Why Vacher-Balm stops all kinds of
pain and soreness so quickly is that it
stops Inflammation, therefore nothing
gives quicker relief for Mumps, Head
ache, Burns, etc. 1t also quickly re-

may be used internally.

the expense of being annoyed by it.

LETTER FROM GERMANY

Riden, Germany, February 8, 1913. MT. Bernard Dover, Arkinda, Ark. Dear Brother: Will tell you some
 thing about Germany as I haven't any thing to do today. The first thing is
 the coldest place in the world. l have not seen the ground in most month.
 l.. showed for IA days and nights It did not snow hard but some snow fall ing all the time. The first month
 was in Germany it rained almost every day. It is the prettiest place l ever
 saw. It has hills and valleys, no level land at all. The hills look so pretty
 and the steepest hills are set in grap-
 es, the valleys are planted in rye,
 wheat and turnips, and some planted ir potatoes. That is all the crop l have seen. The worst of all they cul- tivate all of this with their milk COWS for there is not many horses in this country. A good horse will cost 2,60O marks, equal to about $325, and COW almost as much. A ~.ry small hog will cost $2O0 What do you think
 about that? The people live in the same house with the chickens, COWS, sheep, hogs, horses and goats; only in separate rooms, but listen, live with them all. ha, ha.
 I am living or staying in the house
 with Dutch family. They are awful
 good to me. I have a nice room all
 to myself When feel bad and sleepy from being up all night on guard the
 old lady makes me teas as I can't tell
 her what is wrong Ha. I have two girls here at my house. You ought to see me trying to talk. I can only
 make motions. Ha. Wait just a min- ute, mother is bringing me a glass of
 milk o gee, that milk sure was good. Fla. I always call her mother for that
 is all I can say in Dutch. Well, you asked me if I did any fighting. Well
 l didn't do any real fighting, but I did
 enough. The day peace was made We
 were on the Ines, and were going over the top at { o'clock and they quit l fighting at IT. See, was lucky. Say l saw Crowr Princes cIg out and a million moro and enough barb wire | to fence to IT nited States. There is a town about ever mile over here, and
 can't buy a-y thing. A bar of soap | costs 9 mari s; that is about $1.25 and
 small towel cost $1; how's that? | This leaves me we'll as ever; hope | ifSwill find you folks all we'll. o, gee
 it is some cold here; it is 15 below
 zero today I didn't do much today
 but I don't care. Ha. Write all the news and answer soon.
