Tho war tax has Indue. d a new ele
ment in the art of writing advertise
ments. Whoever gets up the matter
for a" soap, for example, must steer a
very nlco course and not claim too much
or his boss may have to pay a tax. To
say that a soap will clear tho skin of
dirt is safe, because such a soap does
not require a stamp; but when you tell
the public that your soap will improve
the complexion and give health to tho
skin, then you are taxed. So with
baking powder. It is all right to ad
vertise it as the best on earth and back
statements up with chemical analysis,
but the slightest claim to medicinal
quality means a stamp.
"That existing methods of educating
the young fall short of tho 'Ideal there
is scarcely any question," writes Kd
ward 13ok in the Soptomber ' Ladles'
Home Journal. "Tho roost prominent
educators of tho land admit this fact.
Every effort is undoubtedly made to
bettor prevailing systems. But tho
fight Is singlo-hundod. As teachers
and educators say: 'We are alone;
parents give us no assistance. They do
not even give us the benefit of ordinary
interest.' And this Is true lamentably
true. Parents are all too lax about the
methods pursued in educating their
children. In hundreds of cases they
do not even know what the method?
are. Tbcy know nothing about them.
There is no co-oporatton of tho parent
with tho teacher. However much we
may be able to improve methods of edu
cation, the best results to our ohlldren
cannot be reached until parent and
teacher shall come Into closer relations
than they are at present."
S. M. Jack, Esq., of Indiana, was
nominated for Congress at the Repub
lican conference of the twenty-first
district at Indiana on Wednesday of
last week. Ed. C. Nlver, editor of the
Brockwayvllle iidwd, was one of Hon.
W. O. Smith's oonfereos, and from the
Record we clip the following concerning
the conference: ."The nomination of S.
M. Jack, Esq., of Indiana, by tho Re
publican conference of the twenty-first
congressional district, was a happy
termination of a condition which so
frequently demoralizes state politics,
especially when one party has a major
ity which makes a nomination equiva
lent, to an election. This conference
was in actual session less than three
days, and accomplished its purpose
without the customary wrangling,
cVlmlnatlous and recriminations which
Save marked the conferences of the
ast. In addition to making a satisfac
tory nomination all who attended agreed
that the conference was one of the most
Harmonious, agreeable and upright
bodies of the kind which ever assem
bled in the district. The speedy result
of this conference was largely due to
Hon. W. O. Smith, Jefferson county's
candidate. Mr. Smith , made a vig
orous and honorable effort to secure
the district nomination, but when ho
saw that further effort would only re
sult in a deadlock, be gracefully gave
way and threw his support to the can
dldate who would be most acceptable
to the people of bis dlstrlot. Mr,
' Jack, of Indiana county, is a man of
character and ability, who, if elected,
will represent the district fairly and
with credit. Mr. Smith's action re
. pudlates the charges made against bill
that bo was set up in the Interests of E.
E. Robblos, our present representative,
He has again demonstrated that be Is
not controlled by any man or set of
- men, but bases bis action upon his own
conscientious judgment. When bis
, turn comes to represent the dlstrlot in
r -e he will do so with credit and

Mlimi.KTOWN, l'A., Aug. ."Id, 1SIIS.
To thu people nnd parents of boys
from Jefferson county, In the lilth l'.V.i
It behooves mo to-day to say a few
words concerning our beys now at Clamp
Monde, from the Western part of Point-
ylvnnia, the tilth boys. 1, as well as
the rest, have been telling no tales out
of our camp, but It has gone so far
that It in time some one should say
something about our life and tho
usage wo get. Now, never have I dis
couraged any body's friends nt home.
always praised good grub and will yet,
ton certain extent, but. it could be a
great deal better, especially when wo
are In tho United States.
Sunday, the 2Mb. we had an excellent
dinner, but It look to me as if it was
caused by tho visitors Unit were in
camp. Slneo wo hear that our chances
are good for l'orlo Hleo, what will wo
do when wo get there anil want for food
with no civill'ed people to look to there
for aid? Our officers v. III publish that
we ure all anxious to go to foreign Iniuls
to do garrison work. . Is It .garrison
work, or Is It good, hard labor without
food to labor on? I will say that in
either the lllth or ISth, 1. V. I., there
are not more than line hundred men
who want to go for garrison duly. We
are all hero together and not one-half
mile away lies a regiment of colored
roups, the Uth Ohio, that would suit
for that kind of work. We, tho lllth,
with all the rest of tho boys in Middle-
own, Camp Meuilc, enlisted with tho
Intention of going to war, not to starve,
and there are no more willing men in
the United States to get In a scrap, and
If culled on for that purpose we are all
ready for duty, to defend our country
and people at tho risk of our lives. Wo
came and shouldered a rlflo to protect
our country, nnd how are we used?
Why, never was there such a fain I no
for bread over heard of before. In
Camp Thomas, which we left just a few
weeks ago, It Is reported that many
deaths are occurring, and I actually be
lieve that hunger is tho foundation of It
all. May Clod bless tho day when we
wore taken away from that plaee. All
the sIcKncss wo have had was contract
ed there. We lost ono comrado of our
company, Hrueo Tweed, of Hellwood,
who died in Fortress Monroe hospital.
Several men are there yet and we ear
nestly hope they will soon return to
our ranks, well.
We wore brought here that we might
have a healthier place to camp and get
pure water. If we want water, wo are
compelled to get a pass and go one mile
for it and If we wish to bathe, we go no
less than a mllo and then a lieutenant
goes along to see that we don't wash too
clean. Tho water closest camp has
boon condemned and we dare not look
at that stream.
Our officers are sitting or lounging In
their tents on couches, sleeping, drink
ing beer and getting food that Is good
enough for tho Duke of Ireland and
saying thut we want to go to Porto
Rico. Of course they do and want the
people to think that we do, but we do
not. They get from 1100 to 9173 per
month and we get from $13 to I2. and
work like slaves.
Yesterday we got coffee as black as it
could be, meat that was O. K., beans
that were burned, and hard tack In
whloh I saw worms three-quarters of an
Inch long. We got no better this morn
ing, except pease instead of beans with
a piece of bread the size of your hand,
and the same for dinner. If I am not
wrongly Informed, we are allowed forty
two cents per day for food. We got the
two cents' worth and the forty goos
some whore else. Who gets It? The
man who does is not one-half as honora
ble as the man who manipulated the
button that destroyed the Maine and
its heroes. Some one Is coining money,
while many are starving.
We have no privilege to kick, as the
man who docs gets the worst of the
deal from those who would like to but
lack the courage.
A few days ago some one In the bat
talion tried to circulate a paper for the
signatures of those who wanted to go
home and those who wanted to go to
Porto Rico. It raised quite an excite
ment in camp and the next evonlng
Colonol Rlckards called us all to his
quarters and told us that he did not
want any such thing to occur in the 3rd
battalion of the Sixteenth again and all
men who bad lost their tall feathers,
could oorao to him and get their dls
charge honorably, if in his power to do
so. The boys all took it to mean that
If they should ask for their discbarge,
it would be a dlsgace, but it would not
be, for we all left better paying jobs
than iruard dutv. at home.
. We have all been vaccinated and most
of us have very sore arms and yet have
to work. s
Hereafter, if a call to arms should bo
made, I, for ono, and three-quarters of
those in servloe, would have to be draft
ed before going,
The wormy hard tack we received
was forbidden to be issued, but it was,
just the same. Our clothes are the
"buramlest" in the field.
1 1 could toll you much more but J
haven't time. We wanted to be sol
dlers, not tin soldiers, as we now are,
and should we go to Porto Rloo for
garrison duty, It would be worse.
Yours truly,

Letter Prom Camp Meade.
MlDDLKTOWN, l'A., Sept. 4, 1NHS.
Editor Star: I received your valu
able paper and It Is a welcome visitor
n camp, for tho boys from there all
gather around my tent to get the latest
from home.
I have Just returned from tho lied
,'ross hospital, where I, with six other
men from our company, were detailed
to do guard duty. We were there
twenty-four hours and It was by no
meuns a pleasant place to guard, for
there are .'12 of the worst eases of ty
phoid fever and while we were there
you could hear the patlunts groanlug
and howling almost continually. The
Red Cross Is run Independent of tho
government and has sixteen ludy nursito
and tho patients get tho very best of
cure, while at tho division hospital it
is different: they have men nurses and
tho hospital is always crowded, which
makes It Impossible for them to get
noper treatment. On Friday night
they shipped about 2WI patients to dlf-
erent hospitals in the cities where they
an be better taken care of.
It has been reported that there was
to be an excursion run from I'unxsii
tuwney to Camp Mcado and the boys
are on tho lookout for it, hut it looks to
me as if they would bo disappointed.
Dr. lloyles, of Dulluls. Is in enmp mak
ing his son, Lieut. Hoylos, a visit.
On Friday evening wo signed tho pay
oil and now wo arc all waiting patient
ly for our pay day, which I think will
bo on Tuesday, tho llth.
It now looks as if wo would bo out nil
winter, as they nro tnklng orders to
ssue the Imij-s their winter clothes.
There Is still talk of us going to I'orto
Itleo, but nobody seems to know what
they ure going to do with us.
Several boys of our company have
secured furloughs and gono home for
thirty days. Respt. Yours,
W. D. Williams.
