DR. JOHNSON HOME SATURDAY

Dr. C. E. Johnson, who has been on the border with Co. M since last June, was in Rensselaer over Saturday night on a twenty-four-hour furlough. He had been detailed to accompany Battery B of Purdue university, which was recently discharged, to Lafayette, and took advantage of the occasion to make a short visit home. Sunday afternoon he left for New Orleans to inspect the Louisiana troops, which are to be discharged from the service. Dr. Johnson said it was the general belief among the guard that they would return north within tho next two or three weeks. In fact, the doctor expects to be home and resume his practice by October 10. Dr. Johnson has not been in extra good health since leaving here and has lost forty pounds in weight.
