THOSE 21 SINCE JUNE MUST REGISTER AUGUST 24

All men who have since the fifth day of June, 1918, and on or before the 24th day of August, 1918, attained their 21st birthday, will be required to register for war purposes on August 24th between 7 a. m. and 9 p. m. This registration concerns only those who have since June sth, 1918, and on or before August 24th, 1918, attained their twenty-first birthday. In view of the demand for Class 1 men this registration is deemed necessary. It is believed that this registration can be made without interferring wit-h the arrangements now under way for the larger registration. y E. L. Hollingsworth made a trip today to Lafayette and Indianapolis in the interest of the recruiting of men to serve overseas with the Young Men’s Christian Association. Mrs. Hollingsworth and her daughter, Mrs. Upjohn, are spending 'the summer at Charleviox, a Michigan summer resort.

GIVING OUT

Th® Struggle Discourage* Many a Citizen of Rensselaer. Around all day with an aching back, Can’t rest at night; Enough to make any one “give out” Doan’s Kidney Pills are helping thousands. They are for kidney backache; And other kidney ills. Here is Rensselaer proof of their merit: , .. Mrs. R. W. Bums, says: “I was suffering from a steady ache in my back and could hardly move without having knife-like pains through my kidneys. When I went to stoop over to tie my shoes or get up out of a chair, those pains caught me. My head ached and I felt nervous and tired. I was often so dizzy I could hardly stand. My kidneys acted too often and caused me -much distress. I used several boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they put me in good shape.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—-the same that Mrs. Burris had. Forster- Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

HOME SERVICE COMMITTEE.

At the meeting of the executive committee of the Red Cross chapter Wednesday evening, the following were appointed a committee to be known as the Home Service Committee: J. Budman Fleming/ Abraham Halleck, Charles G. Spitler and Delos Thompson. > It will ue the duty of this committee to see that the dependents of soldiers are so taken care of that he will be assured that while he is away serving in the war, his wife, children,* parents or other dependents are the object of the greatest concern and most tender care. It will be the duty of this committee to “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” The committee desires the co operation of all the citizens in the county, for it is anxious to serve when necessary any dependent of a soldier at war. This is not a matter of charity but a duty which we, who are not asked to give our services to our country on the firing Jine, owe to those who have gone to the colors. Special arrangement will be made for the branches of the Red Cross at Remington and Wheatfield to look after this important matter among their people.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST IS, 1918.

CECIL REES WRITES TWO INTERESTING LETTERS

I July 28, 1918. 7th Company. I Coast Art. Corps. Dear Father and Mother: Well as this is Sunday afternoon, I will answer your letter I got yesterday. Was very glad to hear from you all. I am well and hope you are the same. It is nice here today. Somewhat cooler. Say I saw the biggest turtle today I ever saw. It was about three feet across one way, and about four feet the other way. It weighs close to three hundred pounds. Of course, you will want to know how I happened to see it. Well a bunch was up the beach late yesterday eyening and saw him. They caught him and turned him over on his back, and went after him today in a mule cart. It made four men a big job to get him in the cart. After they got him up in the camp it was a curiosity for us all. Every body had to have his picture taken you know with the turtle to send home, hut I did not care to get that close to a live one, ha! ha! A large man who weighs over two hundred pounds got on the turtle’s back and it walked right off with him. I never dreamed of such a thing. I will get one of the pictures if I can and send it to you. I guess, they will cook the turtle, I don’t know. Some soup, eh? Well, we are getting lots of drill now. It is very interesting. Yesterday the entire post passed in review before the Colonel and his staff. It was grand. We are to be inspected again tomorrow to some other official from the capital, I guess. We parade as a general rule about three times weekly. Gee! we would make the “Kaiser” go if we could just get over there. I wish we could leave at once, but there is not much chance of that yet, I guess. From the way the papers read the American boys over there will have them whipped before we can get over there. They are sure giving them enough now, aren’t they. Well I had my picture taken today and after I get them I will serid you them if they are any good. I sent you a )>ox of sea shells today. You should get them about the time you get this letter. I sent some of all sizes so I think you will lite them. There are lots nicer ones away up the beach, but I have hot had time to go very far up the beach, as yet. I got a letter from Forest and Ethel the other day, too. I must answer soon. I got a card from Mr. A. C. Campbell yesterday. I got a letter from Thelma last week, she is well and I sent her car fare to come home on, so I think she will come home right away, now. Say pop, I was surprised to get a letter from you for you seldom write. Was glad you liked the handkerchief. I am glad they are starting the dredge for it will be the making of Newland and vicinity. Am glad the crops look fine. Well as it is very near church time, I must close. We have church every Sunday morning in our barracks. Good bye. Write soon. CECIL.

P. S. You asked me if I had made an “allotment.” No I did not for I thought it Ibest for it to be paid to me, so if I get a chance to get a furlough I can come home. It takes quite a lot for necessary things that are not issued us. Thursday, July 25, 1918. 7th Co., Coast Artillery Corps, Ft. Caswell, N. C. Dear Father and Mother:— Well as I am at leisure for about an hour I will answer your letter I goKyesterday. I am well and glad to hqar you are all the same. . I am workmg in the kitchen for a couple of days. We all have a turn as Kr P’s.

It is very warm here now but we don’t mind it very much any more. The temperature ranges from 90 to TOO most every day of late. That is pretty hot for drill/but we are getting more used to-it now. It is sure fine to drill out on the beach for there is a breeze there all the time. While the tide is out we drill out there. You asked me if I have taken out insurance. Yes, I did. I took out the full amount, ten thousand dollars. I think it is grand. It costs me six dollars and fifty cents per month. Mam, this money will in no wise keep me from being killed on the battle line, but it is a protection for me if I get crippled, to keep me after the war, or if I get killed it will be paid to you, not to take my place at home in your hearts, but, it is, in other words, a pension the same as other soldiers got in recent wars. Most all of the boys here have the full, amount also. You asked me why it wAs that most of the drafted men had to take equipment with them. I don’t know, only I know we volunteers did not have to furnish anything. We got hair brush, tooth brush, blankets, towels, soap, comb, pants, shirt, blouse, mess kit, recruit bag, rain coat and blue denims and two pairs of shoes and leggings, socks also, three extra pairs of shoestrings, the regulation hat and belt, and gun, of course. Also when we go to France we even get safety razors and I don’t know what all e&e, because we havfe not got all our equip'ment yet. Besides all this we have some very nice shower conveniences, everything at hand to make a real soldier. We are now getting instructions with our rifles, how to load, aim, trigger Squeeze, etc. Part of us will go rifle range soon, I guess. I understand that one has to make a possible 18 out Of 25 at close range to be put on real target practice. I have not found tiine to gather any shells lately, but will get them some time and

THE NEIGHBOR HOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEANING. Suggestion* for the Conservation Picnic Lunch. Many may think there cannot be the good time picnic with the food regulation as it is, but it is not necessary to eliminate the picnic from our summer’s program. The lunch should, hew ever, b? simple, attractive yet nutritious. Let us have enough, not the waste that so often accompanies picnics. In choosing our menu we must ask ourselves whether our need is greater than that of the Allies and our dependent soldiers and whether the food which we would ohoose must be set aside for them and dedicated to them. In planning our picnic lunch consider your garden produce, whether or not it can be called upon to ’ give variety to the menu. • Practically all vegetables grown in the garden may be used in salads and a great many in sandwiches. Not only may we use the fresh materials, but the left-overs as well. How good is that salad made from the left-over potatoes, peas and tomatoes, using that minute mayonnaise! Many think it impossible to make sandwiches now that we have the wheat shortage. However, sandwiches may be made from the quick breads which contain no wheat. Many of these are delicious without the customary filling. War-time cakes made from substitute flours and corn syrup may accompany us to-the picnic. Suggestive Sandwich Filling. 1. Peanut Raisin.—s 4 cup seeded raisins, 54 cup shelled roasted peanuts, 54 lemon, softened butter. 2. Egg Sandwich.—3 hard-boiled eggs for six sandwiches, 3 tablespoons melted butter, celery, salt, paprika. 8. Nut Bread Sandwiches.—Mix cottage cheese with chopped stuffed olives, a little salt and * paprika, and spread on buttered nut bread. Suggestive Salads. 1. Beet Salad.—6 young beets of uniform size, 54 cup fresh cooked peas, 54 cup chopped sweet peppers, % cup celery, lettuce, dressing. 2. Carrot Salad.—l medium sized carrot, 1 cup cooked peas, 54 cup chopped celery, 6 stuffed olives, 1 small head lettuce, mayonnaise or cooked dressing. Quick Bread*. Oat-Raisin Bread.—l 4 cup syrup, 14 cup fat, 1 egg, 1 cup milk, 2-3 cup raisins, 254 cups rolled oats (ground), 54 teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoons baking powders. Date Bread.—l% cup corn flour, 114 cup ground rolled oats, 6 teaspoons baking powder, 14 cup corn syrup, 1 egg, 3-4 teaspoon salt, 154 cup liquid, 1 cup chopped dates. Mix and bake one and one-fourth hours. Wheatles* Cake*. Hot Water Ginger Bread.—l cup molasses, 14 cup boiling Water, 214 cups barley flour, 1 teaspoon soda, 154 teaspoon ginger, 54 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons melted fat.
