The Army boys are big and tough. They have boys from Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana, and they look good, but it won't hurt the boys to perhaps get a licking in the early stages because they are against some very tough competition. I enjoyed your discourse on the Penn game. I listened to it over the radio and it seemed as if liavy had tremendous power and grew stronger due to their reserves and the scarcity of Pem‘s reserves.

Whenever did Kansas rate as favorite? Personally, I am just a little fearful of the result because Nebraske has pleyed Mimesota, Indiana and Iowa Stete, and Kansas’ competi- tion hasn*t been nearly as strong. Sut the win last Saturday against Washburn I em sure will be helpful rather than hurtful. I do not know about Nebraska's punters or anything about them, but two of their stars were kept out of tho Iowa State game because of injuries and they are back in the game for Kensas. So I am just afraid that something might happen that would not work out according te the dope, but I must remember that the gamblers are not sentimentalists and if they geve Nebraska six points, then Nebraska must be terribly week. : er We have a good team for war time conditions, if you know what I mean. Henry and Elmer are doing a fine job and they will get the most out of the men, but I just have a sneaking feeling that Nebraska will show more power against us than many people realize. ‘It 4g noon now and I mst sign off.

You really fitted into the notch, Jane, just as you always did when you were in college. The purpose of this letter is to emphasize to you, Jane, the nesessity of taking treatments. I aa not endeavor- ing to scare you in the least, but there is nothing that i know of that you could do to better advantage than to plan at least two treatments a week for a minimm of four weeks. That would make eight treatments, but 1 would say that the least you should consider would be twelve. However, I am afraid if I say twelve treatments that will seem too much. There is nothing, in my opinion, that will do you as much good as the treatments plus glyoolixir and betulin. You really neod these, Jane. foot, can't you see that she does this? You remember 1 wanted to give you more than two treat- nents, Jane, but that is all that I could get in. Yesterday's treatment went by the board, as you know, on account of having toe many things to do. Even though you are forsed to spend a half day getting the treatment, it is worth it.
