RICHMOND SOLDIER DESCRIBES HEAVY STORM AT CAMP

Clarence Brlnkley has written his parents the following letter concerning his experiences during a hard storm which recently hit Gernster Aviation field: "I have just finished washing my

hands and face. This is the first time I have washed my face since last Tuesday morning and this is Thursday evening. I washed my hands a few times In a mud hole, but I would not put it on my face. They had to haul the water 18 miles from Lake Charles for us to drink, but they would not spare enough to even wash our mess kits in. I either poured what coffe that I "had left over mine or bathed the pans off in a mud hole. The wires were all down and we had no power to operate pumps. I suppose you have seen accounts of it in the papers. Here is my story: "I was on guard Monday night and Tuesday. It began to rain about 8 a. m. I went on duty from 10 to 12 and I never saw it rain harder in my life, and the wind was awful. I came back to the barracks for dinner, which was about a mile from the guard house. I had the wind at my back coming down so got along all right. But it took three of us an hour to get back to the guard house. The wind was blowing harder all the time and some of the buildings were beginning to go to pieces. It was about 3 o'clock and the buildings were beginning to go in all directions when the fire house went up iff the air and came down on the guard house, and of course, that caused a little excitement. Orders were given for guards and prisoners to run for their lives and we did. I got about ten feet from the guard house when I went down. I did not count the number of times t rolled over but when I stopped I was up against the side of the bake shop, but as that was a very dangerous place, I started out again and the next time 1 stopped I was in a big ditch about six feet deep, which runs alongside of the camp, and was almost full of water. I do not know how I would have gotten out of that ditch if it had not been for a smaller one running into It from across the field. I climbed into the smaller one and tip the bank and got behind a pile of dirt which had been thrown out of the ditch. Stayed there about 15 or 20 minutes, when the wind made a change and the rubbish began coming that way. Then I started for the machine gun range which is about a mile out In a field where a bank 300 feet long and 20 feet deep had been built. I walked when I could and crawled the rest of the way, but I got there. About one hundred other fellows were out there, too. The wind ceased about 5 o'clock and we came back to camp, the prisoners and all glad to be alive. My shoes were full of water from 10 a. m. to 7 p. m. I was wet all over but I was entirely all right, and mighty glad of it.

RICHMOND SAILOR VISITS LONDON ON SHORE LEAVE

Preston B. Fisher, who Is stationed on U. S. S. Wyoming has written of his experiences In London to his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Fisher, 524 North Sixteenth street. Fisher enlisted in the navy ten days after the United States entered the war and has been in foreign waters for the last ten months. The letter says: "Just back from a seven days' leave. I spent my leave in London and certainly had a fine time. It was our first liberty in six months and believe me it was good to walk on the street again even if it was not in the good old U. S. A. Saw several interesting things, the London tower. St. Paul cathedral. Westminster Abbey and also went through the king's stables. "I did not get to see King George, I wanted to see him, too. We saw the king's coach. Sure was fine looking, too. All gold and silver trimimngs, and it measures 104 feet from the tongue to the back. I'd like to breeze into some place in the U. S. with that outfit."

FRECKLES AND TAN SOON FADE AWAY

A freckle is merely a discolored, "rusty" spot lodged in the skin itself. Some skins are peculiarly sensitive to the effect of sun and wind. If your skin is of that kind, here's good news for you. A chemist, whose freckles used to embarrass him iuite a bit, one day found out that danthol tetrate was a simple and pleasant way of treating this trouble. The skin seems to absorb it quite promptly, and the way it gets after those rusty freckle spots is really wonderful. Get an ounce of danthol tetrate from any well known druggist, and apply it with the finger tips twice a day for a few days and notice the result. This is also an excellent way of removing tan and similar dlscoloratlons of the skin. It costs very little and is not a bit unpleasant to use. Adv.

For over a year now we have succeeded in maintaining our old prices, principally by virtue of a big increase in sales, which reduced our overhead cost. For our fiscal year ending July 1, 1918, our sales amounted to over a million dollars an increase of 58 over the preceding year. We had hoped to bridge the war period without a change in prices on
