Interesting Letter From Clinton
Winchester, a Warren Boy,
Telling of Army Life
on the Border.
Llano Grande, Texas,
Co. D., 1st Mimi O. N.
August 13, 1916.

August 13, 1916.
Warren Sheaf:
Well, almost a month has passed
since we first landed in this part Of
the country and everything is gett-
ing better.
When we first came into Llano
Grande, the 18th of July, the whole
country was covered by a thick
growth Of mesquite and cactus.
Three hours after our arrival on
the camping grounds, the tents were
up and part of the streets were
cleared of most of the thorny under
growth. Then followed a week of
nerve racking, back breaking work,
by unclimated men from cities, for
most Of the first regiment is COM
posed of city men. However, these
men, with few exceptions, stood up
under the grueling heat very we'll.
One Of the worst things which
the troops had to contend with was
the lack of water and at times this
seemed almost serious. Our COM
pany was without water for
whole twelve hours. Even the cooks
were without the liquid. Then, as
never, was water priced by the men.
However, by the end of the week
this shortage was remedied. The
water was hot, and we were unable
to obtain any ice, so for some time
we did not enjoy our drinks at all.
Now, however, that is all changed
and every morning we have over 100
pounds of ice for drinking water.
We have shower baths, floors in
our tents, and a peach of a Y. M. C.
A., where fellows can go to religious
exercises and also to play checkers,
| write, read and hold shows.
The Minnesota troops, that is the
1st regiment, is to leave in about
two weeks for Brownsville, to- do,
guard duty for a few weeks, after
which it returns to St. Paul.
OuI. regiment is the most efficient
one in the guards. That is a big
compliment when you consider that
there are about forty states having
guards. We feel very proud Of
our record. .----
| The Dakota guards are here, also
the Nebraska and Indiana regiments.
Friday we have long hikes. We
began by taking short one of six
miles and then increasing the dis
tance each Friday. Last Friday we
hiked fifteen miles under light packs.
All but three Of our company finish
ed and these men were not in hik-
ing condition, so they were not to
blame.
We have fine officers from the
on-Com's to the Colonel. He sure
is a brick. Friday instead of riding
a horse as he could have done, het
walked and finished freshest of all.
Our "chuck" is good and plenty Of
it. At first it was little scarce
but now it couldn't be beat.

GOOD ENOUGH"
We'll Known Druggists Talk of Coming
Introduction of the Master
Medicine

In connection with the introduction
OF the famous Master Medicine, Tan
lac, which begins in this city Saturday,
the Gorgas Drug Company say:
w have secured the exclusive dis
~tribution of Tanlac, and, judging from
the reports which precede the prep
aration from Chicago, st. Louis, Phil
adelphia and Pittsburgh, where Tan
lac is in great demand, we feel that
he have indeed been fortunate in Sc
curing the agency for this medicine.
The policy of our store, which is
well known to has always
been one of liberal conservatism. We
first investigate a preparation, and If
1t is meritorious we lend our encour-
agement to its exploitation. The best
Is none too good for our customers.
"Tanlac, while a new preparation,
comes to US with a reputation of real
merit. Leading druggists elsewhere
state that the sale of Tanlac has been
unprecedented, the results gratifying"
Mr.. Carey, the Tanlac Man, who is
here to personally introduce the pre-
mier preparation, said:
"Tanlac is the result of scientific
research. Its ingredients are gathered
from the remotest parts of the earth
and compounded by a skilled German
chemist as m~ysteriously as famous
mineral waters are formed. The
science of man, competitive chemist
skill and acquired medical lore are set
at defiance insofar as imitation is con-
cerned.
"Tanlac has and is now proving as
tonishingly successful in instances of
stomach, liver and kidney troubles, as
we'll as catarrh. AS a general tonic
n stomach for half-sick, rundown.
l~istless, dyspeptic men and il
builds up the system, creates a healthy
appetite, promotes digestion, assists the
blood, and brings back color to the
cheeks n the sparkle of health ia

usual."-Advertisement.

do something she feared. Suddenly
she lifted her head in a pretty, Sig
niicant gesture. and her left arm went
around the drivers neck. Always her
left arm, thought Sydney. what was
the trouble with the right one? The
driver patted her on the one
more, a low-voiced word or two' ana
the girl started down the street alone.
sydney drew farther back in the
shade as the car backed along the
curb to the corner. 1t turned, and
crawled slowly past his hiding place
out of the street. He tried TO see
the drivers face, but it was covered
with big, masklike automobile goggles.
Keeping in the shadow OF the build
ings noiselessly, Sydney slid along IN
the wake of the girl. In the stiffness
seemed m~agnified, intensified. He
could hear the pounding of his own
heart. and his footsteps sounded, to his
highly strung nerves., like the clank or
horses hoofs on cobbles. He could
imagine the feelings of the delicate
girl as she made her way alone
through the street, where every house
was a hive of be~whiskered, ill-smell-
ing foreigners, who would come
swarming out at the least sign of any
thing unusual. But she went resolute-
ly ahead, never once turning to look
back.
Halfway down the block she walk
ed nearer the houses, and Sydney saw
that she was looking for some lumber
or sign. She stopped before one with
brownstone steps, a relic of the days
when a~ristocracy had reigned, and
powdered, bewigged women and men
had walked the rutted dirt o of
old New York. But now the build
ing was wedged between a lottery
wooden warehouse and a tumble-down
structure, outside of which a great,
rusty anchor n huge pile of chain
proclaimed the owners business. The
girl hesitated a moment, squared her
shoulders, and hurried up the steps
as though she was afraid her courage
would desert her before IN reached
the top. She put her hand on the
door handle and turned it. The door
opened creakingly. and she entered.
For several minutes Sydney Thames
crouched in the shadows, staring at
the house. The unexpectedness of the
girls action had stunned him. He
had thought of every possibility but
her ready entrance. He had seen ear
in her manne al she paused at the
bottom of the steps. Yet she had
gone into the dark house as though
she belonged there. Why should a
girl like that be in such a section Of
the city as such an hour?
Taking advantage of the shadows.
he crept nearer the g~rim-looking
house sandwiched between it's grim
mer-looking mates. There was not a
light. He could see the end windows,
thick with years accumulation of dust
and dirt. One heavy green shutter
hung by a single hinge. An empty
house, certainly. Yet the front door
had been open and the girl had enter

BE GOOD TO YOUR
FEET AND THEY'LL
BE GOOD TO 0

It's the easiest thing in the world
to have cool, happy comfortable feet.
Just try this simple little test and see
fol yourself: Go to H. c. Kennedy or
any good druggist, get a package of
EGO, the wonderful new foot balm.
Rub it gently on your feet tonight
before going to bed and-good-bye
foot troubles forever!
It's just like magic the way this
simple little EGO rubs the pain, the
ache, the swelling and the misery out
of tired, misused feet; and, what will
tickle you most - the happy feeling
last! Out of the window with the
fussy prepared alum powders and foot
paints! Give your feet a real treat with
EGO. Do it just this once and make
your feet happy!-Advt.

hour, three-quarters. The noise of the
bridge cars sounded in Sydney's ears.
On a street far over. a milk wagon
clattered over the uneven street paw
ings. But the girl did not reappear.
Sydney Thames brain conjured up all
sorts of terrible possibilities as he
crouched in the darkness of the
shadows. Where was the driver of
the car who had left her? Why had
she shown such fear at the bottom of
the steps, then entered the house so
boldly and without knocking? What
kind of a place was it?
Sydney Thames went forward care
fully. Cotton had told him to find
out where the girl went. He would!
The big pile of rusty chain threw a
mantle of blackness owe the. stone
steps. He assembled them carefully;
but there was no sound, nor a chink of
light. He saw a heavy brass knocker
on the accompanied, unpaneled door.

A battered brass sign, slightly askew,
showed outlines dimly in the lesser
shadows of the house front. He bent
forward to make out the letters in the

darkness, but could not. He put his
fingers up to feel the first letter, deep
ly bitten into the metal. AS the blind
Thames spelled it out slowly, and
when the last letter on the dull brass
sign told him the words, his sharp
indrawn breath sounded hissingly in
the silence. His fingers had read:
SILVER SANDALS,
C~lairvoyant.
The shooting of a heavy bolt behind
the wooden door grated on his ears.
He heard the first creak of the hinges
before he had a chance to move. The
door swung open, and, standing before
him, terrible, more sinister than ever

scared with years uncountable. The
lighted candle she held over her head
accumulated her age with it's garish,

The most puzzlinc feature of the
