Mrs. Wilson has receivd the fol-
lowing letter from the nurse who is
attending her son, Gilbert, who was
recently injured by accident in
France.
France, June 18th, 1918.
My Dear Mrs wilson,
Your boy, Gilbert, has asked me
to write you a letter telling about his
accident and just how he is getting
along.
On June 9TH, while he was at his
Camp a grenade burst quite near him
and unfortunately cut his throat very
bad under his chin. In order to
make his breathing possible the Drs.
at the hospital inserted a silver tube
in his trachea, making his breathing
very easy for him and also giving his
wound a chance to heal without over
exertion by using his mouth and
throat in any way.
BY the next day they made an
opening through his abdomen into
his stomach by which we feed him
many nourishing foods in liquid
form, such as milk, gruels, creamed
soups, eggnog, etc.
Gilbert isn't able to speak or use
his voice, due to the trachea tube in
his throat, but we all manage to get
on well by his writing to us, also an
alphabet form we use SO we may
count out the letters and figures he
wants to use.
Two nurses have been on special
duty with him ever since he was adj
mitted, so you may rest assured he
has never been alone at any time.
We are all American nurses at this
Hospital and take care Of our Soldier
Boys. With a few exceptions now
and then, the Doctors are the finest
in our country (baek home) coming
from Yale Medical schools in New
Haven, Connecticut.
Things are pretty lively up here in
general, the boys come down regular
from the field hospital and stay a
few days and then they are sent back
to the Base hospitals until they are
completely we'll
Gilberts Chaplin from his own
company said "he would write you
and also his brother over here.
Mrs Wilson don't worry about your
boy. We are giving him the best
care he could get any where in this

Plenty Of Proof
From People You know-From
 Springdale Citizens.

The greatest skeptic can hardly fail to be convinced by evidence like this. It is impossible to produce better proof of merit than the testimony of residents of Springdale, of people who can be seen at any time. Read the following case of it:
 J. F. Harris, prop. Leader Dry Goods Store, Blair & Maple Sts., Springdale, says: "I had severe at tacks of backache and lameness through my Joins and kidneys. l. hurt me to stoop or lift and could hardly get up or down. Three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills gave me fine relief, in fact, never used another kidney medicine that did me so much good"
 DOAN'S ALWAYS EFFECTIVE.
 Over two years later MT. Harris said: II don't have much occasion to use any kidney medicine now but when 1 do, I take Doan's Kidney Pills

 I've got it right in the nose from every Dutch gun in front of us, but the boys jest yelled and laughed and away they went. Say, they didn't pay no more attention to the major when we came to them rocks than if he hadn't been there at all. went back to give him message from my captain and ne was standing by the rocks and up came the colonel, and the colonel row ed the major for not stopping the bat 'talion where he said, and the major was madder'n hornet, and he came right back at the colonel and he said: How could l stop them crazy, wild eyed sons of perdition? If that hog faced crown prince and his whole Dutch army couldn't stop 'em, what could I do?"'
 What the Marines Do.
 The soldier paused, but spurred him into action again by asking him whether the marines were good fight CTS or not.
 "'Good fighters!' said the soldier; .'say, every time I see marine want to go up and kiss him. You never saw such wild men in fight in your life They just go plumb crazy, that's all If they ever get started they'll never stop till they get to Berlin. Now you listen to me, I know. Say, do you know what I saw them marines do. They had taken three trenches and was stopping in the third to fill their pockets with grenades and bombs be- fore tackling the next trench that was chuck full of boches. The Dutch was using mustard gas and we were all wearing our masks The grenades were passed around and the marines filled their pockets and hung 'em on their belts, and then they whipped off their gas masks and filled 'em up with grenades. Then carrying their masks like they was market baskets up they jumps and down they comes on the Dutch in the next trench all spraddled out and they bombed 'em till there wasn't nothing left alive Oh you marine boys. my hat is certainly off to you

TAKING THE, HUN OFF
 THE kAISER'S PAYROLL

New York, Aug. 3.-Richard Henry Little, once Chicago newspaper man but now a Y. M C. A. worker in France, IS in the city on a short leave of absence. He dropped into a news paper office to see some old friends before he went back to the front, and gave some interesting details of how our boys are coming on over there.
 The greatest test of their endur- ance, he said, is in Paris. The Ameri- can soldier is first-class fighting man, but, as Mir Little put it. "he's q poor matinee idol Consequently when the enthusiastic French women spring from their seats at the side walk cafes and thrust flowers into the doughboy's hands they are ready to run. One big, husky infantryman tried to cross boulevard when a French woman in big auto caught sight of the hero. She ordered her machine stopped and calling him to her. tied bright pink ribbon around his neck. The crowd cheered but the big soldier looked as if he were about to choke to death, although it was a very thin ribbon and loosely tied.
 Il saw him an hour later," said MT. Little. "and he still wore the ribbon Listen, he said; the captain said we was to receive any compliments given us by the French with a smile, and show 'em we appreciated it, but if have to wear this pink ribbon another hour I'll go nuts and bite myself in the leg. For the love of Mike, do some thing
 Il removed the ribbon from his neck and after he grew calm he told me about the first assault of the Ameri- cans against Chateau Thierry a week before

Our fellows are good three ways First, they can shoot. They don't do what they call over here mass fire; that is jest bang away in hopes that big cloud of bull lets will hit something. Our fellows are trained to get their eyes on a German and then kill that guy
 Then next our fellows are as quick as cats and they certainly move fast. And then next they are some handy with the knife Believe me. our fellows are certainly some classy in handling that bayonet thing Ire Duttl are slow and clumsy as baby elephants compred with our toys.
