If people paRt sixty yeai'B of ago
could bo persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold und remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especial

Htli C'oiu'iij- Ten Thousand
Troops to l'ralice One Brush
' ' With Submarine.
(Letter fiom W, A. Drndway to
Jap H. 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.

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.
