Letters from Soldiers

Written to the Home Folks From This Side and the Other Side of the Water.

From Lieut. Kingwill. November 23, 191S. Mother encj Sister O'Mlnn. At last we can toll a llttln mors definitely about ourselves unj where wo ate and what we are fleeing. V.'ell, Just north of Thionvllle !n liberated Lorraine closn to the tr,rder of I.uxemtiurg, and believe me, M I should l!vo a thousand years I :ever would fariret !t. V.'e narrowly m!s,--ed passing throvigh -fetz. but we went through Conflans al Erley end the Inhabitants turned 0".:t and Bav us a wonderful welooni. T.liTle children who rou'ul not remember th time when German soldiers tvrre not around who did not know what candy tasted like who .3 Id not tin.ierstand who all the new soldiers in khaki were or whera they cams from, loolted In amazement at their ;.irnts waving home-ma.lo French and American fla? and crylnrr 'Vive ls Americana." You should have seen BO:ne of th American tlas soma of thorn mads of rarer with stars and stripes chalked out on It and others with piece of white polka dots on

blue gingham taking the place of our blue-starred field. Little- triumphal arches decorate J with finis and paper festoons wero at almost every town. Over them wer 1 user i p t !or. . such as "A no.i allies l'armte de la I.lberatloe." I was billeted one- night In a little cottage where an old crnnn eat by the tire und repeated over and over HK.aln "Ah oul vous avez Men travaliloz brlen travaiilez, braves soldatn les America Ins." And her little Kranddaus V.ter. with her black eyes snappinK, silt laughing by and learned

ironi n-.e how to count to t-n In I

llsh.

The other evening- I had dinner with the local hi: rrom as t e r a 15r:u:in and l.'.s s?n. who Just a week nw be. fore hid been discharged from battery had worked against my own men in two d'.:"ferent battles !n th. St Mlhlcl P.jtrht and the Mr scrap north of Yerdc.n and he Rot out his maps and showed mo where his Runs had been and I showed him where our !!n"s hid tieen and where we were 'oneealecl und

Tired,OverworkedMothers What You Need is Vino! War conditions have made the demand upon a mother's time and energy unlimited. In their zeal to do all in their power for their loved ones, they continually overwork and are soon in a nervous, run-down condition. Vinci, the non-secret cod liver and iron tonic, will build you up and make you strong. HERE IS PROOF

Whitman, Mas. "I suffered from a nervous, rundown condition and loss of strength so it was hard for me to $rpt around and do my work. After other medicines had failed to help me Vinol restored my health and strength ard I heartily recommend it to anyone eufferirp from a nervous, rtm-down condition." Mrs. K. M. Little.

After doctoring for awhile ard pi tting no better I tried Vinol ard to my surprise it built me up Bnd strengthened my whole system. It i3 certainly a good tonic. " Mrs. Wm, D. Dowson.

we compaied notes and tha German and American aoldlcri' various good points ar.d smoked and drank some fcood wine. He eould speak Italian. French and German a bright fellow, "my friend, the enemy," but I'll tell you more of the novel event when I jjret home. And when Is thut? '"When I Ket home." How often havn I pictured that happy day. How often I've wondered Just, how things will be. how you will look, how the old home town will seem. Well, It won't be this Christmas, for my division, 4th division, regular army, is onu of the ten picked divisions to form the Army of ceopatlon and this Christmas I suspect will tie spent in some German city. Cologne. Mannheim, Malii, l'rankfurt, or Carlsruhe. Hng-ne! My father In school In Carlsruhe some forty odd years ego! I wonder what he would say were he to know it ail. I mentioned that, Oad had been in Carlsruhe to a German the other evenin. "Why, then, did you come all this way to fh;ht us?" If it had not been for you Americans the Kiiglish and French would have been like this" und he blew some cljnr ashes off the table where they had fallen. "Hut, we in Lorraine," he continued, "are ld it Is the Americans who have come here for you will not h millute or abuse us." They have s far been very cordial, as a rule, and the other evening 1" Thlenvllle in the. movie show the performance was ended with 'Ronsolr Good n'.sht Guten Abend"- on the screen. It Is wonderful the whole thing, and there Is much still to come. I've

had my share of action and more, f-r I have been with the marines in the Hois do ltel'a.:. all through the second buttle of the Murne from Chateau Thirry to the Vesle, the Se. M!bl push and the b;nr advance from the Verdun to the Arjsoune and Peace. It his boon my Great Adventure and

THRIFT is the result of the saving habit, while Adversity is the result of the spending habit. Habits become more deep-rooted and powerful with every twenty-four hours of cultivation; hence, how necessary it is to watch and sec that the right one is carefully nurtured. The saving habit leads to the financial institution -it is there that encouragement to greater THRIFT 13 received through the payment of interest on the money placed in the savings account. Tomorrow is not as valuable as today in acquiring the saving habit. It is the ambition of every wife to be a successful helpmate, and the secret of this lies in the right beginning. The establishing of a savings account is one of the first essentials in the home. The wife who can show that she is a systematic saver is at once recognized a a capable and efficient manager. Another valuable aid is a personal checking account. It is convenient because you can till out your check for the exact amount of the bill and mail it, thus avoiding a personal trip. It is safe, because it relieves you of the necessity of carrying large amounts with you with the consequent danger of loss. It is businesslike because you can always know the balance on hand, and the canceled check is usually an undisputable receipt.
