The chain-letter- fake, in which a
fraudulent Minneapolis firm offered
to send SIS silk petticoat in re-
turn for ten cents, provided the
woman receiving it would make cop
les of the offer and send them to five
of her friends, has been ended at
last, after several months, by Uncle
Sam The dead letter Office at Wash
ington is yet swamped with tons of
mail, of the fraud orders. At last
accounts, nearly $4,000 in money
had come in, all in dimes. If the
women who sent ten cents are ex-
pecting to receive petticoats they
are apt to be disappointed The
dead letter Office will try to send the
money back, and, in many cases has,
and even this work will involve a
lot of expense for the postal service.
People should distinguish between
such fake offers as this and legiti-
mate mail-order houses offers, but
we are sorry to say, many of our
ladies were taken in on this SEEM
ingly attractive proposition--Ness

RURAL ROUTES

The Postoffice Department has de-

rural routes in the next few months
to reduce expenses Inspectors. will
go through the country in the next
few months and examine all roads
which the rural carriers travel and
wherever the conditions of the roads
are found bad, routes will be discon-
tinued. Roads which show neglect
will be more apt to be condemned
than those which have been put in
first class condition. One careless
overseer in a township may be re-
sponsible for the loss of a route

may be true: If more churches

would be ardent church enthusiasts.

town had gone to considerable trou-
BILE to handle all notices sent in by
this church, and had published them

ward. At Christmas time, the

notice was a check covering the cost

GRIFFITH WILL
RAISE $4,000

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept a.
Clark Grifith. manager of the Wash
ington Senators. has ordered $4,000
worth Of baseball material to be fur
nished the men of the national army
who are to be trained on American
soil
Griffith hasn't the money In hand
to pay for the supplies, but will at
tend the first worlds series game in
Chicago and the first in New York
At that time he will take it upon him
self to raise, by popular subscription,
the needed amount. He plans to furn-
ish each of the sixteen environments
with enough baseball supplies to last
the men while training in America.
In the meantime Griffith continues
to send baseball supplies to the sol
diers and sailors in France Just an
idea of the magnitude of Griff's prepa-
ration might be cleaned from the fact
that already he has ordered 500 doz-
en- baseball bats. Every manufacturer
of basebll goods in America will be
called upon to fill the mammoth order

Mrs. Bessie Rhodehamel
Tells How Tanlac Built Up
Her Health.

Mrs. Bessie Rhodehamel, of East
haven avenue, this city, said she no
ticed improvement and felt better be-
fore she had taken all of her first
bottle of Tanlac.
"All of the first bottle of Tanlac
wasn't gone yet when I began to feel
better" Mrs Rhodehamel said
II had had bad stomach for long
time. After eating my stomach would
fill up with gas and sometimes just
felt like I'd smother. I usually felt
bad for a long time after meals. I
often had weak feeling in my stom-
ach, too, ard at times I'd feel faint
and exhausted
my husband had tried Tanlac and
1t helped him so l decided to take it.
My stomach is in much better condi-
ton now although l haven't taken a
full bottle Of Tanlac yet. The gas
has disappeared from my stomach and
the smothering spells are about all
gone. The truth is that / feel better
In every way and I'm ready to recon-
mend Tanlac'
Many Richmond men and women
are taking Tanlac If you are not
feeling right why don't you try Tan
lac and get your system back in
shape? 1t will build you up and i'm
prove your health just it's doing for
thousands of other weakened men and
women. Get Tanlac today at any
good drug store In Richmond.

COACH
IS PESSIMISTIC

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 28.-The
effect of the war on the Purdue foot
ball squad this fall remains to be
seen because so many of the prospec-
tive candidates for the team entered
various branches of the government
service.
Although the call for football men
named Sept. 16 as the date for the be-
ginning of football practice the men
assembled slowly and until after school
begins it is not known here just how
many of the old players to expect.
Because of the conditions Coach Cleo
A O'Donnell is not very optimistic.
Among the football men who have
made known their intention to be in
the game are Capt. Berns, Hume.
Bartlett, Hart, Huffine, Allen, Mc-Don-
aid, Cooley, Spencer and Harver.
One change In the coaching staff
has been necessitated by the selection
of Ward Lambert as director of ath-
letics at Camp Taylor at Louisville.
A man to take his place will have to
be obtained. The schedule:
Oct. 6.-Franklin at Purdue.
Oct. 13-DePauw at Purdue.
Oct. 20.-Chicago at Chicago
Oct. 27.-Illinois at Illinois.
Nov. 3.-Northwestern at Purdue
Nov. 10.-Open.
Nov. 17.-Wabash at Purdue.

Why People Should Trade at Home

There are two kinds of persistent buyers Of foreon qoods-the ones who can never get what they want" at home, and the ones who can buy it so much cheaper from the eataog houses. If the first of these "evils? would really evince de- sire to trade at home there is question but the many large stores with their alert force of salcsmen would very soon be able to supply every want, meet every demand would give equally if not more satis- faction and service than could be gotten by sending away for things
 Here one may have this or that sent home on approval--may chcose lesurey with the aid Of fam y and friends to insure ultimate satisfaction. If there are alterations to be made (when perchance the article to be purchased is something for man or woman to wear) they done cheerfully without charges and i after, you wish to change your mind and think something else would please you more why you exchange or even get your money back
 This is service, it costs money, and naturally must be added to the value of merchandise, for it gives added value to the merchandise.

Why It Pays to Buy AT HOME
Buy at Home

Every one knows what parasite is: something that takes all it can get, and makes no return. Every one hates parasite because of this unfair mode of living-take all, give none. But in Pine Bluff there are parasites on the city. They are the people who receive their incomes from Pine Bluff, but spend their money out of the city. These out-of-town buyers are as short-sighted as the man who rolled some stones down a hill and waited patiently for them to come back. And when the money doesn't come back MT. Out-of- town Buyer wonders why his wages have been cut or that busi- ness is bad. And this must, happen, because constant drain of money from the city decreases the amount in circulation. This makes what we call "hard times."
 Goods of the same quality may be purchased here as in other cities. If merchant has not what you want he can order it for you. A depleted stock is the result and not the reason of your buying out-of-town. Do you think that merchant will risk capi- tal on SIOck that people Will not buy! And is it not fact that if merchant receives number of calls for cer- tain article, he will put it in stock? And is it not true that merchants will bring in the newest articles of their line if they know they can dispose of them?
 These questions are answered by the following dialogue I happened to overhear the other day. Two la- dies were discussing clothes (of course). One said, T would like to get some of that Khaki Kool ma- terial for a dress, but none of the stores have it here. They all say that they will have some in a few days"
 "Why, dear me" replied the other lady, "Just write up to Little Rock and you will be able to get any shade or pattern you wish. l am sure that you can get it there. Pine Bluff is such wretched town to shop in."
 This proves that since the mer- chants had received several calls for
