in between the teeth decay and then are
swallowed and the system has to elimi
nate or throw off the poisonous matter
Nature will do ’hat for a time but sooner
or later she will break down under the
strain of unnecessary over work just as
"thd last straw breaks the camel’s back "
and then your body will be weakened to
such a degree that you are not in eondi
tion to ward oft’ disease or to do your
best jn this critical world war.
Clean your teeth at least three times
a day using a tooth brush and a good
tooth-paste or powder and do not brush
crosswise for in so doing you brush any
‘'dirt” that may be on the surface of the
t< B ?th into the cracks or spaces between
ihe teeth, just as a person sweeping a
floor across the cracks sweeps dirt into
Hie cracks as they sweep across them.
Do not brush ’the teeth up and down
for then you brush '’dirt” up under the
gum and it rots them. The right and
an’.y way a tooth brush should be used
is as follows: Brush alwavs from the
gum toward the biting of the tooth,
start.pg high on the gunm and on the
upper jaw. brush with single stroke
downward inside and, out On the lower
jaw start in on the eum and brush
upward inside and out in the same man
ner If you will try this method awß
ward as it seems at first the future con
dition of your teeth and gums will mbre
than repay you for the time and care
you give them now.
To the men who have just recently ar
riX’ed in camp we want to say that we are
here for your good and any time that you
have questions or want advice about
your teeth come freely, knowing that it
is our pleasant duty to serve and' help
you.

'| ENGLISH CLASSES
CONDUCTED FOR
ALIEN SOLDIERS
(Continued from page one'J
this: There wers thousands of men
who. by a course in English cOuld be
made into first, class fighting men. and
it was up to the armv to do this.
In common • ith other camps. Camp
Hancock received a large contingent
of these foreign-speaking men and
they have been placed in development
battalions, to receive the necessary
instruction in English. At the j-.res
ent time there is one school contain
ing about 145 of these men. divided
into ten classes, the classes being held
in the infirmary building and also in
Y Hut 75.
The personnel of the school shcrs
the following nationalities represent
i ed: Italian, Jewish, Russian. Greek,
Syrian and Roumanian and to see
them at work each day in their class
rooms is to realize the truth of the
| statement, that. “America is the melt - |
mg pot of the world.” The men realize
their deficiency in English and are
I eager to learn, knowing that when |
I they do learn, they will be given the I
chance for which they are preparing. '
that of 'going across” and doing their
bit tor their adopted country-
The ultimate goal of the instructors i
is of course to make efficient soldiers i
out of them, hut in the process of so 1
doing, it is necessary to show them
why they are being made into soldiers,
why the Allied cause is a just one. and
| why this countr y has entered the
I struggle The foreigner’s apathy to
this war in a large majority of cases
i is not.because he is unwilling to fight,
but because he does not know what he
is fighting for. Give him a reason to
fight and let. him know why we are
at war and he. becomes eager to enter
the fray.
This is what the school is endeavor
ing to do, and to the more advanced of
the men is given fundamentals of cit
izenship. American history, military
I requirements such as general orders,
salutes, and the various military court
esies which they will have to use. They
are also taught to write as well as
| read and talk English and by the time
j they finish with their course of in
| st ruction it is the hope of the instruct
ors that they will be able to turn
over to Uncle Sam a body of men who
will in every respect justify the name

Social Tea to Non Coms of Co. A.
Miss Lucille Martin, the beautiful
and accomplished sister of Cook Ira
Martin, entertalne". at a patriotic tea
in honor of the con coms of her broth
er’s company on Thursday evening,
August Ist.
Those invited were "Top" Sergeant
Jason, Sergeants Knight, Jthodes, Rob
erts; Corporal Lee and Cooks Martin
and Stroud and Sec. Robinson. In
spite of the very inclement weafher
every one reports a very enjoyable
time with the young ladies whom Mist;
Martin invited to meet the fellows.
After playing a few games the young
people were led by the hostess into the
dining room where the. general pat
riotic scheme of decoration was most
tastefully carried out. Crepe paper
had been lavishly used with ribbons in
the national colors. A most deliglitlril
lunch was served and over the coffee
smokes were served to the men.
On Saturday Miss Martin camo out
with her brother and explored the
camp, actually went in the trenches
and over the top and heard the guns
popping away and she could almost
believe that she was a Red Cross nm se
and that old Camp Hancock was -he
French front. Sergeant Knight, looks
very sad since Saturday night. Won
der what the trouble is? Look out,
the lady is already wearing an extra
service star on her pin.
Luther Binion of Company B. had a
pleasant surprise on last Wednesday
when he was visited by his three sis

cousin. Now I wonder what the rela
tion is What it Js we know that it.
was a hard matter to keep Private
Binion from getting that, big car and
motoring back to Sparta with the la
dies. Judging from the ones that vis
ited us. there must be plenty pretty
girls in Sparta.

HANCOCK SOLDIER
!
SPENT TWO YEARS
IN THE TRENCHES
Private. P. A McGill, of the Third
Casual Company, First Provisional
Regiment. Ordnance Training School,
b Camp Hancock, although still under
; 21. is a veteran of the world war, hav
, ing spent two years in the trenches
’ with the allied armies. He went over
seas when only 16 years of age, later
returning to this country. He has
given The Herald a very interesting
account of join? of his experiences,
. which are as follows:
. I went overseas at the age of 16 and
immediately went into the trenches. I
( am going to try and give you some Idea
of what it is like over there. First, I
was put on duty at an observation post
out in no men’s land and when I got
; out there I heard some peculiar noise
which I could not locate. T kept per
fectly still for a long time and then I
. happened to glance upwards and be-
■ lieve me what I saw would have scared
the devil himself, but with an effort I
kept quiet and when I thought I was
: safe I crawled back to my trench. I
I at once reported the matter to my of- '
; ficer and he said it was nothing at all,
but I told him that if he had seen
. what I had he would most certainlv
. change his mind. He ordered me to
stay in and the next dav we were or
s tiered to g 0 over the top.
At 5 o’clock we received the signal
> and my company was the first to go
! over. As we were moving along I
could see hundreds and even thous
ands of dead Germans lying on the
ivittlefleld which our prtlllery had torn
’ completely up. Shells were dropping
all around us, making holes big enough
■ to put the City of Augusta into. When
we reached our objective w» halted
and began to dig ourselves in. All this
time they were shelling us to beat the
band anil 1 could see. our boys going
down. The more I thought about it the
more blood-thirsty I got and when we
were entrenched rhe order cams to
. hold the line at all cost and in about
s an hour or so we could see the Huns
eoi .mg m the distance. There were
. only .1 lew of us but, we held the line.
, we stayed in trenches about 24 hours
longer and were about to be relieved
when a German bombing party attack
. ed. It was the reliefs first time in and
it was a sight to see them getting into
, place. I here were fifty Germans to
, our twenty-five but we fought as we
never fought before and when the fight
was over there were only three men to
> take, so we went to the rest cams)
The stores were all wide open and
i the f rench girls were, there to meet
’"..'.'J l l l ' v '' 1 a<l ■' mighty fine time.
■ The next time we went in it was
, ratner rrnfet, but. our trench was full of
mud an 1 water—we were up to our
waists m the stuff. There were also
ruts almost as big as cats and the
I tunny pari was that they were so
tame. They would even come right up
to you and they did not. hesitate to
sleep with you
I’or two days everything was as still
1: . a mouse but on the third dav -we
wore told that we had to make Vimv
Hidge. 11 was on the 13th and we took
> our position on the side of the trench
lat 11 O’clock one night The next
morning at. 5 o'clock we started to
> move and as wo jumped out ther* were
; all kinds of fireworks. My platoon
was told to take a certain pill-box and
: os we came upon the Huns they fought
■ like real demons, hut wo had an un
usually fine officer and he, himself, led
the charge. There was a great deal of
■ hand-to-liand fighting and believe me
i it you did t get your man you could
I count, on being gotten yourself. ft
> took us two hours to get that pill-box
but we finally got it after some mighty
hard fighting. When we entered the
. pill-box w-e found one German alive
; and he was chained to his machine gun
. As soon as he saw us he threw up his
hands and shouted for mercy, saying
that he had five children and a wife
. but one of Our boys said to hell with
, you and ran Ills bayonet, through him
We went further and came to a dug
out One of our fellows knew a little
German so he hollered down and ask
ed how many were down there The
Germans must have thought that it
was one of their own ofifeers because
they answered 18. We threw about six
bombs down there and that was the
last I saw or heard of that particular
dug-out. We went on and came upon
11. bunch of Huns that were in fighting
condition, but the gas was so bad that
we were forced to put our masks on.
All of a, sudden there came a crash
and my mask flew out of my hands
and I faintly remember something that
resembled a knife and then 1 went to
Sleep for a. spell When I woke up I
was in a hospital with a. pretty nurse
bending over and that song. "I don’t
Want to Get. Well,” sure did run
through my head.
