Sergeant J. A. Cassel
< Tells of Experiences
After the Armistice
V letter has t>een received fropi
Sc Jonas A. Cassel, in which
he states that he is located in an old
French fort at Langres, France.
Sergeant Cassel tells of some of his
experiences before the signing of the
•armistice and afterwards. The let
ter, which is addressed to his father,
H. B. Ulrich, 1270 State street, fol
lows :
"Thought I would drop you a few
lines to let you know 1 am well, as
usual. There is not much news to
tell, except that I am now attending
an infantry specialist school at
X<angres, and this is some place—an
old French fort on the tip of a
mountain. It snows here quite often
and Is very cold.
"I have been on the linos in every
drive our division was in. and at
times my platoon was pretty well
shot up, although we gave a. good
account of ourselves and made the
Huns run quite often. I was very
lucky myself, getting through tills
big game without a scratch, except
a little gas a few times, but never
went to a hospital. The day the

ARE You LOSING YOUR GRIP
Your Blood May Be Starving for Want of

strength, energy noil endurance delicate, run-down people In two
weeks' time in many instanees.
Thousands of men and women are impairing their constitutions,
laving themselves open to illness and literally losing their grip on
health, simply because their blood is thinning out and possibly starv
ing through lack of iron.
Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Bellevue Hos
pital Outdoor Dept. , New York, and the Westchester County Hos
pital. says: "Lack of iron in the blood not only makes a man a
phvsical'and mental weakling, nervous, irritable, easily fatigued, but
it utterly robs him of that virile force, that stamina and strength of
will which are so necessary to success and power in every walk of
life. It may also transform a beautiful, sweet-tempered woman in
to one who is cross, nervous and irritable. To help make strong,
keen, red-blooded Americans there is nothing in- my experience
whhh I have found so valuable as organic iron—Nuxated Iron. It
often increases the st'cngth and endurance of weak, nervous, run
down people in two weeks' time. ' Nuxated Iron is now being used
bv over three million people annually, h.cluding such men as Hon.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
armistice was signed I had my squad
on the lines, and a few minutes after
11 o'clock my whole bunch went over
to see the Germans and exchanged
relics, and they sure did seem happy
over the war ending, and they said
the Yanks sure were some scrap
pers.
"My platoon had a big loss at
Fismes on August 7, when we put a
one-pound barrage over for thirty
eight minutes. Just four minutes too
long. nid they got our range. I lost
my gunner, loader and driver and
hpd three men wounded and four men
gassed, and there were only two of
us loft, and X consider myself lucky
in being one of the two. One in
stance. our crew spotted a dugout
with ten Germans in it. and we got
every one of them, as they were
afraid to come out. and that was
what wt wanted. After we had their
•range, we dropped shells in their
dugout as pretty as could be.
"I have seen some awful sights
over here, men killed just a few feet
away from me and some of the shells
make holes big enough to bury
horses in, and plenty of these shells
came our way. I have also seen a
few good air fights, which sure were
great. Well. I will close for this
time.'and when I get back to those 1
good old States again 1 will be able |
to tell you mote. Give my best to
all. Hoping these few lines will in- j
terest you, I remain.

were announced: Russell Fields.

Two Important Kcscrvals—Two
Important lower court opinions re
lating to the Dairy and Food Divi
sion have been over-turned by the
Supreme Court. One, an Allegheny
county case tried before Judge Car
penter, permits the Dairy and Food
Division to seize all products held in
cold storage beyond the legal limit.
This was a suit brought by Edward
S. Nolan, of Allegheny,~agalnst Com
missioner James Foust and his
agents to restrain them front seizing
butter held beyond the limit pre
scribed by law, claimtng confisca
tion of property. Judge Carpenter
took sides with Nolan, but thp
Superior Court held the law to be
constitutional and the state acting
within its rights in seizing the but
ter and the Supreme Court upholds
the Superior Court. The other de
cision rules out of Pennsylvania all
canning compounds in which there Is
boric acid. Judge Bailey of Bed
ford county gave It as his opinion
that Mrs. Price's Canning Compound
mgiht be sold legally in t^ l ' 3 state
and the Superior Court upset that
decision. The Supreme Court up
-1 holds the Superior court in the re
versal of Judge Bailey.
Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair
I
Soap should be used very carefully, ;
if you want to keep your hair look
ing Its best. Most soaps and pre
pared 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 mulsifled 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 the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. ft makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and It leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy' to munage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.
