" Trifles" That Foster
Good Will

DoES it pay to bother with them
- those little things that
don't make a nickers worth Of
difference?" 1t does, indeed.
Good will itself, that item men appraise
at millions of dollars has been shown to
depend upon "trifles" for its very exis-
tence. And the "trifies" of letter writing
are perhaps the most important of all.
Everyday Letters That Build Good
Will" in the March SYSTEM contains
some ideas and experiences valuable 10
any business man. 1t shows how ruinous
to good will is the stereotyped phrase and
the case-hardened correspondent. Which
of the "trif1es" mentioned here get past"
in your outgoing mail? A glance at March
SYSTEM will be well worth your while.

Establishment of n service bureau in
Washington for the benefit of the Amer
lean Legion posts in Philadelphia and
throughout the nation was urged at the
national convention of the legion in
Minneapolis.
This recommendation was made orig
inally at the state Cantonment. The
Philadelphia and PENNSYLVANIA delega
tiOn TO the national convention were
instructed to fight for such bureau,
in order that the legion may be placed
in position to render service to the
comrades who have matters pending Mt
Washington.
Anticipating that the national con
vcution will plan for the inauguration
of a service bureau at Washington, the
Philadelphia county committee has been
arranging to provide for an officer in
each post in the city who will bring to
the attention of the proper official OF
the county committee questions that
should be transmitted to Washington.
The great majority of the problems
involve the payment Of allotments, war
risk insurance or arrangement for vo-
CatiOnal training Other questions arise.

He explained that the post had been
called upon to take up questions of rent
in behalf of a number of
comrades; had been asked to arrange to
give to the post members free medical

expressed willingness to contribute

presented to the authorities at the ma

On November 8 they learned Of the
ormistice. On that day riots were pre-
cipitated in the town in which the
Americans were stationed, and ma
rines had been hurried up to quell the
disorders. On November II word
came that the armistice had been
signed and that all the prisoners
were now free.
1t was arranged shortly afterward
that they were to be sent to Holland
for transportation to England with
English prisoners. The men were per-
mitted to go through the town at will,
and the people, as well as their for
mer guards, were anxious to frater-
nize, but got short shrift from the re-
leased men.
A German who styled himself as an
international Socialist, went to the
camp to tell the prisoners how glad
he was that the war was over. eve
are all brothers now" he said with
much gusto, but this was too much
to swallow after months of hard work,
poor food and Overbearing treatment,
and one of the prisoners. greeted this
exclamation with bOos and groans.
The Socialist departed as disconso-
late as did Sir Roger Easement when
he Intellectually tried to curry the
favor of Irish prisoners in other
camps.
An uneventful trip to Holland en-
sued, and then the men were taken in
charge by the British Red Cross and
went to Hull along with British Tom
mics who had been in the camp with
them.

would set out. He. sent d paper clip
ping which tells what he is doing. He
said they had lots of work that had
to be finished before they could come
back to the u S. A, that the weather
there was very rainy but the roads are
good as they are all stone and it was
no trick to drive cars all over France.
The heavy traffic has made a few
holes in them but they are very good
to travel on.
Following is the newspaper article
Corporal Roth enclosed with his let
ter:
There was one organization in
France which, when the armistice was
signed, frightened up its belt few
more notches and announced that
from that time toward it would be ex-
pected and was ready to do double
work. 1t is now performing that
same.
Tbs organization is the Motor
Transport Corps, which, by the way,
has not been exactly idle for many
months.
Before the armistice was signed the
Motor Transport Corps had more or
less of a one-way job. 1t received
new motor transportation from the
States at the base ports, assembled
it, oiled up its wheels and shipped
it up front. 1t also operated service
trucks and automobiles in practically
every section of France in the S. o. s.,
in addition to its activities in the First,
Second and Third Armies.
Now it is operating, and will con-

SAYS COLD WEATHER BRINGS
RETURN OF INFLUENZA
Public Must Be Careful To Avoid a
Second Epidemic. Easier to Pre-
vent Than Cure. What to Do.

Encouraging reports of the fewer
cases of Influenza in this vicinity
should not allow US to relax our vigil
lance or to decome careless in the
belief that the danger is all over"
says a we'll known authority. With
the coming of cold weather there is
apt to be a return of this frightful
epidemic and it's seriousness will de-
pend on the extent of the precautions
taken by the public, to prevent in
lection"
When the air is full of influenza
germs, you may be constantly breath
ing them into your nose and throat.
But their danger may be avoided and
you may make yourself practically
immune to infection if your destroy
the germ before it actually begins
work in your blood.
During the recent serious epidemic
which hit Moscow so hard, most sue
cessful results were obtained by many
through the simple breathing into the
nose, throat and lungs of the medical
ed air of oil of Hyomei. Probabaly
no better, safer or more sensible pre-
caution against Influenza, Grippe,
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis or Catarrh
of the nose and throat could be en-
ployed than to go now to the nearest
drug store and get complete lily.
omei outfit consisting of bottle OF
the pure Oil of Hyomei and a little.
vestpocket hard rubber inhallng de-
vice into which few drops of the oil
are poured.
Garry this inhaler with you during
the day and each half hour or SO
put it in your mouth and draw deep
breaths Of its pure healing germi-
cidal air into the passages OF your
nose, throat and lungs to destroy any
germs that may have found lodgment
there. This simple precaution may
save you serious illness and the loss
of several weeks work. 1t is pleasant
to use and not at all expensive as
the inhaler will last lifetime and
further supplies Of the Oil of Hyome1
can be had at any drug store for a
few cents.
Hundreds of people in this vicinity
used Hyomei in this way during the
recent crisis and avoided danger. They
should not neglect it now for the dan
ger is by no means over.

Four-fifths of all the supplies and
material that have come over to
France, aside from material directly
handled by motor transportation, has
been taken from ships at base ports,
loaded on trains and then taken from
trains to final destination in all parts
of the extreme front on motor trucks.
Not only have the Motor Transport
men made possible the unloading of
vessels, and the loading and unload
ing of all trains in France, but they
have taken a little independent haul
ing of freight all by themselves. New
motor transportation assembled at
bases and sent to the front has been
loaded with freight and gone up for
ward filled to capacity, and it has
been an off week to the Motor Trans
port Corps when they have not car
ried several hundred tons from the
Atlantis seaboard right across France.

Probably there is no piece of ap-
paratus in France today that has been

corps, and remained part of the quar-
termasetr corps as the Motor Trans

middle of August, 1918, when gen

Motor TRANSPORT organizations have
been established at every base port
in France as rapidly as the base ports
themselves were organized and are
well represented in England and Italy.

Prisoners Exhibited.
The Americans were eventually
taken to Friedrichsfeldt, and no OPP
portunity was missed to show the
American prisoners to the populace,
for they were among the earliest to
be taken.
These Americans were taken to a
camp where there were prisoners
from all the other allied countries, and
though there afterward seemed TO
be an attempt to single out Ameri-
cans for better treatment, according
Jared much the same as the others

an under officer, to do so, he was
thrown down the shaft and killed.
