 Dear Bert As the official cen sorship is lifted, will write you something of our trip over

We arrived on the Central's pier about four o'clock put our baggage aboard two tugs and went up the river to 91st street pier About the time the last bag was on the dock, we were ordered to replace it on the tugs as the ship we were to take would not sail until the fol- lowing day. Returning to Ellis Is land We had a fine chow. There is the best equipped and most sanitary galley l have ever seth. The weekly deficit of the commissary, S2,000 is paid by Helen Gould After chow the General Putnam" brought over several hundred girls, who danced with the sailors and marines.

We picked up the light ship and headed for the mouth of the harbor We narrowly missed going on the rocks. I could have thrown a baseball to the land on our portbeam.

As We went up the harbor l saw the re- suits of the explosion which occurred more than year ago. One could faintly see traces of the streets and the stubs of blasted trees.

 Cal0mel? Horrible
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
 Dynamite on Your Liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite cramping and sickening you. Calo- mel attacks the bones and should new CT be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need dose of danger ous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for few cents large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for ealomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up in side. and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight ems you right up and you feel great. Give it to the childJen5 because it is perfectly harmlsss q fd doesn't grips.

As have been asked many aues- tons In regard to my military train ihg Tn the past twenty-two months, have decided to answer them through column of The News.
 To begin with, people, don't think 1 am an old soldier for I am not, but have seen service on the Mexican border at Fl Paso, Texas and since that time have been from coast to coast, but am sorry to say that I dld not get across the pond to help whip the dirty Dutch" Am proud to say that the "Old Fighting Fifteth U s. Infantry Is and has been ready to go at any time. The reason I am writing this is because I have heard false statements made toward the Red Gross and Y M. C. A. by men Tn uniform who have come home on furloughs and discharges. I shall say there is and never has been a bet ter organization than the Red Cross for the boys in uniform There has never been troop train on move un- less they have been given lunch by the Red Cross. There is no man Tn uniform that has not been in touch with the good work of the Red Cross. Now, as I have said how they treat us in eats, l shall say they are just as good in giving every man in uniform a sweater, which is surely appreciated And more than that when we are sick and are sent to hospital, they are always at our side, not only for our physical attention but to cheer Us and do such things as our own mothers and sisters would do for us if they could be at our side, and therefore every man should call the Red Cross nurses mother or sister cannot say what they have done in No Mans Land" but 1 can say what they do and have done in the U. s. l can lick the man who has made false statements toward this or ganization. And now as I have giv- en the readers my clear opinion of the Red Cross, I will say something about the '. M. c. A. work and work CTS which, feel ranks next to the Red Cross work toward the boys. The '. NJ. c. A. goes with us wherever we go on our moving troop trains and sees that we have stationary and stamps and helps us in all our troub- les. And at camps we are always in touch with the Y M c. A. huts for they are our next door neighbors. We find in our Y. NJ. C. A. huts music, literature and movies except on Sun day because on this day we have re- igious services at morning and night. When we come in at night from a hard days drill We are always wei come and are entertained in way which is very highly appreciated. Now, as l have figured that I have said enough for this time about the Red Cross and Y. M. c. A. work and workers, l will now say something about army "eats" which I have heard "doWned" very much while visiting at my home in Springdale I can say we get nothing but what is abso- lutely sanitary for all government eats are inspected at our camp com

Coney Island mining"

OF the many varied and eXtraOrdi-
nary sights at Coney island, New
York, none is more surprising han to
find men digging in the sand Of the
beach for gold and precious stones.
Some Of them make a regular business
Of 1t, wearing hip boots like placer
miners Of the '40's, and armed with
shovels and sleeves. On good days the
"dirt" has paid as high as $50. This
search for gold differs from mining in
the West or elsewhere, however, In
that rings, chains, stick pins, lockets,
etc, are recovered. What the patient
men dig up is, of course, the jewelry
which careless hathers, who frequent
the beach by the tens Of thousands,
have lost. No doubt the original own
ers of these treasured articles have
assumed that their recovery was absO-
lutely out Of the questiOn.-POpular

NOT STRONG ON ACCURACY
General March Compares Average
Magazine War Story With That
Told of the Doughboy.

"The average magazine war story
Is amusing" said General March In
a recent interview. Its amusing, l
mean, in its inaccuracy.
"Yes, the average magazine story
is as inaccurate as the story OF the
doughboy who rushed from the front
line trenches with his cheeks pulled
out and his mouth tightly closed. He
hoped into n lorry without II word,
and waved his arms towards the rear
In a frantic way.
"1He's crazy, poor Teller said the
driver. Shell shock, Of course. It's
drove him rs crazy rs a bedbug.'
"And the lorry set off. The driv-
er's idea was to convey the stricken
~doughbOy TO the nearest hospital. The
patient still sat with cheeks putfed out
and lips tight closed, while he now
held his nose with one hand as well.
"'CraZy,' muttered the driver.
But 1t turned out that the dough-
boy wasn't crazy ut all. He was EN-
plOyed in the gas defense, and had
been sem forward TO n recently raided
trench for a sample Of the Germans

You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the

get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get a flower of
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something hat helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobouy understands. Every
