cause OF his physical condition tells this
remarkable and most interesting tale:
For number OF years, he said, II
have been so closely confined to my
business working zealously to mako my
store representative in every respect
that wear and tear finally got me, my
face became drawn and haggard and
my disposition seemed to urge people
TO evade me. 1t was then that l began
to despise my own company.
Ny bookkeeper one day suggested that
j needed a rest and that my nerves re-
CURED attention. She told me that her
father had taken Phosphated Iron when

said. He works ten hours day and Is
the happiest man in tho world.

ago. / followed the advice and look
at me now. Back in the harness with
smile all the while. I am feeling
more fit than ever. When see tired

friend:
LAS / sit around of an evening,
wonder how it would feel to be in
that good old town once more and to
see and talk with the friends at home.
Il am always thinking of the folks
and the good friends back there and
wondering what they are doing and
what is going on in Richmond.
1T is not feeling Of home sickness
for l have not had that feeling since
l have been over here, but just a
feeling that we all have for our home
town and what goes on there.
Il suppose that some of the people
at home wonder what we are doing
here in Germany to pass the time
away, and that is the great problem
with us-to find a profitable way to
pass away the time, but we manage in
one way and another to do it, and
will try and explain some of the ways
we do it.

best way to keep the soldiers in good

a dandy and has not been scored on

A better plan Is to employ mild. gentle
laxative of which only little is required.
There is combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under
the name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that
thousands of mothers have used successfully
for baby's constipation and its accompany
ing ills, such as belching, wind collie, rest
lessness, sleeplessness, etc.
The nursing mother will also find Il ideal
for herself, and it is especially important that
she be free from constipation.
Syrup Pepsin is guaranteed to do as prom
ised or the druggist will refund the money.
Thousands of cautious families have it in
the house, secure against the little ills.

the football team is at its, having
defeated all teams in the division but
one and will play this team for the
divisional championship this week.
And as summertime is coming on,
you know what kind of team that
calls for, and we have plenty Of ma

team that would make some of the
league teams go some.
I'VE have a rife range here that
we have built. 1t is on the side OF
an old volcano. l don't know the
name Of it. I guess there IS no use
in telling you how the boys can shoot
for they are all Americans and that
explains it.
Then we are starting to play the
newspaper game but there are not as
many players at that game as there
are at the other games, but we have
got enough to get by with, guess, for
we have started a Regimental paper
issued weekly that is quite help to
us as we don't get much of anything
to read here while we are in exile
and anything of any description is a
welcome friend to US.
eve have a divisional paper just
started this week, which we are all
anxious to see and to find out what is
going on in the area in which we are
locatd, for army rules don't allow us
wander about very much.
1--WE get passes to all of the towns
around here and some of them are
very interesting to pay visit to, but
after we have visited a place once or
twice, the interest vanishes, and then
it is back to the same Old routine
again and it gets awful monononous
at times. But 1 guess we will live
through it If nothing worse comes up.
LAS the prospect looks, we will be
here in exile for quite a while yet,
and if anyone has an old magazine
that is in their way or they don't
know what to do with, tell them to
ship it over here if it is not too much
trouble, and it will help to pass many
weary hour away for many Of the
boys.
81 had almost forgotten to mention
our theatre that we are building to
hold our shows and sports in. 1t will
help us greatly to pass the time away,
not only for sports and shows but it
will be large enough so we can meet
there of an evening to talk over old
times like we do at home.
