FROM HENRY JARVIS
Mutt

The following extracts are from let ters received by Mrs. Chas. Jarvis from her son, Henry, who was with Battery A from this place until last spring when he volunteered for over sea service and was sent across. He IS with the Rainbow Division and has been in several battles:
 Neuenarh, Germany, Dec. 28, 1918.
 Dear Mother:- Six months ago today l sailed from Hoboken, N. J. and five months ago yesterday I land ed at the front at Chateau-Thierry. So you see l wasn't long getting to the front. Battery F, 150th F. A. is in the Rainbow Division, guess you have read in the papers about that bunch. The Dutch called us the Flying Division" and believe me we would fly around some once in awhile. l believe we have done more hiking than any other troops over here But l guess they all think that We are close to Coblentz and about miles from the Rhine We have been hik- ing almost all the time since Nov. 3rd. 1 don't know how many miles we have come. We started out up near Sedan, France and here We are in Neuenahr, Germany. They claim there are 126 hotels here There sure is bunch of them and some fine ones too. It is big summer resort. The part of Germany we came through is all mountains. They grow grapes on the sides of bluffs that a goat couldn't stand on and do most of their cultivation with hoe
 Dec. 3o.-I hope this finds you well. Guess you had great Christ mas. We had a good dinner of roast pork, creamed spuds and pud- ding and bar of chocolate on the side.
 The sun Is shining this morning. believe it is the prettiest day I have seen since landing in Germany but it may be raining before night
 We are eating off plates now days. Everything is put on the table in large bowls and We go to the table and help ourselves, just like we were at home. It sure beats living out of mess kits. We can buy candy here but are not allowed to buy pie or cake or anything that has flour in it. Every time I bury my teeth in a hard tack I think of those good biscuits mother used to make. I don't think 1t will be long until will be back with you, and as you say 1t will be great day

FROM C. H. RASH, JR.

The following letter was received from c. II. Rash, Jr by his sister. Mr. Rash is member of the 64th F. A., A. F. F.:
 Augers, France, Dec 31, 1918.
 Dear Sis:- got your letter and will try to write something about the ancient and interesting country of France.
 l haven't met any 'mademoiselles yet that exactly suited my taste. and l don't think there is any danger of my coming home with French bride as my vocabulary does not contain "beau coup" words. l don't saw what they are driving at and they don't "compre" my lingo I started out to talk about the country. I went through the old castle on the Loire, and saw where they used to execute the prisoners and where Count-somebody- was shot. l went through the cathedral at Notre Dame and the museum of some long name and will send you pictures of the places if get to go to town again. There isn't much in Montmorillore or in BourgA (some name) There is an ancient chateau built in twelve hundred and some odd, which is kept up by rich family living there. The moat is 100 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The people at Mont morillore are much higher class than here and don't mooch you for sous and cigarettes when you go promenad- ing.
 We had a great Christmas dinner with turkey and everything that goes with it. It is the second one l have had to compare with it, the last one being at Fort Bliss, Fl Paso, last Christmas.
 The transportation is great. There is brass trimmed little engine with whistle like peanut roaster. We ride in what are called side door Pull mans, in fact box cars, which contain 40 men; we sit in the doors and lei our feet hang out and hoot at every

which 1 can tell you when I return home. saw a small cemetery where French soldiers were buried on one side of the path and German sold iers buried on the other.
 We passed through the places where the French and Germans bat tied for over two years without either side advancing very much. At a cross road in this vicinity I saw a human skull which had been placed on the roof of small sentry box by some U. s. soldier. Through Bel gium and Luxembourg we received a hearty welcome from the people. But in Prussia they of course were not so sociable, as they were our worst enemies. As you may know the Kaiser depended mostly on the Prus- sian Guards and they were a bad bunch. They were the ones who did most of the killing of women and children during the war.
 After we passed out of Prussia we met people who were more friendly.

GIANT MANAGER
HAD A HAND IN
SALE Of BRAVES
George Washington Grant, the
Movie Magnate Who Ran
ShoeString Into Millions, Is
Long Friend of MCGraW.
BY William Abbott.

John McGraw is without IA peer as
baseball "fixer." He's been the
consulting engineer in nearly every
big diamond deal of the past few
years. McGraw interested Charles
Stoneham to purchase the Giants
club from the Brush estate. When
the Yankees changed hands few
years ago McGraw was the one who
induced Col. Huston and Jake Rup-
pert to enter baseball. And the lat
est baseball transfer, the sale of the
Boston Braves to George Washington
Grant finds the Giants manager in
his well known fixing capacity. Nc
Graw and Grant have long been
friends and it is understood that the
Giants leader was mainly responsible
for the deal that put Grant, new.
conner to baseball, at the head of the
Boston Nationals.
And this man Grant is the sort that
would delight fiction writer's who de-
pict their heroes running shoe strings
into fortunes. In the early days of
movie pictures. George Washington
Grant who had tried his hand at
various things, decided to conquer the
foreign screen world His assets at
the time were coolies of nerve and
a bankroll of $3.50. Mr.. Grant es-
sayed to make his flyer in London.
This was the start. The finish deals
mostly with powerful string of
movie picture houses operated by
Grant in both London and Paris as
well as extensive interests in New
York. And Broadway will tell you
that the Grant bankroll has swelled
to millions. ..,
Sitting on top of his pile, Mr., Grant
some weeks ago announced his desire
of anneXing a good major league
franchise. There were a number of
bail clubs on the market at the time.
James e. Gaffney was just as eager
to sell his Boston Braves as Mr., Grant
was to purchase a club. And what
could be easier than the two get to-
gether and swap? Which was exact
ly what they did after Manager Me-
Graw got busy on both parties.
Mr.. Grant, announcing his pur-
chase in Boston, stated he will be
president of the club and that George
Stallings will remain as manager.
The new owner, according to this re-
port, has given Stallings authority to
so in the market after all the play
ers the Braves require. President
Grant says he hopes to announce the
purchase of several new stars before
the opening of the season.
No one was more interested in the
recent baseball meeting at the Wal
dorf than George Washington Grant,
who made it a point to drift in on
everything that was up. Quiet, but
very business like, he was receiving
his baseball printing, for it was after
the Waldorf meeting that he con-
fided to close friends his ambition to
breaking into the national pastime.
His purchase of the Braves makes the
second National league club that has
changed hands this year

Rich Red Blood Natures Safe

Do you realize how much
your health and efficiency of
mind and body depend upon
the condition of your blood?
Your body is made up of, cells
each one too small to be seen
except under a powerful mic
roScope, each one a workman
that has to be fed, built up, re-
built, cleansed of waste matter,
encouraged to do its work eff

Impure, impoverished or pois-

the irritated parts, which is
only temporary relief.
No one ever heard of a per-
son being afflicted with any
form of skin diseases whose
blood was in good condition.
Therefore it is but logical to
conclude that the proper meth
