rPAOE six HrEDFOTlD MATL TOTOTTXTC, MEDFORD, 6T?EnOY, TjITTRSDAY. 'AUGUST 9. 1017 7 First Hilly ScrKi-anl l.ylo Purdin of tho Seventh company, evidently misunderstood mi article in the Mail Tribune In which .Mayor Gates called attention to tho large quaii tlttea of canned fruit being col lected to be sent to tho company. The mayor said that tho boys should not be all loaded up with fruit at once, but that It should he parceled out to the company from llmo to time In order that t'noy -would have a steady supply on hand all the time. . In a letter to a friend in thin city Just received, Sergeant Purdln wrltos as followB from Tort Stevens: "We noticed In the Mall Tribune the other day that the people of Med ford and other towns of the valley wero trying to get a shipment of canned fruit to send to tho Seventh company; and that certain remarks were made to the effect that It would not be the proper thing for us to eat. Now believe me that, as you know, 1b tho one thing which we can't get enough of In an army training camp. So if there Is any one who wants to send us anything in that line, I am sure it would not he wasted; and 1 am also suro It would be vary grato fully received. ' "The army ration Is now (0.43.21 per day per man, and that allows us money enough to buy some fruit, hut not as much as wo could use. We usually have fruit at least for one meal a day, and that Is a great help; but at that we could stand more and still get used to not having It In a week or two and not hurt ourselves in the least. "In conclusion, I will state that Captnln Vance is of the opinion that tho men can not hurt themselves by eating plenty of fruit of any sort."
