Every man who gets within range of booming guns ill France passes through a baptism of ''shellitis," ac- cording to an interesting letter just received here from Lawrence Cop ley Thaw, year-old son of Edward Thaw.
 "Shellitis,' writes young Mir. Thaw, is a malady that overtakes soldiers unaccustomed to the roar of artillery as soon as a shell drops close enough to be an actual menace to their health or possibly life. It takes a varying period to recover from it. In his own case it was a few days before he no longer felt the effect of the war malady.

zales Citizen Announced

l.. A. Ambeau, of Gonzales, has
been appointed conservation agent
for the parish of Ascension and ad-
Jacent territory. He will qualify to-
day before Clerk of Court J. S. Bar
man, and will at once enter actively
upon the discharge of the duties of the

give close attention to the enforce
ment Of the laws protecting the wild
life of the state, and asks for the CO.
operation and assistance of all hunt
ers and sportsmen in securing rigid
observation of the regulations on
this subject. He intends to put a
stop to the shooting of game out of
season, particularly doves and squir-
rels, and warns all who have been
guilty of this violation of the law that
the practice must be stopped i'm
mediately. The squirrel season does
not open until October /, and the dove
season until November /, but reports
are current that the killing of these
animals and birds has already been
commenced in certain sections. Any
one having knowledge of such viola
tions should bring the matter to the
attention of the conservation agent,
who promises to make vigorous eff
fort to call the offenders to account.
Mr.. Ambeau is a citizen of recog-
nized integrity and high standing, and
should develop into one of the most
competent and reliable of the corps
of officers @vested with the upholding
of the states game laws.
1t may be mentioned in this con-
nection that the sheriff's Office has on
hand supply of hunting licenses for
the coming season and is now pre-
pared to issue the documents at the
price of 81 each. All former licenses
have expired, and no hunting of any
kind can be done under the law until
a new one is secured.

People by the thousands en-.
dorse Tanlac right here in Vir-
ginia, just think of it. Elder
~ folks feeble and weak are
being built up, their blood en-
riched and purified of the uric
acid and other poisons causing
them trouble. Kidney trouble
according to their own tcsti-
mony vanishes completely; all
the aches and pains depart. If
so troubled buy n bottle of
LTanlnc and n 25c bottle of Kimo
San Oil, The oil soothes the
aching muscles, back and Joints
while Tanlac taken internally
works slowly and surely
towards permanent cure. APP
ply the oil direct to seat of

ideal treatment for even the
worst cases. Tnnlac is sold
only through the Mutual Drug
Company, Big Stone Gap, and
