From Kemie Denton. To Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Denton. 1151 4'--iro street, Hammond. Somewhere in Germany. September 22, 1918. N ar Folks: m back away from the trenches now. guess I can write again. Paper is a rce article around here. We are vay out in the jungle?, miles from any r .vii, only those that were blown to the nund by the American artillery durk.g h drive. This is Sunday and the f.rst real rest have had for many days. Tes it's i!Me rest. We are still in rnge of the l.emy's artillery, but it don't worry us T: ich. I a;n safe and s- und ar.d have i-!ped capture 13.00 hoche and kill a:f as many, and I think I was fori;: ate considering the dangerous task had wh'n we went "over the top." I r.s knocked cold ones by a hi shell !.! got a little gas. but it didn't hurt i h bit, but I had a hard Job getting i ." heart out of my throat after that 1 '! knocked me out. Relieve me. a fellow sure does think S home and mother when he is lying in trench between our guns and the remy's first line about 4 a. m. waiting or the command "Over the top" to face he bullets and shells. I shall never nret the scene just at dawn when liies of lad." in khaki swept down that lope toward the Huns. Our barrage ras the worst horror I ever hope to Mtness. N'o wonder the Germans ran. "ou couldn't even think and the red are from the big guns turned the nrk clouded heavens into hell. I was rith some big tanks when we reached hi Germans' front line. Streams of risoners taken by the doughboys had 1 ready started for the rear, and dead fins were lying everywhere, hundreds ere wounded and every dugout was nil of Germans with their hands up, nd some women that, were operating lachine guns were taken. You should have seen that battlefield, 'he lads all started over with packs, "it the.- couldn't be bothered with them, "here were wagon loads of blanket. !."thes, shoes, canned meats, guns, rres. automobiles and Everything magir.able; alsn that left by the Gerians. They piled It all tip yesterday, oroe piles bring almost as big as a ouse and everything free talk about

Tfc.e war has left hlra an orphan and without relatives. Just fccv,' ha came Into the possession 2 a certain regiment cf engineers In France is clouded with mystery, but he did come Into their posscciicu and -an ofnclall? eder tod. When an American rcs-mcnt adopt3 a French kid. and many of them havo done so, tbcro 13 no hall wa:--business alcut it. The war time strength of a regiment la 2,127 men. "He's our kid and our niascct. and ha Isn't going to. he brought up an ignoramus," was tho consensus of opinion, to tho hat was passed, and Jean cam into possession of Cvo thousand francs to te used to educate Mm. That is a thousand dollars in American rr-oney. Jeaa was fitted out with a tinyAmerican uniform, and with a whole regiment to keep an eye on him, he is developing rapidly into mi American also into a military man. Some time after his formal adoption by the regiment, his adopted fathers were called to the front and had to leavo Jean behind, to his regret and theirs. Now he is being cared for and fed and educated by the local Y. M. C A organization. His business in life is teaching French to American soldiers, and he says to all who apply fc-r inr'orxatioa that he is goiug to N'ew York to attend the public schools, "apres la guerre."

.sweater? and fur coats tthe Dutch had them). The battle has settled down some now. It is getting awfully cold h're now. This mornir.g there was a big frost. We haven't had A real hot day here this summer. It rains about every day and ihe mud is a fright. Since thy have started to save the sugar back in the States we are getting Mnne now. We had sweet rice and cocoa for surper tonight. The fellows ate themselves sick. We sure crave for swett stuff. We also received a little pi"ce of chocolate tonight. It is the first I have tasted in a month. Well, thi i Monday nisht ar.d it Is laming. Worked all morning very hard and am renting now. It is almost time for suryr. I l.ave to go tip to the front tonight and help put up barb-wire in front of our trenches in "No Man's Land," and believe me it is a dangerous job and the mud is ktifo riep. I haven't any idea now when I will get back in some town and get a chance to take a bath. I haven't had my clothing off in the last two weeks. We are gradually closing in on the Germans every day, so I am willing to stay up here. I don't see how the old war could possibly last all w inter, but tt may. I received plenty mall lately, a dozen copies of The Time3 and a big bunch of letters, riease keep on writing me

plenty of letters. I write every chance I get. You would excuse this smeary letter If jou could see whera I am w riting. Well, the bugle Is blowing now for us to line up for chow and I must close as I have to leave at six for the trenches. Love to everyone, KERXIE.

i From Private Win, T. Daly.

Somewhere In France. ftear Mothr: I suppose you know by this time that I was taken sick with a bad case of appendicitis on my way over here and I had to be operated on on the boat and the doctor kept me on the boat for three days after we landed until it had to leave the doks for somewhere in the V. S. A. again. The Pr. sure did fix me up in good shape and he gave me all tbe care I wanted. He sent me to the Navy hospital and they are taking good care of me. I have met some nice nurses here. This is a pretty large

hospital from what I have seen of it.(

I can not see much of this city from j

where I am in bed, but I ejepect to be up In a few days. I am in now fifteen days and I am feeling much better today. I am a little lonesome for you. mother, but after I received some mail from the U. S. A. I will feel a little better and something tells me I will re

ceive tome in a few daya. Well, mother how is the weather? All it does here is rain. Are they still drafting the boye? Well, how does Frank stand in the new draft from 18 to 43? I don't think they villi need him from what I have heard this evening because will all be coming home soon. I would like to tell you mother but lt Is against the law to tell the good news that is in Franca this evening. Well, did you receive my baseball outfit that I sent from Camp Merrit? I hope you have because I will make good use of them when I get home again. Give my best regards to all In Whit

ing, when I am able to get around I wi!! write all my friends and I will tell them all about this place. Well, mother, I guess I will have to close for this evening because my a rm is getting pretty Wred. I will write in a few days again. I am feeling much better today. I am writing this letter in bed. I would like to hear from you folks soon. Goodbye, mother, and good luck to all. Your loving son. WILLIAM T. DALT. Medical Replacement Unit, No. 32. A. E. I. via X. Y.

WHILE THEY LA

IS JEPIDEM1C HERE Many Cases Develop into Deadly Pneumonia. Easier to Prevent Than Cure. How to Avoid.

The constant daily increase of Sranish Sifluenza reported by local physicians ;hows clearly that many people are failrig to take tho simple ordinary precauj ns necessary to avoid infection. For. ihiie TnMuenr.a. after its development, is lometitir-s difficult cure, it is an fily preventable disease. The best plan is to begin treatment .efore the first symptom starts. For no iher disease will develop so quickly or Vread so rapidly. You may feel fine nday be sick tomorrow and lose a week tr more of work. You will indeed be trtunate if pneumonia does not develop. The air today is full of Influenza erms. Kvery breath you take is likely 0 draw- them Into your nose and throat. Tou can prevent the disea.se by killing be. germs before they spread through,iit your body. There is probably no fifer or surer way to do this than to o to the nearest drug store and get one if ihe famous Kyomcl Inhaling Outfits insisting of a bottle of the pure Oil of ivomei and a little vest-pocket, hard nbher inhaling device into which a fewIrons of the oil of Hyomti aro poured. Just breathe this Oil of Hyomei deep dto your nose, throat and lungs and ivory particle of air that enters your ireathing organs will be charged with n antiseptic, germ killing balsam that till absolutely destroy the germs of nttuenza that have found lodgment here. You can't do this too often. Xo ordinary night and morning gargling or 1 reat spraying will be sufficient so ftig as during the day you come In "t ;tant contact with infection. The Iomet inhaelr is small and can be concpiently carried in a hand-bag or vestoket. Every hour or so throughout he day take It out and draw a few reaths of its pure healing air Into your Tie and throat. By doing this you can i event infection and check the further 1 read of the disease even though you re coming In direct conact with it. 'his is an inexpensive treatment as the rihaler will last a lifetime and further urTlies of the Oil of Hyomei can be H' at any drug store tor a few cents XOTE: Oil of Hyomei, so strongly eenmmended above for the prevention I Spanish Influenza, is not a new disovery but is the application of an old nd time-tried treatment to a n"w disuse. Hyomei has been a etandard In he treatment of catarrh and colds for 3most twenty years and ! sold by ruggists everywhere. Hundreds of prnie in Hammond and vicinity keep a r.vemei outfit with inhaler on tho bathcom shelf for regular winter use. If ru have one get It out now and use If. r you haven't one. go to the nearest rug store and get one today. It is the nty of every person, not only for his n sake but for the community to do II in his power to prevent further pread of this epidemic and to stamp lt aC adv.
