Word From Eph. and VIM. Test
erman.

In a card just received by The
Herald from Mrs. A. E. Sickler
of Savageton. Wyo., she says
81 am in receipt of a letter from
my son. Eph. Testerman, written
January 5. He is at Engers,
Germany, the headquarters of
the End Engineers. He is well,
but said nothing of any of the
other Nezperce boys, and states
that they seldom get letters from
home, which makes it Very lonely
for them. He was unable to say
when they would be home, but is
very homesick. as they all are.
| also had a letter from VIM.
Testerman. He wrote from
France and said they would soon
be sailing for home. He came
through without being wounded,
he spent two months at
the front and near it. :"

WORRIES OVER NO "KICKS"
Business Seems to Be Slack With St
Louis COMPLAINT Board.

The city of ST. Louis is expanding
$4,000 year to maintain complaint
board, whose business is to take care
Of all complaints st. Louisans wish to
make. But the board has begun to
worry. There have been no com.
plants, nobody even kicking about
the amount of money spent to keep
the board.
The complaint board has issued a
system Of complaint postcard books
with blank forms on which kicks will
be made, and these have been dis.
tributed throughout the city in an
effort to stimulate the kickers. All
civic organizations who formerly did
so much kicking will receive these
postcard books, and the complaint
board is hoping that the public gets
busy and comes along with some
kicks.

TRAMP IS SAMARITAN
Nurses Two Lonely Families Stricken
With Influenza.

With Influenza
John Kennedy and Thomas Camp
bell, two farmers living in lonely
section Of Foster township between
Hazelton and White Haven, Pa, re-
ported to the authorities recently that
they and their families undoubtedly
had been saved from death through
influenza by the timely appearance of
an unknown tramp mt their homes,
when every member of both families
was down with the plague.
The tramp "blew in" after alighting
from Jersey Central freight train
and called at the Campbell place for
something to eat, only to discover the
entire household critically i'll in bed.
Going to the next house. he found SIM
liar conditions, and then decided to act
as the Good Samaritan. He nursed
eleven of the patients back to health,
looked after the fires, did the cooking
and attended to the stock until Camp
bell and Kennedy were able to look
after the work themselves.
The tramp made frequent trips to
Hazleton and White Haven to buy
food and medicine, and always re-
turned with the change, except small
amounts that he retained to quench
his thirst on the way. This allow
ance was willingly granted.

THRIFTY YANKS STEAL
MARCH ON GOVERNMENT
Find That Fresh Water and Soap
Save Army's Sunken
Cargo.

Fishing shirts, vests, soldiers jer-
kins, leggings, comfort bags and 9TH
err clothing from the oceans bottom
has been the latest kind Of work for
the fisher folk at Vineyard Haven,
Mass. But the government has stepped
in and spoiled all the fun and all the
profit as well.
When the steamship Port Hunter,
carrying 100000 worth Of clothing
to Uncle Sans soldiers overseas, was
wrecked off the Cape 1t was found that
salvaged clothing rotted two days af-
ter 1t had been taken from the salt
sea. But the thrifty and ingenious
Yankees here found that by washing
the clothing in fresh water as soon as
it was brought ashore it was as good
as new.
So the fishermen forgot their travis
and lines and each day small fleet
put to sea equipped with graphing
hooks on the ends Of long poles. At
night the fleet would sail home laden
with all sorts of clothing. On the
beach, with washtubs filed with fresh
water and soap were the thrifty house
wives. Next morning almost every
sort Of piece of clothing found on
a soldier or in his kit was Tapping
from the clothesline.
Everything was going fine with the
fisher people until few days ago
when the government at Washington,
which had previously given up the
work of salvage, suddenly came to
the realization that washing with fresh
water prevented the clothing from rot
ting. The war department promptly
issued an order to the headquarters of
the department Of the northeast in
Boston instructing an immediate in
vestigation of the Port Hunter and the
possibility and ACCESSIBILITY Of making
an attempt to salvage the cargo. Mean
while, the army officers were ordered
to stop petty pilfering" Of the ships
cargo.

twice as much in Texas and other
southern states, among the largest

kerhoff of Huntley, H., believed in
the simple life, occupying small cot
tage, cheaply furnished. The value
Of his household goods was appraised
at only $92. The treasury Of Illinois
will be enriched to the extent Of
$4,000 by the inheritance tax on the
Illinois holdings. The wife receives
$146,O00, and two nephews, Thomas
and Hames Brinkerhoff, both Of FL
gin, each receive $4,000 from the Illi-

the Third.

Misfortune Of q peculiar kind has

well known through the connection Of
the men with its development. Three
Of the Kemp brothers have each lost
an arm within q year, the last to
meet the misfortune being q soldier

last days of the fighting.
Just year ago Harold Kemp's
hand was caught In the "auger" Of a

was drawn and mangled so badly that
amputation was necessary. Two
months later Harley Kemp. a younger
brother, lost his left arm in the same
gin and In much the same manner.
Recently the news came from France
that a piece Of shell had struck r. o.
Kemp and carried away his right arm.
The last victim was married. his wife
