Little Girl Now
Plays Like Others
Capt. T. M. Harrell Says Tanlac
Gave His Child Health.

Ut wouldn't be doing right not
tell you what your medicine has
done for our little GIRL" said
Captain 7. M. Harrell, of Allan
ia, conductor on the Seaboard
Air Line for 25 years and one of
the most popular men in the
service.
She's II years DID," he con-
tinued, land has been a little
sufferer all her life weak, puny,
nervous, no appetite, no con-
troll over her kidneys and had
heaeaches almost all the time.
THE child never was strong
even from the cradle, and when
she got a little older and would
try to play with the other child
ren and was too weak to romp
and keep up with them, it just
didn't seem right, for she SEEM
ed so anxious to be with them
and do as they did. 1t made me
mighty sad and brought many a
big lump into my throat to see
her that way, and somehow |
never could get used to it.
There was nothing on earth
too good for her, and we did
everything we could think of to
try and rid her of the pains and
weakness and make her like
other children; but nothing
seemed to do her any good.
1T has always been a great
worry to get something for her
to eat that would agree with her,
and it was a disheartening job,
too for almost everything would
give her heartburn or sour
stomach or cause her to wake up
in the night with pains. We'd
try first one thing after another,
and when every thing would fail
we would feel disheartened and
helpless.
There is nothing quite so
oppressive as the feeling that
gets hold of you when a little
one Of your own flesh and blood
is sick and helpless and depend
ing on you, and you can't find
anything or earth to help them.
Il saw in the paper where
Tanlac was helping so many
women and elderly people with
delicate vital organs, and who
Were in weak and rundown con-
ditions, and as | studied over the
matter | didn't see why it
wouldn't help children, so / got
the child a bottle for | believed
it was the right thing.
Il just can't tell you how
much good il has done her, for
she seems ike a different child.
She's picking up weight and
strength right along, has control
oTer her kidneys and sleeps and
e s as well as any youngster l
ever saw.
Tanlac has given my child
health and happiness, do be-
lieYe, and I don't think there is
anything like it in the world.
She now plays and romps like
the others and is just crazy
about her Tanlac. Just now she
phoned ME from our home in
Ingleside to be sure and get her
a new bottle.
She goes to school now, is
jolly and playful and enjoys
life"

YOUTH

I met Youth faring up the hill
Twas thirty years ago
And he was singing with a will,
''Yo-he, my lads, yo-ho!
For soon," said he, Il shall grow
gray,
And life will lose its song
So up the hill sing my way,
sing my way along"
I met Youth faring on the road
Twas twenty years ago
Upon his back he bore a load,
Yet still he sang "Yo-ho"
Yes. still ''Yo-hon and still "Yo-heI"
Right merrily he sung:
'what matter ten brief years to me
II still my heart is young?"
! met Youth on the mountain trail
Twas Just ten years ago
And he had breasted many a gale
And many a night of snow.
But stil / heard above the storm
The carol of his song:
For still with youth my heart is
warm
And still I sing along"
met Youth on the downward hill
Twas only yesterday
And he was singing with a will
The old. accustomed way.
For have found" he said, said he,
CNow gray his hair of gold).
For I have found" he said, that
we,
We never do grow old!"

HOLLAND LETTER
The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature Of
the Country's Best Newspaper

The officers in charge of the draft
in New York City are reported as
having said that very few of those
who are of Italian birth or parentage
who were in this way called to the
colors have claimed exemption. In a
me jority of cases these drafted men
of Italian blood appear enthusiastic
ally to have welcomed the oppor-
tunity to begin a soldiers life for the
United States and our allies. A like
report has come from Boston. and
other reports not quite so authorita-
tive have reached New York from
various cities which show the same
spirit on the part of the drafted men
of Italian blood as has been mani
tested in New York and in Boston.
Another interesting fact associated
with the making of our new army is
the authoritative report that 70 per
cent of the soldiers who are now in
the camp at Yaphank, Long Island,
are of the Hebrew race and Jewish
faith.
The relation Of Italy to the war
and what may prove to be the tri-
umphant aid which Italy is to give in
terminating the war have not been
we'll understood by the American
people for the reason that Italy has
been overshadowed by France and by
Great Britain so far as public inter-
est here is concerned.
But the government at Washington
is well informed of the various pro-
gressiYe steps Italy has taken and
some of our business leaders have re-
ceived information respecting the In
tensive preparatory work done by
Italy since she entered the war which
compels admiration. 1t is the man.
ner in which Italy prepared and when
at last completed preparations which
have justified the government in
making advances to Italy and will
justify such further advances as may
be asked. So also England, while
busily occupied in her preparations
nevertheless, having learned in detail
what the plans of the italian leaders
were, cordially aided Italy not only
with money but with various sup.
plies.
From an authoritative source it was
learned this morning that at the be-
ginning of the war the leading in
fluences in Italy realized that the
kingdom was utterly unprepared for
beginning hostilities. There were sew
eral reasons for this condition. A
great deal of German money was in
Italy. Germany had financed much of
the public undertakings for the Ital-
ian government. Although Italy did
not contemplate war with Germany
but only with Austria. nevertheless

Mr.. Bryan and the War.

81 don't know how long the war
will last. but no matter how long it
may last, 1 know that the quickest
way out is straight through"
In these words William Jennings
Bryan has rewritten his name on the
American political map, and undone
much of the evil that has been done
in his name-done by persons who
have traficked in his reputation for
their own selfish ends.
Mr.. Bryan will have none of the
mealy-mouthed pacifism. none of this
equivocal, hot-and-cold patriotism
which persists in covertly assailing
the President and his policies. None
opposed war more stoutly than he;
but he acqu!esces in the fact of war,
and furthermore, sees that the con-
ceniration of all national energies for
the defeat of the enemy is the
quickest way out" He put all the
cepperheads and the pro-Germans to
shame.
The form premier says. with q
deeisiveness that no man could
excel, that this is our war;" that
it is our duty to support our allies,
for If We allow them to fail, we fail
ourselves, and any neglect in fur
nishing them with men or money
would compel US to fight out the war
aloLe.''
Not much comfort for pacifsts,
nonresidents. and conscientious OBJ
jectors'' in that. 1t is about as
strong a war position as could be
taken. It may be. indeed. that Mr.
Bryan has experienced change o;
heart-that he sees there are some
things in this world worth fighting
for. and even sacrificing flesh and

Consider the Regulars.

II Is but natural that the conyen-
tion OF the various Federal Unions
OF the United States should devote
considerable time to the discussion of
salaries. Their resolutions adopted
yesterday are absolutely logical and
just
Ihis Is the day of large salaries.
Every branch OF industry in the coun-
try is feeling the condition and the
government must bear its share.
During the last session of Congress
The Herald instituted a campaign
which resulted in obtaining partial
increases for a number of the en-
7loyes of the government. These in
creases which We're to be for a per-
riod of one year, were obtained only
after conditions of actual poverty
among certain employees Of the gov
ernment, had been brought to the at
tention of Congress.
There is no doubt but that these
increases will be retained after the
year specified, because Congress will
be forced to retain them or face the
alternative of having the government
lose a number of valued employes
For salaries have risen to such a fig
ure on the outside that a government
job will no longer be attractive.
But these increases are not enough.
They are step in the right direction,
but they need to be followed by more
radical steps. The resolutions of the
convention should be put before Con-
gress at once and they should re-
ceive immediate attention from that
body.
One particular reason why the
wages Of Civil Service workers should
be Increased is the fact that the gov
ernment for some time past has been
calling in extra workers to handle
war work. These people are being
paid salaries very much in excess of
the regular workers pay, while in
many cases they are green hands
and not near so valuable as the regu-
lar Civil Service employees. This is
an unjust condition, the remedy of
which lies only in a reasonable in
crease in the wages of regular gov
ernment workers.
Congress can do some advantage
GUS work in this direction, from which
our country will reap the benefit.

Argentina Breaks with Germany.

One important objective of the
Lansing expose two weeks ago has
been gained-Argentina has broken
/, with Germany.
The vote of the Argentine Sem
ate, % to l in favor Of q severence
Of diplomatic relations. can be in
terpreted in no other way than as
an index of an overwhelming and
belligerently anti-German sentiment
among the people of the Latin
American republic.
1t is doubtless the forerunner of
war between Argentina and Ger
many. The twilight zone" known
as break of relations is intolerable
on both sides. The United States
found It so after a two months
test between February and April
Of the present year. That Ar
/ gentina also will find it so, par
ticularly if Germany persists in sub
marining her ships. among other
neutrals. as she will doubtless con-
tinue to do.
The effect of the Argentinian ac-
ton will be far-reaching-it brings
to the support OF the United States
the most powerful OF the Latin
American nations, and therefore
means an immediate strengthening
of the Pan-American bond; but fur
ther than that. 1t means the ulti-
mate eradication OF the powerful
Germanic commercial grip on South
America, and therefore makes our
work of commercial penetration
among our southern neighbors that
much easier.
1t is an important step in effect
ing the utter and complete isola-
tion of Germany. What other ma
tions-aside from the group of
weaker ones contiguous to her-now
recognize the outcast Prussian?
In South America. his last strong
hold the two strongest republics
have scorned Tuetonic blandish-
ments and have thrown their moral
assistance to the defenders of civil
lization.
The Argentine action should have
material effect in showing the
German people the real nature of
the iron ring" that is encirclins
them' and in exposing the fatuous
hope held out to them by their
masters that a victorious peace"
VIII be theirs if they only keen
on lighting long enough. 1t should
show them that their enemies are
constantly growing stronger; it
should show them that their diplo-
macy Is bankrupt and broken reed,
that it is leading them not to the
promised land, but to catastrophe.
