The following Is an abstract from a letter from Dr. ZinkJiani to his fa ther, written in August, it shows that both of tbe men have been in tbe thickest of the fight. They bad a ten days' leave of absence during the Christmas holidays which they spent In Paris. ' - Walking through the battle front In France, during which the shell fire was too great for his horse, Captain Paul II. Zinkham. In tbe Medical Reserve corps, France, tell in a letter to bis lather," Louis F. Zinkham, superintendent of Wash ington asylum hospital, how he lo cated bis brtother, lieutenant Ar thur M. Zinkham, also In tbe same service in France. , ! Hoth officers were working in dif ferent units and neither knew where th other was doing his "bit.". Cap tain Zinkham tells how he found hi brother. It is an follows:, ' "The past five days have - been about as exiting as my checkered career has ever produced, and about as much hard work." Four days ago a bead case came in with brother Arthur's name to the card. 1 then knew he was somewhere at the .front and I cot busy -found a wounded officer from his division, and he tolj me where tbe artillery camp was. I got permission-from the C. O. for the day. I walked. At about S j. m. 4 found the division headquarters, and about where the ambulance was. four, and a half miles on. "I borrowed a horse and rode un til the shell fire was too much for the horse. Found tbe ambulance to find that Arthur was in the advanced dressing station, 'one and a half miles farther on.' I reached htm about 6 p.m. and found him in a dugout on the bank of a Canal. The noise was terrific; he nearly broke down when he saw me, as he didn't know I was within miles. He bad been shelled out the day before and been struek over tbe kidney, by a piece of stone, when a shell exploded near by. , Had' a. bad bruise, but. thank God. noth ings worse. ;"! 'I only had . about ten - minutes with him. He said to me in Russian that he was scared,: I was so scare had to laugh. I bucked him up some be was nervous, but other wise In good shape. : I nearly broke my heart to leave him. I saw him watching me as far as he could see me. I had a rough trip back, but made it byl daylight. 'I traveled fourteen miles to see him and four teen hack. They couldn't under stand how I found him or why I wasn't stopped. ..They didn't know how I; wanted to see him, and then my . American uniform helped. No one ever questioned me. I would have gone to the boche lines if he had been there. r r "I have been working very hard ever since, as we have been driving the boche back since that night.' My ambulance went up today and will be near, I expect to follow soon. I may get another chance to see him. Your boys are right where things are thickest and doing their bit." ' A letter from Lieutenant Zinkham states he has since seen ils brother. Captain Zinkham, under more favor able conditions and; spent the day with him. ' V i V SUCCESSFUL " fcHEDICKIAL COMBINATION And one that nad Ion len needed ?nd had not seemed to be possible, is food's Sarsaparilla taken before eniinfr and Peptiron after - eating. These two irreat medicine supple ment each other in purifying1 and en riebing the blood, strengthening and toning the nerves, putting life- into the body and color into -tbe face. Taken in conjunction, tbey are the ideal remedy for the blood ' and nerves. If a laxative is needed take Hood's Pills. All druggists. the United States shipyard volun teers. I ' , ' : Building Program Outlined. "Our shipbuilding program con templates the construction of 6 mil lion tons annunally, but owing to tho want of (be necessary skilled men. we are not under present condition in a position to turn out that ton nage. "The shipping board has the mon ey. It has the yards. , It has tbe material. The. housiag question Is being rapidly cleared up. All that Iff needed Is to obtain the necessary efficient labor. "It should be brought home to rmployers and to tbe employes of the Industries of the nation that their own future depends on the con struction of these ships. The fact Jr that the recent order .issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield, closing the factories of the whole country, and the more recent freight embar go Issued by Secretary. McAdoo. ty ing up all the freight with the ex ception of food and fuel, came not because of a falliag down on the part of the carriers themselves, but because of the lack of ships, Thj reason for this is plain. The speed ing up of the American factories pll d up In, the eastern seaports, and packed Into every railway siding out side of the seaboard cities, thous ands cf loaded cars 'of materials for Ihe war sone. The result was that even the, coal required for the hp in harbor could not get through, and even the few ship which we now possess wer held in harbor by emp ty bunkers and could not sail.
