HISS McCANDLESS WRITES OF
RED CROSS WORK IN FRANCE
The following letter from Miss May
McCandless, a former Jackson girl,
now with the Red Cross in France,
will be read with more than ordinary
interest:
My Dear Mother: —
The sweaters, the candy and your
letter have all arrived. The sweaters
are simply wonderful, and I have giv
en some of them to boys who were so
badly wounded that their clothes had
to be destroyed. Two of them had
names on them, one was Mrs. Born
or Brown. Tell her her’s went to a
flying boy who had sustained very
serious injuries in a night ride. He
.is most grateful and asks you to thank
her for him. Mrs. Callihan’s went to
my particular pet, “CHICHI,” who
had about 17 wounds from a hand
grenade. He thinks it is wonderful,
and it is a great comfort to him as he
is not able to sit up and the wards
are none too warm. Those knit by
Mother Mcßae especially pleased
them and they promised to write and
thank her. I gave one of hers to
Sandbrook, who Is up now after hav
ing been flat on his back for weeks
and weeks. He is vjearing a cast and
an iron brace, but he should worry.
These are the only ones in the hospi
tal that I know now, for we evacuate
so often.that all those I knew on
Ward R have gone; and in the
operating room one does not get to
know them. So I go over almost ev
ery day to see these . On Easter I
made up pretty packages of Miss
Pritchett’s candy and gave one to
each of those who had been in a long
time with h'er greetings. They
thought they had neve tasted such
good fudge. Some of them said it was
their first piece iSince they left Ameri
ca. They are so apprciative. The oth
er swaters I am going to give to the
last convoy who were gassed, for they
lost all their clothes, so they Will come
in very handy a sthey will need them
all summer for the summers are cold
except at midday. The boys who
were gassed are fighting mad and
they are just living to get back home
as they call the trenches. Their mor
ale is and their spirits high.
Things are getting pretty well organ
ized now and the government is tak
ing very good care of them, and

druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate. •
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straight
ens you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children as well.
things look well. They are wild to
get into the offensive that is now on,
and it looks as if they would get thier
wish, bless their hearts. I hate to see
them go in but we have got to finish
this piece of work, and we vaunt
men, men and more men. It is a
great time to be here, and I am thank
ul that I can be just one little part
of the whole big machine. And don’t
forget that we all appreciate (the
boys, too,) the fact that you are do
ing without sugar, bread, coal, and all
those things for us. We need them
and we must have them, and we want
to prove that we are worth your sac
rifices.
I want you to tell the mothers
about the place their boys will have
their vacation. Our operating room
orderly has just come back from there
so I have it first hand. First of all, it
is on a beautiful lake very near the
Swiss border. It vans once a most
lovely watering place, so, of course,
it is full of lovely hotels. Those ho
tels have been taken over by the U.
S. A. and put at the disposal of the
boys. They have a theatre where
plays in English are given. Every
night a different one. There are Amer
ican society women down there to
look after amusement and entertain
them. Mrs. Roosevelt is one of them
and Carter says, “My but she is a
queen.” When they want to go out
on an excursion into the mountains
for the day, the hotel packs their
lunch in a basket and sends them on
their way rejoicing. Their time is so
filled with rides, walks, theatres and
various amusements that they have
no time for drinking or other evils. To
quote Carter again he said, “Miss Mc-
Candless, we saw in the papers once
where President Wilson said nothing
was too good for the American sol
diers,” but, he said, “I never did be
lieve it until I got to and
then something else I vuant to tell you
and that is there was plenty of wine
and cognac down there if we had
wanted to buy it, but I never saw one
boy drunk or drinking. We were
ashamed to do it, and we just thought
what a waste of time it would be when
there was so much else to do.” None
of this costs them a penny. They
have their transportation given them,
At a bargain will sell seven-room
house and store room, with one acre
of land, at railroad crossing, known
as J. H. Land’s crossing. Good lo
cation for suburban store. You had

and their hotel is paid for. Our Red
Cross “hut” is quite nicely fixed up
now (the one for the boys), has a
stage and stage scenery mar
velous, red roses, valleys, winding
rivers, etc.
Last night one of the Y. M. C. A.
men spoke in the “hut” of his six
weeks at the front with our boys, and
here are some of his stories. He was
told by one of the men that his
brother, a kid of 19, was down with
the and there was about ten
more of them, all youngsters, they had
been there 7 days (an isolated posi
tion) and had run out of smokes,
chewing gum and candy, and said
there was not a damned cent in the
crowd. So he made up his mind he
would try and get to them. So he
i fills a pack with stuff and after many
mishaps reaches them, the first aid
he saw he told him what he had, and
they got to talking and my Y. M. C.
A. friend said, “Say, how old are
you?” The youngster looked at him
a minute suspiciously and said: “I
am not the kid of this crowd by a
hell of a lot.” So, off he goes to get
the other boys, and brings back one
and shoved him up and said, “There
is the kid of the lot. He was 18 just
' last week and I was 18 way back in
November.” My friend said: “When
| are you boys coming out of this?”
'They answered:“We are supposed to
| be here a week, and we haven’t fired
a shot, so when the Col. came down to
take us out we told him to give us
another week, and if we haven’t got
anything by that time, I’ll be damned
if he won’t have to give us 21 days,”
and that is just how they feel. And
another was of one of our sergeants
who defended a pass with hand gren
ades when for some reason he could
no longer use his heavy gun. He was
not a grenade thrower and broke the
caps with his fingers, and, though his
hands were almost killing him, held
the enemy back until assistance
came, thereby saving a valuable po
sition, and many men. He got CROIX
DE GEURRE, and on being congratu
lated, said: “Oh, any damned man in
the bunch would have done it.” They
simply can’t talk without DAMN.
Another time a scouting party was
surprised and when they got in found
seven boys missing. Quick as a flash
without wating for anybody or any
thing the sergeant said, “My God,
they have got seven of our boys!
Come on!” Over they went, and when
they came back they had their boys
LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHILE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion
For a Few Cents and See
For Yourself
What girl or woman hasn’t heard
of lemon juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to whiten the skin and
to bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irritat
ing, and should be mixed with or
chard white this way. Strain through
a fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well and then you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and com
plexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small jar of ordi
nary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice sso no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will re
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoothen and beauti
fy the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons,

Stomach Trouble
Mrs. Sophie Bauer, 521 First Ave.,
North. Faribault, Minnesota, writes:
“I cannot praise your wonderful
medicine, Peruna, enough, ,t has
done much for me during the past
ten years and I keep it in the house
continually. I was in such a condi
tion that I could eat nothing but
bread and milk, and even that was too
heavy for me at times. Now, I can
eat anything. I will recommend Pe
runa to all my friends.”

cines can procure Peruna Tablets*
and three Germans. When he report
ed to his commanding officer he had
to reprimand him for going over with
out orders, but the French officer
gave him a decoration. Then there
was another whom a German sniper
used to worry nearly to death, and he
made up his mind he was going to fix
him, and fix him he did, and just did
not think anything about it, though
it necessitated a trip into No Man’s
Land in broad daylight and so on ad
infinitum. Someone who has been
with them said if medals were given
for all the acts of bravery they would
have to have a vessel to haul them
home.
Your letter has just come, telling
of Samuel Barnett’s death. Isn’t it
terrible. I am going to write to Miss
Mamie tonight. Will you please find
out what regiment Joel and George
'Tallet and the other Barnett boys are
in. So that if their regiments are
nearby at any time I can get hold of
them. We generally know all of those
who are within 5 or 10 miles of us.
That is the regiments. I think about
you lots and feel often as if I ought
to be home; and yet we are all needed
here, and we will be needed more. I
continue to feel wonderfully well, and
only want to be busy all the time.
The nurses who went up to the front
three days ago have not unpacked
their blanket rolls yet. And here this
lovely country side is so peaceful and
so pretty; with the hawthome hedges
all white, the primroses, cowslips and
hyacinths all carpeting the valley and
the hills. It does not seem possible
that all that carnage is so near. Keep
all my soldier letters for me. I am
sending them because I know you
would like them, and I value each one
of them.
Lots of love, and I hope you are
both well.
Devotedly,
MAY.
