TOUCH OF WINTER

The Frost King madeja visit to this
city and neighborhood last night. A
cold northeast wind and rain were
prevailing at the close of Yesterday,
which continued during the night
with snow al times.
Forty-eight hours ago dispatches
from the west announced snow, cold
weather and high winds in that Sec
ton, and the Weather Bureau told US
the storm was headed this way.
Last fall was phenomenal for mild
meteorological conditions, and the old
year had finished it, course before
wintry conditions came to US.
While the frigid wave may not be
acceptable to most people, 1t Will
doubtless prove a blessing in disguise,
as the late abnormal weather was be-
lieved to bear the dreaded flu to this
section. While the keen northwest
winds may make inroads into our
coal bins, it is believed it will bring
healthier conditions.
Mr.. Jarndice in "Bleak House" it
will be remembered, was ever inter
'csted in the course Of the wind. lie
regarded ar east wind as ominous and
did all possible to avoid its effect
upon his system. While we are dis
posed to smile at his apprehension, It
may be stated that an Alexandria
physician who recently paid the debt
of nature was being consulted on
grip one day in January while nor
east wind and rain were prevailing.
The doctor. pointing to the north
east, said it comes from that dircc-
ton, so long as the wind holds from
that quarter of the heavens and rain
accompanies it We may expect grip.

Lloyd, vino was CHIEF entomologist

"Typhus. one Of the most dreaded

due TO the activities of lice. The
same remark applies to relapsing
fever over the greater portion Of the

Still a third disease, trench fever,

LETTER FROM FRANCE.

The following letter is copied from
the Winstcn-Salem, n. c., Sentinel.
1t was written by Chas. B. Bailey,
who married Miss Margaret P. Finks,
of this city:
"Well, I'm still in the base hospital,
but l am getting along fine and viii
be glad to leave this hospital, either
to my company or the States. | can
talk lots better new and should be
tiptop shortly.
Believe the Germans gave US every
thing they had in the "book' the last
battle and l consider myself mighty
lucky in getting only little gas.
I am en,lc:ing a clipping from the
Stars and Stripes so you know TIE
S1st was right there with the goods.
The 321st is my regiment and my
company was one Of those that push
ed our advance into the German
trenches.
Our colonel was surely pleased with
Company H. He rode up on his horse
after the fighting had ceased and told
US we had simply done wonderfully.
Our advance was rapid in the face OF
extremely heavy fire. The Germans
laid down what is called fence bar
rage" with their heavy artillery but
there was no stepping US.
On my arrival in England we landed
at LIVERPOOL and took train to Win
chester, we hiked out from there u
miles to Winnall Downs camp Spent
three days there and went across to
Southampton, taking boat across the
Channel and landed at Cherbourg. We
then hiked out eight miles to camp
and spent four days there.
We next took box car trip to Ton
mere, southeast of Paris. We were
loaded like a bunch of horses; il was
some ride. was over fiat wheel 50
you can picture Soldier Bailey.
We hiked y miles out of Tonnere
to little town, Floney, where we
pitched tents and remained two days
Then we went to little village called
Villa Valu where we were given m
tensive training. Villa Valu is about
Is miles from Tonnere where we got
off the train of box cars When the
colonel wanted to look US over we
would hike to Tonnere and pas re-
view, just IS miles, and mind we
came back that night, making just
SC miles.
We were billeted in barns and out
houses. knowing a little French |
was fortunate in getting extra eats
such as des 'oeufs, du pain, du lait
and lie brierre; eggs, bread, milk and
butter. The French would deny tilem-
selves Of bread to get the money.
We next took 20-mile hike to some
town (forgct the name), spen- I1e
night and next day on the box cars
again and rode until two o'clock the
next morning. Get off at another
t,wn and billeted in regular barracks.
Spent week there and then liked I
10 miles and were loaded in trucks

two days and then were moved up to !

about 10 days and were then sent into t

LORE OF THE YULE LOG
Should Be Lighted From Portion Of
Last Years Which Should Be
Preserved for Good Luck.


The Yule-log, probable variant Of
the bonfire-so characteristic of sun
festivals-has some interesting folk
lore of its own.
In medieval England, its duration
conceded with the Christmas revels.
AS long as 1t burned, the tenant had q
right to feed at the lords expense. The
log was often cut from an .ash-tree-
the sacred tree of our Saxon forefath-
ers. There is gypsy legend that our
Lord was born In field and brought
up by an ash-fire.
The log should, properly, be lighted
with q portion Of last years log, q
piece Of which is always supposed to
be preserved for luck. At the same
time that the Christmas fire was lit, the
Christmas candle had to be lighted.
"a portion of last years taper has al
so to be kept.) It was unlucky to SNUFF
the Christmas candle, which burned
for II days-the period Of festivity.
At st. Johns college, Oxford, can still
be seen the ancient stone socket with
the Agnus Del stamp, In which the
Christmas candle was placed on the
high table.
On the Isle of Man, the folk former
~ carried long tapers to church on
Christmas eve.
