Dear Mother:
Your long letter of Aug. 8th
received and I was certainly
glad to hear from you, as it
seems an ag^ since I had a let
ter from you all.
Brevard seems to be a lively
place now. It certainly seems
to add to one who is over here
amidst the turmoil, to think
how peaceful and calm it must
be in a place like Brevard, so
far away. It certainly would
be nice to be out of it for a few
days back there where you
could just forget it all and let
your mind relax a bit. It gets
pretty monotonous some times,
just war, war, war. I imagine
it must be growing pretty tire
some by this time to the Huns.
We know now anyway that we
have them on the run and I feel
sure we will keep going till we
get them behind the Rhine.
Guess raising the draft age
is causing quite a sensation in
some parts of the country. If
it takes that to lick the Hun,
tho, we are willing to do it, 15
million strong.
Think I’ve told you before,
am getting paper now. Receiv
ed the local paper before I re
ceived your letter. I appre
ciate it and it lessens the dis
tance between Brevard and
France quite a bit. I forget
where I am for the time being
and imagine myself in Bre
vard.
Glad to know crops are good
and everybody making money.
Guess the soldiers of David
son River add quite a bit to the
finances of Brevard.
Yes, I amagine the country
is pretty well stripped of the
young boys. It will be a great
time when it’s all over and we
come sailing back home.
We are all working hard
now, don’t have much time to
write. Nothing startling to tell
here. You will notice change
in address. This is only change
in name of the organization.
We are at the same place,
Paullevoy. I like this place
about as well as any I’ve been.
There isn’t anything of special
interest in any of these towns
after you have been in them for
aw'hile and seen all the town.
The most interesting thing
about any of the buildings, etc.
tho, is the antiquity of the buil
dings. Guess most of the buil
dings are from 50 to 100 years
old and upv/ard, all have some
thing of historical interest. I
have been in Chateaus and
buildings 1000 years old, think
of it. There is a chateau at
Prest I went thru, they say was
started by the Phoenicians
way back before Christ. There
is a building here 1000 years
old, all rock. You see, all this
country has been fought over
so many time that every place
you go, there was some kind of
a battle, may be two or three
hundred years ago. There is
so much history to France I’ve
quit trying to learn any of it
except what is connected with
this war, and that’s lots, you
know.
Am well, doing fine. Hope
all at home are well.
Your loving son,
Virgil W. Osborne.

SERVICE AS BROAD
AS THE COMMUNITY
War Camp Community Service Pro
vides Numberless intimate Com
forts For Soldiers
Club rooms for soldiers, entertain
ments for the boys in khaki, outings
for convalescent men back from
France, small, but appreciated ser
vices to soldiers and their relatives
and friends—these are some of the
manifold activities of the War Camp
Community Service.
The War Camp Community Ser
vice comes close to the intimate life
of the soldier and provides for his
mental as well as physical comfort
by furnishing the facilities which
make it possible for him to relax
from the strain of military training
and the preparation for overseas
fighting.
Its symbol is the red circle and its
activities are as unending as the cir
cumference of its insignia. Thou
sands of soldier boys take advantage
of its facilities and other thousands
of relatives and friends of the boys
in Uncle Sara’s uniform are daily
benefited through its various ave
nues of effort.
BUILDING MORALE
OF lEWISa TROOPS
Work Of Jewish Welfare Board Pro
ducing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches
No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish W^elfare Board, which is en
gaged in its task of keeping up the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Btilieving that in the struggle of
morale against “kultur" the American
j army has every advantage that will
j insure success, the Jewish organiza-
I tion is making its chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. The call lor workers is urgent
and rabbis, i)rofessional men, journal
ists, social workers and others are
entering the service of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.

Despite the fact that the ocean

which has shouldered the responsibil

STEUA-nTAE
We wanteveiyafBicted woman to try
at least one bottle of 5tella-Vitae on
our plain, open guarantee to return the
money paid for It if it does not benefit.
If you doubt our word that it will
relieve the distressing aches, pains and
misery peculiar to the diseases of wo
men, read tbetestimony of these women
who have tried it and are i^lad to tell
others what it has done for them. The
only interest they have in the mattei
is that which any true woman feels in
helping to relievethesufierings of other
women. You can believe them.
Mrs. J. F. Lee, Milstead, Ga., had
female complaint for years. Three bot
tles of Btella-Vitab cured her, she
said, and added,‘‘1 am certainly thank
ful for this great female tonic.’’ Mrs.
Paralee Frazier, Longview, Tex., ex
pressed appreciation of STELLA-VrrAE
m these words: cannot say too much
for this wonderful medicine. 1 had
taken other fcm£|le medicines for two
years with no go^ resulte. I am truly
grateful for the good Stbixa-Vitae
has done me.” Mrs. Sandy Withers,
of Greensboro, Ala., was a terrible suf
ferer from female trouble—and only a
woman knows what that means! Hei
condition got so bad her pains threw
her into spells like fits. Her husband
feared she would lose her mind. The
Greensboro doctors pronounced her in
curable. Then somebody sugs^ested
that she take Stella-Vitae. She did
80 The first dose lightened her spells.
StelIiA-Vitae is a perfectly harm
less cooipomid and it not only alleviates
a woman’s pain buu builds up her
health; it stimulates her appetite, aids
digestion, quiets her nerves and clears
her complexion. It improves her per
sonal appearance. .
All dealers sell StellarVitae, and are
authorized to return the money paid
for the iirst bottle if it does not benefit.
