THE PAPERS OF PRIVATE
PURKEV
Dear Ma.—
I got your clipping about 200,000
jeeps two be released by Christmas
and you are no more anxious
about me being one of them than
I are. I wish I had helped out
more at home so I could claim
somebody was dependent on me
without laughing. I have checked
and double checked to see if I
couldn’t dig up some evidence of
what a help I was to you and pop
but I did not have no luck to
speak of.
* * »
All I could get down on paper
was these three cases:
1. —Once about three years ago
when pop was sick ten days I took
care of the furnace and chipped in
about $4 to help pay family expenses.
(This is subject to error. It may
have been $4.50, but I kept no pa
pers.)
2. —In 1938 or 1939 I forget witch
when he was on a auto trip we had a
blowout and I did
not let you and
dad get out and
change the tire. I
did it myself.
3.—Last year
the radio went on
the fritz just wh^n
you and dad want
ed to hear some favorite program
and I fixed it for you. Also I went
to the delicatessen store for you a
couple of times when dad was two
tired.
• • •
I do not think this is enuff to get
the army to send me home as a
dependency case, so if you can think
of anything let me know and you
better make out a affedavits and
have it sworn by a notarery public
as the officers is very suspicious.
• • •
The paper says some units will
lose 30 per cent of their men through
releases but if all the boys in my
unit who are trying to get out are
successful mine will lose at least 99'
per cent. Otto Bixby’s folks have
dug up evidence that he is over 28
years old and that they put him
down as 26 because they lived two
years in Brooklyn witch don’t count.
• • •
Otto also says his family is suf
fering without him as his mother
can’t carry up
coal and wood
three flights like
-he used to. He
also says his sis
ter has arthuritus
and can’t mow
the lawn, wash
the flivver and do
all the washing and ironing. Al
together his being away from home
leaves the family in a awful fix he
says.
• • •
Another boy in my cutfit says he
is needed right away at home as
two new saloons have opened up
near his house and his old man is
less a help than ever. I am still
trying to get out on the ground I
am a hardship case and two new
things happened by way of evidence
this week. First I had two front
teeth pulled the same day that we
had steak for dinner. If that ain’t
a hardship I don’t know what is.
Next I am innoculated so many
times that to look at me you would
think woodpeckers had been work
ing all over me. And Nellie Peter
sen ain’t wrote me in over a hole
week all of witch makes me feel
more like a hardship case than ever.
• • •
Of coarse if I was married I could
get out of the army in the Christ
mas releases and I am now con
vinced that early marriage is a good
thing for every boy. Not thaf I wood
be such a heel as to get married to
dodge the draft, but I just wish I
had got married to a nice girl four
or five years ago when I had some
fine chances. If I had my life to live
over again I wood get married by
the time I was 18 and no later.
• • •
If I was anywhere near 28 I might
stand a show of getting out, but un
less you made a mistake in the
berth certifficates there is no hope
that way. Could you check up all
over again &nd be sure. I always
used to hate to think of being as
old as 28 or 30 but after a year in
a army no age seems so swell, in
fact with the world as cockeyed like
it is today I would have no com
plaint if I was 50.
Will this will have to be all for
now and do not worry as T am beef
ing just because it feels good and
life in a army is not so bad when
you get used to it.
Love,
Oscar.
P. S.—I hear Mildred Donaldson
has moved back into our neighbor
hood. Do you know her address?

Though “War Is Hell” one thing I

Due to priorities, drug stores will
have to cut by 15 to 25 per cent
many of the items they now carry,
it is predicted. Well, that’s okay
with us. We’re tired of dropping into
an apothecary shop for a pill and
coming out with a roll of linoleum, a
percolator, a wrist watch and a new
painting for the hall bedroom.

CHEST COLDS
Dus good old refiable way
At the first sign of the Dionne Quin
tuplets catching cold—their cheats and
throata are rubbed with Musterole—a
product made etpteially to promptly
relieve distress of colds and resulting
bronchial- and croupy coughs.
The Quints have alwaysnad expert
care, so mother—be assured of nsing
just about the BEST product made
when you use Husterole. It’a more
than an ordinary “salve”—Musterole
helps break up local congestion!
IN S STRENGTH'S: Children’s Ufid
Musterole. Also Regular and Extra
Strength for grown-ups who prefer
• stronger product. All drugs teres.
Unerring Sign
Virtue alone is the unerring sign
of a noble soul.—Boileau.
DON'T WORRY MOTHER!
If your boy or girl just won’t eat. If
vegetables and other foods necessary for
health cause daily arguments. Maybe
theirappetite needs encouragement.
Vitamin B1 and Iron in pleasant-tasting
VINOL helps promote appetite. Ask
your druggist for VINOL.

Backache
May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life
Irregular habil
drinking—ita r
i life with its hurry and worry:
habits, improper eating and
ig—ita risk of exposure and infec
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of tho- kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, ail worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan't PilU. Doan'* help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.
