LETTERS FBOMSDLDIERS

From Floyd Perkins. To Xrrs. H. W; Perkins, 793 Beal avenue, Hammond, from her son, Floyd Terklns. Battery C, 79th F. A.. A. E. F. Somewhere In France. Aug. 10, 1918. rear Mother: It has been several days since I wrote uu and of course you will be looking ior this letter. Well, as usual. I have Deen kept very busy lately and sometimes something- turns up In the evening to hinder me from writing;. We are kept about as busy here as when we xvcra at the front, so you see I don't set an opportunity to write very often. When I first landed in France I heard a coon say that everybody works in France but Pershing and he sweats like to keep out of It. He is right. I ruess. Well, I am well at present and hope all at home are too. I have received eeveral papers lately and have enjoyed reading them over In my spare moments between times. The latest one was July 3, and In some earlier than that I read of tha wreck. Of course It as old by that time as I had already heard of it in your letters, but even if it is old news I sure appreciate the At present I am sitting under an fple tree, a place I always liked to be when I went to the country, but this one is minus apples. An airoplane is flying overhead and I can plainly hear the buzz of the motor. We see bo many of them it Is like automobiles going by, we are so used to them. Over in the field there Is a scrub ball game and they want me to come over and play. I would like to finish this letter first, but I believe I will run short of news noon and so it will be a short letter. It la about nine now and getting dusk, so T guess I will stop for tonight and as tomorrow Is Sunday I am sure I will have time to finish. I will also have niofe news then to send. I want to

write a couple more letters. So I gues I ttll go over and play for a little while as It isn't very often we get the chaance. "Well, this is Sunday afternoon and I am going to finish this letter and write nna to Florence too. I am going to write a couple more if I can. I don't know If I told you about getting a letter from Aunt Ella sometime ago. I am going to try to write her a few lines also. Have you heard anything from Aunt Anna about Roy yet? I have not been fcrtonate enough to meet him or Harold either yet. I wish I could meet them. There are quite a few fellows I know over here, yet- I haven't met a one I know. Harry Rimbach of Ham,mon4 Is here somewhere. I don't think

you know him, but have heard me speai cf him before. It Js a beautiful day today and the

EE PRETTY! TURN -GRflYHAIR DARK Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brines back the natural color and lustre to-the hair when faded. streaked or gray. Tears ago the only way to get this mixture was to make It at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Now. adays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." you wiH get a large bottle of this faomus old recipe, improved by the addition of other Ingredients, at a small cost. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking on small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It Is not Intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.

BREAK A CHILD'S GOLD BY Gil OTP OF FIGS Cleanses the little liver and . bowels and they Get i well quick.

When your child suffers from a cold don't wait; give the little stomach, liver and bowels a gentle, thorough cleansing at. once. When cross, peevish, listless, pale, dpesn't sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath is bad, stomach sour, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all the clog-ged-up, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. If your child coughs, snuffles and has caught cold or is feverish or has a sore throat, fcive a good dose of "California Syrup of Figs," to evacuate the bowels, no dlffarence what other treatment Is given. Sick children needn't be coaxed to take this harmless "fruit laxative." Millions of mothers keep It handy because they know Its action on the stomach, liver and towels Is prompt and sure. They also know a little given to-day saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 60-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs." which contains directions for babies, children of all ags and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. Get tho genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Adv.

sun is quite hot. There is a nice breeze blowing though and I am sitting in the shade of the same apple tree as I was last night. I played ball a little while last night. Well. I suppose you folks are all down the river to the camp today. I wonder if it is as nice a day there as it is here. I would like to be down there with you, although where you are it is morning and here it is afternoon. I haven't received any letters for sev

eral days. I am quite anxious to know If you got the handkerchiefs I sent. I sent them all in one box to Florence, but she didn't say anything about receiving it in the last letter I got, so they couldn't of got there yet. I wish I could get to some place where I could buy souvenirs. I would get something nice for you as I have the money in my pocket now. r. I will have to wait uutil I get to sorae place like that. Well, it is almost the middle of August now and pretty soon school will start again. But I suppose Herbert will

be glad to go back again, as he likes school. Yes, it is over six months now since I was home and that time certainly did go by fast. It won't be long before Christmas now. Well, mother, I am out of news again and guess I will have to close for this time. Hoping this finds you all well and with lots of love to all, I am as ever Your loving son. FLOYD PERKINS, Bat. C. 79th F. A., A. E. F.

From Huron Nichols. Rest Camp in France, Aug. 19, 1918. Dear Brother and Family: After a month 6f traveling about and mixing matters with the Germans, I am glad to say I am all together yet and thankful for the protection given me on several occasions. You can tell the world I know what being under the fire of their artillery ani machine guns is 1-ke and had the pleasure of camping on ground that they decided to move from a short time before leaving many things behind that they would have taken along if given more time. Had plenty of chances to get a helmet for you, but not knowing how long I would be permitted to keep my own. and was most too all In to carry my equipment when we left the line, I didn't bring one. I am very anxious to hear from every one. especially mother, and am sorry it tvas necessary to add more worry by not writing, but I have told her there would be times when we couldn't write end this was one time surely. Write soon and often and I'll do the best I can. As ever. Brother and Uncle, HURON O. NICHOLS, Co. F, l7th Inf., A. E. T.
