Soldiers Letters

| Mrs. Anna Newcomb has received
this mail, but the latest was dated
January 5th, and is as follows:
Dear Wife and Baby:
Just received a letter from you.
1t has been about six weeks since 1
have heard from you, and I was wor-
ried very badly. as 1 thought you
| had the "fu," but l was surprised
when 1 read the letter saying that
you were well, and were getting along
alright. 1 guess everybody over there
will have the flu before it is over
be very thick. You said you were
afraid the baby would get it. Yes,
Anna, you must take care Of the ba-
by, and remember you can catch the
! ''fiu" as well as the baby, so you
must be careful yourself, and not go
| in it.
Anna, got weighed on New Years
Day, and l weighed $50 pounds,
which is not SO bad. We have every
Saturday afternoon off, and Sunday
all day. We had Christmas Day off.
New Years Day, and some day this
month we have seven days off to- go
anywhere we want to, and l think
would like to go to Paris. but they
won't allow us to go there.
Anna, it is cold here some days,
and some days it is just like sum-
mer. The grass still growing over
here. l wish you could come over
here. We have pretty scenery, es-
pecially in the summer time. Well,
am in the Army Candidate School
yet, but it will be discontinued, but 1
don't mind that at all, because it
would not do me much good, as the
war is now over, and l do not want
to stay in the army any longer than
have to, so 1 don't care bit.
I Anna, 1 have not received my
Christmas box yet; lots of the boys
have received them, but / nave not,
and l will be glad when it comes, be-
cause l would like to have one more
| piece of candy from the U. S. A,and
I know it will be good, even if there
isn't any candy in the box, just so
it is from home. Today is Sunday,
and l am so lonely, nearly all of the
boys went up town today; I did not
want to go, but now l wish 1 had
gone, because I have nothing at all
to do after I finish this letter. l
thought l had, but have not, or at
least it makes me happy , when
think l am going to get to come home
soon l heard today that We would
be on our way home by the first of
February: now don't that sound
good? But l ain afraid to believe it,
because we often hear that. I know
they have had this school on it's way
home a hundred times, and we are
still here.
Well, when l get back to dear old
Cambridge I will be some proud, be-
lieve me. Answer soon, and take
care of Levin, Jr., and yourself.
Your loving husband,
Sergt. Levin Newcomb.

Health Sunday

The appeal of Surgeon General
Rupert Blue to the churches to set
aside Sunday, February %, as
Health Sunday" will undoubtedly
be widely observed, particularly by
those ministers who recognize the
gravity of the social problem presen-
ted by rehabilitation. The cam
>paign for clean nation, which Sur
geon General Blue is carrying on,
backed by President Wilson and the
principal members of his Cabinet, de
pends on law enforcement; on provi-
sion being made for all who are
found to be infected with venereal
disease, on intelligent, humane and
careful guidance and treatment of
the women who through immoral
practices have been the chief spread
ers of the venereal diseases, and on
education And the greatest of these
Is education.
In this phase of the campaign the
pulpit can be Immensely helpful. The
people must be urged to make them
selves acquainted with the facts.
Through the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice all the facts are made available
to every responsible citizen. In his
appeal, Surgeon General Elue SEN
ses part of the difficulty of dealing
with these matters from the pulpit,
but, at the same time, he shows the
way out. He says:
while it may not seem always eX-
pedient to discuss at length the rava-
ges of venereal disease before audi
ences composed of both sexes and of
widely different ages "a sermon on
/ the responsibility of the churches for
the health and social morals would
give an opportunity to stress the
particular problem of rehabilitation
as a part of the larger public health
problem. The pastor may also urge
upon his people the timeliness of a
campaign for civic cleanliness, both
physical and moral, in view of the
expected return of the men and Wo-
men who had gone out to make sac
rifice in the great crusade of righte-
BUSINESS and freedom. Not only
should they find, upon their return,
a warm welcome from the religious
forces of the home community, but
the churches should see that, so far
as possible, the sources of temptation
are removed and wholesome recrea-
tion and social companionship pro-
vided."
So the way is pointed out by which
this subject, so vital to the health
and the efficiency of the nation, may
be brought squarely to the attention
Of the churchgoers of the countr.-.
1t is a tremendous fight that has
