Dear Mrs Smith-Your card came
none too soon, for sometime, some
one, guessed that l was in Co. H,
15Sth inf, and they guessed wrong,
and so I've had hard time getting my
mail.
l am in Co. A, 15Sth inf, and if you
will please correct the error in adj
dressing my mail, I'll get it a month
sooner, the mail orderly's sunny dis
position will be restored, and my
friends in Ray really will be in touch
with me.
All of the boys are in the best of
health and spirits and now at the end
of their training, look and act like real
soldiers.
On the 22nd, the final review will
be held, and we wish the people of
Ray could be here to witness the
mammoth affair Gov. Hunt will be
here, though, so, of course, he will tell
you how we vampires" perform.
Yes, we have lost old nicknames of
Copper Diggers" and ella Mon
sters," and now we are vampires"
since Theda Barra has become our
gOdmOther.
Must sound taps" on this before
it becomes a book, so regards to all.

Early Shopping Is Urged
Make Your Selections Now

Early shopping is now the slogan of
the Salem merchants.
Complying with the wishes of the
ate council Of defense merchants in
the city of Salem are already placing
on exhibit their holiday goods.
Already at a majority of the stores
ond in fact in all who make a speciality
of holiday offerings may be seen the
complete line of Christmas presents.
Instead of he grand rush of buying
beginning about the first of December
it is thought that by offering a com
pleto lines of thtir holiday presents so
early in the season, that people will be
gin AZ once and moke their selections.
As this is military year, ,his early
showing is of special advantage as the
order has been issued that no Christ
mas presents will be mailed to the sold
iers across the water after Nov. Is.
As presents for soldiers must be small
ones, here will be the early shopping
to secure such that m be stint in the
Red Coss cartons 8 by by 9 inches.
Another idea held by the state coun-
Gil Of defense was thai by early shop
pin and by distributing the retail sea-
sons business over two and a half
months, there would nca be the need Of
securing the large additional help SO
customary beginning early in Decem-
Der. Shoppers will find late in the sea-
son that there will be no extra clerks
as usual to care for the late rush.
The Business Men S League, compris-
ing all of the progressive mcrchan n in
Solem unanimously voted to put on
their entire showing of holiday offer
ings and the same may be found in the
stores, sr

The quartermaster got in communica-
tion at once with Armour and company
and it developed that this particular
ration was a mixture Of wheat and
beef and ground to a powder and three
cakes of chocolate
The special machinery necessary for
putting up this ration had been dismant-
led years before but when the urgency
was made clear the Armour officials at
once made the telegraph wires hot in
locating the needed equipment at the
various plants and in ordering the i'm
mediate assembling of the machinery
at Kansas City.
: In ordinary times the task would
have been a matter of months but with
necessity as the spur, the actual pack
ing Of ssiron rations' was started the
first part of August.

mour concern has been directed to
make second million as rapidly as
the work can be done and last week
the government asked for bids ON an
additional three million.
Soldiers are not permitted to open
the emergency rations except on order
of an officer OF in dire extremity. They
are meant to sustain life when man
is caught in shell hole in no mans
land or is otherwise prevented from OBJ
tanning food.
The meat and wheat powder in tho
tin can be eaten dry in an emergency
but if water is available it makes pal
atable cruel or soup and when allowed
to thicken and harden, it can be fried
and eaten with relish. The chocolate
content can be eaten as it is or made
into drink.

Representatives Of the submerged

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles OF two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish. first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing. be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
