The letters follow: July 24, 1917. “Dear Father and Mother:— “We are out of sight of land. This is the first time I have ever been out of sight of land and it is funny to | look on all sides and see nothing but water, water, water. f We have four meals a day.

There is no danger from U-boats here but “safety first.” This trip completes the 30th round trip for this vessel in two years. Only two U-Boats have been sighted in that time. “It was very warm last night but we have an electric fan in the state- room which keeps the air stirred up if it isn’t fresh and so I sleep fine.

There are hundreds of little fishing boats around us. “Have just received word that we will put into Halifax tomorrow.

Healed in One Month by Cuticura. “When about one year old our boy's body began to be covered with a form of pimples which developed into a rash. 2 It caused him a great deal of intense burning and itching which made him scratch and his clothing 7 seemed to aggravate the | breaking out. The skin was very sore, and he would lie awake nights fretting. His body was bare of skin in some places. ‘I then purchased Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

The manufacturing in- dustry of the country has made won- derful response to the demands of the War Department. Deliveries have been made that seemed impossible a few weeks ago. It should be con- sidered that, with the outbreak of war, the manufacturing establish- ments of this country had no large reserves, owing to domestic con- sumption and large Yoreign orders. These industries were organized quickly for our own needs; additional looms, spindles and other facilities have been provided, and there has been a remarkable mobilization in manufacturing. “The United States was dependent practically upon its own resources in the equipment of a new army. It was impossible to call upon the na- tions associated with us, although previous. to our entry into the war, other countriés might avail them- selves of American goods. The United States, with limited reserves and an initial lack of extraordinary facilities, has made a remarkable record, when all difficulties are considered. We have not only equipped the army at home. but have fitted out an expeditionary force within the short period of six months. Our industries are now sur- prisingly mobilized and their future ple.” 29,555, up to Oct. 2, received: bed sacks, 15,000; blanks, 63,965; cotton breeches, 30,030; woolen breeches, 38,865; cotton coats, 10,000; woolen coats, 25,029; summer drawers, 66,- 210; winter drawers, 90,678; hats, 51,- 358; legsings, 654,668; overcoats, 27.- 390; fiannel shirts, 19,615; cotton | stockings, 125,110; light woolen stock- | ings, 85,684; cotton undershirts, 73, 870; woolen undershirts, 81,658; | shoes, 78,687.
