Profitable Painting When paint makes your home more sightly, pre- vents decay, and reduces housework, it has justified its purchase. When, in addition, it enhances the selling value of your property, it is paying dividends. Certain-teed Paints and Varnishes are made to fill every requirement—to respond to every condition of use or exposure. For interior walls, ceilings, woodwork, floors and furniture; for exterior walls, roofs, porches, outbuildings and porch furniture,— Certain-teed is found to spread farther, look better and last longer than ordinary paints and varnishes. * Floor and Furniture Stain The illustration suggests the use of Certain-teed Floor and Furniture Stain for making old furniture look new. This product is very dura- ble, as well as decorative. It contains an admixture of the highest grade floor varnish, which gives it unusual elasticity, makes it difficult to scratch or scar, and presents a rich, Justrous surface attractive to the eye and easy to clean. Certain-teed Paints and Varnishes are made for all uses, in all colors, and in all sizes of cans. Any store that sells paints can supply you. If the dealer you apply to can- not immediately supply what you want, he can obtain it promptly.

Of | course are not actually in the trenches very many days at a time, but what time we were in, I can say | that I actually enjoyed. It was | new and so different from what had imagined before hand that it | ! was very interesting and I did not think of the danger. I recognized my old friend chlorine gas with which 1 had. experimented at school 1 had one or two pretty good tastes of it but not enough to do any harm. It simply affected my nose and lungs a little and made me feel a little car sick. Of course it is foolish to | try and describe all the noises and { they cannot be written anyway. It is a regular fireworks display at night, taking all the signal rockets and Iights, colored and plain. On the way back from the trenches we stopped at a pretty little village for a few day much differ- ent from the first one, evervthing be- ing cleaner—people and all. | be- came acquainted with one family, ag | T generally do, and they seemed quite attached to me. They seem to like the Yanks for we are the first Amer- icans to spend any time here. They consisted of an old man and lady who have two sons away at war and a daughter is a nurse at a military hospital, but home on a few weeks’ leave, and her daughter, a little girl of eight vears. She is another Mag- dalen. She calls me her hrother. How is that for getting in strong? On the other hand, 1 call her my lit- tle sister. She is quite pretty and attractive and affectionate. This family lived in Paris before the war but they came to this quiet village later. 1 have not received mail for a couple of weeks, but it is reasonable to catch up when we settle down again. 1 just wrote to let vou I am whole and set you at easc may be afloat. am also I know that unpunetured and to against rumors that March 28, 1918 We are again sottled but, 1 do not know how long. Part of the company is quartered in barracks and part is billeted. T am billeted with four un- attached men in an empty house. There is only one room that can used, and that used to be a kitchen. We have a fireplace so everything is quite comfortable. When we came in 1 received your hox, the cake was good although it was only thirty-eight dayvs old. There were flve cakes in our billet that day, and we all cut up our cakes at different times, and passed them around. I don’t know how much 1 can say about the motoriation, it came out in the papers, so there s no secret. The Machine Gun company has small limbers drawn by mules carrying the guns and ammunition. These have simply been replaced by Fords of the ambulance type. Of course it is a quicker means of transportation, for we are attached to divisional headquarters, as the paper stated. T am learning the language and get along alright. 1 have for- gotten much of my German, though it perhaps may Dbe revived upon tho proper occasian. At the front, I have met men from all over France. From the Alps, Paris, Bordeaux, Belgium, Moracco, Algria and everywhere, all French soldiers. I have also seen some Russians wha came to fight with the French. April 14,1918 Our period “en repos”’ following the tour of duty as it is called, was broken up by certain events of which you have probably read. We passed through the place our first long en- campment and are now not a great many miles from there. You spoke of Captain Connors, as we are in the same 102 division we arc always pretty near together. I saw one of his men today, also Johnnie Bertini yesterday.
