In active service, France, with the American expeditionary forces, July 26, 1918 Dear Mother:—I received your let- ter and was very glad to hear from you, and | am glad to hear that you are all well. AMichae! Shea and I am the same just at present. I suppose vou are reading a lot in the papers bout the boys over hers, and how they are going Over the Fop. Well mother, we have been over the top three times and we sure did have the “Huns’ on the run and we are anking God that we are able to tell bout it. We started out one morn- ing with shells bursting all around us thinking all the time that one would get us soon, and it sure was great to see what the Loys went through and iater still when we got over the first line to see the damage that we had done, and to find out that cost them more than it did us. After we got them slarted one morning early, I thought that we would never catch them again and it vasn't until after 2 o'clock ‘that we %ot to a hill that they were making a stand on, that we got them. And believe me mother, it was sure some hike and we got reiieved that night, so we could get a little rest and went right back the next morning and started them on the run again, and mother, going over the top is just hell on'earth. Just now I am in camp, little ways back of the lines, rest- and we have heard that we are g out for a rest and we have sure carned it. So mother, give my best regards to the neighbors, love ‘to all tire folks; hoping these lines find you well and happy. Loving son, THOMAS DELANEY.

M Agnes Shea of Jewett City Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap Soap should be used very cardfully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it The' best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. _One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair 4| dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to_manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheéap, and a few ounces will supply every mem- ber of the family for menths. except that the eastern area of high- TRPLE TIE AS ROQUE TOURNEY STARTS | J. C. KIRK 1917 Champion Fair weather favored the opening of the 37th anpual National Roque tour- nament on Tuesday to be held in this city during this week. The players from all over the country have arriv- ed and nearly thirty games were play- ed with the result that George Huot, of Chicopee Falls, C. C, King of Chi- cago and C. G. Williams of Washing- ton, were tied for first place, each winning two games and losing none. All the players ,appeared to be in top form on Tuesday and played in fine form, aithough the play in mest cases was rather slow. Mr. Huot and C. C. Kink displayed the best form of the day and made many brilliant shots from difficult positions. The fredictions at the graunds on Tues- day evening were that either Huat or King would take awav the National honors while C. G. Williams appears to be in the running and may take away some of the glory himself. Champion J. C. Kirk of Philadelphia was not up to his usual form and dropped one game to W. C. Rodman of Philadelphia but easily won from Dr. R. Zartman of Philadelphia. In the second division A. Talbot of Springfield, a new comer to the courts. showed good form and took the first_two games handily as did Dr. J. C. Walton of Philadeiphia, another new comer. The other games in sec. ond division were fast and interesting. Gerald Brassil, defender of the Adams mallgt and last year runner up in the raeé for national honors lost his game in the first division and during Tuesday evening playved two games with L. C. Williamson of Phil- adelphia, challenger for the Adams Mallet. Brassil took the first same in short order n#* allowing Judge Will- jamsca an arch. In the secord game the Judge got the jump on his young- er opponent and beat him hands down. The final game for the mallet is to be played this (Wednescday) evening. As Eddie Clark, holder of the first Van Wickle medal is unablefi to play the medal has heen turned over to George Huot to defend and C. C. King of Chicago came forth with a chal- lenge. Two games ‘were played and each won one game. Mr. King taking the first easily while Huot with a burst of pretty playing won without allow- ing the ex-champ a single arch. Tn the second Van Wickle play R. Peale defended the medal against A. Talbot but lost two games which zives the Springfield man a_good lead. The results of Suesday's play fol- lows: 3 First Division.

As I got into the German trenches, I was shot in the right arm by a machine gun and 1 lay there about ten minutes before I was removed to the dressing station. That was my first time over the top and if I get anather chance, I will go over again. I am in the base hospital and 1 am getting along all right. [ expect to get back to my company in a few weeks.

Editor of “Physician’s Who's Who” Makes Important Statement. Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop- ing arms, neck and bust. and replacing ugly holiows and angles by the soft, curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men .and women wha keenly feel their excessive thinness, Thinness and weakness are usually Que to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate _than is contained in modern foods. Physiclans claim there is nothing that will supply this defi- cleney so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phos- phate, which is mexpensive and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all drug- gists under a_guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the mnecessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Clinical tests made in St. Catherine's hospital, N. Y.
