STORY OF ARMY LIFE

Sgt. Bernard Lewis, son of Mr.
Henry Lewis of Cloverport, writes
most interesting description of his
two years in the army Sgt Lewis
has been with the Hospital Corps and
had varied experiences. His letter in
detail reads:
My dear Father and Mother: I re-
ceived your most welcome and inter
esting letter of March 10. | was so
glad to hear from you. would like
to know when the mail will be
Strengthened out again as | never saw
such service. / am not receiving near
all of my papers or letters, and from
what you say | don't think you are
receiving the letters that | write.
| can't say when | will be on my
way home for no one seems to know
anything about our departing for the
States.
Has Been in the Army Two Years.
| saw in the Stars and Stripes
where all of the Combat troops are
now in France with the exception of
the Army of Occupation will be on
their way home by July 1. If that is
true | should get home in August or
September. That is a good while to
wait when one stops to think about it.
In ten days time / will have been in
the army two years. Seems like ten
to me | remember on the 18th of
April 1917. left old Cloverport for
Louisville to enlist and was accepted
and on April 18th, was sent to
Columbus Barrack. Arrived there on
the 18th, at 2:3O A. M. Waited in
camp that day doing nothing.
On the morning of the 10TH, | was
called up for examination Seemed
as if every officer and enlisted man in
the post looked me over before |
passed, but came out o. X. at IL o.
clock tina tsame day | took the oath
to become soldier. At IL 80 | had
my first real army show. After mess
| had to take the most dreadful in
oculation that made me feel bad
few hours. Was also vaccinated at
the same time but that never bother
ed me at all. After taking the inocu-
lation and vaccination, drew my first
uniform.

Sent To Fort Moultrie, S. c.

| was kept in Columbus only few
days and then sent to Fort Moultrie,
S. c. That is coast artillery fort.
Was sent there for intensive training
and don't you think | didn't get it
for | did
Had the pleasure of being on old
Fort Sumpter that is about half mile
from Fort Moultrie. The old fort is
very small place but it is very
strong and well fortified for an
enemy. When l was there it had
two IA in. guns besides the IL in.
Mortars and the 6 in. rapid fire guns.
Whereas Fort Moultrie was better
fortified for it was much larger. 1t
is an island about miles from Charl-
eston, S. c., and the island is sup
posed to be about miles long. All
along the island is nothing but IL in.
Mortars and in. rapid fire guns.
They can do some wonderful work
with them. That is about all concern
ing Fort Moultrie.

Has Difficulties With a Horse
/ left Camp Sewer, June 18th, 1918.
Went to New York and left there
June goth, on the H. NJ S. Mauritania
for overseas.
Before | go any farther | must tell
you that when | was in Fort Logan
H. Roots, | was sent to Houston,
Texas, with a horse. That was some
trip. AGO miles in box car with a
horse. 1t took three days and two
nights to make the trip.
While on my way the horse got
excited and kicked the stall out of
the car, that let him run loose in the
car. | had an awful hard time with
him then. | had to hold him for a
bout ninety miles. We hadn't finish
ed the ninety miles until one of the
braces under the car came loose and
was making an awful noise A noise
that the horse didn't like, so he
started kicking the side of the car,
and it was up to me to get the train
to stop.
AS luck would have it | was next
to the engine, so | opened the door
and shouted to the top of my voice
before the Texas engineer heard me.
Finally he came to himself and stop
ped the train. He came back laugh
ing and wondering what was wrong.
After he discovered that the brace
was broken he was excited and said
it was great wonder that the car
kept on the rails for if the brace had
caught in the wheels if would have
thrown the car off the track So 4
had some luck after all. The en-
gineer took piece of beel cord, tied
up the brace and we were off again.
We arrived at some junction,
changed cars which took about 6
hours. We pulled out of the junction
and were off for Houston. Arrived
there the next afternoon. And of
course as luck would have it the
camp was Z miles from the Yards.
the horse was scared of street car
or anything with wheels on it. l
had to take him up through town to
get to the camp. | found livery
stable about 8 squares away so | put
him in there for the night. l caught
a street car for the Camp and after
going to the end of the car line had
to walk about mile before reaching
camp. After | arrived there of course
it rained and made it nice to top it all
off. Remained in camp that night,
went to the livery stable next morn
ing, got the horse. turned it over to
the Lieutenant it belonged to, and left
the camp that day for Fort Logan H.
Roots. Took thirteen and half hours
to get there by the Sunset Limited.
Arrived in Fort Roots about 3 A. M.
so my worries were then ended for
a while.
Left New York With 1000 Troops.

Conquers Rheumatism
In a Very Few Days

1t is an established fact that a small
dose of Rheuma taken once day has
driven the pain and agony from thou
sands of raeked, crippled and despair
ing rheumaties during the last seven
years.
Powerful and sure; quick acting, yet
harmless and inexpensive, Rheuma gives
blessed relief almost at once. The
magic name has reached nearly every
hamlet in the land and there is hardly a
druggist anywhere who cannot tell you
Of almost marvellous cures.
If you are tortured with rheumatism
or sciatica, you can get Rheuma from
w. L. Root, or any druggist, with the
understanding that if it does not com
pletely drive rheumatic .poisons from
your system-money back.-Adv.
