Dearest Mother:--

to be at home. If we could only
get our mail it would not be
quite so hard because a letter
always cheers me so. We only
get mail up here about once

from there we 60 to Kristiania.

England. But it is not known
just when we sail for the States.
Soon, l hope. | have already
told you how hard it was to
break through the White Sea and
had to turn back on account of
the ice. We came in behind
four Russian ice breakers and
four English transports, and then
had a tough time of it. You can
imagine how cold it is, and some
times | dream of the Sunny
South and bright green fields.
But it only makes me blue.
Sometime | am coming home
and then no more Navy for me.

weaken. We were at a place
about two weeks ago called
Poppoff. 1t was only IS miles
from the front. A part of our
crew was transferred to the
front from this place.

and went by the way of a Rus

seven miles inland, and from
there | walked about two miles
across the mountains and rocks.
There wasn't enough soil for
anything to grow.
It surely is an awful looking
country, but around here the
soil is rich and the people live
well. | have been visiting a Rus
sian family and it is surprising
how nice they treat me. They
have me to sit down to the table
and eat with them. But l can't
understand their language or
they mine. So you can just
imagine me having a swell time
talking to them. The city looks
beautiful from out in the harbor,
but it isn't very much after get

JULY HEALTH REPORT
Householders Required to
Properly Dispose of Ty-
phoid Discharges. Physi-
clans Required to Give
Necessary instructions.

Since this is the month when
the typhoid climax will be reach
ed, it will not be amiss to call the
attention of the people to the
State law which regulates the
disposal of discharges from
typhoid fever patients. The law
reads as follows:
"Any householder in whose
family there is to his knowledge
a person sick of cholera or typ
hold fever who shall permit the
bowel discharges of such sick
person to be emptied without
first having disintected them ac-
cording to instructions to be OBJ
tanned from the attending physic-
ian or the county superintendent
of health shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor." The law also re-
quires the attending physician
to give the proper instruct ions
for the proper disinfection of the
discharges, as will be seen from
the following clauses of the law,
49, "and any physician attending
a case of cholera or typhoid fever
who refuses or neglects to give
the proper instructions for such
disinfection as soon as diagno-
SIS is made shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor'.
The easiest and most simple
way to disinfect the discharge is
as follows:
Place unslacked lime, the size
of an egg, in each one-half pint
of discharge and then add
a pint of, very hot water.
Stacked or air-slacked lime is of
no value. Or dust about a table
spoon of chloride of lime, some
times called bleaching powder"
or laundry bleach, over each
pint of discharge and add a pint
of boiling water. For large a.
mounts of discharge a proportion
ate increase in the above substan-
ces would be used. After add
ing either of these substances,
including the water, thoroughly
mix the discharge with solution
and allow it to stand two hours
before burying or emptying into
a sewer.
The following cases were re-
ported and were guaranteed
during July:

MILLSB0R0-GR
ON DECORATION DAY

All down-Slate lovers Of baseball Will
go TO NIillsboro on Decoration Day and
witness two games Of ball TO be played
MillsbOrO. NlllsbOrO has won the ma
iorlty OF their games this year, and
Manager West has his team padded TO
perfection and in great shape for these
two games.
Much interest IS being displayed be-
cause Ingram. who pitches for Grace,
and Brittngham. who pitches for the
locals, come from the same town and
are expected 10 be the opposing pitch
ers In one OF the games. Another fact
OF interest is that Jones. the lad who
is playing the keystone sack for Grace,
played a number Of years for Millsboro,
but will be seen playing against his
home team on Friday.
The locals win probably pitch Belts,
The Wesley star, I'm one OF the games,
and I'm all probability Grace will use
Chief Myers or Shauner, the ex-De-
trolter. Belts already has pitched
no-hit game against Milford this year
and IS looked for TO win a game next
Friday.
Millsboro is at thc highest pitch OF
enthusiasm, because never before has
Wilmington team visited the town, and
the boys are expected TO show the up
State lads a good time. They will ar
rive on the train the night before. and
Manager West says that after their
good time they viii go back 10 VIII

Middletown Musings
BY ~aL.S


Iiddlet0vn. 8; Grace, 2. Well, Il
seems as though the Old Middletown
ball team is still in the ring after all.
Pretty good for starter.
That old "has-been," Lefty Finn,
showed mp his criticizers Saturday by
holding the hard-hittlng Grace boys to
five hits. Even that, ShanReF ran him
a close second.
That ninth inning almost gave the
local fans heart failure. Bases loaded
and nobody out, but still the local
boys pulled through without a score.
Shanner sure did pitch in hard luck
throughout the game. Every Middle
town run was scored on errors end
every break went The wrong way for
him.
Any pitcher that can hold the locals
10 six hits snd make Bud walker
futilely lambast the ozone twice, must
be some pitcher.
Charlie Ellsosl, .sge unknown, Is still
up TO his old tricks. Sir Charles man
aged to swipe only~second and third
in the one time he reached base Charlie
seems % he slowing up 70 have moved
et that slow clip.
~Tubby" Gallagher made his presence
felt throughout tie game. II Tubby's'

would initiate cstcher's wind pad for
an entire season
Conserve little on the chatter. Gal
lagher. Not that we care. but ITS well
10 keep little reserve for othet occa-
sions.
Ike Gibbs pulled swell play In the
ninth inning. Ike slipped in fielding
a bunt with the bases loaded. He lay
fat on his back and shot the ball home,

A Good Wife
Editor The Dillon Herald:

Editor The Dillon Herald:
One of the old time Puritan preach
ers took as his text for sermon upon
one occasion the following: "He that
findeth a wife findeth a good thing.
and obtaineth favor of the Lord
Here is an excerpt from his sermon:
"A good wife should be like three
things, which three things she should
not be like. She should be like snail
to keep within her house; but she
should not be like a snail to carry all
she has on her back. She should be
like an eco, to answer when she is
called: but she should not be like an
echo, always to have the last word.
She should be like town clock, al
ways keeping time with regularity;
but she should not be like town
clock, speaking so loud as to be heard
over all the town."
