1 z THE OGDEN STANDARD: OGDEN, UTAH, TUESDAY,.. NOVEMBER, .5, 1918. 1 MID SIB I WRITES TO PARENTS j Two letters received in the past few H'j days by Mr. and Mrs. Honor Swannec. H-l 3174 Washington avenue, parents of Sergt. Howard Swannor who was wounded In action in France about Oc H tober G. tell vividly of the action which Hf preceded his own "casualty." ( One letter, dated October 0, says: ! "First a- line to let you know that 1 am feeling pretty good and I hope you ' are all well. I was transferred from I the hospital where 1 was to another Hjj about 200 miles further away from the Hi lines. Was two days and two nights on the train, arriving here last night, but 1 I don't think I will be here very long. WhcTe 1 am now is a dandy place, the best of nurses and the best of eats and treatment, which is a whole lot to a wounded Sammie. He is all right as long as he gets plenty to cat and we sure get it hero. "The Red Cross does quite a lot for you, for Yvhcn the wounded come in "off the field they arc right on hand at , the dressing station with coifee, candy, tobacco and cakes, which certainly go Hj I good because I know through experi- V encc. 1 know I hadn't had any coffee I H. in four days and cakes were out of the H1 question, and it was certainly a treat H" to me and 1 know all the rest were Hi there and able to eat and enjoy it. j "Well, 1 never told you anything about going over the top. Guy Empey didn't have anything on mo at all. Tho first day ve went over at 5:45 a. m. 1 and yvo YvenL for nearly the whole day Hj before seeing many Germans. Like Dad said. If Yve can't catch them afoot get a horse. But along in the aftor Hj. noon we met lots of them, and wo took lots of them prisoners, keeping- just ' behind our barrage until dark and then we entrenched in some heavy Yvoods. The next morning Yve started out real Htj early and they Yvere also on the job , Yvith their machine guns by the dozen or rather thousands but that didn't stop us only a little. But in tho aftcr noon we had to slow up, as wc had H' gone too fast tho day before and our Hi artillery couldn't keep up and all the H afternoon of the second day the Ger- , man artillery shelled us so we couldn't i advance, and the morning of the third i dav we started out real early again nnd j with , our artillery support yvo were H; going along fine until a shell came over and busted right by me and a corporal and got us both, so we Yvere both counted out and both took tho count. Hr Well, I must go to supper so Yvill tell ( you more when I see you." H;' Rapidly Recovering. i The second letter, dated October 12, follows: "I am feeling fino today and H hope you arc all well. My Yvounds are, Hl getting along just dandy. You will never be able to see Yvherc I was hit, at all, unless they operate and I don't think they are going to do that. The pieces are still in and the doctor Yvould Hj not bother me at all, but day before vesterdav they took another X-ray of the wound and I don't know what he i is going to do now.

How to Avoid. j j I f The constant daily increase of Span- ish Influenza reported by local physi clans shows clearly that many people are failing to take tho simple ordinary precautions necessary to avoid Infec lion. For, whlc Influenza, after its de vclopment, is sometimes difficult to I cure, it is said to be a preventable dis ease. The best plan Is to begin treatment before the first symptoms starts. For no other disease. will develop so quick ly or spread so rapidly. You may feel fine today be sick tomorrow and lose a week or more of work. You will in deed be fortunate if pneumonia does not develop. It is claimed that Influenza is caused by a germ in the air that every breuth you take Is likely to draw them into your nose and throat; that you can prevent the disease by killing the germs before they spread throughout your body. There is probably no safer or surer treatment than to go to the . nearest drug store and get one of the 1 famous Hyomei Inhaling Outfits con-1 sisting of a bottle of the pure Oil of Hyomei and a little vestpocket hard rubber inhaling device into Yvhich a few drops of the Oil of Hyomei are poured. Just breathe this Oil of Hyomei deep into your nose, throat and lungs and then every particle of air that enters j your breathing organs Yvill be charged with an antiseptic, healing balsm. You can't do this too often. No or dinary night and morning gargling or throat spraying will be sufficient so long as during the day you come in constant contact with infection. The Tyomcl Inhaler is small and can be conveniently carried In a hand'bag or vestpocket. Every half hour or so throughout the day take it out and draYV a few breaths of its pure healing air into your nose and throat. 33y doing this you should avoid Infection and check the further spread of tho disease even though you are coming in direct contact with it. This is an inexpensive treatment as the Iniialer Yvill last a lifetime and further supplies of the Oil of Hyomei can be had at any drug store for a few cents. NOTE: Oil of Hyomei, so strongly recommended above, is not a now dis covery but Is the application of an old and time-tried treatment to a new dis ease. Hyomei has been a standard in the treatment of catarrh and colds for almost, twenty years and is sold by druggists everywhere. Hundreds of people in Ogden and vicinity keep a Hyomei outfit with inhaler on the bathroom shelf for regular winter use. If you have one get It out now and use it. If you haven't one, go to tho near est drug store and get one today. It is the duty of every person, not only for his OYvn sako but for the commu nity to do all in his power to prevent further spread of this epidemic and to stamp it out. Culley Drug Co. Advertisement.

I do hope to get back Yvith the company at least, and I think I will Yvithin tho next two or Ihree weeks at least I hope to. 1 would sure like to know how the rest of the boys are. There are none of them Yvhere I am, at least I haven't seen any of them. I am in the eye ward and there are nono in there. Tho first night I came In to the hospital down here yvc unloaded from tho autos nnd j I was Yvalking down a long hallway, when 1 heard a fellow say: 'Hello, Swanner!" and I looked around and it was a fellow who used to be in our company at Camp Lewis, but was transferred out last February and got over last March. He was wounded with a machine gun. He had fivo bullet holes through his legs and now he is walking pretty good. Gee, he Yvas sure glad to sco me and I was sure glad to see him, as ho Yvas in my squad when I Yvas corporal back at Camp Lewis. So wc had a nice long talk. I am going over and see him as soon as I finish this letter and talk over old times, what Yve used to do back in the states. It makes us feel good to talk about the states, evon if wc are thousands of miles from them. "You know I moved to another base hospital and they say it is about eight hundred miles from the lines. That is a long Yvays, isn't it? But it don't take verv long to get up to the lines at that." oo i - i Two More Diamond I i Stars to Go Into' ! War in Europe! i DETROIT. Mioh.. Nov. 4. Two more diamond stirs of the Detroit American league club are about to go Into Yvar Yvork either on the firing line or wel fare work behind the trenches. Jim ("Deacon") McQuiro, Yvho was twice connected Yvith the local club, once as a catcher. and later as a coach and scout, is understood to have been waiting a call from the Knights of Co lumbus for service overseas. McQuiro is Yvell beyond the draft age, and con sequently ineligible for active fighting service. He has a keen desire to take some part in tho world war, however, according to his friends here. "Wild Bill" Donovan, for years pitching Idol of Detroit fans, and last season assistant to Hughie Jennings, is the other Detroitor slated for ovorseas service. It Yvas at first understood Donovan would also become connect ed with tho Knights of Columbus over seas organization, but more recontly it Yvas reported he had succeeded in en listing in the navy. No direct word has been received from Donovan himself, hoYvovor. Jennings and Bill Coughlin, another former Tiger player, already have joined forces with the Knights of Columbus. Coach Olcott ' Mas Blues Over ; i Navy Gridiron GREAT LAKES, 111., Nov. 4. Coach Herman Olcott, chauffeur of the Great Lakes football tank, is strain ing his eyes to find the alleged silver lining of the dark clouds that are sail ing over the sailors' big athletic field these days. Recent happenings on the navy grid lron are enough to bring the various "blues" to any coach. Olcott at one sweep lost a crack end, a fullback and a crashing halfback. Injuries cut in to shelve another halfback and his quar i terba.ck, not to mention minor hurts to i a couple of husky linemen. Lost for all times are Roscoe Minion, I the rushing end from the University of Indiana, who has been operating along the Tight flank of Olcott's machino this yoar. Minton was the star of tho Iowa game and waa rated one of tho best pieces of football bric-a-brac in the squad. Together with Leland Mendenhall. whose Alma Mater is Iowa, ho Is shov ing off for Dunwoody institute at Min neapolis to pick up tho fine art of naval aviation. Mendenhall's absence leaves a hole in the backfield. The third to bid good-bye is Paul Dobson, captain elect of Nebraska, and fullback understudy on the station team. He too aspires to air service and will continue his studies at Boston Tech. On tho hospital list is Harry Elel son. halfback and Jimmy Conzolman, quarter. Elelson's knees aro bothering him considerably. Cbnzelman turned an ankle in scrimmage. uu Tho young' lady serosa the way aays eho understands tho peach stonca Yve'rc ah saving- are used to make sub masks and she wondors how they keep them from rnttllng and attracting the enemy's at tention Tvhon the boys atari out to creep over the op. Brains and Nerves ! Chief Perquisites In Army and Navy CLEVELAND, Nov. 4. Brains and nerves are the chief pcrquisilics of an officer in the Americans army, accord Ing to William Wambsganss, former Cleveland inflelder, Yvho is attending training camp at Camp Gordon. Geor gia. "I am glad Uncle Sam grabbed mc when he did." said "Wamby," Yvho came hero on a ten -day furlough to see his new baby daughtor. "Training at Camp Gordon for a commission is hardor Yvork than playing baseball, but it is worth it and I have boon promised a chanco with a regiment going to France soon if I Yvln my commission. "One of our officers yvIio has been in Franco says that to bo a successful officer a man must have 5 per cent brains and 05 per cent nerve. I am suro I cRn qualify so far as the nerve is concerned."
