AMERICUS BOY LIKES
LIFE ON MAN-’O-WAR
v
Owing to the large number of Amer
icus young men now serving in the
navy, people here are unusually in
terested in that department of the gov
ernment, and a letter written by Will
Ray Butt to his mother here will be
widely read in this section. 'The let
ters says, in part:
U. S. S. Nevada, Feb. 2,fi 1918.
Dear Mother: Well I am here, and
believe me, I’m glad of it. This sure
is some swell boat—one of the latest
types. It is an oil burner, and there
is no coaling ship. You can't imagine
what an up-to-date man of war is un
til you go aboard one. Everything in
side is snow white—not painted and
then left to get. dirty from hands, etc.,
but is kept as white as the day it was
painted. I wish you could go through
this ship and see what a battleship
really is. It's a wonder.
The navy of today is composed of
the finest bunch of young men ever
gotten together. A boy may be a
“crum” when he enlists,, but you
should see the change in a few
months. Os course, the navy is not a
place where you sit around ah day
and eat and draw your money each
month. There is work to be done, so
as to keep a man-o’war” going, but
the officers know that you are human,
snd they treat you so.
You may be surprised if 1 tell you
that the deck (or floor, as you would
call it.) of » battleship is as clean as
the table you eat on. but it s true.
After the deck of the ship is cleaned
you could rub white kid gloves across
it and not stain the gloves.
“I am well pleased with life on
board ship, and it’s as good a life as
any young man can live, I would like
to tell you more of navy life, but it
would take several books to tell a11...
I would like to tell you where I am
and other things, but remember this
will be read by censor before you
read it. s
Today is Saturday, and Saturday
afternoon and Sundays are holidays,
so there is nothing to do until Mon
day, but there is plenty of entertain
ment, such as band concerts, wrestl
ing contests and liberty parties, which
go ashore. There is much interest
taken in athletics. There are smok
eis given where there are vaudeville
acts, given by the boys on the ship,
boxing, wrestling, etc. There are also
movies almost every night, and all is
freer
Wih love, WILL RAY.
TRY CHENH’S
EXPECTORANT
For Toir sough or Cold or If Wet
and Ch>lly, or You Have Asth
ma or Creep.
You may have a dreadful cold so
your lungs feel sore, and it hunt
▼-hen you breathe, or you may have
only a simple cough, or severe cold,
asthma, croup, whooping cough. In
either case get a 25c bottle of Cheney’s
Expectorant from any drug store. Di
rectly after taking a few doses of
Cheney’s Expectorant your cough will
get better, and a few bottles have
cured the worst colds and coughs,
asthma, croup or whooping cough.—

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
AMERICAN PRISONERS
ARE STILL “UNAFRAID”
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. —A diet of halt
a pound of bread and two plates of
weak soup d\dy, ceaseless toil and
in n discipline have left more, than IW
American soldiers and sailors captur
ed by the Germans unbroken in spirit
and unafraid. They "do not know
what the word ‘complain’ means.” »
This message from the prisoners of
war was made public by E. G. )) H
son. associate secretary in charge of
the Y. M. C. A.’s prisoner-of-war
Work in northern Europe, who re
cently returned from Denmark bring
ing letters from imprisoned Ameri
cans. The letters told of a tight
against discouragement amid the drab
prison environments, and of anxious
thoughts for those at home of whom
no news could be obtained. One writer
ended with a pathetic plea that sup
plies be forwarded; prijson fare so
weakened the men, he said, that they
were unable to perform the work re
quired by their keepers.
Most of these men were captured
by submarines. Some have been held
since the outbreak of the war. To
these and fellow prisoners from the
armies of the Allies, the Y. M. C. A.
has shipped $15,000 worth of food and
clothing, according to Mr. Wilson’s re
port.

A NERVOUS WRECK
From Three Years’ Suffering. Says
Cardui Made Her Well.
Texas City, Tex.—ln an interesting
statement, Mrs. G. H. Schill, of this town,
says: “For three years I suffered untold
agony with my head. I was unable to
do any of my work.
I just wanted to sleep all the time, for
that was the only ease I could get, when
I was asleep. I became a nervous wreck
just from the awful suffering with my
head.
I was so nervous that the least noise
would make me jump out of my bed. 1
had no energy, and was unable to do
anything. My son, a young boy, had to
do all my household duties.
I was not able to do anything until I
took Cardui. 1 took three bottles in all,
and it surely cured me of those awful
headaches. That has been three years
ago, and I know the cure is permanent,
for I have never had any headache since
taking Cardui. ..
Nothing relieved me until I took Cardui.
It did wonders for me.”
Try Cardui for your troubles—made
from medicinal ingredients recommended
in medical books as being of benefit in
female troubles, and 40 years of use has
proven that the books arc right. Begin
taking Cardui today. NC-134
