From Jelks Breazeale
&s it is often called. At 4 a. m.
we marched into the socalled
rest camp, just out of South
ampton, where we tried to get
some much needed rest. About
all we accomplished here was
to overcome sea legs. The fol
lowing evening we marched
aboard a steamer where we
made ourselves as comfortable
as possible for a trip across the
channel. We arrived at Le
Harve, France, at the break of
day.
Our first view of France was
through a heavy mist and fog.
After plodding along under
the heavy packs, we at last ar
rived at a rest camp on the hill
overlooking the city. Here we
remained in camouflaged tents
during the day, so as not to be
spied by an enemy plane that
might be scouting about. Little
! sleep did we get that night on
lour beds of boards and for the
roar of guns at the front. The
following day we were loaded
into cars capable of hauling
forty men or , eight horses.
What a scramble there was for
even room to exist,
i We arrived in Romorantin
August 5, where we have re
mained in camp, one and one
half miles from the city to the
present time. General Persh
ing in one of his visits to our
camp, commended very highly
the work done here and the
spirit of the men, saying that
each and every man by faith
fully performing his duties
here was contributing just as
much and we just as necessary
and essential to the final vic
tory as the men in the trenches
“He was doing his bit.”
With love,
Sgt. JELKS BRAZEALE
Stopped Cough After Flu
“I want to say that Foley's
Honey' and Tar is the best
cough medicine I ever tried,”
writes E. B. McDowel, R. F. D.
1, Box 119, Arlington, Tenn.
“My son had Influenza. He
had the worse knid of a cough
and I tried everything, but
nothing did any good. God
sent me a friend with Foley’s
Honey and Tar and his cough
was better the next day and in
two days he had no cough at
all.” Foley’s Honey and Tar
stops harsh, racking coughs;
eases wheezy breathing. It is
effective, yet pleasant to take.

NOTICE
To the citizens of McCrorv
Some weeks ago the ArL
sas State Council of n»flan'
called the attention of thp «
pie of Arkansas to the start*
ling fact that last year 22 nno
jhead of live stock lost thef tv
es on the railroads in Arka„
Isas, resulting in a useless watt,
of 6,000,000 pounds of 2!
fats and leather. And this «
n f irvi n xtrh av» ^ _1 i
a time when the whole coun
I try was denying itself meat in
order to conserve food for m,,
soldiers and allies.
Although the war is over
the Council of Defense is still
calling on America to continue
to conserve if we are to keen
our pledge to ship 20,000,000
tons of food to our allies in
1919. For this reason the Ark
ansas State Council of Defense
is still vigorously continuing
the campaign to reduce stock
losses on railroad tracks.
Statistics show that above
75 per cent of the stock losses
on railroad tracks in Arkansas
occur in towns where stock are
allowed to run at large. If
every town that has no stock
law would pass one and en
force it, it would materially
help in reducing this enormous
and useless waste of food that
takes place in our state every
year. We most earnestly rec
ommend to the mayors and the
citizens of the towns that stock
laws be passed.
