CHAPTER ~.
The Honor OF Khaki.


X/OU have selected the branch Of the
7 service which you like best and
have enlisted. As you put on
your uniform do you really realize what
an honor il Is' The uniform OF the
United States army, navy and marine
cotps is more or less respected, still
there has been a tendency TO regard 1t
from a commercial standpoint. Judging
the wearer by the salary he receives.
As an instance was sitting in the
subway next TO two prosperous looking
business men across the way was an
old army sergeant, his hair turning gray
six service stripes on his arm, and three
campaign ribbons on his left breast on
line with these ribbons was an ex-
pert riflemans badge On OF the bust
ness men whispered to his companion
See that old corporal across the way
(he was even wrong about his rank ,

he The other concurred IN this
opinion
The Ignorance Of It,
The ignorance OF il The pity OF It,
The crime of il Those two ego,istical
dollar chaSerS did not realize that those
wasted lives" were making it possible
for them TO pursue their even way,
maintain their servants and motors,
send their children to school, and give
them flag TO be displayed from their
windows about three times a year.
How many American citizens, by
looking at man in uniform, can tell
to what branch OF the service he be
longs Very few-about ten out of cv-
cry hundred would be a safe guess.
The fact is that the public is ignor-
ant of military matters They think that
all ono has 10 do is 20 change from
civilian clothes into uniform and be

While lecturing before the Iowa

one time served in his regimcnt) who
told me OF an incident that happened
while he was recruiting for the off

a good example Of the general pubIic's
idea OF army training. A certain
prominent business man came into the

II lay helpless when my wife or
dered our first bottle of Tanlac from
Fl Pas9 Texas" writes Harry T..
Scott, OF Dragon, Arizona, in telling
OF his remarkable recovery.
"a Mr.. Soott's letter was addressed to
IL, f. Moss, a we'll known druggist of
sRsnson. Ariz., who has the Tanlsc
Iakehcy for that town. and was for
,wstded by Mr.. Moss to the Tanlac Of

Dragon, Arizona.
Mr. {. F Moss,
Benson, Ariz.,
Dear Sir:
AS you expressed a desire to hear
more about my case, will try and tell
you part OF it, was down and out
nearly all the time for two years with
rheumatism and stomach trouble, and
went to eight doctors. two OF whom
were osteopaths. Three of them re-
fused to take my case, saying II was
incurable, and others might as we'll
have done so, as they did me no good
guess have taken a barrel Of medi-
cine internally and externally; ! also
went to Hot Springs and out OF all
that was ever done, never got over one
weeks relief at a time.
After going down to one hundred
and sixteen pounds-which is very
light for a six-footer--I kept getting
worse until l couldn't move, even to
feed myself. had no desire to eat and
couldn't sleep more than two hours a
night. Some OF the officials OF the
mine, OF which | am, foreman, would
call to see me, and then go out and
say, poor old Scott, guess he has
fired his last man NV wife thought
| would never get out OF bed alive and
she knew my condition better than
anyone else
AT last when | lay helpless, my wife
ordered a bottle OF Tanlac from Fl
Paso, Texas, which was the nearest
place we could get II at that time. One
evening about four days after | began
taking Tanlac, | ate a fair meal and
enjoyed il, the first in many months.
BY the time | had taken half of the
first bottle, thought had good
appetite but when / had finished my
second bottle ] could hardly cat enough
to satisfy me. Well I have Just fin
ished my ninth bottle, have gained
eighteen pounds and am back on the
job every day.
Il have converted lots of sufferers
to the 'Tsnlac Route and il affects them
all a. il did me--their stomach trou-
bic, nervousness and rheumatism all
yield to Tsnlac. Mrs. Scott and myself
are willing to 60 before notary and
make affidavit as to the truth OF every
statement in this letter, which you are
At liberty to publish and use for the
benefit OF others"
Yours very truly,
HARRY Z. SCOTT.
