Necessary to Good Health.;
! Dental Corps Anxious That
Uncle Sam’s Fighters Have
Good Teeth
The American soldier has the reputa
tion of being the cleanest and best fed
soldier in the world. The fact that we
are Americans and our training environ
ment contributed to thoee conditions but
it is up to us, individually, to take, care
of our bodies and health. It is a well
known fact that your bodies cannot be
clean and healthy internally if your teeth
are not given care and attention by you.
Every bit of food that goes to nourish
the body comes in contact with the teeth.
You can readily see, then, why it is im-
that the teeth be kept free from
decay or abscess conditions. In order
jto keep them clean and fit to handle
food, it is necessary to use a tooth brush
after every meal or oftener.
As 1 have said several times in the
past you should clean you teeth after
each meal for the same reason that you
wash your '‘mess equipment.” lam sure
that your food will not be very inviting if
eaten from mess equipment which had j
j not been cleaned from the previous meal,

232. ''BaLie riyrnn of the
! Republic* Shouk to Studied
i in Order to Receive the Best
Inspiration
By H. Luessen.
I On Friday. August £>. the First Group
Band, under the leadership of J. J.
W;jerthnei», entertained many of the sol
diers from ail parts of Camp Hancock
with a real genuine concert, '“’he opening
piece was “America,” while botli band 1
and auditors remained standing. The
nour was rather- early for amusement of
this kind, owing numerous duties in
volved in sevtrul of the companies after
•veiling mess. However, as the moments
passed away, and darkness had set in,
the crowd thickened, some standing and
others using the sand piles, taken from
the. sewer dugout, near the boxing ring
Rt Y 232. for more suitable places of
| comfort.
The members of the band are to be con
■ gratul&ted for their efforts in bringing
out such harmonious effects in their mu
sic, and Mr Wuerthner deserves much
credit for the dwwlopment of his men
in such a short time
Almost any morning or early evening
may be seen the First Group Band on
the drill field assisting immensely in
keeping step the soldiers who are to
fight for the freedom of the world. Like
singing, a military band is essential™
it revives the spirit, renews the effort,
and helps to brng out the best that is
in the man. Go where you want on
the* firing line, just as the boysare get
ting ready to fire, and you will hear the
band strike up a tune which would thrill
the soul of any red-blooded American
This is the spirit of the American army
and the military band, as well as the
marching songs, is needed wherever the
boys in brown are showing their colors.
Watch the men of Uncle Sam salute
and the true-blooded civilian uncover his
head when the "Star Spangled Banner'*
is played, or see the wrapt attention in
dicative of devotion to country and a i
righteous cause when the band strikes
up the "Marseliaiae," “America,” “Dixie 1
Land,” “Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean,” “The Battle Cry of Freedom”—
what a spirit of devotion and patriotic ;
feeling exists in the hearts of the people !
during these moments.
There ;b no touching word, no patriotic j
fervor, like that which comes from the
pen of Julia Ward Howe, the author of
“Battle Hymn of the Republic.” This

Infantry Band, Formerly at
Camp Hancock, Tells of
; Events in France. French
Think Highly of Americans
The following letter has been re
ceived by Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Gibson
from a member of the band of the t
112th Infantry, one of the many Key
6tont state men whom the Gibsons
frequently had as their guests. Tho
home of Mr. and Mrs. Gibson has al
ways radiated the warmest hospitality
for the men at Camp Hancock and
friendships have been established that
bear testimony to the high regard in
which these patriotic citizens of Au
gusta are held by all the soldiers

know them:

Dear Gibsons*
I received Mr. Gibson's much wel
comed letter several days ago and
passed it around to all the boys. We
sure were glad to hear from you. Bet
ters are so scarce in France. We were
lucky enough to get a few about a
week ago. They come in bunches
here. I guess we are moving so much
they have a hard time locating us.
There are so many things of inter
est that I would like to tell you, but
the censor holds us down on our cor
respondence.
The boys are all feeling fine. We
still do some rehearsing. It might be
interesting to listen to a band rehears
ing with a nine-inch cannon about a
block away keeping time to the music ,
and the ever-present "Bee-buzz" of air
i planes high above our beaus.
This is Sunday and I have been
thinking how nice it would be to go i
home from church with the Gibsons j
and sit down in a real chair and eat ,
one of those kinds of feeds I used to .
get. The good times at your place
will never be forgotten by me. We >
didn’t get our rations yesterday so we
are out of luck for dinner today. Think
we will get supper, though, eo I’ll have
to make up for lost time. Huh?
The Y. M. C. A. ee:tainiy is doing
fine work for us fellows. They have a
canteen where we can buy toilet arti
cles, tobacco and occasionally a little
candy and cakes. For the boys in the
trenches a "Y" man fills a sack of
"eats” and goes through shell-fire, gas, j
etc., to get it to the boys. No one can
"run down” the Y. M. C. A. around the
American soldier without risking his :
life.

ways than one. The teeth yiu now have
will never be replaced if lost. A clean
tooth never decays, so take heed and see
that your teth are kept clean. Another
word about our advice and what we do
for you. When we have to extract a
tooth, it is because of past lack of care
i or some other condition and is the “court
lof last resort.” “We pull because we
, have to. not because we want to." As an
illustration of what we can do in the serv
i ice of our country and the individual sol-
I dier, I have records in my office now
showing how quite a number of men have
been taken from the sick bed and put
back Into condition for efficient service
bv cleaning up their mouth condition.
Many cases of rheumatism and other
muscle or joint affections are directly
traceable to tooth coadtions. The re
moval if a single abscessed tooth has
been known to cure a man of rheumatism
of years standing.
In telling you these things we do not
exaggerate simply because dentistry is
our hobby and life work, but because the
records of the past few years give us
facts to prove the importance of individ
ual care of teeth in relation to general
health. Remember that the army dental
surgeon is here for your personal benefit
and what he suggests is for your own
good. The more interest you show In
your own welfare, the easier it is for us
to help you.
Clean your teeth three times a day and
You are always welcome to come to
any of us for advice or help and I fed
sure that after your first visit o our
dental chairs you will agree that the
dentist is not quite the "Brute" you
[imagine him to be. TRY IT.”

ally and think of his pal away over in
France.
The church services this morning
were very interesting. We gave a
short band concert then all the boys
sang (hymns). There were a couple of
hundred French soldiers visiting us
and they joined in the best they could.
When we sang the “Marseillaise,” you
ought to have heard them sing. It
tickled them tu think we could play it.
The sermon was given by a. Penn,
man w'ho has been over here two years
and was very interesting ae he spent
his time in the prison camp of Ger
many until we entered the-! war. His
sermon was punctuated by our same
friends, the 0 inch guns. He leaves in
a couple of weeks for the U S. A.
[There isn’t one of us that wouldn't like
to go along, but none wants to go un
less we can all go and that can only
be when the kaiser's scalp is in our
hands.
The French soldiers are real rnen.
They think the American soldiers are
about tight. Van and I have mafic the
acquaintance of two of them and vc.
haven't any more sincere friends in the
world than they They are both well
educated boys and one speaks English
very well. Van found his equal in the
other fellow, one’s just as crazy as the
other. They had to leave this morning
for the front, but we have planned to
make a trip together this winter to
the home of one of the boys in Paris.
All the boys in the band have men
tioned the Gibsons and all want to be
remembered to you all.
Hoping to hear from you as often as
possible,
I am. vours with love.

OFFICER QUARTERS
ESTABLISHED
Portion of Front Veranda of K.
of C. Buiding Converted Into
Officers Quarters. Desk,
Newspapers and Magazines
Provided
New quarters for ofifeers to write
and read have been opened at K. of C.
Building No. 1, Wrightsboro Road. A
portion of the front veranda has been
enclosed with screening and wooden
panels, and everything to make the
place comfortable for ofifeers has been
provided. Writing desks and racks for
newspapers and magazines have been
installed and a cordial welcome is ex
tended to all ofifeers to use the new
reading room.
The establishing of officers’ quarters
is General Secretary Donahoe's idea
and it Is proving to be a success as the
place is being well patronized.
The entertainment planned for Tues
day night was called off because of the
dance held at the Lenwood hotel. Gen
eral Secretary Donahoe didn't want to
conflict in th eentertainments.
There are a large number of letters
being received from mothers and par
ents complaining about thier boys fail
ing to write home. One request stated
that a father, 70 years old. was anx
iously awaiting word from his son, who
is at Camp Hancock. The secretary
in charge of this work has been kept
hutsling to look up the derelict boys
and get them to write home more fre
quently. In several cases there has
been a delay because of the enormous
amount of mail that Uncle Sam is now
handling.
To avoid parents from worrying the
soldiers ought to write to their homes
at least three times a week.
The movies of Sunday and Monday
nights in No. 1 building furnished
plenty of amusement. There were
some good comic and features reels
shown.
Tonight, at No. 1 building is the reg
ular Wr-kly boxing event of the Spe
cil lasts T- -hool
w .u’ .TaL*.and Carnal Secretary!
Donahoe will stage box mg bouts to
morrow night of unusual rrr rit.
Don’t forget the dance a t No. 2 build
ing Friday night. A large crowd of
girls with chaperones from the city
will be present.
Clara's litter to Cltarlie
: Dear Charley:
YW j ]l, T did almost all the canning
this week that we will need for the
winter, but, my lands, it is so hard to
get sugar. One cannot even get enuf
, sugar to make fudge—and you knpw
what good fudge I make, sit least you
- a-lv-ays ate so much of it I ju.it know
you’ll miss the candy I sent to you at
camp—and 1 often wonder what you do
for Sweets. The last box I sent, you,
you said you made it last so long be
cause you could only suck it.
i We had a corn roast at Mount Nebo
last Friday night-—and Charley, I wish
' you could have been along for we had
such a good time. Everybody went in
our crowd and we all took something
alng to eat. I took a half dozen
spoons and three salt cellars. I thought
' that, was as necessary as anything
Some of the girls brought hinge that
were too killing for words. Think of
Sadie bringing cold apple fritters. Well,
she was the only otje that ate them for
1 did not notice anyone else take one.
Maisie brought a big cocoanut cake
. and it was fine, too. 1 happened to sit
near the cake, Charley, and I thought,
s of you every slice I because last
summer you made Maisie so angry
v.ien you stole her cake befor we ate
supper. The roasted corn was horrible.
. Lou Allen said he knew how to :oast
, corn and they Jest that smnrty boss
the job. Well; he »did not know how
i at all and he just ruined the corn.
I was awful a: jry at. him for it and I
; told him tha f he did not know a thing
about roasting corn. Ain’t I right,
Charley.
Os course Lou had to plant himself
right down beside me at supper and he
tried to be awful nice by hunting well
roasted ears of corn and then butter
ing and salting them for me.
Os course I had to be nice to him
a. .c-r the trouble he went to for me, but
I wish he had sat somewhere else than
near me. After supper we played
“spin the pan,” and Charley, Lou won
■ the right to kiss me. (You know how
the game is played j. Well, I would not
let him kiss me and so he grabbed me.
And what was I to do?
On the way home we stopped in at
Ross’ drug store and Lou treated me to
vanilla ice cream and wanted to buy
me a box of Lowney’s Chocolates. I
would not lot him. Ain’t I right, Char
ley.
Well, I must ton and get dinner. We
have cabbage and new potatoes today.
I hate cabbage in the house. It
smells so.
Write soon, os ever,
