ILER WALKER WRITES HOME FROM FRANCE

Iler Walker, who is in France, writes to 'his parents, Mt. and Mia. D. E. Walker, of this city, as follows: France, October 3, 1918. Dear Mother and All:— T Hpw are you all tonight? I am feeling fine, only a slight headache. Hope it .is all gone by tomorrow for I think we will have some big day's work. The other clothing unit is going to depart so we are going to lake over the warehouse they are leaving. That means we have to move all of our stock to the other place. It is only a few blocks but it will have to be put on trucks'to get it over there. I don’t know how many fellows we will have to help us, but I hope a plenty. Was out watching the boys fire at an airplane, but as it was so far away all we could see was the bursting shells, which made a little cloud of smoke when they broke. It has been very quiet here for some time in the air as it has been toO stormy for them to go up. When it is clear ye see them every day. So far I have v never seen an air battle, but I have seen them chasing “them” with shells. Today was pay-day. I have more soap wrappers than I can carry. We get five francs for each dollar, which m'akes quite a stack when $25 is changed into French money. I have a U. S. $1 which I am saving as a souvenir. The way the papers read I have hopes of getting tq spend it in another year on U. S, soil. If that is all the longer I am over here I’ll be

quite lucky. We are staying in our Warehouse, but there are no fires of any kind. At present I am in a nice warm office that belong: to a lumber company here. The old gent is a fine old chap. He gave me the key to the joint and went home. That is some real hospitality, is what I mean. We have a good place to write but I never could write fast enough to keep warm. I have been giving out a large quantity of winter clothing the last few days. The hospital corps just now left with two hundred blankets. I ought to keep warm, as we have about five thousand blankets in stock and tehre are only four of us sleeping there are only four of us sleeping go abound-. I like it better over here than in the other place. We can throw cigarette stubs any direction and they will hit the ground. We are sure getting some swell eats now. I had pumpkin pie for dinner and hot rolls for supper, which is a rare thing in the army. What they had for breakfast none of us know, for we didn’t get up until 7 a. m., which was too late to eat. We are all heavy sleepers and none of us has gny desire to get up in the cold. Well, mother, I’ll bring this to a close and beat it for the hay. So hoping this finds you all well and happy, as it leaves me, will ring off.. Lovingly, ILER 306 Clothing Unit, A. E. F., A. P. O. 791, via New York.

ROBERT JOHNSON PARTICIPATED IN THE BIG DRIVE

The following letter was received by his parents from Robert C. Johnson, who formerly lived in Rensselaer, but enlisted from his home in Lafayette. -He is a dispatch bearer in France: “I will write while I have a little time. I am not in the 3rd Division any more. I transferred to the Ist headquarters about a week ago. We have it pretty easy here but it is getting cold and raining about every'day. The roads sure are slippery riding a motorcycle. I have a new one now. A twin HarleyDavisson. It sure is some machine, too. Well, from the looks of things now, I guess the war will soon be over. They sure have got the Germans on the run now. We were at Chateau Thierry from May 30th till August 15th during all the drive. We were the first troops there and the 3rd Division stopped the Germans at the Marne. I will always remember June Ist, for it was the first tiiqe I was under fire. Half the Chateau Thierry was held by Germans _and our troops held this side of the river and I had to take dispatches in. I have been under rfire several times since. Our division left there and reached the St. Mihiel sector just in time to see all the excitement there. We were in dugouts there and I sure got a bunch of cooties. I haven’t got rid of them yet. I guess I won’t as long as lam in France. After we left that sector I transferred out of the Third Division.”

PREVENTTHE FLU Keep Your System Clean Inoida and Out. SPRAY YOUR NOSE AND THROAT DAILY. TAKE A LAXATIVE BATH. Give Nature a Chance by Thorough Cleanliness and You Will Be Almost Sure to Avoid It. The Symptoms.' Grippe, or influenza as it is now called, usually begins with a chill followed by aching, feverislmess and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lining of the air passages—nose, throat and bronchial tubes —there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. How to Avoid the Disease. Evidences seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly thrdugh coughing, sneezing or spitting. So. avoid persons having colas —common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate tne lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. The Treatment. Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake but to avoid spreading the disease to others —take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don’t worry. v Quinine, Aspirin or Dover’s Powders, et£., may be administered by the .physician’s directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure for specific influenza —the disease must run its f course. Nature itself will throw off the attack if only you keep your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these reasons it is very important that the patient, remain in bed until his strength returns. Prevention Is the Thing. Gljando Gargle is a splendid disinfectant and keeps the glands and air passages in a healthy condition. For a Laxative and Tonic take the general Gland-Aid treatment.
