 a friend is handed to us for publica- ton and will be read eagerly by his acquaintances here, who had lost sight of him while he was in the great fight across the big pond. No young man ever went out of Newport who was rushed through faster than he, and his friends are glad to know he is we'll and coming home some day. He is with the Second American Army and in located at Foul, France.
 The letter follows:
 Foul, France, Dec. 8, 1918.
 Dear Friend: I suppose you will be surprised to hear from me, but nevertheless am writing. I am sta toned for the time being in Foul, France. 1t is little town, and needless to say, very dull one. I think we will leave for Germany in a week or so. have had some exper- fences since I left the states. It took us IA days to cross the ocean. There was nothing to the trip until we got in the Bay of Biscay. Here we en- countered five submarines, but they did not fire torpedo. I think they came up to see what was on the sea, and when they ascertained they again disappeared in the sea. We had convoy of about 25 torpedo boat de- stroyers They dropped about 40 depth bombs in the sea and claim to have destroyed two of the subs. We landed at Brest and stayed there four days. We didn't have any barracks to sleep in there so had to pitch our little tents in mud field. We slept on the ground and about midnight it began to rain. At one o'clock our tent was full of water, so that ended the sleeping. We got out and stood in the rain the balance of the night. It rained every day we were there and of course our stay was not very pleasant. We left there in "cattle cars" and stopped at another place for about a week. My company left me in this town Chateau Du Loix) on detached service. have never seen my company since. don't know where they went or where they are now A few days after they left, I. with three others were sent up to the front (Verdun). There was lively time going on up there and l will never forget my first day Il never heard so much noise in my life, but I got used to the noise and "ducking shells" My face would not have bit of respect" for the mud" when a shell would explode too close to me. Just fall right down in it. By the time night would fall l would resemble mud baby more than any thing else. Then too, the Germans would shoot us few gas shells ev- cry now and then.

Daily Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE.
BY DIR. W. LUCAS

People get sick because they 90 away
from Nature, and the only way to get
well is to go back. Something grows ont
OF the ground in the form OF vegetation
10 cure almost every i'll. Some OF these
vegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not. Animals, it
would seem, know what to do when
they are sick better than men and
women. Observers have noted that 4
sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable
growth in the field or yard, which, when
found and eaten, often restores appetite
and health, Haven't you seen these
animals do this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, n. Y, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
vided by Nature TO overcome constipa-
ton, and he had these vegetables col
lected and made up OF Mayapple, leaves
of Aloe, root of Jalap into little white
sugar coated pills, that he called Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must
understand that when your intestine.
are stopped up, poisons and decaye
matter are imprisoned in your system
and these are carried by the bloc
throughout your body. Thus doe
your head ache, You get dizzy, yor
can't sleep, your skin may break out
your appetite declines, you get tire,
and respondent, As matter of fact
you may get sick all over. Don't yol
isee how useless all this suffering is
All that is often needed is u few o
lDr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which HI
has placed in all drug stores for you
convenience and health. Try them b,
} all means. They are probably the YER
thing you need right now.
