TUESDAY, DEC. 31, :191 [LETTERS FROM 1 “SOMEWHERE” | ‘IN FRANCE| FROM “RED” PARSONS. . Troyon on ‘Meuse. France, Nov. 25, 1918 Dear Folks: just received your most welcome letters of Nov. 3; also the pictures, so will proceed by criticising the same. Both Dad and Mr. Wanner didn’t have their hats far enough back on their knob; and Paul evidently don’t know how to wear his O. S. cap as he looks very much like the way tie duns wear theirs. Of course, don’t tell him for he is apt to get peeved about it. Take and sew the two sides together tupking. it peaked instead of flat then he will. look like a real man. \ The censor has let up on us guys a little so. am able to tell you where Tam, also where I have been. On the 8th day of June we landed Liverpool, took a train to Dove where we stayed until the 10th. While there I took in Windsor Castle andi Caesar's old stamping ground. | The 10th we crossed the channel to Calais, that night we had ‘our first air rald, and formally introduced into this war. We were issued gas masks and instructed in their use. Left Calais for Eu on the 13th. Arrived at Eu at 7 a. m. June 14, where we went in to| rest for a week. Eu is a little south of Calais, near Trieport which is on the coast. : The 2ist we went! to Molliens au Bois which is up near Albert: and Amiens. We spent two months there with the British and Australians. Here we was introduced to an artil- lery- barrage and what “over the top” really means, as we were in ihe “‘Al- bert” push on July 4 and Viellers-Bret- toneau Aug. 8. ‘We left Molliens on August 24 for Tronville which is near Bar le Duc. where we went in for a week's rest. Left there on Sept. 8 for Fromerville near Verdun. I had the privilege of being, among the first enlisted men in ‘Verdun as we even beat the M. P.’s * there.

It was at Consenvoye that that detail I was in had our little spill on Oct. 7. Consenvoye is also on the Mieuse, northwest of Verdun. We left there for Troyon on Oct. 25 and have been here sipce. This front was part of the St. Mihiel salient so you see we have been on three of the biggest fronts over. here, the Somme. the Argonne and the St. Mihiel; ‘and when we get on that.N.

An examining physician for one of ithe prominent Life Insurance Com- ‘panies, in an interview on the subject. made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected ‘is because kid- ney trouble is so common to the Amer- * fcan people, and the large majority of y f those whose applications are declined, do:not even suspect that they have the dinease. - . Judging from reports from druggists ry who- are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one prepara- tion that.has been very sucessful fir overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record ‘pf success. We find that Swamp-Root is strictly an herbal compound and we would ad- vise our readers who feel in need of WHAT BISMARCK WANTS TO.KNOW The Answer is Found in the State- ment’ of a’ Bismarck Resident.

The land had already been leased for five years for grazing purposes by the state board of university and school lands. What effect the defense coun- cil’s action will have on this lease, and the attitude which the board of university and school lands will take remains to be seen.
