PERFUMES AND TOILET WATERS -0— PULLAR & NIVEN MILLIONAIRE, BUT WEARS BLUE JEANS Fiwin A. Brown Adopts Garb | Until War Is Ended > : Denver, Colo.,, May 22.—Edwin A Brown, Denver sociologist and uted a millionaire, rep- | author of stories of men who are “down and out”, as | a measure of war time economy, has announced that he will wear only suits of blue jeans, until the war ends. He already has appeared in his new garb at two Sunday services at the First Presbyterian chureh, one of the most fashionable in Denye Mr. Brown's first appearance at church caused more than ordinary at- tention to his clean and neatly ironed “war suit.” It drew almost as much attention as the sermon his fellow parishioners said. Mr. Brown says he made the shange from the conventional cloth- «g of a man of lis position to be “square with his conscience.” “It was one way I found of pur- chasing a Liberty bond,” he said. “A suit of the best cloth costs as much or more than a Liberty bond. I felt that the boys in the trenches give no thought to what they wear or eat and that I could do likewise and use the difference in the cost of my clothing In buying bonds.” The Denver man the same material. One he calls h “soclety suit.”” This one always is neatly laundered. The other, of the same material, he uses for work in the war garden, It is of the same material only not so well ironed. ]t,! of trousers and jumper, of atten worn mostly by railroad enginemen and machinists. “The best home-manufactured denim can be bought, overalls and jumper for $4.50 w suit.” said Brown,” and a splendid quality of khaki for $6 a suit.

First of all, want to tell vou that yours and Gertrude's let- ters are coming through fine; get one about every 10 days, which is fine. Your last letter I received while sit- ting in a gun pit in the first line trench We. have been having some party over here, as you probably know from reading the papers, and they have a lot more in them than we are allowed to write. We had the expe- rience of taking over a Boche trench and it was some novelty for us. We got some machine guns and equip- ment from them and I have a leather belt and bayonet which I took off a Boche who had two machine gun bul- lets in his forehead. On the big brass buckle on the belt is the inscription, ‘Gott mit u I'm keeping this as a souvenir as I know you’ll be glad to have it.

We are still at the front, but in a quiet sector, where there is little danger except from gas. The hig shells don’'t bother me as much as the one-pounders, which are about the smallest shells thrown. One of them in particular came so close T could feel- the heat, and at another time a ‘77’ (about three inches in di- ameter and 15 inches long) burst over my gun position and threw me down six stairs into a dugout. I was numb all over and couldn’t under- stand why T was not all cut up. After a while T fel¢ all right, but I think I must be wearing a horseshoe. These incidents were common, but some of the boys in other companies were not so lucky. “A big piece of luck, though, was when an infantry boy, about 20 feet from me, was leaning against the par- apet and a big one hit about four feet in front of him. It caved the trench in on top of him, but didn’'t go off. There it lay, shining like a big milk pail. The poor chap was shell shocked but not scratched. “Through all this the boys are as happy as can be, and the minute there's a patrol picked to go into No Man's Land there’s a scramble to go and they feel hurt if-they are not picked. “One Vvears old, up and gave up. 1918, drop you a little Boche, about 16 or 17 came over with his hands The poor devil had had enough of it and was willing to be taken a prisoner.

We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and vet, how very easy it is if onc will only adopt the morning inside bath. Iolks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split- ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach. can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag- nant matter. whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the nrevious day’'s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfuily in- vigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs, The millions of people who are bothered with ('Onsli{pn(i(‘n, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow s, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a qquarter pound of limestone phosphate rorn stops the soreress instantly, and pbon the corn shrivels up so it lifts rlght out, root and all, without pain. his drug never inflames or even ir- ritates the surrounding tissue or skin. from the drug store.

Bober Writes of Patrolling No Man’s Land Supply Sergeant Walter Bober of Company E has written the follow- ing letter in which he tells of patrol work in No Man's Land and of an attack by a German contingent: “Somewhere in France, March 27th, 1918, “Dear— “Received your most welcomed let- ter. Was certainly glad to hear from you, For the last two weeks, I haven't been able to write any let- ters at all because we were in the trenches. I suppose you know all about it by this time by reading the New Britain papers. “I received the Quinine Pills that you sent me and also the package of smokes. I sure did appreciate it as | I was all out of tobacco and it came might handy., “Just a few lines to let you know of my experiences in the first line trenches. We were in for 26 days. The very first night, our Co. occupied the first line trench. It seems to me that the Boche knew that we were new men. They threw a barrage on us. the shells dropped on all sides of us, This lasted for about 45 minutes. That sae night I received orders to go out and patrol the wire entangle- ments that were in front of us. Well, four privates and myself had that job for five nights. Everything went along smooth for few nights and on the third night the Boche opened fire on,us, with three inch shells. When we heard the shells coming our way, we all ducked near a bank. One shell exploded just about thirty vards in front of us and we heard another coming so we all male one jump in the trench, which was near by. (Believe me, it was the biggest jump that I ever made in my life.) Just as we jumped in,' the shell landed about 10 yards within the trench and that wasn't enough. We heard some more coming so we laid down flat in water and mud over a foot deep. There were ten shells that landed within the radius of thirty yards around us. Then they raised the deuce and bombarded = the road from our place all the way up to the French patrol, (Distance of about 150 yards). You ought to see that road after they passel through. It a mess. he 6th night, we all had our equipment packed and waited for an- other Co. to come and take charge and relieve us. Tt was nine o'clock when the Boche made an attack on our front line tremch with only 8 men in. Most of them were New Britain boys, The first thing that came over, were shells of all kinds, rifie grenades, hand grenades, one pounders, gas shells and rifle bullets which were fired by a machine gun. The alr was so thick that a dog could not get by safely. We then threw up a flare which lighted in the air and threw a bright light and there 30 rards in front of us were the Boche = to get through, well, just there the eight men that were left in the trench, most of them New Britain men drove them away. The shells were so thick that T gave up hopes of getting back to my Company., Well, T guess T'll stop as the censor will not pass any more. Give my regards to all the girls and hope to hear from you soon.” WALTER. HARD TO GET OIL.
