Under the above heading the Detroit
Free Presn, among other things says:
“The theory is that soldiers whose feet
are in good condition can walk further
and faster than soldiers who have corns
and bunions incased in rawhide.”
The Plattsburg Camp Manual advises
men in training to shake Toot—Ease in
their shoes each morning.
One war relief committee reports, of all
the things sent out in their Comfort Bags
or “Kits,” Allen’s Foot. Kne received
the most praise from the soldiers and
men of the navy. It is used by American,
French and British troops because it
takes the Friction from the Shoe and
freshens the feet. There is no foot com
forter equal to Allen’s Foot--* Ease, the
antiseptic, healing powder to be shaken
into the shoes and sprinkled in the foot,
bath, the standard remedy for over 25
years for hot, tired, aching, perspiring,
smarting, swollen, tender feet, corns,
bunions, blisters or callouses.
Why not order a dozen or more 25c.

FOR THE AMERICAN
BOYS ON FURLOUGH
A Savoy Greeting to American
Soldiers and Instructions to
the Citizens of Towns Where
Americans Will Stay.
The following communication has
been handed to us by Major Ullern, of
the French Army, who is attached at
present as an instructor in Camp Han
cock. It is of interest to note that the
president of the committee whose name
name is signed to the letter, is a
brother of Major Ullern.

Boys on Furlough.
To the Inhabitants of Chambery and
Challes-Les-Eaux.
Dear Fellow-Citizens;
You have already learned of the ap
proaching arrival in our community
of the first contingent of American
soldiers on leave. Before long we
shall have with us in our homes, out
shops and our stores, in our meadows
and on our hillsides, these sons of an
ardent and generous people. For Sa
voy it is surely an honor and a privi
lege to be called upon to receive them.
In welcoming them we shall remember
the welcome they gave to the represen
tatives of France ( the Joffre-Vivienl

TRENCH AND CAMP
Mission, vhich visited the United
States in the spring of 1917). When
in a day or two we see them wander
ing through our street, with their trig,
: soft hats, a little homesick, a little
! shy. trying to adjust themselves
to their strange and novel surround
ings, seeking to orient themselves so to
speak, we shall not stare at them as
if they were a kind of curious and in
teresting novelty. We rhall see in them
the living representatives of that
splendid natio.i which has freely of
fered us the support of its moral powei
its wealth, ai-d its fighting men, be
cause it is convinced that the cause
'of the Allies Is the cause of right
eousness, justice and liberty.
We shall think of them, moreover, as
having come to us from far away in
order to share with our own poilus a
life endurance and to stand side by side
with them against the enemy, deter
mined to suffer, to die, and also to.
triuYnph.
Finally, we shall remember one fact
to which no French-woman can be In
different, It is that among boys, these
these husbands, these soldiers, there
are many who have forever said fore
well to their homes and firesides ana
to the land that gave them birth, fo*
their tomb wilt be somewhere yonder in
the soil of our beloved France which
they have come to defend and to de
liver.
These, thoughts need only be sug
gested to us in order’to excite in our
hearts a current of intense sympathy
for these our visitors; every selfish
consideration will be blotted out; no
one witl think for a moment of cal
culating whether their presence will
increase our discomforts in food and
lodgings; nor will any one dream ot
“profiteering” from their necessities.
Dominated by a single purpos that of
treating them .as guests and allies, we
shall be their warm-hearted guides and
protectors.
In these times of national suffering
and sorrow for our dead we do not
propose to you, fellow-citizens, to cel
ebrate the visit of these American
comrades on leave with bralliant fes
tivities or echoing cheers. What we
ask of.you is simply to make yout
selves known to these noble-hearted
allies by a word, a gesture, a helpfut
attention, an unselfish action. A
frank, friendly smile, even, will go
far toward expressing the gratitude of
Savoy and France.
Citizens of the Great American Repub
lic, Soldiers of Liberty:
As It has pleased you to come to us
for your seven days of leave which you
can not enjoy at home in your far-dis
tant and beloved country, believe us
when we tell you that we receive you
as comrades-in-arms and as if you
were our own sons. To you we open
our hearts and offer our hands. We
bid you welooine.
EMILE ULLERN.
President of the Committee.
