ju"t come hack from over there- and I csa say for those who have buys in the t.'vv? 'Jbry are treated fin.?. All seem jj be very happy and think the kaiser will soon be crying "kamorad." Since I got back I see the Fourth Liberty Loan i3 on. I hope Hammond and Last Chicago are living up to their past reputation and will go "over the tup." They can't lend for a better cause. This is an honor and not an obligation. I hope I when I get back egaiiu for 1 will be, "oxer there" again by the. time you will ftet this, to hear that East Chicago and Hammond will have given more than their Quota. Keep up the good work. RVSSKLL M. IS'ARUON'. V. S. S. Santa Luisa. P. S. I have read in The Times about Private Kussmaul and the gassed and shell shocked soldiers and cm say 1 have seen them at the base hospitals in France and he is right. No one know a till they see the sufferings of these men. From Clarence Crawford. Written to his brother. Earl J. Crawford. Crown Point. He is somewhere In England. Dear Brother: -I have been a long time in answering your letter. I am in my bunk orr the ship and have some time so will write, but It will be some si me timi? before you get it. I found j Harry Graves at Camp Mills. He was looking fine. I suppose prices aro hitfh ard Roods hard to get. The shoes I sot before I left are Wineberg. You must be jretty busy if it took you so long to write that letter. If Pest leaves soon maybe I will Ket to see him. It sure is One that Art Clausen got in John "Wheeler's company. Of the fellows who came to Camp Mills when I did, Pete Henning has been made corporal. Uoesel and Milo Thomas are on the ship with me. I didn't see any of the rest of the fellows after leaving Camp Mills. V.' had church this morning. The chaplain sure is a fine talker. I wrote to mother and Mabel. Got a letter from "Ralph Hixon while In camp. I think Jay and I will be near each other; the division wi'.l be kept pretty tlose together. I think. I have seen several Hying fish but not any big ones yet. Was a little seasick at first, but am all rijrht now . It is a great life if you don't weaken. The T. M. C. A. are with us wherever we go. They are sure fine. I am safe and feeling fine. "Will close with love. CLARENCE R. CRAWFORD. From Ed Murray. "Written to his mother and father, Mr. r.nd Mrs. John P. Murray, 92 Plummer avenue, Hammond. France, Sept. 25, 1313. pear Ma arid Ia: Just received a letter from Nell and wos sure glad to hear from home. I have just sent Nell and Ann a handkerchief apiece. Let me know if they receive them, I am in the best at health and hope you are also. I was to mass and communion this morning in a church that has thirty alters in it. They have or.e main alter in the center of the building and the rest around the sides. They started to build the church in the twelfth ctntury and finished in 1S60. It sure Is a swell place. I aTso walked across a bridge the Romans built. You know thfse towns were built in the early centuries and are very old. I am writing this letter at work. I was working days, but chansred to nights for then I can to church on Sundays. They have a K. of C. chaplain here regularly. How everything at home? Hope it is the best. You received a card that John had arrived safe? That was good news. T hope I meet him. "Was walking into th Red Cross canteen tonight and a follow put his hand on my shoulder and said: "You are from Hammond; Murray i your name." I did not know him at firt. but then I recognized him. Nell knows the fellow. His name Is Uagen. CRYING FOR HELP Lots of It in Hammond But Daily Growing Less. The kidneys often cry for help. Not another organ In the whole body luore delicately constructed; Not one more important to health. The kidneys are the filters of the blood. When they fail the blood becomes foul and rolsonous. There can be no health where there is poisoned blood. , Backache is one of the frequent in-j dicatior.s of kidney trouble. It is often the kidneys' cry for help, j Heed it. Read what Doan's Kidney Pills hive done for overworked kidneys. Proof of merit in the following statement: Mrs. Davie Milne. 771 S. Homan St.. j Hammond, says: "The first symptom j of kidney trouble in my case was back- i ache. When I washed, sharp pains shot j through th small of my back and almost doubled me up. I was all tired out and my kidneys acted lrenularly. too. When I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills. I bought a box and they gave me relief right away. I kept on taking them until I had finished eight boxes and by that time. I was entirely cured." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Fills the same that Mrs. Milne had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs.. Buffalo, N. T. Adv.

Dear Mr. Louis: Well. I am finally, after a year's toil tng and repairing. "Somewhere in Eng- j land" and I spent the Sabbath in an en- j tirely different manner than I would have in the good old V. S. A. We pa - i raded the streets of England and I was I kpt busy observing the many customs that differ from ours in the states. i Though the homes are all of the old 1 type, the surroundings are beautiful j and sure represent lots of care, tinre I and devotion. The good old Stars and ! Stripes are very much in display, in ; fact J saw as many t. S. A. flags as British. We "Sammy" boys, as the English call us, are held in high esteem by them. It is laughable to wiuwss a i group of our lads upon receiving a sum! of English money in exchange for that : of American, endeavoring to solve the I value of each denomination. But- with the assistance of a number of English soldiers the mystery is easily cleared. I It is now that we" are commencing to i authentically hear related stories of the ! various German atrocities and they are I shockingly described. The food is good i and not a crumb wasted. The weather j seems to have a dally habit of raining, j It may intert you to know that it is! the common opinion here that the war will end by this Christmas and believe me if it don't I pity those damn Germans as we are quite ready for the picnic. Wo had quite an eventful trip across the pond but I cannot go into

detail. Well. Mr. Louis, bye bye fori't'zens of that community to subscribe j

From Corporal L. J. Parry. Bordeaux, France. Sept. 16. Well, here it is the lfith of September and I have yet to see a Boche and get my hands on one. We are still getting ready near Bordeaux and I never was so fit in all my life. Got a dozen letters and several copies of The Times today and had a rich, rare feast. It was a night for sore eyes. We were sent to the rifle range all last week and yesterday I made some good scores at 100, 200 and 300 yards. If I ever get contact with a Boche at those distances, he Is going to drop, believe me. We will take up the 400, 500 and BOO yard distances and will then be all through. I have qualified on the range and it is "big town" stuff to see the way some of the lads have learned to manipulate the new- rifle. What do you think of the war now? The Hun is on the run and he is going to keep on running. The censorship is getting stricter every day. or I could tell you a lot of things. Hammond must be dead with the enlisted men and drafted men gone out of It. I do hope they clean out that bunch of slackers who were there when 1 left in April and there were plenty of them. Any able-bodied man who hides hehind a petticoat to get out of the draft oueht to be in jail and just watch those birds claim all the credit when the war is over. Gee, If they only knew how badly they are needed and could see conditions here, I know they wouldn't hang back. I certainly feel like a full-fledged warrior. I guess there's nothinsr I've missed up to date. My service record Is too notch and though I felt like answering sick call several times, the stiff tipper lip for me and haven't had a sick day checked aeainst me. On our long hikes I have yet to fall out, like some of the fellows do. Several of the kids say "look at Fa" stand the gaff," but when a 30-year-old guylike myself, with thinning hair can step off ten miles heavily loaded. U shows what army training does. I'm brown as a berry, hard as nails and have rut on weight both in hody and mind. Very likely before this reaches you T '! be in the thick of it and

Hoover, says that any one who helps j lhe canners to take ore of the huge crop of tomatoes wfll be performing a real patriotic service. Tomatoes have a way of ripening in a hurry and a lot of extra workers are needed to get the l crop into the cans. A good old "air tight" of American tomatoes Is one of the rnrist prized essentials among th hoys st the front. Therefore, Pr. Barnard says, help out the corners if you don't need the wages. LADIES! DARKEN mm hi Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. S'ne used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on thut dull, faded or ttreaked appearance, this simple mixture whs applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at i any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's j Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will gt this famous old preparation, im proved by the addition of other inmrfirtiii which run be denended unon I to restore natural color and bcauly to th hair. A well-known downtown druggist ' says it darkens the hair so naturally land evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after anoihcr application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Veth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mirigition or prevention of disease. Adv.

Bo Or Die Spirit Seen. As an individual offensive we delivered what one would call a mighty blow under the supreme command of General Pershing who was at the scene of the battle. W restored to France over 150 i miles of square territory. Acompanying us we were supported by a minority of French participation. French tanks I ver- manned by Americans for the first time, arid when one tank came to a halt tno two Yanks inside, without fear of any sort, came out and leaped-f rogged into our infantry. It was the most re-i markable event I have even see, and such is the American fighting apirit-to no or a.e. You already know where we struck j and in he sector I was in we took a , large village before ten hours of fight- , ir.g had passed. The Huns stiffened, their reslstence near the village but our j great aeroplanes manned by Yanks com pleted the task of ridding Fritz and Hans from the town. Oot Priti's Number. "We've got Fritz's number," was the new cry as the infantry went over and I am sure that you will agree with all of us. The quality of the F'russian disci-1 pline is shot to bits. Officers and men alike were quick in giving themselves up and from the average jireen or doughboy you can learn that the Huns are plain cowards. The night of our attack the weather was very poor and while you at home were suffering from the intense heat our bos in the trenches were no pikers Adler-i-ka Again!

We kept up our advance at a rapid pace, finally stopping near some woods to get our breath. The air birds were now flying in their formations and after a ten minute rest we kept on advancing through the woods that we thought would be swept by machine gun fire. A . few machine guns were up In the trees, j but the snipers were soon put out of j commission, the Hun gunners were either killed or captured.

BEEKE E? TOO BSSHUS A Says wi can't help but look better and feel better after an Inside bath. To look one's best and feel one s best Is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day's waste, sour fermentations and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leaves in the alimentary organs a certain nmoant of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, forms toxins and poisons which are theu sucked into the 'blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck in iily nourthjnnt to sustain th body. If you want to see the glow m healthy bloom in your cheeks, to se-; your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansir.g, sweetening and pufffying the entire alimentary tract, and" before putting more food into the stomach. Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or rllld complexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phosphate hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in one or two weeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that Just ss soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the Inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more important than outside cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.

If You Don't Buy a Fourth Liberty Loan Bond Uncle Sam will be mighty inquisitive! Double Quick Time for the 4th Loan! Whadda Mean "Afford?" A Successful Remedy. All things succeed which really deserve to. which fill a real need, which prove their worth. The fact that the famous old root and herb remedy, Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, has for three generat!ons been relieving women of this country from the worst forms of female ills and has won such a strong place in our American homes proves its merit beyond the question of a doubt.
