early morning fire which broke out about

between 5000 and $1,000. partly covered by

home of Mrs. Mary Gage would also be
destroyed by the flames, but the hose

confined the fire to the Miller house.
Lightning is believed to be the cause of
the fire.

THE KINGS.

BY Hugh j. Hughes.
The Kings are dying! In blood and
flame
Their sun is setting to rise no more,
They have played too long at the an.
cient game
or their bluer blood and the bolted
door.
Now the blood OF their betters is on
their hands
The blood OF the peasant. the child,
the maid;
And there are no waters in all the
lands
Can battle them clean Of the dark
stain laid.
They have sinned in malice and crav.
en- fear
For the sake OF their tinsel have
led us on
To the hate-built trench and the death
drop sheer,
But the day will come when the
Kings are gone.
The Kings. are dying. Beat, o drums
The world wide roll OF the demo
crat!
o bugles. cry out for the day that
m
When the Kings that were shall be
marveled at!

DRAFT BOARD APPEALS.

Will some one who knows please
tell Us, why, when a local board who
can know all the circumstances re-
garding and surrounding a claim for
make a decision, the person so decid-
ed against should take an appeal to
a board composed of men from all
over the state. Would 1t be logical
that this state board would be better
able to say what was the best to be
done? Would 1t be sensible to think
that IL men who live in the country
will certify a man for service, that
they had done 1t from spite, from ig-
oranc or from lack OF good judg-
ment?
1t would seem that in cases where
an actual knowledge Of the facts are
Of the most Importance, that those
who live ear the scene Of those facts
would be better able to give a just
decision. 1t is perhaps wise to estab-
lish these appeal boards, but 1t does
seem that the local board is better
able to give the case closer attention
than the board who sits at the state
capital. Some cases will be appealed
because the parties do not believe
that the local board has taken a
broad enough view of the matter, and
in that instance such cases may be
grouped by the state board and a gen.
eral rule applied to all cases of the
same character.
However we do believe that the To-
cal board in most every instance will
give the best decision that can be rem
dered in the premises.

Complimentary Breakfast-On last
Thursday morning about 7 o'clock,
twelve young ladies wendell their way
TO the College Grove in honor OF Miss
Lenore Browning, who left with her

GENERAL DELIVERY.

The experiment has been tried In
Aberdeen of having a delivery com.
pany do all the work for the torres
of the town. 1t was SO successful
persuaded the same company to come
to their town and start a branch. This
is just in line with the idea OF saving
the waste and why Brookings does
not follow in the footsteps Of her sis
ter cities, Is more han human mind
can understand.
or course one merchant tells US
that the two-a-day deliveries that
were started, have had to be increased
because their customers would not
stand for it. II all the customers
found that all of the merchants had
adopted a plan and would live up to
1t, there would have been not a kick
that would have amounted to much.
The whole trouble is, that the mer-
chants will not pull together, on this
matter. Why? They made the early
closing stick and stick tight. If they
will go about the other idea with an
intent to make that stick they can
do 1t.
Just think, here we are with a real
war on hand. Prices up, profits
down, wages soaring. no discounts, no
returns, everything tight as wax.
You merchants are talking of what
you have to do to make both ends
meet. Here is a plan hat will save
expense, you had better do it now be
fore you have to cut off the deliveries
all together. And your customer had
better not be too proud to carry home
a little parcel, for 1t may not be long
before you will have to carry them
all home.

II CROW'S-NEST

I.
Someone has estimated that there
are four motor cars to every bathtub
in Kansas, Wonder what the proper
ton is in this state,
Evidently some of our autoists did
not read or heed Frank Wings re
marks about honking at band con
certs. Last Friday night several
honkers spoiled the pleasing effect of
a fine rendition of certain numbers by
the discordant din Of their horns when
others were %applauding in the proper
manner An auto horn Is intended
for danger signals and not as a means
of applause.
A prominent efficiency writer main
tains that it costs the average fam.
lily about $40 a year for the doubtful
privilege of having its groceries de-
livered. This estimate, Of course, is
for the average dweller in the larger
cities. In a city Of this size a very
conservative estimate would place the
cost of delivery at SIS a year per
family which orders by telephone. II
some method could be devised and
carried out by which only the bulkier
articles might be delivered by carrier
and more basket shopping should be
practiced 1t would cut the high cost
Of living considerably. 1t will be in
~teresting to watch an effort that Is
being made to encourage the practice
of selecting and buying at a shop and
and carrying ones purchase home
with him each day. 1t looks good to
see persons carrying bundles home,
1t shows that they have business
down town other than to see and be
seen.
Before long we shall begin to feel
the effects OF the vigorous admins
tration Of the national food control
law. Already many provisions Of the
law are in process Of being enforced
and the effects are manifest in sew
eral lines Of commercial activity. 1t
has affected speculation in stocks of
various kinds and boards of trade are
planning to 30 out Of business for
awhile. We may expect to e min.
imum and maximum prices Of foods
established In the near future. q

S. B. TURNER AND
WIFE BOTH MAKE
PHENOMENAL GAIN
GAINS SIXTEEN POUNDS AND
HIS WIFE GAINS THIRTY ONE
PAUNDS-HUSBAND SUFFER
ED OVER EIGHT YEARS.

I'm sixteen pounds heavier than l
was when began taking Tanlac, and,
honestly, I haven't feat as we'll in
eight years as l do now," said S. B.
Turner, well-known painter, of lip
Thirty-tirst street, Savannah.
Il was continually trying for eight
long years to get rid of indigestion"
continued Mr.. Turner. 81 used al
kinds Of medicine, and even tried
starinv it out. All my efforts failed
to bring relief. Every now and then
some new trouble would show up, and
my condition kept getting worse all
the time. My stomach got so weak
and out of order, about all it would
stand was a little milk and eggs. l
could eat no meats or vegetables at
all. My liver was torpid and slug
gish, and / was so nervous | couldn't
get any rest or sound sleep at all. l
would often have dizzy spells and my
head would swim so I wouldn't risk
myself on my ladder for fear of fall
ing, and would have to lie down be-
fore getting relief. I also had rheu-
matism in my right leg, which was
very painful and disabled me so at
times could hardly get about, I was
easily irritated, and the least thing
out of the ordinary would tear my
nerves to pieces and completely up
set me. I was away down in weight
and was so weak and 1ifeless simply
had to use force of will to keep going
at all.
after my wife gained thirty-one
pounds of three bottles of Tanlac and
got relief from her four years of suf-
fering, I began taking It myself. Well,
sir, it's an actual fact. I have gone up
in weight from one hundred and
Acknowledgements to hundred and
forty eight-a net gain of sixteen
| pounds-and 1 have taken only two
bottles of the medicine. All of my
nervousness Is gone and I can now
sleep and rest fine every night. My
appetite was never better than it is
now, and when mealtfne comes I'm
always hungry, and can eat anything
want wtthoutfeeling a sign of indi-
gestion afterwards. I don't have
headache at all now, and I haven't
had dizzy spell since I began tax
ing Tanlac. don't have even touch
of the rheumatism now, and I can
run up and down my ladders as well
as l ever could, and my head doesn't
swim at all. It's a pleasure for me
to recommend Tanlac, and wouldn't
take one hundred dollars for the good
it has done my wife an myself"
Genuine Tanlac is sold only and
exclusively in Pensacola by the Crys,
