FROM BERT PHILLIPS.

The following letter was received by Newton Stone of Sonora, Ark. from his friend Bert Phillips, who is in France:
 Longuyon, Lorraine, Dee l2. 1918.
 Dear Newton:= As business is a little slack tonight will write you a few lines and let you know l am in good health and spirits too. We boys are all very much elated over our success against the Boche and no doubt you people in the States are too
 Iris raining here today but the gen eral weather conditions are cold and heavy frosts at night We are at a fairly high altitude and the country in general is mountainous with num- erous small rivers in the canyons. It is very beautiful country but badly shot up in most places. We are pretty well back of the old bat tie line. but the aeroplanes did about as much in this war as the long range guns did and where some of the aerial bombs hit it looks like vol cano crater. This village here IS like most villages in the advance zone, A mass of ruins with a sign board to tell what it used to be. Several

pleasant days today as I have since have been in France. It has been pretty cool for the last week or two but has not been rainy, but today 1t looks as If we were going to have some wet weather, but we should worry now we are out of the trenches. Beleive me it sure was fierce when We were up there 1t rained nearly every day, and sometimes a fellow was lucky if he could get to spread hls blanket in little mud for some sleep, but l don't regret any of my experiences but don't want to 20 through any more of it. 1 think our division made pretty good record while we were on the front. I know our battery did some good work. | think we had as few casualties as any of them. We only had two men killed and about twelve or if teen wounded. sure did hate it when Henry Ritter was killed He sure was fine boy and when I was told that he was killed it seemed as if 1t was a brother. We are at St. Menehould, France now. don't think We will be here long. I think We will be one among tht first di- visions to return home. I don't have any idea just how long it will be but the latest report that I have is that We will parade in New York between now and Christmas We have had two reviews in the last week and l hear that We are to have another one next week if We remain here am at the Red Cross Station. We are billeted near here We have d fine writing room here and plenty of mus ic and they serve hot chocolate The best of all is we have real sure enough American girl that serves it for us. It almost makes fellow feel as if he was at home. Well it is nearly Thanksgiving and I for one think we have something to be thank ful for this year Wish I could spend Christmas with you but l don't think there is any such luck.

You know as much about going over the top" as l do, but if the war had not stopped when 1t did would have been right at the front. I have been at Harve-Monts, St. Aigan, am in little village close to Monte-Richards. They bust ed our outfit and we were made into Replacement troops to fill up the ranks at the front. We came over on the British liner Aquitania, 1t is a sister ship to the Lusitania and Is some swell ship We were in Eng land two days. You should have seen the trains 1 have rode on here, I have ridden on a freight car and in cattle cars too. 1 have seen some queer sights since l have been in France. The people wear wooden shoes. They raise grapes and make lots of wine There were lots of grapes when we came here. The most of the French treat us fine, but some few try to graft for the Ameri- can dollar. 1 didn't take much to them. couldn't make them under stand when I wanted to buy anything. l have heard lots about the French girls but they can't keep up' with the |. $. A. girls. We are drilling the same as we did in the states. Tell Mr. Bradley l hope to get back to tend the strawberries. Don't worry about me for I will get home some time. l wish you all merry Christmas and happy New Year.

civilians have moved back here and found their homes in ruins but they nave nothing to move except what they are wearing and in most cases that isn't much, so several familvs can occupy one building until they get their own homes rebuilt. but as the French people are very slow work CTS 1t will take several months to re- establish their homes as all buildings are made of stone and concrete. think they will be depending on the U. $. to rebuild their country as their man power has been greatly reduced by this horrible war.
 Our regiment hauled the supplies for the Luneville, St. Mihiel and Ar gonne Forest drives so you may well Imagine how busy we have been as We worked both day and night dur ing all the drives but our success has been our reward so after all we are glad we did work hard
 This section of the country was held by the Roche from the very be- ginning of the war and what a ter rible shape they left things in when they had te evacuate, even took all the young girls and most of the boys There is any number of cases of crime they committed in this village but I will not try to explain them to you ln writing as l understand my letters are published in the papers quite of ten ahd my way of expressing myself in regard to Germany's crimes sure would not look good in print so shall wait until see you, which l hope will be in the near future.
 Our camp is out of stationary so we boys are using the Boehes ledger leaves and record sheets to write our letters on. The old familiar saying of, When in Rome do as the Romans do,s is alright but when We are in Germany we have to do the best we can 90 this is the best and only paper haze at present. 1 had letter from Louis Stone and wife not many days age All were well and no one had had the Spanish influenza yet.

SHOULD KEEP
 THEIR INSURANCE Soldiers and Sailors Urged By Treas ury Department Not to Let Their Government Insurance Lanse.
SHOULD KEEP

The News Is in receipt of the fol- lowing from the Treasury Depart ment relative to Government insu- rance carried by soldiers and sailors and the advice that this insurance be not allowed to lapse is worthy of careful consideration. The young man who converts this insurance into twenty payment life will have a valu- able asset:
 To The Soldiers and Sailors of Ameri- ca: Approximately four million of fieers and men of the Army and Ma " are now insured with the United States Government for grand to- tai of almost thirty-seven billion dol lars.
 You owe it to yourself and to your family to hold on to Uncle Sans insurance. It is the strongest, saf- est, and cheapest life insurance ever written.
 For your protection Uncle Sam has established the greatest life insurance company in the world-a company as mighty, as generous, and as dem ocratic as the United States Govern ment itself Just as Uncle Sam protected you and your loved ones during the war, so he stands ready to continue this protection through the days of readjustment and peace.
 The privilege of continuing your Government insurance is a valuable right given you as part of the com pensation for your heroic and tri- umphant services If you permit the insurance to lapse, you lose that right and you will never be able to regain it. But if you keep up your present insurance-by the regular payment of prenniums-you will be able to change it into a standard Government policy without medical examination Meantime you can keep up your pres ent insurance at substantially the same low rate The Government

For Colds and Grippe
 Doctors Find Remedy

Physicians and druggists are elated over the fact that they have at last found a genuine and dependable rem edy for colds, sore throat, influenza and la grippe. For years they have depended chiefly upon the old style calomel, which is certainly fine, but unfortunately many people would not take it because of it's nauseating ana dangerous qualities.
 Now that the pharmaceutical chem ists have perfected a nausealess cal omel. called "Calotabs" whose med icinal virtues are vastly improved, the doctors and druggists are claim ing that Calotabs are tht ideal rem edy to abort cold over night and cut short an attack of sore throat or Ia grippe. They are also finding it most effective as the first step in the treatment of pneumonia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water,-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eat ing or your work and pleasure, The next morning your cold has vanished and yeur whole system is purified and refreshed. Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages; price tbirty-five cents. Your druggist re- comments and guarantees them by raf,,nding the price if you are not de- lighted. ---adv.
