Letters From "Ouer There"

trip over, Eh? We left Camp Jack
son July "a and arrived at Jersey
City about 800 o'clock Friday morn
ing, July 26. We continued oCr
Journey and arrived at Camp Mills,
IL l., about three in the afternoon.
We were at Camp Mills nearly two
weeks after which we left for the
port of embarkation at N. Y. We lay
IN dock the night of the seventh OF
August, having loaded during the
day. We sailed the 8th of August,
landed at Liverpool at midnight, Aug.
10 We debarked and marched four
miles to rest camp at Knotty Ash,
After spending one night there we
took a train for Southampton where
we spent another night in rest
camp. The following day we crossed
the English channel, arriving at LIE
Harve, France. By the way, | saw
the second largest boat afloat, the
Olympic. After spending one night
in LIE Harve we boarded a train for
two days arriving at Pierre Fontaine,
our destination, and place of train
ing. We remained there two months
nearly and then went to Valdahon
for 3 weeks to get our final train
ing for the front. We left the latter
on the day of the 18th of November
for the front. We went to a town by
the name of Chauteau-Villian near
Chaumont for two weeks and then
we have been here since Thanksgiv-
ing day. The people seem to be very
nice, though we have to pay dearly
for that which we purchase.
Well, shall have to close. Write
anytime for I shall be glad to hear
from you. Do not know when I shall
set home or when or where I am 60
ing any time We have been goins
home for long time in our thoughts
but have not made much effort.

LETTER FROM ROBT. L. RISER
TO CARL WHEELER.
Pothieres, France, Feb. 8, 191:

Pothieres, France, Feb. 8, 1919
Dear Carl
Your letter was waiting for me
when I came back off of my leave, 4
am glad that you took time to write
me few lines and wish you would
do so oftener. I am glad to know
that you all are doing fine. I am 0
X and am still on the job. I am
sorry to hear of the "flu" raging
again in and around home. About
two months after we came over here
many of our boys died with that
much dreaded disease. I thought once
I was going to get it but felt real
sick only for a few days.
Yes, we had been having plenty
rain too but there has been snow on
the ground for a week and I hope it
will continue to snow instead of rain
ing all the time saw plenty snow
on a mountain when I was away on
leave. I had a grand time while
away and too I wish you could have
been with US. There were plenty OF
amusements to occupy our time We
are expecting now soon to get a three
day leave to Paris and believe me, L
shall be proud of that, for that is the
desire of nearly every A. E. F. sol.
dier.
You still want to know about my

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean. sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom ILL.,.

If you are accustomed to wake UP
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
dull, dizzy headache: or. if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it. This Is intended to
first. neutralize and then wash out Of
your stomach liver, kidneys and thirty
feet of intestines all the indigestible
waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins,
thus cleansing. sweetening and puri-
flying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipa-
ton or any form OF stomach trouble.
are urged to get a quarter pound Of
limestone phosphate from the drug
store and begin enjoying this morning
inside bath. 1t is said that men and
women who try this become enthusi-
astic and keep it up daily.
Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, Limestone phos-
plate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.-Adv.
