HAD PLENTY TO EAT, BUT NO APPETITE
Declares He Had Bad Case of Stomach Trouble and Began Going Down Hill. Gains 25
 Pounds on
 Tanlac.

It may sound unreasonable, and you may believe me or not, but after taking four bottles of this Tanlac medicine I have ac- actually gained 25 pounds, '" said J. B. Williams, a well-known and prosperous farmer who re- sides at Greenbrier, Tenn, near Nashville, Tenn.
 T had a bad case of stomach trouble and it came pretty near knocking me out, continued MT. Williams. It was some thing like nervous indigestion. l began to go down hill. Itlooked like the more medicine l took and the heardier tried to get well, the worse l would get. We had pretty near everything to eat, but nothing, tasted right. and I got SO weak and nervous l couldn't do anything, in fact, was just completely knocked out.
 Before 1 had this spell l weighed 160 pounds, and kept falling off until I got down to where I only weighed 135 pounds.
 T am now back to my regular weight again, and feel strong and well. My appetite is simply fine now, and l don't mind my work. This medicine just tcok right hold of me, and put me on my feet.
 Well, sir, the second day after 1 began taking it, l got hungry and oh, how good that old ham did taste. l sleep fine now too, and am not nervous like 1 ~as. Even the barking of the dogs at night does not wake me up.
 II never believed medicine could be made that would do any body as much goodas Tanlac done me, and 1 want to recommend it to anybody who has suffered with the same trouble 1 have. "
 Tanlac is sold in Brinkley eX- clusively by M. B. Converse; in Clarendon by w. E, Everett; in Holly Grove by the Holly Grove Drug Co.,; in Hunter by Hunter Drug & Mercantile Co.,; and in Zent by P. R. Anderson, and in Duncan by c. R. Gordon.

THERE'S more money in old Monroe county now than was ever known before, even if she has given over $32,0OO for Red Cross during the past month.
The Brinkley argus., 1917-07-13

THE months are going on the Sheriff and Collector has collected the greatest amount of money from Monroe county tax payers ever collected in one year before, the people have a half million dollars invested in motor cars, and yet with all this the county roads are just about as rough and as bad as ever known before at this time of the year. If County Judge Trlce should desire monument for himself, it would be easy for him to have it, if he would but get in the push and organize the county road forces for real action now.

Among the Farmers

Supt. Jas. M. Dickson of the Tippecanoe Ranch, reports that he has his entire rice crop of 18J acres flooded with the possible exception of about l5 acres. They have in 50 acres of corn, 5 acres of sorghum, 10 acres of peas, and everything is doing nicely.
 Report comes from Capt. A. F, Maberry, over on Cache river, that crops are bone dry over there and corn is suffering. The good people are happy with it all and have written to the Shiloh folk that they would like to at- tend the song service and have their choir participate in the contest. The Woodruff county singers have a choir at old Ebe- nezer church, 3 miles west of Cotton Plant and they say they have one of the best choirs in the country. Pm hoping that the Shiloh folk will invite them down and see which is the best at singing.

HOch Der Whisky!
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The kasers greatest ally is whisky.
This | say, because whatever saps the
strength of America. lowers its efficiency,
and steals its wholesome food, is mani
testify playing into the hands of Ameri-
cas- enemy.
Women may economic in the kitchen,
can the beans and cabbage, save the
crusts, and skimp the butter, but one
saloon will waste more human energy
over the bar in one day than they will
conserve in week
Why plant your front lawns in pots
toes and raise carrots instead of gera-
NUNS in your window garden; why eat
corn pone instead of white bread. and
fried rice for steak, and all that sort of
thing. when every pound of food you are
saving TO make men strong is doubly du-
plicated by the still, which f0ws to make
men weak?
Every glass of booze that passes over
the mahogany bar in the drinking place
does as much damage 70 the manhood OF
the nation as ten-inch shell fired from
one Of the kaiser's Krupps.
For whisky never did any good and
never will do any good. Every ounce
of it means lowering life's efficiency.
1t makes the muscle habby. 1t OBJ
force.
Every drop of whisky means so much
less honesty loyalty, courage and intel
ligence.
The kaiser could make no shrewder
move than TO subsidize every grog shop
in America, TO keep on at full blast,
ladling out the stuff that takes the
stamina out of this great people.
Nobody, no nation, can conquer Amer
lea. But America can rot. She can guz-
zle her beloved poison and sing to maud
lin weakness, while she pirates of per
sonal liberty" and slobbers. in congress
and out, over the vested rights Of poison
sellers.
General Organ, in a recent letter to
his fellow soldiers. used this language:
Our job is to whip the enemy hard
and with the least loss to ourselves. In
training our military machines 10 do this
We must eliminate back-lash, rattles and
useless loads. We must have every part
healthy, strong and dependable; no part
defective, diseased or obsolete
This cannot be if we are to permit
booze in any form into our military ma
chine. Alcohol, whether you call it beer,
wine. whisky, or by any other name, is a
breeder of inefficiency While it affects
men differently. the results are the same,
in that all affected by it cease for the
time TO be normal. Some become forget
full others quarrelsome. Some become
noisy. some get sick, some get sleepy;
others have their passions greatly slim
ulated. When you stop to consider the
thousands in division, do you not see
how vital TO efficiency is the elimination
Of liquor? If one officer or man is per-
mitted to use liquor then others will
claim the right TO do so. How can a di-
vision Of troops be ever ready-ever up
on the bit to drive ahead or TO thrust
back the enemy's drive-if thru the pres
ence of this insidious evil some soldiers
forget their orders or become noisy when
silence is essential, fall asleep when every
faculty should be alert, or absent from
their posts?"
Hurrah for the saloon! Long live per-
sonal liberty! Hoch der whisky!
