Local Soldiers in France Write to Steelton Chapter Tell

The bit of joy which the comfort

Interesting Letter
The letter in full follows;
"My Dear Ladies;
"To-day we received our first
packages from the states and among
them we find the comfort kits which
you sent us. They were forwarded
to us from our concentration camp
and thus the delay In our receiving
them.
"We are very gTateful to you for
your kind remembrance and feel
that these few lines will not ade
quately express our many thanks.
The kits are ideal, being complete in
every detail that adds to a soldier's
comforts. We have seen many kits
sent by various Bed Cross Chapters
to the men in our camp.
"Wo can Slate without exag
geration that ours arc the most
complete and are envied by the
lioys. When we opened our kits

SHOULD MAKE A
MILLIONFOR HIM
Cincinnati man discovers drug
that loosens corns so they
lift out.
Local druggists are having a tre
mendous call for freezone, the drug
which is said to shrivel a corn, root
and all, without any pain.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn relieves the
soreness at once, and shortly the en
tire corn, root and all, lifts right
out with the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed
at small cost in quarter ounce bot
tles. which is sufficient to take o/T
every hard or soft cqrn from one's
feet. It is a sticky substance whiCh
dries at once, and does not inflame
or even irritate the surrounding tis
sue or skin. There is no excuse for
anyone inviting death by infection
or lockjaw from cutting their corns
now.—Adv.
spied was the real American To
bacco. Should the diction of this
letter seem poi'tiliar at times
you can blame it on Intoxicat
ing fumes emitted from our
pipes.
"Although it has been but four
hours since we received the pipes
they are already broken in. Of course
conditions existing here are much
different from those in the states,
but the strict censorship prohibits
our relating many interesting and
exciting experiences which we have
encountered. Out-of-door life which
seems to be the one great privilege
of a soldier is agreeing with us.
"All of us are in the very best
of health. Our friends. Poorback
and Snoke. wish to send their hearty
thanks and appreciation. They con
sider themselves not only fortunate
but also highly honored In receiving
kits from the Steelton Red Cross
Chapter. The branch of service in
which we are enlisted is very closely
allied with the American Red Cross,
and we are in a position to appreci
ate the great service it lends to the
soldiers and humanity at large. We
hope that the people of Steelton will
in the future give you the co-opera
tion that they have in the past.
"Our time as well as the amount
of our correspondence is limited.
Letters are more precious than gold.
We would be more than delighted to
hear from any of the people of Steel
ton from time to time.
"With our best wiphes to your
organization and to the people of
Steelton, we remain her sons.

I ' wlrallll Bible while it is in
their hands. Some weeks ago men
connected with the Department of
Agriculture began to notice an in
crease in the number of inquiries be
ing made by farmers as to the best
means of getting rid of rats in barns,
many of the letters indicating that
dogs and cats and tlmehonored
traps were too slow Jn the present
emergency. Numerous studies of
ways have been made in the state
laboratories and it is hoped by the
suggestions given to save thousands
of dollars worth of foodstuffs which
are annually destroyed or ruined by
rats and mice.
Colncidentally, a series of experi
ments is about being completed by
national and state agricultural ex
perts to determine new methods to
exterminate the moth and other
pests that infest wheat while in the
fields and in the barns. Some of
these have been tried out on farms
near Harrisburg and Philadelphia

been adopted to minimize danger
from wheat flies.

ties and may be started in one west

toll roads by the state and the coun
ties. In other counties steps have
been inaugurated to find out what
it will cost to abolish tollgates. A
general plan for systematic freeing
of toll roads with state aid will prob
ably be considered this winter when
information about the various turn
pikes is in hand. In a number of
instances complaints have been filed
with the Public Service Commis
sion regarding manner in which toll
roads are maintained in Lancaster,
York and Bucks counties.
