Reasons Why Idaho
Farmers Should
Buy Liberty Bonds.

Harvey Alfred. director of farm
markets is closer to the farmcra
of Idaho than any other man.
He was asked for reasons why
the farmers OF Idaho should buy
liberty bonds Read what Har-
vey Alfred, practical farmer has
to say:
"It IL the safest investment any
one can make. It IL secured by a
lisostxAxs ~ 4 he sIlnikeSs StRtss.
insured and defended by its mill
ions of men. For the average
farmer. a liberty bond is exempt
from taxes; il lost. stolen or
burned, it is still secured to him.
1t will double in 17A years. The
money he pays for it is paid back
to him.for the things he produces
"In this country Ne are one
great family. The government is
the head of the household. Let
me illustrate:
"Mr. Smith is the father of ten
sons. One has retired, possessing
great wealth; one is manufact-
urer; another is n mining man;
two are common laborers. three
are farmers, and two are strong
young fighting men.
t. .The father sends the fighting
men to the front for the common
good. They must be moved, fed
and equipped Tor war. 10 get
funds. the father calls on the s
sons to loan him money at 4 pei
cent interest. The wealthy re.
tired son subscribes SIC, 900
the manufacturer $5 900, the two
common laborers, $50 each. tn,
three farmers 5000 each. and tn.
mining man $1,000.
"The father buys necessities
from the mining man, the manu-
facturer and the farmers, paying
them the money he has borrowed
Nearly all Of it returns to the pro
!. ducers. not according to TIN
wealth each owned, but III pro
portion to the amount each pro
duccd from the never ending
supply of nature.
"ln the end. each son will hav
returned to him the amount h
loaned the father with the inter
est accrued.
Under our system OF Incom
tax bonds will be paid for largel
bv the well-to-do. The poor ma
and to Il lesser extent, the r1c
man, gains the benefit OF the IN
terest rate on all the money loar
I'd to the government.
1.-The reasons to be given 10
. farmers buying liberty bond
must be apparent to all who WI
. give earnest consideration to OF
present needs and the benefit
derived.

The Dearest Woman Imaginable
and With Sweetest of
Blue Eyes
BY ANNE AUSTIN, IN WACO, TEXAS,
MORNING NEWS. G

wish every girl could know
her.
She is the dearest little woman
imaginable. She is pretty, with
the sweetest of blue eyes, and the
softest of voices. Her clothes are
up TO the minute, her hats chic.
and she wears the prettiest of two
tone kid boots. Best of all, she is
the mother OF three grown daugh-
ters and is grandma to eight grand
children.
She knows girls from the tops
of their heads to the tips of their
white boots, and she loves every
one of them. / looked steadily
into her face during an hours
meeting at the First Presbyterian
church, one Sunday, and | felt as
if / had seen St. Cecilia. The
only word which describes the
sweet calm and dignity of her is
sanity
She has taught girls, has girls
of her own, and lives with girls
just as much as possible. She was
the head of the religious depart
ment of Methodist college for
years.
She is going to talk to young
girls and to young ladies on Sat
urday afternoon, at the Austin
Avenue church at O'Clock. !
wish every girl could go to hear
her, for she is going to talk, heart
to heart. with girls, out of the
abundance of her knowledge and
experience. You will all like her
and she likes You beforehand.
Her name is Mrs. w. M. McIn
tosh, wife of the Methodist evan
gelist who has been conducting
services in Waco, and she is worth
knowing.

FIGHTING THE T. B.

Ready to tight with a vim,
Reckon you know I'm a soldier
And that ! want to win.
I'm fighting against old T. B.,
You know he's powerful foe.
When once he turns upon you.
You've got to fight or go
Straight to the junk pile forever;
That is while on earth you stay.
So listen to me, dear people,
And do try to keep him away,
Don't give him chance to attack
you,
His army is stationed about
In so many different places,
Though he seldom does come out
Into the beautiful sunlight,
He prefers the damp and gloom,
His work is most destructive
In a poorly ventilated room.
So the best weapons with which to
fight him
Is plenty of good nourishing food
And plenty of air, rest and sun
shine,
And walays cheerful mood.
When first he came upon me
| had an awful cold.
He came without my knowledge,
AT first he wasn't bold,
And before | was aware,
His work he had begun,
His work of tearing down
The tissues of my lung.
AT first had a hacking cough,
Was very hoarse, you see,
And, somehow, all the time felt
AS tired as | could be.
Oh, then if | had only done
AS my Doctor wished ne to,
| feel that now might have been
As we'll as most of you.
But then / did not understand,
Somehow | tried to doubt,
Some said | had Mysteries,
So tried to wear it out,
Soon | was running temperature
And splitting rubies too,
Twas then fully realized
| had some work TO do.
And now for many. many months.
I've fought with might and main,
Sometimes with a single weapon
Pve fought on just the same.
Sometimes it seemed that II. B.
Was going TO win the fight,
III confess I've been discouraged,
But | kept on, day and night.
Tho recently I've been out of
heart,
To my feelings I've given way,
Somehow it hardly seemed worth
while,
To fight another day.
But this morning Pm back on duty,
10 is.t triLthe Dattle'S through.
! don'l mean to ever give up again
But do all that | can do.
After the battle is over
You may find me with the slain,
But feel that in a fairer world
My soul shall live again.
So if | do not win this fight.
There's another victory, see
A victory that I've fought to gain,
Far more than I've fought t. B.
But I'm on duty this morning,
And busy | must be,
For you see ! mean to do my best
To conquer old T. B,

MRS. HAMILTON HAS GAIN

Was in Wretched Health Before
Taking Tanlac, and Fell off
Until She Was Almost a Liv-

IF you had seen me before

not believe it was the same per-
son talking to you now,' said Mrs
Emma E Hamilton, one of the
best known residents of Ensley,
Ala. in telling of the remarkable
results she had obtained from the
use of Tanlac, the medicine that
is accomplishing such wonderful
results in the south.
Just think of it - continued
Mrs Hamilton. Il have gained
eighteen pounds since | began
taking the medicine, and / have
only taken two bottles.
II suffered from nervous
breakdown, land for nineteen
months have been i'm wretched
health, had no appetite and the
little | ate did more harm than
good, and my sleep was very poor.
| was SO weak and felt so miser.

me from breakfast until supper to
get my housework finished, for l
would have to stop every few
minutes and rest. | was too
played out to keep on the go.
took all kinds of treatme Mt, but
nothing did me any good, and l
just kept getting worse all the
time. 1t seemed like | was losing
strength everv day, and ! lost
weight until | was almost living
skeleton.
My husband begged me to try
Tanlac, and just to please him l
bought bottle. | have just fin.
ished up my second bottle. and l
tell you | wouldn't take FIVE hun.
dred dollars for the good it has
done me. 1t strengthened me up
right from the start, gave me
good appetite. and everything I
eat agrees with me perfectly and
sleep fine.
AS have already said, | have
gained eighteen pounds, and be-
lieve | am the happiest woman in
town, aud l believe / have right
to be. / feel simply fine in every
way.
My friends are asking me
what have been doing to myself
to look so much better. and, of
course, ] tell them that Tanlac is
responsible. / believe it is the
best medicine ever sold over a
drug store counter.
Yes, sir, you are perfectly well
coined to use my statement in the
papers, and ! am only too glad to
be able to let the people know
what this wonderful medicine will
do for the sick. ] believe anyone
in the shape / was in will find
entire relief with Tanlac.
