SURGICAL WORK Sergeant William P. Hawkins Has Charge of Operating Rooms AND SURGICAL WARDS In France—He Sees and Learns Much of Interest There. Sergeant William P. Hawkins, Field Hospital Company 1, American Expeditionary Force writes to the Charles Hawkins family: Field Hosp. Co. No. 1 2nd Div. A. E. F. March 29, 1918 Dear Parents: As it is a little rainy today and I have nothing much to do, I will write you a letter. 1 received my first leter from you last week, it sure did make me feel good for I had not heard from you in so long a time. I was glad to know that you were 1 all well and happy. Well, I am in the best of health. Suppose you are en'joying your new home by now.’ 1 hope I you will be well satisfied. 1 wrote to Jim and his wife .also I Delbert, but I never have heard a i word from them. I wrote to Uncle (Clark last week. You tell him I said |to answer. Tell sister to tell D. C.| (that she had better write to me for. there are some things I asked her that I am anxious to find out. Well papa, what kind of a job have you got planned for me when I return. Will about SBOO.OO do any good for me to start on. 1 will have S2OO saved in July and it is drawing interest too. arid I started to save that as a private and then 1 was only drawing $33 a month but now see what I can do since I have been made sergeant and draw $51.20. So I intend to make it SBOO.OO before I quit and it won't take long. 1 also ha( e SIO,OOO. in insurance and it is made out to you people at home Well, 1 will close for this time. Love to all, PEARL Field Hospital Co. No. 1 A. E. F., via N. f. Dear Loved Ones at Home: I received your always welcome letter yesterday. Sure was more than pleased to hear from you for it was only the second I had received from home. I am enjoying life fine. Never felt better in my life. I have a good place to be in and I like my work. It is surgical work. I have charge over tile' operating room and surgical wards. If you want to see sights you shouldl be here with me for I see all kinds of wounds and handle them. A man) learns more here in one week than he will in a civil hospital in a month. I don’t suppose Jim will get my letter 1 wrote a few days ago if they are going to move. 1 am glad you like your new home. Sure would like to be there and help enjoy it to if it is so nice. Well, mother, I will try and write once a week as 1 promised you I would do and I have been the last few weeks. About my Liberty Bond, you will be notified just as soon as they are paid for and they will be in July. Well. papa, it is as you said. I have began to realize that I might need 3 little money some of these days. Two hundred dollars isn’t bad to save in ten months Is it? I am now drawing $51.20 a month clear and I expect to allot S4O of that in July. Do you want me to make it to you 0£ the bank? Well, mother, I have riot heard from Ruth but once since I camo over here. I don’t know what is the trouble. Yst the big picture and some of the kodak pictures are of her also. Yes, I have been getting the papers you sent me. They are just like a visit from some one from home. Give my love to all of the children, and my friends. I close your affectionate son. Sgt.

BACKACHE IS DISCOURAGING But Not So Bad If You Know How To Reach the Cause. Nothing more discouraging than a constant backache. Lame when you awaken, pains pierce you when you bend or lift. It’s hard to work or to rest. Backache often indicates bgd kidneys. Decatur people recommend Doan’s Kidney irills. Read this case: W H. Pennington, carpenter, South First street, says: "Some time ago my back pained me and 1 didn’t know what caused the complaint. I grew worse every day and was in misery. 1 finally procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Holthouse Drug Co., and was surprised al the results they gave. In a short time the backache disappeared and 1 have had no return of the trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney frills —the same that Mr. Pennington had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs,, Buffalo, N. Y. advt o SAVE-THE-WHEAT TALKS Number One —A Most Serious Situation. Our wheat situation is today the most serious situation in the food supI ply of the w hole allied world. Our harvest was less than was estimated. There is also another and more bitter difficulty in the delays of shipping and in the growing scarcity of ships. Wo had all expected that the Argentine supply would lie available in Europe ! before this time. Those supplies will not arrive for another two months in quantity .and even then will be less I than we had expected. The con sequence is that the supply of bread-! stuff in Europe is at its lowest ebb. | There is but one source of supply and ' that is the United States. Today our investigation shows that if we are to ship to the allies the amount that is necessary to carry over even the minimum of the bread sup ply, to their people, we must cut oar own consumption by one-half. The limit that we propose on allied shipment is simply the limit of our exporting power. It may eventuate, even, that we must reduce the bread consumption of the United States more than one-half.—U.
