Dads Day" Letter
From France
November, 26th, 1918.

Dear Ones Back Home
Sunday was day Set apart to
write a letter known as Dads
Christmas Letter." telling all we have
ever done or seen, but as we on the
move southwark, | failed to get to
write on that day. AS | have no
father, i will write mamma and all;
and when | speak Of all, it includes
Brandon's.
Well, we are now near lie Mons,
France. But first | will start and
mention some Of our long journeys
by foot, rail and water. We first
sailed from Hoboken, N. j., on May
10th, 1918, landed in Liverpool, En-
gland, on May 2Srd, took the train
for Dover at 1890, a. M, the same
day. After being on thee train
from 1880 a. m. to 80, a. m, the
following day, we landed in Dove, af-
ter passing through London. We left
Dover at 2:15 p. m. the Gath, and
sailed across the English Channel to
Calais, France, in time for supper
the same day. After staying here
for three days, and being equipped
with gl.ns and bayonets we set out
for a long hike. The day afterwards
we reached a little village called
Norbie Court, France, and believe
me, we were almost worried to death,
but after little rest we began train
ing to fight the boche. After train
ing for several months we started on
another long hike for the Ypres
front. We crossed into Belgium on
the Fourth of July. 1t sure was a
very unpleasant way to celebrate the
Fourth, but nevertheless we did not
grumble, because we knew it was a
task We must perform whether pleas
ant or unpleasant. After passing in
to Belgium for a few miles we stop
ped at Proven. We stayed here for
about six weeks and during this time
/ visited the Ypres front several
times, more for experience than any
thing else. While there | saw a few
raids BY the English which ended by
4 hand to hand fight. It soon came
our turn as company to take over
the front. After about four days
in the trenches we went back for a
few miles for a little rest. After
staying in dug-outs for awhile we
we're sent back as battalion. We

which they did breaking the linden

fought their way for several miles in
spite of the boches' machine gun fire.
After holding their objective a few
days, they. were relieved by other
troops and came out for a few days

for the excellent work they had done.

Influenza, Colds,

Sore Throat
Spreading Throughout the
Country.

Many are finding relief from in
fluenza, Colds, Sore Throat and per-
haps preventing Pneumonia, it is said,
by the use Of Miller's Antiseptic Oil
(xnown as Snake Oil). It's great
penetrating, pain-relieving qualities
insure almost instant relief when ap-
piled freely on the chest, or throat
yell creased when first symptoms
arise. The Oil penetrates through
ts the affected parts and tends to
open up the air passages, making
breathing more easy, relieving the
pains And for the cough a few
drops on little sugar usually brings
prompt relief. Don't fail to have a
bottle on hand when the attack
comes on, and If used according to
directions results are assured, or your

NEW HOME HEATING METHOD
Radiator Roiler Is Invention of Sol
dier-Enaincer.

What is said to be one Of the great
est inventions OF the present century
and called The radiator boiler-wa
recorded recently at the United
States patent ciTico in Washington.
1t is claimed that this new invention
is especially useful in farm houses,
school houses, summer cottages, sub
urban railways stations, small dwell
ings in town or city, and in large city
flats where each tenant has to supply
his own heat.
Strangely enough. this is one of
the good things that has come from
the great war. Ii is the invention of
soldier-engineer The heating OF
barracks and hospitals, where there
were no cellars, was problem. and
il set him TO thinking. The result
IS hot-water system that can be
packed up and moved around almost
as easily as the family piano. From
the radiator-boiler runs the piping to
the radiators in other rooms--all
heated by the same fire!
Here are some of the things he
promises il will do:
Save fuel--only one fire is needed,
and the 40 per cent of heat that a
stove or hote-air furnace wastes in
the stove pipe is used to heat the
wate,
Prevent lires-for the boiler is
water-hacked and it can stand ON
wooden floor with perfect safety.
Besides. the legs are cast solid and
cannot be knocked out-the radiator
boiler will not upset
Lasting 1t viii not wear out, burn
out, warp like a stove, or be found
useless if building is altered ltl
can be enlarged or made smaller with
ease.
Saves money--by saving fuel;
saves labor of climbing up and down
stairs and feeding many fires; saves
doctor bills by keeping all rooms at
an equal temperature; and outlasts
the building in ',ch it stands. since
it is made OF castiron, which is prac- !
tically mdestructible.
This invention marks another vic /
tory for the great mass of the people !
over hard living conditions.
