WRITES FINE LETTER
Naval Training Camp, U. S. N.
Norfolk, Va., August 6, 1917.
Dear home folks:
As all the boys say, “Am In the
navy now.'’ When they first see a boy
in civilian they inform you that he is
a recruit today and a regret tomorrow
The first thing they do when you ar
rive here, they give you a towel, soap,
suit of underwear and pair of socks,
and tell you to take a bath. The bath
rooms are just grand—shower baths
with hot and cold water. Next, they
give you a much more rigid examina
tion than you take when you first en
list, and if you are not up to the re
quirements, you are still in danger of
being discharged because of physical
disability. Then you are vaccinated
for small pox. For typhoid, we call it
taking a ‘‘shot.” We will have to take
three shots But you have to wait un
til you get in a company to be shot
for typhoid.
After being vaccinated you get your
allowance, which includes three suits
of white, three suits of (Tress blue,
two suits of dungarees, two suits of
underwear, four pairs of socks, two
pairs of shoes, three white hats, one
blue hat, mattress and cover, ham
mock for using on board ship, clothes
bag, two large Turkish towels, enough
soap to last six months, comb ami two
military brushes, whist broom, two
large blankets, which you are charg
ed thirteen dollars and fifty cents for,
and buttons, needles aud thread for
mending all your clothes, in fact, you
get everything you need and then
some. After I got my allowance, Was
assigned to a company and given a
tent to live in.
There are eight of us in our tent.
Each man has a cot, and they are all
right together. All of our company are
In tents in rows and these rows of
tents are called streets. There are 125
men to a company. We are now in the
detention camp. Every new man has
to come here and stay three weeks.
The reason they isolate the new men
from the old is to keep them from
bringing in contagious diseases, and
here the men are tested. When a man
leaves here the officers have a fairly
good idea of him, and it goes on his
record. From the first day a man joins,
a lecord is kept of him. If it’s good it
goes on, and had just the same. A
man in our company was caught shoot
ing craps. He had to go to jail for two
days, was tried and fined $24.50. Will
speak later of the discipline. When
ever 125 new men of the same rating
come in they form a company. Then
they begin drilling. Wish you could
see us drill- it's fine. We drill about
three hours in the morning and the
same for the afternoon.
We had a moving picture last night.
Had it in the open. There were 1,000 or
more of us; everybody was merry, and
you can imagine how much we enjoyed
the picture. The machine is owned by
the station, and operated by Jackies.
We have one or two pictures a week.
This morning we marched (by we, 1
mean our company) over to the chapel
and the chaplain gave us a talk. He
was fine, and said for any of the boys
to come and talk with him anytime.
Also, said their mothers could write to
him, and he would answer immediately
and tell them all he knew about their
keys. If you care to write him, just
address your letter to Chaplain of
Navy, Norfolk, Va., and any time yCU
-wish to hear from me, you can find
out where I am by writing to Captain
Dayton, commander of naval station,
Norfolk, Va. But you needn’t worry,
for I'm going to write, and don’t be
lieve I am going to be sick. If I should
don’t worry about that, for we have
a large hospital which affords as fine
medical attention as there is in the
U. S. A.
Now let me inform you, I am some
washerwoman. Have to wash almost
every* day. They furnish us with laun
dry soap and Scrub brushevs. We have
wooden benches with hydrant. About
fifteen feet overhead are ropes on
which we hang our clothes. The
clothes all bleach out white and no
ironing if yon please. Every man’s
clothes are inspected when taken
away from the line. The name on the
clothes you take must correspond
with name on clothes which you have
on. They have four men to watch the
clothes all the time, each guard watch
ing only a few hours at a time. I was
on from 8 to 10 p. m. Thursday. A
thief is shown no mercy here. He is
dishonorably discharged from t T . S. N.,
sentenced to serve from one to three
years in U. S. penitentiary; and for
the rest of his life bears the disgrace
of being a navy outcast and thief.
About discipline: It’s the biggest
thing here. It is what holds the navy
together and makes it so powerful.
Every man has a superior and is duty
bound to obey his orders. The officers
are all great, and treat us far better
than you would expect. Our day starts
at 5 a. m. The bugle wakes us every
morning. Every man most get up at
t Dce his led and bag ready for
traveling: in general, must make his
toilet, do all of his house cleaning and
be ready for mess at 6 o’clock. The
dining room is railed “mess hair and
each meal is called mess. There are
six messes each day, namely: at five
and six, and eleven and twelve a. m„
and at five and six p. m.-We eat at
second mess, ie, at six and twelve a.
m„ and six p. m. At seven o’colck a.
n\ the bugle sounds the sick call. Ev
en man is privileged to go to doctor
and get attention and medicine free
At seven-thirty a. m. the muster call
is sounded. Each company must line
up in front of their homes and answer
to the roll call. From the roll call we
go to the drill ground. From six hun
dred to one thousand of us drill on
about one and a half acres of ground,
each company having a separate com
mander.
“Colors" are sounded at seven a. m.
and seven p. m. The bands on the
ships and all of those in the station
play “colors,” and at these hours the
flag is raised and lowered respectively.
Every man must stand at attention
and salute no matter where he is oi
what he is doing. Except, we are not
allowed to salute if we are in the
ranks drilling, but must stand at at
tention aud the commanding officer
only, salutes.
You would be surprised at the aver
age of the men here. It is a mistaken
idea that the navy is composed of the
scum of human kind. Taken on an av
erage, don't believe there is a finer
body of men in the world. They are
forced to be moral and temperate, and
the standards are far above the aver
age of our nation. Any man who will
rot live up to the standards is kicked
out. The health conditions are “un
beatable.” We have pure water, good
eating and just enough physical exer
cise to keep us tough and strong. Will
not say any more about the bright side
now. Except this, those who have join
ed lately, can get a discharge after the
war.
Please do not worry about me, for
I'm having a big time and am feeling
better than I ever did before in my
life. _ C. G.

Cents to Remove Tan, Freck

Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will sup
ply you with three ounces of orchard
white for a few cents. Squeeze the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tle, then put in the orchard white and
shake well. This makes a quarter pint
of the very best lemon skin whitener
and complexion beautifier known. Mas
sage this fragrant, creamy lotion daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands
and just see how freckles, tan, sal
lowness, redness and roughness dis
appear and how smooth, soft and clear
the skin becomes. Yes! It is harmless,
end the beautiful results will surprise
you.—(advt.)

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
-I SiiZ? ——
Starts Your Liver Without Making
You Sick and Can Not Salivate.
Every druggist in town—youf
druggist and everybody’s druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is
taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re
sults,’’ said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs 50
cents, and if it fails to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant
lasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine, no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti
pated bowels. It doesn’t gripe or
cause inconvenience all the next day
like violent calomel. Take a dose of
calomel today and tomorrow you
feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead and feel
fine, fyll of vigor and ambition.
