CAMP NOTES

A good crowd from Company L at
tended the informal dance given by
the seth Infantry band at the Hos
tess House on Tuesday evening. The
music, which was rendered by more
than score of instruments, was es-
pecially good and all of the soldiers
enjoyed fine time. The only trouble
was that the boys outnumbered the
girls about 10 to l and as result
dances for most of the men were few
and far between. However, some of
the boys were lucky and succeeded
in getting their full share. Those who
were there will vouch for my state
ment that Earle Davis was altogeth
er too popular with the ladies on
this evening. The "King of pastry
cooks" had no trouble whatever in
getting a partner for every dance,
while many Of the others nearly came
to blows in their efforts to get
dance. The popularity that has al
ways followed this boy continues
here.

that Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly

requires constitutional treatment Hall 5
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the BLOOD on the Mucous Sur

the foundation of the disease, giving the

included Sergeant of Guard Rufus
Percy, Corporal Gordon Shufelt, and
Privates Robert Decoteau Edgar
Burbank, Leonard Currier, George
Case and Silas Cushing. These men
are guarding tonight in conjunction
with members of the other organiza-
tons.
Two cots in Company LIS barracks
are empty today and the two men
that occupied them are being missed
by the boys. They are Corporal VIII
liam Johnson and Private Victor
Carter. The former was carried in
an ambulance to the camp hospital
this afternoon for observation, the
army physicians believing that he
is suffering from an attack of appen-
dicitis. Carter has been granted a
15-day furlough in order to go home
to see his wife and new born baby,
both of whom are reported seriously
i'll in Newport.
Corporal Johnson complained of
feeling i'll when he came in from drill
on Thursday but thought little of it.
He grew worse during the night and
reported to sick call on Friday morn
ing. Johnson steadily became worse
until he was taken to the hospital
this afternoon. 1t is not known as
vet just how serious his case is but
his relatives and friends will be kept
fully informed as to his condition.
Sergeant Jimmy" Jones is still
confined to quarters on account of
illness, but much against his wishes.
James says he feels fine and wants to
get out onto the field and take part
in the drilling with the rest of the
boys, but the camp physician SAYS
no. During his convalescence, the
sergeant is taking charge of quar-
tens. Needless to say that under his
supervision the place is kept looking
as neat as a pin.
There is one thing disturbing the
boys in camp and that is the APP
parent lack of interest amongst some
of the friends and relatives of the
boys at home. The boys are not re-
ceiving as much mail as they should
and they have implored the writer
to suggest to the readers of the Cal
edonian- Record that the home folks
get busy and send them some mes
sages via Uncle Sans mail service.
Remember folks, the boys are lone
some in spite of the fact that their
schedule is busy one. They have
plenty of time to read provided the
folks back home do their part and
send along some letters. One of the
men in camp received 10 letters in
one mail but his is very rare case.
