HE'S OLDEST RAILR0ADER
James Frew Has Been In the Business
for Sixty-F Five Years.

James Frew of Fort Madison, Ia, re-
Gently retired as q Santa Fe employee,
lays claim to being the oldest railroad
man in the United States I'm point of
service. He has worked for 65 years
ON the railroads of England and Amer
lea.
Frew Is s~eventy-eight years old and
began work as a laborer on the Eng
lish roads when thirteen years old.
Coming to this country as a young
man, he continued as general foreman,
master mechanic and division super
intendent.
AS he grew older he was forced to
give up these responsible positions, but
he continued railroading, as that was

IN French CAMPS
Y. M. c. A. SECRETARY RETURNS
FROM SERVICE IN FRANCE.

Sioux City, Feb. 21.-Calls for
sacrifices such as would put to shame
the little inconvenience suffered by
Americans are accepted as q matter
of course by the French people, it
was asserted yesterday by Max Ham
ilton, who arrived from France,
where he has been serving rs a Y.
M. c.. A. secretary.
Mr.. Hamilton served six months in
the Y. M. C. A. service in England
and two months in France. The first
two months service in England was
in an infantry and artillery camp and
the remainder was with the Royal
flying corps. He returned to Amer
lea under the impression that con-
gress had extended the draft regula-
tions and that he would be needed
for service. He now contemplates
joining the field artillery.
While the English are willing TO
give their money to win the war, .
says Mr.. Hamilton, the French stand
ready to give the last drop of blood
flowing in their veins to defeat their
enemy. The French people do not
speculate as to when the war will be
over. If it ends tomorrow they will
welcome it with joy, but If it lasts
for years they still will keep on fight
ing with clenched teeth to the end.
I'm the matter of food, %conserva-
ton is observed to the strictest ex-
tent because there is little available.
For instance, sugar is dealt out in
the smallest quantities. The French
peasant receives about as much sugar
In a month as the average American
uses in a single cup of coffee.
THE greatest difficulty that the Y.
NJ. C. A. secretary has to contend
with in England is to learn the pc
culiar customs and mannerisms of
the ''Tommies." We had to learn the
English system OF counting money,
the way to pronounce the various
names, the prices of cigarets and 9TH
er goods and to familiariZe ourselves
with their slang expressions. The y.
M. C. A. building was the center Of
the social life of the camp. 1t was
there that the men gathered for their
games and for their religious exer-
| cises.
The English Tommy knocks off
drilling about 4 o'clock in the after
noon for tea, which also includes a
few waters, but has to go to bed
without any supper. He is a peculiar
person, but is nothing like the pop
ular conception of an E~nglishmar
held by us Americans. He uses al
OF the 'Ba joves' and My words
but they don't sound SO funny wher
a real Englishman says them.
THE majority of English soldier:
are between the ages of 40 and 81
years. However, in the flying corps
there are many youths. 1t is no un'
common things to see an aviation Of
ficer who is Is or 16 years old. In
most cases they r expert pilots
The training of the aviator lasts fol
only three months. In that time the
men are either experts or are dead
The haste to get them through re
suits In many accidents.
The American soldiers all are ex
tremely anxious to get into the
trenches. They m almost worshipet
by the French and English, who seen
to appreciate what they are doing

CALIFORNIA MAN
GAINS IS POUNDS
SMITH FEELS LIKE NEW MAN
SINCE TAKING TANLAC--
SUFFERED THIRTY YEARS.

One of the strongest and most con-
vincing evidences of the popularity
of Tanlac throughout America is the
large number of letters that are be-
ing received daily from well known
men and women, telling of the re-
markable results they have derived
from its use.
Among the many received in the
past few days is one from John Smith,
3l3 Eighth Street, Richmond, Califor-
MIA which is especially interesting. Mr..
Smith states that he had suffered for
twenty years, with his stomach, liver
and kidneys, and had reached the point
where he wished each breath would
be the last. He also says that when
he began taking Tanlac he weighed
only one hundred and forty-eight
pounds, but hat he now weighs one
hundred and siXty-siX-making a gain
of eighteen pounds-and that he feels
like "A new man. Following is his let
ter in full:
ITO Whom it May Concern: II, the
undersigned, can truthfully say that
the wonderful medicine known AS Tan
lac has done more for me in thirty
days time, than any other medicins |
have even taken before in all my life,
| have been a sufferer from stomach.
liver and kidney troubles for twenty
years. | have taken six bottles of
Tanlac, and today | feel like "a new
man.
Before | started using Tanlac it
didn't make any difference what l.
would eat or drink, it distressed me
50 much that | wished the next breath
would be my last. Also when | start
ed taking this wonderful medicine, |
only weighed one hundred and forty
eight pounds. Today ! weigh one
hundred and sixty-four pounds have
gained eighteen pounds already-and
am still gaining. Also before taking
Tanlac ! couldn't sleep either night or
day, but now | average about nine
hours steady sleep and | have an appe-
tite like u horse. am now fifty
years of age and | can't praise Tan
lac too much for what it has done for
me-"
Tanlac is now sold in Tucumcari by
Sands Dorsey Drug Co., in San Jon by
c. o. Armstrong; in Logan by Peo-
pies Drug Store and in Endee by w.
