"I was practically all shot to pieces and run down from 165 to 115 1 pounds. 1 suffered from stomach! trouble, gastritis, flatuency and in-,' digestion. There was a great lot of pain and gas with it all. It was! awful discouraging. I heard about i Tanlac and went to a man I heard i had used it and he urged me to use it. L p to then I had began to lose heart. Since I used Tanlac the gas has stopped forming and in just a few weeks I've gotten so on my feet having gained up to 122 pounds' that I feci like a different person.' So much so that my wife remarked at my changed appearance for the better. Tanlac is some flesh-maker and a bully appetizer. A person is just bound to gain weight eating like I do.

November 22, where Iwe stayed t : ll the morning of De i comber 1. That day we crossed the j river separating that part of Lux j emburg from Germany and entered | the latter country and we have been i here ever since. * • • | It's getting harder every day to i stick it out. though, and we are all j longing for the time when we will ! get orders to pack up and leave for ! home. From the looks of the papers i most,of the boys will he back in the | States by June or July. I think" j There is no tolling how long we marines wiM be here, though. "This place is on the right bank of the Rhine and has a population of I, TOO in normal times. There are two churches, numerous narrow al leys and only one street that will bear that title. That one. called Haputstrasse, is the main road along this side of the river bank. "The houses, without exception, are built of stone, some of them with cement facing. Manv of them are over 100 years old. "You couldn't pay me to live over here. No doubt it is a beautiful place in summer and fall, but there is no place like God's country. "My desire to travel in Europe is ended. Whatever traveling I do in the future will be confined to the U. S.. you bet! "There is a chain of hills on both sides of the river here and on our side, which is the sunny side, are I some of the famous terrace vine yards of the Rhine. The people here terraced both sides of the hills and planted their vines on them, in stead of having arbors as we have, I they run a straight pole in the" j ground which (the pole) is about I eight feet high and train the vine up the pole. "The ground the vines are planted j in is covered with a shale rock. ! which seems to be the foundation of j i the hills ,to keep the earth from j | being washed away by the rains of j I which they have 'beau coup.' Each j winter these terraces are covered i with a thick layer of manure as is 'the farming land also. "They have been using this land i ; so long it is worn out and would be i i worthless for crops unless tha is ! done. "There are six big river excur- i I sion steamers on the river, being used for the boys in the Army of j Occupation for trips up and down i the stream. "Men are on each to explain the | points of interest and what they are famous for. Every so often a certain I number of men from each command I are allowed to take in one of these ! trips. "A few weeks ago I met a young j fellow- in the playhouse here and | he told me he was from German town. Upon introducing ourselves I found that by questioning him he ! is a nephew- of that old tinier, Mat thew Stanley Quay, and further, that he goes to the church Mr. De- Yoe is in charge of and knows him personally. j "We had quite a chat and I told hint i had been a liarrisburger at I one time and also knew Mr. DeYoe I before he went to Philadelphia. "We are having a lot of wet weather now and our parade grounds are very muddy. So be- I tween the two we have a'lot of wet j feet in spite of all we can do."
