no danger from mschine guns to tank crew, there iS real and pressing danger from aarmdr- piercing or explosive shells.
 'fpnless 1t is possible to get within a mile of the guns before being dis covered one is liable to come within range of shells that will wipe the tank off the face of the earth. A di- rect hit means that everybody is going to get hurt with the chances that somebody is going to get killed. The Germans were always trying to make such hit Once within a mile of the enemy the tank is comparatively safe for the guns cannot be depressed n get the range. Then the only thing the tank has to deal with is the ma chine gun. When this is accurately located the tank quickly runs it down. The German machine gunner was Gerrnany's best fighter. Generally he would hang on to a position, pepper ing the numbering tank until he found it was no use and fled or was run over.
 "One of the tricks we learned was the tremendous value of tanks against masses of enemy troops. At first wa were content to use the ordinary ma chine guns in tanks but in the latter months we used the shell timed to ex- p1ode as it left the gun, scattering its scores of leaden bullets like a shot gun Troops without artillery wers solely unable to stand such fire.'

To Avoid and
 Relieve Influenza
BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.

Many people have been frightened by what they have read or heard of influenza. The more you fear the disease, the surer you are to get it. Go right about your business and forget it. As the disease is spread princi- pally by contact through sneezing, coughing or splitting, many health authorities have advised that every one wear a gauze, which is daily washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of zinc sulphate in water, and then dried before wear ing over the nose and mouth. You should avoid crowds, common drink ing cups and public towels. Keep your strength up by taking lots of eX- ercise in the open air and plenty of nourishing food.
 If you have any of such symptoms as chilIiness, nasal. Instructions, flush ed face, headache, feverishness, rest lessness, weakness, or irritating cough, give up work at once and go to bed This will save your strength to help overcome the disease. Put your feet in hot water for 15 min utes. Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some such mild and non-irritat- ing physic as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally of hot lem onade and then coXeTSup with plenty of clothes in bed SS as to get a good sweat. When sweating is free and the fever reduced take a dose of two An uric Tablets every four hours, follow ed by drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve the soreness of the 1 muscles and bones from which most patients complain and help the kid neys flush out the poisons.
 To relieve nasal obstructious and 1 excessive discharge from the nose, probably nothing is better than such a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy It will give ] same strength as made up for use in the nose, and as hot as can be borne, 1t quickly arrests soreness and dry I ness in the throat.
 Influenza weakens the patients re- sistance to disease, so that there Is danger of bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To combat this tendency and fortIfy the patients strength in sist that he keep in bed at least two
 lays. Probably nothing will at this 7tage hasten the recovery and .trengthen the patient more than an | ron-tonic tablet called 'Ironttc'' or
 hat we'll known herbal tonic, Dr.
 'terce's Golden Medical Discovery.
 hich has been used by thousands in | !e past two generations.-Adv.
