THE CADUCEUS

MEDICAL SUPPLY
STOCKS ARE GOING UP.
EXTRA!!! Private Dudley M. Sar-
faty, HIMSELF, of the Caduceus staff,
hag gone to New York on a furlough.
Note: It is only reasonable to sup
pose that this item in the Caduceus
last week will be the cause of Wall
Street stock going up.
 “OLD SOL” AGAIN.
Conversation overheard between
Mess Sergeant Laske and a “Reautiful
fill” Private:
Private: Hey, Sol, what the H—’s
the matter with this Soup. It has had
a queer taste all this month. Tasted
much better last month. ,
Laskey: That’s funny—it’s the same
soup.
Tent No. 2 now boasts of a regular
honest-to-goodness window, due to
the efforts of none other than Pri
vate Wolf. He is now buried deep
in plans and specifications for a de
vice by which he can turn out the
light in his tent by a mere wiggle of
the toe. It wouldn’t surprise us to see
it come to pass one of these days,
judging from some of the. other “mod
ern improvements” he is accountable
for.
Private Blackwell was strolling
along Trade street one night when he
was in the Medical Corps, and as he
passed two fair maidens from Belmont
lie heard one of them (the school
teacher) whisper to the other one, as
she glanced at .his hatcord with her
astigmatic eye, “Well, now isn’t he
cute—and he’s in the engineer’s corps
too.” Since we have been transferred
to the Q. M. C. he has been trying to
fool them with a Cavalry hatcord.
Nick and Goldman have returned
from their ‘25-day furlough.”
Officers and enlisted men of the
base hospital would do well to step
into our office and see the wonderful
ly attractive calendar donated to us
by the Nicol-Spencer Lumber Com
pany of Gastonia, N. C.
When do we go home?
—Sergt. Thomas W. Goldman.
MEN ARE WARNED AGAINST
GIVING NEWS.
(Special To The Caduceus.)
Washington, D. C., Jan. 29.—A

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd.

Private McManus looked like “The
Rookie from the 13th Squad” the other
night in Liberty Park. Mac was a
credit to “Li'l ole Pittsburg” in his
campaign bonnet of four odd summers
and three even ones, turned up in
front with no hatcord at all, an over
coat that was as much too long as it
was too tight, and a pair of breeches
so baggy at the knees one would
think lie had a bag, rubber, hot wa
ter, over each of his knee caps. When
interviewed all Mac had to, say was,
“Ah, what’s the difference, we’ll soon
be dead.”
But, ah! “Greatness does not de
pend on size.” Napoleon, if he were
living today, would never get a job as
a cop.
