The Democrat: Church is just over and the call for “mess” has not yet sounded, so I will write you a short sketch of camp life at Fort Thomas. The routine is about the same as it was at Camp Mount, four drills a day, guard mount at 9:15, company drill at 8:15, battalion drill at 10:20, regimental drill at 2:15, and grand review or dress parade at 6:00. Our duties are all light but some of the boys still kick. We have not experienced any trouble as yet in any respect except the scarcity of water. The 160th have to carry water one-half mile and then it is hike warm, tastes bad and is full of malaria but we have competent physicians and surgeons to cope with any disease that may run rife. The Ixiys are anxious and excitedly waiting for pajiers and letters of any kind. My Democrat has been read by at least ten of the boys. We have one of the most beautiful places in Georgia to camp. It is situated ten miles north of Chattanooga and three miles east of Chickmauga, between two great, lovely hills, twelve miles from Lookout mountain and another mountain the name of which I can not find out. The people here know very little of anything. There are no southern lieauties here, except the U. S. Marshall’s daughter, and there are four guards stationed around the house for her protection against the soldiers. We bathe in a small stream two miles east of camp, near which there is a cane brake, and the first day after we landed hero there were 1500 fish poles and canes in camp. They were soon ordered out however, and when piled up made a bunch ten feet high and thirty feet across. The stream we bathe in is a sluggish, dirty looking piece of water, but it is wet and that suffices. Major Miller is still the

Anderson, of Rossville, York county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. “I had a severe attack lately,” he says, “and procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles.” Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it in their home, not only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequaled.

Values along all lines are scooting skyward and there is no saying where or when the rise will stop. In some instances the rise in commodities is the result of the inevitable laws of supply and demand in others it is purely arbitrary that is. speculative. The only thing on which the price has not yet advanced is labor. At the outbreak of the war there were too many idle men readv to take the places vacated by those who have enlisted in the army to create an v additional demanded for labor. If the number of troops now under arms shall prove sufficient to carry on war it is unlikely that there will be any Tto^h ble m in « er ‘” ral wages. Thus there will be no compensation sor fl .'' ar Pnces. ’ Fortunately the conflict promises to lie of short' dilation.
