"While the death rate of men in the trenches is about 2 per cent per annum, tho death rate of babies under 1 year in 'Minnesota is 7 per cent," says a re[cent report from the committee.

BRISK MOVEMENT ' Characterizes the Work at Camp Humphrey, Virginia SAYS PAUL RAMSEY , Much Building is Going ’ on—Expects to Leave Soon for France. 1 -- i Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Ramsey, 1209 West Adams street, have the following letter from their son, Paul: Camp A. A. Humphreys, Va. June 20, 1918 Dear Parents: Now that 1 am back in the woods and hills along the Potomac river and about 25 miles from any town 1 have time to write you a few words about my trip. You probably got my letters and i cards I mailed on the road wdtich I i wrote in an awful hurry. They wouldn’t let us have any lights at . night and in the day time it was too much country to see and the train jumped around so much it was hard to write at all. We started from Jefferson Barracks ' last Monday at two-thirty going to St. Louis, then over the L. &. U. to , Louisville. Ky., through Illinois. From Ixniisville we went over the C. & O. through Kentucky into Virginia. We were transferred some place in Ke itucky and ended up at Covington, Ky. just across the river from Cincinnati. Then to Louisville through West Virginia to Charlottsville, Va. Then we were dinkied along until we were well in the mountains. Then we started on a trip through the mountains. I couldn’t write here and describe | the scenery 1 saw in daylight. The last night we were on the train 1 went to sleep, and when 1 woke up we were just leaving the mountains on the opposite side. We went through mountains for a day and a night. We passed through the Allegheny, Blue Ridge and the Cumberland mountains -o you can see I have enough mountains for awhile. , Finally we got to Doswell, Va., and there we left the C. & O. and were I transferred to the Washington. D. C. & Richmond, Va. railroad- and from I there wo arrived at a town, not a I town, just a milk depot. Then we I were taken back in the woods a couple I miles, then we marched for a couple I of miles to camp. Thursday noon. I And here we are. Away out from no I place. But it sure is a great place if I you don’t weaken. | 1 got my first drill today. Some I soldier I am. Only made two mis- I takes in about three hours drilling. I Not so bad. Believe me a nervous I guy or a deaf man has no time for I the army. You have got to be on the I job and that’s all there is to it. | 1 atn told that the men who come I to this camp are only kept here for | about six weeks and then sent to France. They sent 3.000 negroes away from here last night. This isjl a new camp and you never saw 'l’ e il hustle on anything like there is here.[l Everything moves around here. The, I camp is 17 miles square I guess and I nearly all woods to be cleared so you I can hardly imagine what it is. Just-I like trying to build the world in a day I They have army trucks here that I look as large as the Erie engines. I After this place is done it sure will I be a wonderful place to see. I wish I you could see it now while everything I is going. There are 16,000 men here now. It seems as though every time you turn around you meet a lieutenant or tome officer. All of them are | young fellows and some very, very, very smart men. too. We have wooden (barracks to sleep in. It. is-hot here in day time and . just about as cold at night. I have 1 ad a cold ever since I took the job. Well, that’s about all except I t n going to see it through for all I can. i I suppose everything is (). K. there. 1 1 1 hope so any way. It's all right with’ me only I would like to hear from ’ you. Well, dad I must close and ' stand retreat. That means to salute and stand at attention whilt the flag S is being lowered al evening and sun--1 rise in the morning. So hoping this ' finds you all well and happy, 1 remain Your son, I BROWN. | II Say. mamma, get me one of those '■|lted Cross kits from the local Red *’ Cross board there and send it to me.; '’[(live ajl tho boys my best..

WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES DO YOU WEAR Don’t be mislead by sale ads as no merchant can afford to have sales on good reliable merchandise. You can find plenty of poor stuff without looking very far; an easy way to waste money. But good clothes have to cost enough to be good; the main thing for you is to be sure they’re as good as they cost. HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX Clothes arc better than they cost. When we say “better than they cost’’ we mean your price, not the maker; we mean you’ll get more value for your money in these clothes than in any others. They’re made that way; to serve, not merely to sell. ' Prices SIB.OO to $35.00. We have other makes at $12.50 to $20.00HOLTHOUSE, SCHULTE & CO. Good Clothes Seilers for Men and Boys.
