We en­ joy our bicycle rides as we pass thru many quaint French villages, which are from one-half to three-quarter miles apart. They are small, from fifteen to twenty houses and up, and nearly every village has a chateau, or, as we call it, a castle. All of the houses are built of white stone or cement and have high stone fences around them. Food is very high here. Yesterday I had two fried eggs and they cost me 75 cents. We had our first examination and I had perfect score. Hope I can keep this up. I had my picture taken for identification cards and will serfd you one so you can see I am getting fat and feeling fiiy. Have not heard from my lost trunk and suppose, some­ body else is eating my jam and candy and smoking my cigarettes. Also wearing my leather goods, which I miss very much. One of the fellows in my room is taking dinner with his two sisters to­ night (lucky fellow). I was lucky to take that batten with me. Am now wearing it in my ears when at the "guns." Even tho the racket is bad, it is great sport, however, and only wish we were at the front One of the fellows bought a Satur­ day Evening Post one month old, but new here. It's a damn shame that we don't get mail sooner. The 13th of February I took my first fall from the horse as it was galloping. It was a nice, easy one. But today took a dandy. We were riding, or rather galloping, very fast and the fellow in front of me fell off. My horse gave a big jump sideways and I went off like a shot and landed squarely on my head. It dazed me for a minute, but I did not get hurt. The floor is tan bark and easy to fall on. Had another good day on the range to day. Keep on writing, some time I'll get the mail. It looks like a long stay over here. Remember me to all the folks. Tell Newell I've eaten nothing that comes up to his "goose," altho we have excellent feed here. Alford H. Pouse.

APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in­ fluenced by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it you must take an internal remedy. Hall's Ca­ tarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the blood on the mucous sur­ faces of the system. Hall's Catarrh Cure was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years. It is composed of some of the best tonics known, combined with some of the best blood purifiers. The pcrfcct com­ bination of the ingredients in Hall's Catarrh Cure is what produces such wonderful results in catarrhal condi­ tions. Send for testimonials, fr«e. r. J.
