FEEL IT THEIR DUTY TO TALK
They Come Forward and Unhesitat-
ingIy Tell Suffering Humanity What
Celebrated Medicine Has
Done for Them.

IT is seldom, indeed, that men of prom.
inence, especially men holding high
public office, willingly express their in
debtedness publicly to a proprietary
medicine. Many prominent men, how
ever, including supreme court judges,
mayors of our leading cities, prominent
state and county officials, bankers, law
yers, doctors, editors, leading educa-
tors, government officials and even min
listers of the Gospel have deemed it
their duty to come forward and tell
the people what TanIac has done for
them.
These well-known men of affairs
have recognized in this medicine a new
discovery and a scientific triumph in
the medical world. 1t is a well-known
fact that these splendid Endorsements
have been given Tanlac time and time
again and they will continue to be
given just as often as new tests of it's
powers are made; and it also explains
why numbers of the big drug firms of
the country are ordering it exclusively
in carload lots.
Doctor Prescribes II.
Ca, one of the best-known members
of the medical profession in the state
of Georgia, makes a statement that
will undoubtedly produce a profound
impression throughout the South.
I'm my thirty years of actual prac-
tice as a licensed physician in the state
of Georgia." says DR.. Edwards, "I
have never seen anything to equal Tan
lac as medicine to produce results.
1 have no hesitancy in recommending
this medicine and I am prescribing it
for my patients almost every day."
Professor G. T. Clotfelter, prominent
educator and principal of the High
School at Ben Hill, Ca, says: 81 was

feared l would have to give up my
duties. / suffered from rheumatism,

ious headaches. have taken bottles
of Tanlac and feel better than 1 have
felt in years."
Noted Texan Talks.
Hon. Archie r. Anderson, ex-sheriff
of Harris County, Texas, is unques-
tionably not only one of the best
known. but one of the most popular
men that ever held office in Texas. He
served the people in this important Of
tice for Is consecutive years.
Il had the worst form of indiges-
ton, suffered all the time from gas on
my stomach and was continually belch-

derson. II suffered with neuralgia

seemed to hello me except in a tenn
porary way.

III. w. Hill, president of one of the
eading banking Institutions of South
Pittsburg, Tenn, and one of the most
successful bankers and business men

first, the formation of precincts, called
posts; second. county unions. called

known as departments, and the ma
tional organization formed originally
of two delegates from each depart
ment.
The declaration of principles. clear
statement of the fraternal, patriotic
and charitable purpose of the new or
ganization, was introduced by para
graph in high-sounding and rounded
phraseology after the style of the
times, as follows: .
Army of the United States dur
ing the war of 1861-1s65 actuated by
the impulse and convictions of pa
triotism and eternal right; combined
In the strong bonds of fellowship and
unity by the tolls, the dangers and
the victories Of long and vigorously
waged war, feel themselves called on
to declare In definite form of words,
and In determined cooperative ac-
| ton, those principles and rules which
should guide the earnest patriot, the
enlightened freeman and the Chris
tian citizen in his course of action,
and to agree upon those plans and
laws which should govern them In q
united and systematic working meth
cd with which in some measure shall
be effected the preservation of the
grand results of the war, the fruits
OF their labor and toll, so as to bene-
| ut the deserving and worthy"
The Grand Army organization, It
| appears, at first made little headway
| In the various states. In two years but
thirteen states were permanently or
ganized. the order being Illinois, Wis
consin. Pennsylvania. Ohio, New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, Maine, California, Nevada, Rhode
Island. New Hampshire and Vermont.
The chief cause of the slow progress
seemed to be that the soldiers had be-
come weary Of organization in the In
effective clubs already referred to,
which had grown into popular disfavor,
and almost total disruption was threat
ened by the Indifference and opposition
of those who at first conceived the G.
A. X. to be some sort of secret So
ciety of partisan proclivities.
MANY wise heads, however, recog-
Ivl nized the power for good in the or
ganlzatlon, and its future prosperity
was happily assured by the adoption
of resolution of the national en-
campment OF 1868 that the purpose OF
the G.. A. X. is 'to secure the rights
of these defenders Of their country, by
all moral, social and political means in
our control"
Emphasis was appropriately placed
on the primary objects of the organi-
zation to maintain and strengthen the
fraternal feelings which bind together
the soldiers and marines of the Civil
war, to perpetuate the memory and
history of those who have died. and to
lend assistance to the needy and to
their widows and orphans. and all dis
tinctlons of party. creed, rank or color
were eliminated.

retire in favor of the army men; con
sequently clubs and societies of sol

everywhere. There was soon a great

TT WAS while upon the campaign
i of Sherman's expedition to Meridian,
Fla, in 1864 that Chaplain Rutledge
is said to have made the fruitful sug-
gestion to Major Stephenson that
soldiers so closely allied in fellow
ship of suffering would when mustered
out desire some form of association to
preserve the friendship and the memo
ries of their common trials and dam
gers"
The two friends agreed that II spared
they would work out together some
plan of allegiance to meet the need
This suggestion and agreement proved
to be the germ of the Grand Army of
the Republic. the greatest and most
influential body of veterans in the
world. 1t was not until nearly year
after the grand muster out that Major
Stephenson and Chaplain Rutledge
met in Springfield and laid the founda-
tion plans for the new national order.
The work Of a Missouri organization
called the Grand Army of Progress
suggested the form of ritual which was
adopted and which was printed in
great secrecy.

THE idea OF the organization of the
! Grand Army Of the Republic was
really conceived, however, before the
close of the war. The signer of the
first general order, calling the first
encampment in Indianapolis, Novem-
Der 20, 1865. carefully preserved in
the venerable general order book in
the Hall of Records at Philadelphia,
was Maj. Benjamin Franklin Stephen
son, provisional commander in chief
In 1866 and the founder of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Major Stephenson was native of
Wayne county, Illinois. where he was
born in 1922. Reared in poverty, but
managing to wrest an education from
difficult conditions, he entered the
medical profession. graduating from
Rush Medical college, Chicago. In 1851,
and practicing in Petersburg, III. He
enlisted and served three years as sur
geon of the Fourteenth Illinois in
fantry and Immediately after the war
he resumed the practice of his profess
sion. locating at Springfield, Ill. Major
Stephenson during the war was close
ly associated with Chaplain William
Rutledge. a Wrginian by birth. a resi-
dent of Illinois and n Methodist preach
er who was his terminate and bosom
companion.

VISA nesday to see the boys
start down to their sum-
mer camp.
Although camp is only going to
last ten days, it is to be filled
chuck full of fun every minute Of
the day,-and night. Ping pong,
checkers, magazines, volly ball,
basket ball, baseball, track meets
and snipe hunts are some Of the
main things on the program. Be-
sides this there is the river always
waiting to supply plenty of fish,
minnows included, and cooling dips
on hot days.
And when the boys feel those
gently tender pains urging them
towards the dining tent, they will
find all sorts of steaming hot good
tasting things awaiting them, be-
cause the shelf is to be the well
tried and seasoned expert formerly
employed in hotels and on steam
ships, and who is pronounced by
Mr.. Williams to be X-cellent
There will be six tents in the
camp, besides the cook tent and
dining shack, and the thirty-five
boys will be duly chaperoned by
MIR. Schwan, who is to administer
the castor oil and talcum powder
for all first aid calls, Mr.. Williams
who promises to help pull on all
fish which are too large to be han
died by one boy, Mr.. Brammer who
will spend his time scouting the
scouts, and Byron Wilson and
Paul Hayward of the Hi-Y club
who will do all that the others
leave undone.
So the only thing left for the
Richmond public-at-large to do is
say, Bon Voyage" and hope that
they all may return to tell the tale.

Oh thus be it when free shall stand
Between their loved home and wild wars desolation;
Blest with vcty and peace the heavnrescued land

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARkEN HAIR.
She Mixed Sulphur With It to
Restore Color, Gloss,
Youthfulness

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added, Will
turn gray, streaked anu faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove a rev.
elation If your hair is fading, streak
ed or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a 5Ocent bottle OF Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
OF other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair Is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it
so naturally, so evenly. You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time;
by morning all gray hairs have disap-
peared, and, after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful tot
let requisite and Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.
