Hospital Boys Have : Plenty of Good Food French People llave Very TJttlo Conversation Ih l,urgely f'nrrieil On With the Hum!. Somowheio In Franco. November 30, 1917. Dear Mother and Sister: Friday, 10:30 A. M. and our "Thanksgiving" Is all over. But we sure had' some dinner and everyone had plenty to cat. Our menu was as follows: Turkey, dressing, mashed spuds and gravy, asparagus, peas, sliced peaches, bread and butler, cof fee, sugar and milk, cako, so you see no one was slighted and every one was satisfied. I got the "blues" yesterday when I thought of how much we had to eat and to see these French people go Into a store here and got their dally allowance of bread; probably never have had that much to cat In a life-time, for ono meal. Last night wo lopped it with "champagne." Everybody bore drinks wlno and in fact It Is more plentiful than water and Is Just as common or moio so to the French people. Wo got to witness a football game yesterday before dinner between two companies of engineers and it was a dandy. Outside of a little mud It Is fine hero and has not been very cold yot. We have seen snow only once and thai was1 a few mornings ago when Had tho Grip Three Weeks. With January comes lagrlppo, Lingering colds seem to settle in the system, causing one to ache all over feel feverish and chilly, tired, heavy and drooping. Mrs. Lizzie Tyles, Henderson, Ky., writes: "My daugh ter had lagrippe for three weeks. I had tho doctor and bought medicine and nono of it did any pood. I. gave her Foley's Honey and Tar and now sho is all right. I have told all my friends about It." Insist on the gen uine Foley's Honey and Tar. Sold everywhere. Adv.

These old fashioned ways still seem awful odd and strnngo and yesterday I walked down to 3co an old fellow thrashing with a flail. Every day he keeps pounding away at the grain. When I pass some one with a, pair of wooden shoes on I turn around nnd watch them plod up tho street and we seo tho same thing every day. Yesterday the town crier came through the streets beat ing a drum and tho people all came out and pretty soon ho stopped nnd hollowed out the news In French, so wo can't tell whether it Is good or bad and for all wo know he may bo talking about us. You go into a store hero and If they are out of what you want, which is generally the .case, they make a few motions to us with their, hands and say "Finish," meaning "all gone." About nil we know is "wee, wee," monning "yes," and "finish." Wo still do most of oar talking with our hands and the other day I took my washing up to sorao. woman and wo had a regular hand to hand conversation. One of the boys made up a song and a poem that I will send you for they aro pretty good. Well, dear ones, I had better quit as it will soon be dinner time. Give papa and Ted lots of love for me nnd lots and lots to you both.riease don't worry for I am fine and feel dandy. Will wrlto again soon ns I can. Your loving hoy and brother, - PRIVATE SUKBER L.

F: ' VOn DEMOCRACY Now tho Oregon boys were all good sports, H (Just between you and me); And when the war with the BocheS began in that land far o'er tho sea, Tho wholo blamed layout volun teered to fight for Democracy! The boys of La Grande and lmbler, Union, Covo and Pendleton, All flocked together to join that ig Sale Is ers Are Snapping Up Unequaled Bargains E.KlRTLEY Ladies' Ready-to-Weaa bunch know as Hospital Unit Ono. And then they did fours right and left, all through tho scorching day, , Until at last tho orders came nnd to war they inarched away. The people gathered in purging thrones to bid tho bo'.s farewell. And ninny a mother's hoart that night with sorrow and pain' did swell, i. To see her son belr.g taken awey to what Sherman said was "Hell." X iWoII tho. boys went first to Clack amas, nnd then to ' New York state, Where they visited the Great White Way, and often stayed out late. Then ono fine morn' at old Camp Mills, whilo the nightly shadows paled, The boys packed up their barrack bags and o'er the sea3 they sailed. To the land that's known as "Sunny France," whero fiercest battles raged, In that great war for Democracy, with all the world engaged. I Did they ride in "side door Pull mans" and sleep in barn3? "Hell, yes!" They doctored mumps and measles, and crabbed about the "mess;" They got wet feet rheumatics, colds, la grippe but then you see, No matter it they died, it was for "world Democracy!"
