Boche's Favorite Sport.
"The Boche's favorite SPORT" he
declared sis letting the line opposite
him rest in peace for a few days,
thinking everything quiet, and then
burst out in the middle Of the night
with gas attack. When the siren
blows it strikes fear into the hearts
of even the bravest of soldiers, for
there is something peculiarly uncanny
about gas. 1t creeps up and gives
no warning Of its approach and in
flicts a wound that is a thousand
times more terrible and painful than
any shell ever manufactured. How
ever, | always managed to get my
mask on in plenty of time and I
never got caught, though I've seen
men drop around me like flies. But
in a tank when gas attack is in
progress it is terrible. The air in
side tank is sitting anyway, but
when one has to wear a gas mask be-
sides, it's just plain hell"

Word comes from Copenhagen
that Horace Fletcher, the well-known
dietitian has now passed on. Al
though he has left many books in the
interest of human welfare, he gave
one big idea to the world that is
fundamental, and it will never die

threescore years and ten he wa,

more you chewed your food the more
taste and pleasure you would get out
of it, the longer you would live, at
first we used to regard it as some
thing as a fad. But it's truth has
been proven over and over again.
This week a friend of mine has
had an X-ray made Of his teeth, hav

trouble. 1t was ascertained that he
chewed most of his food on his front
teeth; that the food did not mix
properly with the saliva in the
mouth, and that down it went into
the stomach in a state in which that
organ was not made to receive it
The one thing that the doctor pre-
scribed was, "Chew your food"

Dear Editor
This being Christmas day | will say
Christmas gift to Greene county
lends and hello to everybody. Hope
you are all having a Merry Christ
mas. We are enjoying ourselves
very much. We had a Christmas
tree today and we all got something
but if it hadn't been for our officers,
we would not have had very much
Christmas. They bought us some
candy cigarettes and chocolates, and
you can bet that is sonnet! ing a sol
der likes. We boys in Company |
are very sorry we haven't the money
to buy our officers a nice Christmas
present each, as they have gone to
lot of trouble and expense for us.
Our officers are Captain Muir
dock; Lieuts. Wall, Snyder and
Chase. want the people Of Greene
county to know they have done their
best to give us a good Christmas.

had to close last night for | now have
something more to say. We went
out for drill this morning while thu
ground was white with snow, about
an inch deep. We drilled for while
and then went out for a rabbit hunt
Our drill field is near a dense for
est and we can scare up all kinds of
wild animals. This morning we
started a jack-rabbit, but let him get
away from us. We next scared up
what we people call for squirrels
We got one and let one get away
This ended the hunt as we thought
but some Of the boys were in front
and ran into bunch of wild deer.
There were six and we got after one
and caught him. There we're about
one hundred and sixty-fve men after
him, and he was coming like a streak
of lightning Three or four of us
made dive for him, one of the boys
making a flying tackle. The boy and
deer both hit the ground, but the
boy held onto the deer, and we who
were close to him helped him, and
we finally brought him home alive by
tying his feet together and carrying
him.
The Major and other officers had
a good laugh when we came in carry
him. They said that Co. app must
be a very swift company, and we
think so ourselves.
The Germans in the big building
in which Co. az is staying gave a
dance last night, and we soldier boys
had a jolly good time They furnish
us plenty of amusement but we would
much prefer being at home.
We hope to be home by July, and
here's hoping we get there.

But that isn't all that Horace
Fletcher gave to the world. He was
philosopher. He went on the the
DRY that all our ills and thrills are
located "above the gillotine line"
that is to say, that they originate in
the head.
He not only believed IN chewing
your food thoroughly, but was
against chewing your worries at all.
For example, besides "Fletcheriz-
ing" he gave me one idea that has
stood me in good stead for many a
day. 1t goes something like thisi
"You can't be on the crest Of the
wave all the time. When the wave
goes down, don't resist too hard, but
go with the wave and rest in its shall
low place until you again come up on
the crest. Save your strength and
shouting until you are again on that
crest"
This is certainly worth while phi
losophy. 1t is to say that you can't
have everything your own way all
the time. You can't be hitting the
high spots and occupying the center
of the stage continually There are
times when the human must be will
ing to go with the tide in order to be
strong enough to meet the issue
when he is again on top.
Thus it happens that many people
try to force thing, insisting that it
must go through against all odds.
Very, very often the thing would
come to pass much quicker if they
would not insist too strongly, but
rather let the natural course to pro-
coed until the occasion was opportune
for the contamination of what is de-
sired.
How many people have known
to suffer and lose out because of
this unwillingness to wait and to
practice the patience that perseveres.
Horace Fletcher is dead, but the
world is better for his having lived.
The truths that he expounded will
continue until the end Of time.
1t is worth while to have lived and
left even one great idea.

CLEAR SPRINGS

The flu has been raging in this sec
ton for some three or four weeks
and has left so many sad homes, as
in many instances death has been the
result.
Mrs. Joe Martin and infant died
last week Of the flu, and a Mrs. Hale
few days later died at the same
place with the flu. On last Sunday
Miss Geneva Upton died at her home
near here. She had been in a criti-
cal condition for some time. Then
many friends regret very much to
hear of the death of these good peo,
Pile. Let US extend to the ones left
our deepest sympathy.
Another sad death which brings
tears to our eyes, and heart so sad
words cannot express, is the death OF
Mrs. Nola Dotson, which occurred on
the morning of January 18th, 1919
at her home of double pneumonia
following an attack of the flu. oh!
how sad it is to think we have to part
with one we loved so we'll. But oul
way is not Gods way, so we will have
to trust in the Lord as she did, and
all will be right some day. Mrs. No.
la Phillips, nee Dotson, was barn
September 9th, 1878, professet
faith in Christ at an early age, join
ed the church at Pleasant Vale, but
later removed her membership to
Clear Springs NJ E. church, where
she was a faithful and active mem,
Der. She was married to Bert L
Dotson Nov. 5th, 1899. She leaves
husband, one daughter and two sis
tiers; two brothers, host of relatives
and a number Of sad and broken
hearted friends to mourn their grea
loss. Her husband, daughter, Clara
Sue, and sister were alone by her
bedside when the great white robed
angels came into their happy home
to carry our dear friend Nola's soul
across the dark river into the beauti
full land up yonder. She will be
missed so much in the Sunday school
and Church work, as she was alwayi
at her post of duty everywhere. No
night was too dark nor cold for her
to go to anyone in distress. The
neighborhood has no doubt lost one
of it's best helpers in time of need
How can we ever go to the singing
choir without her, as she and | sang
together practically all the time?
As we enter the church door, Oh
how sad, not to see her sweet face,
can almost hear her sweet voice
singing now song we sang so many
times,-"Pm On My Way to Glory
What would ] give to hear her just
one more time sing that song? We
should grieve after one so faithful
and true. She is now singing with
the happy angel band, where they
never have to say good bye. Hel
lifeless form was laid to rest in the
Pleasant Vale cemetery. On account
of her husband and daughter not be
ing able to be out only short dis
tance, the services were very brief
and were held in the home. Her flu
neral will be preached in the early
spring by her favorite pastor, Rev
Fred Watson. We extend our
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
husband and daughter, as we know il
is so sad and lonely without her In
the home a voice we loved is stilled
and there is vacant chair that none
but Nola can fill.
We are glad Mr.. and Mrs. Bate
Parker are able to be out again.
Rev. T. E. Goodman filled his reg.
ular appointment Sunday.
Mr.. Emory Norris has mumps
We hope he may be out again soon.
