Why does a painter dip his cut hand in turpentine ? ! Simply because he knows that Turpentine sterilizes the wound, leaving it in the right condition for rapid healing. Grandmother used Turper.tne to allay infection, to relieve colds, headaches, pains and many other troubles. She knew what a toe tome remedy it was. Turpo is the modem form of Turpentine. It will do just the same things only better, because it also contains Menthol and Camphor, two other old-time remedies. Turpo hasn't a bite, nor a sting.

Inspectors representing the food ?d---minis’ration of Indiana have insvuctions to report all such violations. to the end that the attitude of the off. nd--ler may be known and registered "t ’ headquarters. It is the position of th" j food administrator. H. E. Barnard I that merchants unwilling to enter >n.to the voluntary -aring arrangements > I will lie unable and unlikely to pass on Jto the consumers of food stuffs the i benefit as represented in a reduced average price for commodities. The Indiana State Council of De- 1 ' sense has requested county eouni il ■ to co-operate with the county food administrators in pointing out faiure I or refusals to abide by these war enter i gency measures, to the end that all j moral pressure possible be applied l>ei fore the stem hand of the law as di- ! rected by the federal food control bill ( lays so heavily upon the delinquentlas to put them completely out of busi- , | A large majority of Indiana retail ■ zrocers have membership in one or ; more of the associations which I through authorized delegates met «t j Washington recently to confer wit a ■food administration officials reiaive to the conduct of their business. The i conference went on record unanunousI!v in favor of the following policy: ■ ‘We will, whether licensed or not. roI operate with the V. S.

The cost of delivery has long ; been recognized as an important fact- • I or in the retail price of groceries and.

HERMAN MILLER I-- v - 1 ’At Kellyfield Writes Inter- !: esting Letter of Camp Life—Lots of Work. 'I i AEROPLANE DIVISION 5 f I Safest Says French Soldier —Many Aeroplanes and Balloons in Camp. t ; The following letter from Herman r Miller was written to his sister. Miss* Emma Miller: San Antonio. Texas. Nov 12. ’l7. . Helio. Everybody: ’ Well. 1 just happened to come over , i to the Y. M. C. A (just as if it was something unusual. Ha! Ha! i, but I . I came over pretty early and I found ; ’ a place at one of the desks deso ’ J lated. so I took advantage of it and I I now 1 am trying to typewrite you I I, some of my famous shorthand, with i f a pencil that writes odth black wa-' 1 ter Well, in fact, all that a person j r has to do here to get some ink. and ’ - black ink. too. is to set a basin of, J water out in the open and wait for j . Texas What they call Texas here is j ; a whirl-wind or small cyclone of black dirt and dust. This is Mon-j ' day night and a beautiful night it is I Well, it is not exactly night; it is ' f just evening, 6:06. s‘ester day. Sunday. I was ordered ' or detailed to leave here for some ‘ unknown destination, but was reject-! ed because I had not received my! O D suits. O D. are woollen suits. I "Olive Drab” We are liable to - leave here now any day or hour under sealed orders, but our destination will not be revealed to us until we i are there or about there. Believe r me. Unde Sam is doing things up brown, and I sure do hope that I will ‘ get a chance to help toast old Kaiser . Bill’s neck. This is a nice warm place but. of I ' | course, like any other place, it has , its faults. Such dust and mosquitoes. _ But these things don’t bother nie. 1 There is plenty of good water b>?re 1 to keep clean with. I, We moved this afternoon from the I ! 6th provisional to another provis-j ; ional. But I am sorry to say I don’t j ; know what the number of our new * ’ cne is. but that doesn’t matter, be- j cause I haven’t received a “sfng'e”i ; letter since I have been here. Have 1 been here just one week today. ’ When you write, send my mail to the 6th until I send you further notice : of my change in address. 5 The victrola is playing about sixty' j miles per hour. Say. if you would like to do one a favor, just stop using - the Daily Democrat for a tablecloth 1 and send them to me once a week. 1 1 About all the fellows get papers from; , home. So you can see why I want > the Democrat. I wish that aH of you folks could ( ’ see the aeroplanes here, tt sure is ■ I a sight. As seven o’clock this morn- ’ ing I counted fourteen machines up : • at one time, besides two large obJ servation balloons. Yes. you bet. this . is a busy place, just a whir and buzz i of motors from morning until night., Do you ever hear anything of Harry • and of Battery B? Well, you can just bet that WE : are going to make German Bill take ’ • out civilization papers. 1 I haven't been over to San An-1 tonio yet. and I'll tell you why. Be- * cause we haven’t had a pay day. and > besides I am a typical soldier — • broke. Ha! Ha! Says. Sis. I don't see why you • didn’t write You need not ,' wait to get a letter from me before you can get an inspiration to drop me a few lines. You can write just , as often as you please, and it won’tmake me a hit mad; now. that's the] fact. too. Yoa see I am just as bad! as ever. When I get started to: writing. 1 just can't stop, it seems.’ I hope I will get a chance to go to France before long, because that would be some trip, and worth several years of college education to me. You sec I am in the highest branch of service in the U. S. army. We will always be stationed several miles back of the firing line or range. I got this straight from a fellow that fought thirteen months in France. He was in tUe infantry, but was wounded and discharged. Now he is in Kellyfield. He speaks at the "Y” now and then. He was in a regi-j ment of 1.29fi men After thirty-six 1 hours of fighting only tiijfty-eight ' came out sound. He says that the ' aviation (see) f 8 the safest branch i of service, by far. than any other ' I branch of. service in any army, and I ’ | guess that is why he la here. I thought that we would get our j ] job for which wo signed up for iiere.'t ■ but lwa - misUk'n Here la the way! [it ly.. Fort Thunur ir- a recruiting ■station for ali brau<-h< ui service.'• | Kellyfc Id is a liainiug camp, and • 'school, ami s»pplv station )<rf tnen»."T lioiu here we urc ail c?plit up and p

sent to different places, where need ed. according to our trade. 1 hope \ get to go to achcol to study aero-, ’ plane engine* These fellows are i picketi If lam luety enough to get thia, then I can demand a good Job] I from the guvernuieui when the war l is over. If I am lucky enough to stay here l<mg enough I will, no i doubt, gel that chance. But 1 really . expect to be out of here by the 15th 'of this month, and that isn’t long—j about the day you get this letter. Was working in the kitchen this mornii'e. up until noon, but I had a J good job. and that »w> to fire the I stoves, only two; pretty soft, eh? Ha! Ha! Oh. this army is Just what you ] make it and you can take it from me ■ I make it pretty easy. We drill less I than any other branch in the army. , The drilling that we do get is Just | to keep us in good physical and mayibe mental condition. And we don’t ! get any too much of it. Some fellow is playing ee the organ fwe have a piano, too), and it ' just sounded like a dog howling for ■ his dead master. I wish that he i would use a soft pedal, or that some ■ one would choke him I mean his j musical abilities. But no Joking > about it he really can rday. You I soe 1 am writing "just to pass the . time iway.” Well. I haven’t passed ! much time away since I began this letter. Ha! Ha! And I expect that ! you realize shat by this time. Can ■' you cipher it oul or do you hare to take it to someone to translate it. | Well if you don’t. 1 will say right i here and now that you can decipher ' shorthand, ill bet you think that 1 1 have strut k a gas well, but you see I it costs just as much for me to send : you a short letter as it does to send j you a long one This paper is free. When I was at Fort Thomas all a I person could hear sung was “Indiana” and bow when I get down here the first thing they spring at the Y M. C. A. is “Indiana. ’ and then the man in charge asks all those from Indiana to raise their hands, and from ail corners of the large tent, one could see the hands —brave and noble hands —of the red-blooded indianians. Believe me. a soldier from Indiana is always welcome, no matter where he should go—down here and at Fort Thomas. If you put this little bundle of natural gas in the DemocraL I wish that everybody would excuse my mistakes because there are many a • mother’s son here waiting for his I chance to write home, or maybe to ’ “someone" else. You can see that ‘by putting this in the papef would ! save me a great many three-cent ’ stamps, which look large to a sol- ’ dier before pay-day. Besides, it will give my friends a chance to know where and how I am. Oh, yes. I forgot to tel! you that , the mosquitoes are so large here that an aviator, the other day. mistook . one for his machine and was flying around for about an hour before he {discovered his mistake. Well it just saved Uncle Sam a little gas and oil bill. Os course you may believe as | much of this as you please and for- ( get the rest. Believe me, we sure do eat here at Kellyfield. If we don’t get enough ] the first time to satisfy our wolfish appetites why we just _trot back and get the second hand-out. Well, you can feel assured that I get my share , and maybe then some. But you must stand up and fight for your hungry appetite in the army. Well. Sis, I guess it’s about time 1 for me to give some one else a I chance to write home "Wiien you J write, try to outdo me when it conies jto a long letter or a bag full of Texas gas.
