KAHN WRITES LETTER
Young Man Will Come. Back To
America Wearing Stripes
Of Honor

Corporal Carl f. KAHN wrote the fol
lowing letter to Judge w. L. Com
stock:
LeMans, France, March 20, 1919
Hon. W. L. Comstock, Mankato, Mimi
Dear Friend: Still here in the Amer
lean camp at LeMans and using the
pick and shovel. We have been using
them since the first of the year.
There are still four of the boys
from Blue Earth county here. Fred L.
Larson and / are still together in the
same company. Ole Iundberg and
Buck Ramo are in another regiment
in this camp SO we see each other
quite often and we are feeling fine
except for longing to be back in
Mankato.
We are in a casual company, but let
me say that we do not have any ven-
ereal diseases. We boys have heard
reports that it is published in the pa
per that the casuals over here have
venereal disease and are A. w. 0. LIS,
but it is doing many OF the boys in
justice, for an examination by the
camp surgeon failed to find single
case and many of the regular divisions
cannot say that. If the boys were
home and could defend themselves it
would not be so bad, but they are not
giving the boys chance to say a
world. We hear there is an ilyogtiga-
ton going on which will help TO clear
up this Misunderstanding.
Do you remember the last day in
your office? You told\ me to come
back with stripes. l have two of
them, but expect to have another one.
Do not know when we will get
home but am in the hopes of being
there soon.
Kindly have this published in The
Free Press so it will give the boys
over here chance. and so the peo-
pie at home will understand that we
are as clean as any of the boys
Respectfully yours, Carl Kalin.

Prison was imposed by Federal Judge
Lands Thursday on Congressman
elect Victor L. Berger, of Milwaukee,
and four other Socialist leaders, who

spiracy to obstruct the draft in viola
ton of the espionage act, obtained
their releases on $4,000 bail from
Judge Alschuler. They declared they
would carry their legal fight to the

frain from resuming their former acts
and utterances during tendency of
their case. William Bross Lloyd, Chi

SIMPLE HOME REMEDY

raised a family of eight is her story
remarkable. Thousands of families
are larger. The history of the Koch
family is unique In that the mother,
with all her loving care, pinned her
faith 10 a simple home remedy and
never hal a doctor for her children.
Here is what she says: "Peruna has
done my children good. / have

doctor, only your medicine. We all
think Peruna a splendid tonic"
So far as we have learned, Pc
runa is the only known remedy for
which such a wonderful claim can
be made. Like Mrs. Koch, there
are thousands upon thousands of
mothers who place their entire de-
pendence upon Peruna.
That Peruna has merited this
confidence is attested by the words
