LOYAL TEMPERANCE LEGION
CELEBRATE THE FOURTH
Many Young Hearts Are Made Glad
By Song and Verse.

The members of the Loyal Tenn
perance Legion We're guests of their
leader, Mrs. R. E. Bell, in an open
air celebration of the Fourth of
July, the occasion being "safe and
sane" after the most approved and
up-to-date style. The young guests
assembled on the Methodist church
lawn, at five o'clock, where the red.
white and blue greeted them on ali
sides IN waving banners and hang
!lngs OF the patriotic colors. Rollick-
ing games kept the children in high
giee, and lemonade, served at inter
walls, kept them refreshed.
A short, but very pleasing pro-
gram, impressed each one with the
significance of the day. After a sa-
Lutte to cold Glory" they sang with
the understanding America" "The
Star Spangled Banner" and a stir
ring temperance song. This outburst
OF patriotism was preceded by the
twenty-third psalm and the Lords
prayer in concert 1t was a revela-
ton to hear even the tiny tots ioin-
ing Justify in every word of the songs
and scripture. We venture the as.
sertion that lots of grown-ups coulc
not have made such a good showing.

Says a Glass of Hot Water
Every Morning Before
Breakfast Will Take
Off Fat If You Get
More Fresh Air.
Be Moderate in Your Diet and Re.
duce Your Weight With Tassco.

Lack of fresh air weakens the
oxygen-carrying power of the blood.
the liver becomes sluggish, fat accu-
mulates and the action of many of
the vital organs are hindered there
by. The heart action becomes weak,
work is an effort and the beauty of
the figure is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is un-
healthy and if nature is not assisted
IN throwing it off by increasing the
oXygen-carrying power of the blood,
a serious case of obesity may result,
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure
has become joke and your health
ruined through carrying around a
burden of unsightly and unhealthy
fat.
Spend as much time as YOU posi-
ply can in the open air; breathe deep
ly, and get from the Dawson Drug
Co., and Williams Pharmacy, She'll
man, box of Tassco, take a glass
OF not water every morning before
breakfast then take Tassco after
each meal and at bedtime.
Weigh yourself every few DAYS and
Keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Tassco is absolute
ly harmless, is pleasant to take, helps
the digestion and is designed to in
crease the oxygen-carrying power Of
the blood.
Even a few days treatment should
show a noticeable reduction in
weight. There is nothing better for
obesity.

The Importance of our president s
stand on the dry question at this time
is manifestly paramount. A complete
prohibition measure at this critical
period would throw thousands out of
employment, destroy an industry of
enormous size, eliminate a very easy
means of indirect taxation, most neces-
sary now, and lead to more or less
confusion. Considering the small per
cent-it amounts to not more than Il
or one per cent of the total grain of
the country, which is used in the
manufacture of liquors, and great
proportion at that, of which is not a
stable food grain, rye, it seems a ques-
However, it has been made so. Com
mon sense informs us what a danger
Gus proceeding it would be to give an
established industry like this a knock
out blow now-and still ship an i'm
mense amount of grain to England and
France, both countries of which are
permitting and probably will continue
to do so, according to Field Marshal
Joffre, the manufacture of light alcho-
holic beverages. 1t is nonsensical that
we can afford to furnish the brewing
and distilling industries of England
and France, as we know we are obliged
to-. yet that we cannot afford at this
time to allow our own breweries to
continue their business.
