very anxious for his little gift from

how us fellows will spend Christ-

doing our best to deliver that little

It is a verv nice rain. We very sel-
dom see the sun. Si ill I am thank-
ful that it is no colder than it is.
It is much warmer here than in the
L'nited Stales. We saw our first
snow on Chrs; mas day enough
fell to lay a light carpet on the
ground and that is the last one up ! .
to the present time.

in the future. More than that I
didn't even get drunk and there
were all kinds of drinks around us.
I went to a 'foot ball game in the
afternoon played by the 7Sth di-

fact that France was eivilied in a

a- 1 ever saw. Il was all lit up
with electric 'lights. wi:h a lot of
presents. An American army band
was also there to furnish music.
After the program was finished
thev had a big dance.
We weren't entirely forgotten by
Santa as vve all got a box of choco-
lates and a package of cigarettes
and that was very much appreciat-
ed still we can buy all of that that
we want. Most of the boys have
received their Christinas packages
from the Slates while some have
not. Still I don't regret that 1 did
not send in a request. I only hope
that all of you had an enjoyable
time.
Well I am stil! away from the
company on a carpenter detail.
Don't know when we will finish
and hope we won't until we leave
for the States. I go over to the
company about twice a week. Creek
is still in Headquarters company.
P.oth of us are doing fine and are in
the best of health.
We still don't know anything
about the time we will leave or
where vve will go when we do
leave but it is the general opinion
that we will leave for the States in
a few weeks.
I don't know by you can no!

don't get all of your letters. We

Oklahoma City Jan 24. The an-
nual convention of the Young Men'j
League of Democratic Clubs of Ok-
lahoma to he held at McAlester on
Washington's birthday Feb. 22 will
be marked by the official reception
of the woman voter into the formal
organization of voters. Letters are
now going to every part of the state
urging the members of the various
clubs to bring their wives sweet-
hearts sisters and friends to the
McAlester meeting. It is expected
that fully 3.IKK) Young Democrats
men and women will attend the
McAlester meeting.
One of the important features of
the meeting will be the considera
tion ot l lie lorniation ot an organi
ization oi the women voters. In
quarters a separate club tor the
newly arrived feminine electors is
favored and in others the belief i-
that the club should admit the wo-
men to full membership of the
league as it now is. It is understood
.that many of the leaders who put
their shoulders behind the wheels of
j suffragism and were instrumental
in securing the franchise for Okla-
I hoina women will insist that they
shall be tendered the same privileges
is the male voters. At present the
matter of qualification for jury serv-
ice is the prime topic of discussion
nave beci
t mind.
William J. Armstrong of Oklaho-
ma City president of the league re-
ferring to the invitation to the wo-
men to attend the McAlester meet-
ing said: "In sending out this invi-
tation we wish to give the official re-
cognition to the women voters of
Oklahoma. In future years the
young women of the state will be a
vital influence in the affairs of the
commonwealth. We not only wel-
come them to equal suffrage bin
vve also ask their aid and co-operation
in the interest of good govern-
town i "lent tor the state ol Oklahoma.
1 he McAlester meeting will all
upon the last Saturday of the mouth
and as il is customary for both
houses of the legislature to adjourn
from Friday afternoon to Monday
forenoon it is expected that a large
proportion of the members will at-
tend the convention.
Kelly Urown of Muskogee broth-
er of Russell P.. P.rown and 11. H.
Ilrown of Ardmore. is at present
the only announced candidate foi
the presidency. President Armstrong
was elected at the Ardmore conven-
tion last February.

Nature's Music
Sighing through the trees whispering among the
nodding flowers swaying the golden fields of wheat
the gentle wood-wind zephyr trips across the world

shepherd and the master of all the countryside.

MEN AND WOMEN LOOK INTO
thia picture carefully.
It shows clearly that doctors and scientists are
absolutely right when they tell you that more than 70
non-organic diseases can be traced to an ACID-
STOMACH or as they call it Hyperacidity.
You see here how it begins the first symptoms
such as indigestion heartburn sour belching dis-
gusting food-repeating retching bloat sour gassy
stomach etc.
YOU SEE TOO WHAT ACID - STOMACH
LEADS TO -how it saps the health and strength
ot the strongest bodies how it brings on at-
. m i
ucks oi severe headache nervousness
mental depression insomnia melancholia
irritability rheumatism lumbago sciatica
biliousness gastntis.vertigo heart trouble
autointoxication intestinal congestion
and intestinal indigestion and irritation
which frequently result in ulcers and
cancerous conditions.
Thousands yes millions of men
and women suffer daily from these
troubles and never dream that it is
an acid-stomach that is the cause
of thir ill health.
BUT THERE IS NO NEED FOR K
SURPRISE. Think what scid-mouth does
to the teeth. You can't detect the presence
of the acid that forms in the mouth without
a chemical teat because it is absolutely taste
less. Yet it is bo Dowerful that it eats rirht
through the enamel the hardest substance in
the human body. And that is exactly what
nmkes teeth rot and decay. No wonder then
that excess acid in the stomach plays such havoc:
causes so much misery makes people so wctk and
ailing unfit for either work or pleasure and brings on
premature old age
Where Will It All End?
Where else caa it end except in broken health tho
draeeinir out of one miserable day after another no
energy a prey to your own gloomy thoughts the joys of
lite all gone for in tne end acid-stomacb. kills Hope
Ambition Courage.
You Deed not suffer from the immediate effects of Acid-
Stomach nor be a victim of its ninny evil consequences.
Strike at once at the very cause of all this trouble the
excess acid AND CET RID OF IT!
THERE IS A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO DO THIS.
A wonderful new discovery makes it possible to remove
excess acid without the slightest discomfort. It is called
EATON 1C made in the form of tablets they are good to
eat just like a bit of candy. Their action in the stomach is
a good deal like a piece of blotting paper taking up a drop of
ink they literally tbiorb the injurious excess acid and carry
it away through the intestines. They also drive the bloat
out of the body in fact you can fairly feel them work.
It Is Up To You!
TRY EATONIC and see bow quickly it banishes the im-
mediate effects of acid-stomach bloat heartburn belching
food-repeating indigestion etc. See too how quickly your
general health improves how much more pleasure you take in
eating how much more easily your food is digested how
soundly you sleep how nervousness and irritability disappear.
IT IS SO EASY TO GET THIS HELP-and it costsso little.
So why continue to Buffer another hour when sure quick relief is
at hand? Don't let acid-stomach wreck your health. Don't
drag out your days feeling all in down and out weak and ailing.
Give your stomach s chance to do its work properly. Get it in
a tine healthy condition pure sweet strong and comfortable
so that every mouthful ot tood you eat will be properly di-
gested and register 100 in enriching your
blood and building up your bodily strength tmmtm
If you are one of those who have ' 'tried
everything" but in spite of it are still lack-
ing in physical strength and vigor begin
at ence to take EATONIC. Don't put it
off. Get back vour physical and mental
punch. Have the power and energy to
work with vim. Enjoy the good things of
life. Learn whst it means to fsirly bubble
over with health. Like thousands of
others you will say that you never dreamed
it peasible that such a wonderful chsnge for
tie batterceuldbsbreughUtaut so quickly.
