Stevens.) On Board V. S. S. Rochester, Newport Newn. Va., January 2(1, ItilS. Deor Friend J:'p: Received your Christmas card a few days ago and was glad to hear from you. I wrote you a letter the first time I was hero but you don't seem to have received It, no I'll make up for lost time now. Wo left New York on the 20th of December for France with a con voy of ten thousand troops. We had an easy trip over everything went smooth, except for one brush we had with a submarine. We did not get It though and it didu't do 'any harm, so everythlnc was all ' right Coming back we ran into a : heavy gale and had a mighty, hard ! time of It, believe me. This old : shin dlda can-can for three days. I By that time I was getting to be a tight-rope walker of the first ! order, believe me, but we finally ran out of It, then everything went smooth till we arrived here on tho eighteenth of January- We bad been twenty-two days at sea, out of sight of land.. That was the long est 1 havo ever ben at sea. We would have been over and back in less than half that time but one of our convoys could only make ten knots. There are several hundred ships here of nil sizes and most nation alities. All of them are camou flaged. Some are pretty queer look ing boats, believe me. One huge transpqrt has a destroyer painted on Its side. Some are streaked with bars of red and green, or black and blue, but most of them follow a regular pattern. All are armed. ' We are anchored between a bark and a superdreadn'jnght of the lat est type. The bark lost her main mast in the same storm we were in and Is laid up for repairs. The weather Is cold here. Ice fills the bay and the ground is cov ered with snow. When we came In the whqje ship was encased In a sheet of Ice. Will have to close now as it is time to go to work. Write soon as ! a day may make a difference of two weeks or a month to me. Your loyal friend, W. A. BRADWAY. 4- 4- .u Have the Observer Job Dept. ! J estimate on your printing needs.

When You Have u Cold. It is when you have a severe col.d that you appreciate the good quali ties of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. Mrs. Frank Crocker, Pana, 111., writes: "Our five-rar-old son Paul caught a severe col.d last winter that settled on his lungs and he had ter rible coughing spells. We were greatly worried about him as the medicine we gavo him did not help him In the least. A neighbor spoke so highly of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that I got a hottlo of It. The first dose benefitted him so much that I continued giving It to him un til be was cured." Adv.
