looking through the home-place, the
church she attended, as well as a
memorial chapel which was erected
in 1898. These churches have the
most wonderful stained glass windows
| have ever seen.
On my return from leave l was
given the Regimental Adjutant's po-
sition. All the work is inside, making
reports, issuing orders, etc. Didn't
particularly care for it at first for the
work is considerable and it requires
such close attention. For the past
two weeks, though, frequently the
work keeps me in the Office until prac-
tically midnight. l have developed a
decided fondness for it.
The weather is something awful. I
don't think single day has passed in
more than two weeks without rain.
The mud is fierce. At present the en-
tire regiment is on a three-day ma
neuver which will necessitate their
sleeping in the open tonight and to-
morrow night, while l have a cozy,
well heated room and a comfortable
bed. Not SO bad, Ell?
The important question of the day
with US now is what the future holds
for US. Practically everybody wants
to come home at once. There is a
possibility that we may go to Ger
many, and l am inclined to think
most of the officers and men would
really prefer doing so to the schedule
they are now required to follow I'M
der weather conditions. AS long as
the war was on we had no time to
think of going home, but now that it
is over, | for one, and l think prac-
tically all the others, are the same,
are just really homesick for the old
U. S. A. and for civil life.
The prospects for Christmas are
certainly far from CHEEKY. We will
probably have only one day off, but
if we had more time there is abso-
lutely nothing to do but plough thru
the mud in this dreary, dull village,
which has about rs inhabitants and
is absolutely dead.
The Red Cross representative has
just come in with about a dozen mag
azines, so l will stop this and spend
the remainder of the evening reading.
Wishing you, your family and my
other friends a merry Christmas and
a happy New Year, and sincerely
trusting that | may soon be able to
see you all, | am,
Sincerely your friend,

A PIECE QUILT

Last week we had mention, IN our
Due West correspondence, of piece
quilt made by Mrs. j. ]. Story in which
there were 1928 pieces.
That sounds big, but this week
have a report of a quilt from tn
needle of Mrs. Elizabeth Freyer, com
posed of 1914 pieces.
Generally speaking, the younge
generation knows little of the piece
or Scrap quilt which our mother
and grandmothers spent SO many
hours in making, and which were
beautiful and comfortable. Many OF
these were really works of art-mo-
safes of cloth instead of stone.

IS IT CURING INFLUENZA
That is What H. o. Cheney a popular
Merchant of Stephens, Ga. Wrote
January 9th His Letter is Print
ed Below.

When the dreadful Spanish Infiu-
enza with its fearful toll of mortality
first reached this country, many pat
ent medicines were quickly advertised
as a sure remedy for this disease.
Knowing this would be the case, we
hesitated for long time to recon-
mend our LaXanodine for this disease.
Although we knew that it would
quickly reduce fever, congestion and
inflammation, break up colds and Group,
and cleanse the liver and bowels, and
this would be an ideal treatment for
influenza yet until it was thoroughly
tested we could not honestly recon-
mend it for this trouble.
1000 Cases Reported
We have now talked with more than
100 people who have used it for in
fiuenza, and in every case it has re-
lieved the pain, kept the fever down,
the appetite and strength up, and in
addition hundreds have reported that
it has kept them from taking the dis
ease, by using an occasional dose.
January 18th, our representative
found our dealer at Stephens, Ga, sick
in bed with his entire family in seri-
Gus condition from influenza, he ad-
vised him to try LaXanodine with the
following result.
Stephens, Ga. 1-27-19. Dear Sirs:
Please ship LaXanodine first express.
1t is curing the flu. Resp.
H. o. Cheney.
For influenza use LaxanOdine as
directed for typhoid fever or jaun-
dice, aviod exposure to cold or damp,
and you will not have to stay in bed
long if used in time.

REGULAR CYCLES OF THOUGHT
Might BE Described as Periodical
Waves Passing Through and Aoi-
tating the Human Mind.

Just as we findsa mathematical rule
at many of the bodily movements, just
so thought may be supposed to have
Its regular cycles. Such or such
thought comes round periodically, in
Its turn. Accidental suggestions, how
ever, SO far interfere with the regular
cycles, that we may find them prac-
tically beyond our power of recogni-
tion. Take all this for what it is
worth, but ut any rate you will agree
that there are certain particular
thoughts that do not come up once a
day, nor once week, but that a year
would hardly go round without ycur
having them pass through your mind
Here is one which comes up at inter-
yals in this way. Some one speaks Of
1t, and there is an instant and eager
smile of assent in the listener or listen
ers. Yes, indeed; they have often
been struck by it.
All at once a. conviction flashes
through us that we have been in the
{ same precise circumstances as at the
present instant, once or many times be-
fore.-Olver Wendell Holmes.

Origin of Japanese Language.

"The closest relation of the Jap
anese tongue is with ancient Hebrew.
although, in some cases, words show
n great resemblance to Arabic, which
conserves the more archaic features
of the parent speech" =,
This conclusion has been reached by
DR.. Robert Armistead Stewart Of
Johns Hopkins university after an in
vpstigation of the origin of the Jap
anese language, according to the ia
pan society, for which he has prepared
statement. Continuing, he says:
"In the course of the Investigations
there were established the mutations
that go far to proving the original
unity for the Aryan and of the Sc
mitic speech and that explain the
points of correspondence noted be
tween Japanese and European
Hence, it develops that primarily

Senator James Watson of Indiana
created quite sensation in the SEN
ate in recent speech in which he
charged that the various department.
of the government were being loaded
with socialists. He gave long list
of names, and the connection of each
with. socialist propaganda. It is
claimed in defense of this movement
to socialize the government, that
these appointees are not revolution
ary socialists, but are Of the mi|der
school. known az evolutionary social
isits, and that they are therefore not
dangerous The trouble with this
defense IL that whether the revolu.
tionary or the evolutionary process is
used, the finished product is the
same, and the finished product is dis
astrous. When the final results are
wrong it doesn't make SO much differ
ence what method is used to attain
them. Socialism, in whatever form,
means snbordination of the ina;-
vidual to the state. When the indi-
vidual is subordinated the incentive
to individual enterprise is gone. and
individuality il the only thing that
has ever built up a strong country.
There may be errors in our present
industrial system which need correct.
ing but If so it is our failure tn
equ alize opportunity. In making the
correct ion We shall make matters
worse If We take away individual in-
centive and opportunity. and make
the individual simply a ward Of the

The government knows where these
