"I had another interesting Sun
day." he writes, "spending it with
some French friends on a small is
land in the Gulf of Morbilau. A
short boatride through a narrow
channel, dotted by numerous islands
made a delightful trip. I am learn

Tells of Life at Front
as Ambulance Driver
In a letter to his friends here.
Earnest A. Doepke. S. S. N". 631,
Convois Automobiles. Par B. C. M..
French Army, describes life in an
auto truck company in a French
army, and incidentallj* shows the
brighter side of the war. as well as
its grimmer experiences.
He describes a vacation at Aix
Les Bams in the French Alps, on
Lake Bourget. near Mount Blanc.
He tells of a pleasent vacation with
"lots of nice girls. French and Am
erican. and tennis, boating, swim
ming. picnics, dancing.etc," arid
"then last but not least a nice hotel
to sleep in."
To show that the work of the
ambulancier is not all pleasure,
however, he cites an experience of a
fellow driver. The latter says:
"During the Boche advance these
fellows had no regular post—they
just ran up as close as they could
to the Huns and then load their
cars and go on. Well, one of them
a very quiet, slow talking fellow that
looked and acted as though he'd
fall dead at the sight of a Boche.
somehow gf>t lost with a load of
"blesses" and finally ended up in the
Boche lines, and there is where he
showed the real stuff.
He put the French officer who
was riding on the seat with him in
side. then smeared mud and clay
all over his car to make it unrecog
nizable and then put on an old Boche
helmet and with a revolver on his
seat next to him he made one dash
through the masses of Boche troops
and the old boy got hack safe.
When later the officer questioned
him about his trip to Germany he
said very slowly. '1 told you that
they couldn't get me". "
Poepke adds that American news
papers are much appreciated by the
men in his camp.

OF STOREKEEPER
! A certain unassuming gentleman
jin this city who happens to be a
• prominent dealer in furniture and
who up to a few weeks ago had be
come a recluse because of his phys
ical condition, tells this remarkable
and most interesting tale:
"For a number of years," he said. I
"I have been so closely confined to
my business working, zealously to
make my store representative in
every' respect that wear and tear
finally got me, my face became
drawn and haggard and my dispo
sition seamed to urge people to
evade me. It was then that I be
gan to despise my own company. My
bookkeeper, who has been with mo
a loqg time, one day suggested that
II needed a rest and that my nerves
required attention. She told me thai
her father'had been in the state
of health which I was experiencing
and that he had taken Phosphated
Iron. 'Look at him now,' she said.
'He works ten hours a day and ap
pears to be the happiest man in the
world, which he believes he is, he
says.'
"All this happened less than a
month ago. I followed the advice
and look at me now. Back in the
harness with a smile all the while.
I am feeling more fit than ever.
When I see a tired looking face the
name of Phosphated Iron imme
diately comes in my mind. I am
convinced that it is converting many
a worn out body Into a life rich in
thought, ambition and enthusiasm."

Motorists Have No Regard
For Traffic "Safety" Sign
The sign at Front and Market is
having troubles of its own. It says
"Keep to the Right-," and motorists
must think the sight is right, for they
are continually running into it and
knocking it down, often breaking it.
Yesterday a motorist was fined for
knocking it over and breaking it, and
to-day C. H. Shultz, of York, was
given a hearing in police court on the
charge of running into it.
