The Truth About the War

Here are some things that you
might as well get firmly fixed in your
mind, for they are true:
If Germany loses this great battle,
the war will be over.
If Germany wins this battle, the
war will not be over.
The allies are going to win this
war if it takes fifty years, and if it
takes the effort of men and women
yet unborn.
The world will not be dominated
by the Prussian spirit. The world
will keep on fighting until it is crushed
completely.
1t begins to look as if there may be
a long struggle ahead of US, but
there is not the least bit of doubt as
to the final result will be.
The only doubt is as to how long
it will take win a complete and
final victory-Anderson Mail.

A SOLDIERS LIFE

It's not all uniform an pomp, itss
all dress parade;
It's far more drilling in the sun thar
resting in the shade;
It's dirty work, an greasy work, and
jobs you'll dread to do,
But though soldiers tasks are tough
he always sees them through.
It's not for you to pick an choose,
you get your orders plain,
1t isn't very pleasant standin' guard
out in the rain;
But some one has to do the job, an
it's soldiers way
To do his duty, fair or foul, without
a word to say.
Oh any sort O. man at all can do the
work he likes.
A coward can be cheerful when he's
takin' pleasant hikes,
But the test of every soldier that is
fightin' for the States
Is the way he does his duty when he
sees it with his mates.

digestion caused lot of suffering
and heartburn caused a great deal of

I suffered lot with headaches. Really
I felt badly in every way. Kidney
trouble caused me lot of suffering.
I am 6s years of age, and my years
had begun to tell on me. Then be-
gan taking Tanlac, for I had heard
so much about it being such a fine
tonic. The Tanlac gave me a good
appetite and strengthened nv sys-

away. My stomach was built up and
regulated and so were my nerves.
The Tanlac helped the kidney trouble
a great deal, too. I have told several
people about Tanlac, and have prais-

medicine for troubles like I had"

A WISH FOR THE WORLD.

Thank God we can see, in the glory
of morn,
The invincible flag that our fathers
defended;
And our true hearts repeat what the
heroes have sworn;
That war shall not end till the war
lust is ended!
Then the bloodthirsty sword shall
no longer be lord
Of the nations oppressed by the con-
queror's horde,
But the banners of freedom shall
peacefully wave
Ger the world of the free and the
lands of the brave.

Memory
(By Berton Braley, in Columbia
Record.)

| remember, I remember
The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen cents
And soupbones given free.
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty-four
And bacon fifteen cents pound.
In those brave days of yore.
| remember, I remember
When one could hire a maid
For three or four or five a week
And when she came, she stayed
But now they are naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine
Who come to you at 10 o'clock
And then at noon-resign.
remember, I remember,
When gentle working men
Would come whene'er you asked them
For life was simpler then,
But now, although your pipes are burst
And troubles leave you vexed
You cannot get bit of help
Until week after next.
remember, remember
(oh why must visions fade)
When there was sugar sold to all
And coal men sought your trade.
But now the times are altered
And there is little joy
In thinking Of how cheap things were
When I was but boy!

RAY CARLOS IS IN
 THICK OF HUN CHASE

In letter to his parents, Mir. and Mrs. B. S. Carlos, Ray tells of being in the thick of battle, with the Hun on the run:
 August II, 1918. Dear Mother:
 From Somewhere in France, on the firing line. I am still alive and in good health. We have been under shell fire and gas, and now we all know what real war is.
 And today we are sending our share of shells over into the German lines l do not want you to worry about me I will write at least once month or oftener if I can find time. There is lots of excitement over here and al ways liked excitement and now am getting plenty of it.
 Everything is progressing fine, and MT. Hun is giving back little all the time. There is a continuous bank bang, from morn until morn, and MT. Hun has not much time for sleep. am certainly glad that I am over here helping the boys to hammer h. out of Mir. Hun.
 l have not yet seen an American boy who wants to go back home before it is all over. They all want to ham, mer the Hun and beat him back until he says that's a plenty, and then go home. And that is my desire, too. So when the kaiser has been we'll knocked out and peace exists I will come home. l write this letter on the back of my mess kit, so please excuse all mis- takes.
 Give my regards to all my friends. Will close with love to all,
 As ever,
 RAY.

RELEASED
 FROM WHEATLESS PLEDGE

Housewives throughout the country who periodically put their homes on wheatless basis last spring have been released from their pledges to the Food Administration to go abso- lutely without wheat. This release was merely from the voluntary pledge to go entirely without wheat until the new harvest. Housewives will con- tinue to purchase the required amount of wheat substitute with their wheat flour.
 Coming in of the new wheat crop has made it possible for the nation to go back partially to it's old habits of eating. But the uncertainties of war and the necessity for building up a food reserve are incentives to caution, even in the face of good crop.
 As the available supply of wheat diminishes or increases so does the U. s. Food Administration accordingly change it's rulings as to the use of wheat flour.
 So as to cover every possible ruling that might be made by the food ad- ministration, little booklet of select ed Recipes for War Times has been especially prepared for the patriotic housewives of America.
 Every recipte has been carefully se- lected, prepared and tested in a mod ern experimental bakery and labora- tory by housewife, domestic science expert and food analyst. The recipes range from those calling for all wheat to those calling for all wheat to those calling for no wheat flour. No matter what kind of war recipe you are looking for you can find it in "Se- lected Recipes for War Times" This splendid little booklet can be had for the asking. Simply write Calumet Baking Powder Company, 4100 Fill more street, Chicago, H., and it will be sent you postpaid. Save the need ed wheat flour-use your substitute Hours and help win the war.

ARGUE CRONEMEYER CASE.

Judge Richard E. Sloan of Phoenix and Senator Isaac Earth of Albuquer- que, were in Flagstaff Saturday and appeared in the Superior court in the Cronemeyer estate case. The case had been transferred from Apache county to this county and arguments heard before Judge Perkins. Cronemeyer was murdered at his trading post a year or so ago and in the settlement of the estate, claims were made for a portion of the estate by two Indian children, who were said to be the il- legitimate children of Cronemeyer. Proof of their being Cronemeyer's off spring and whether they were entitled to a portion of the estate, were the questions at issue.

ARC. Cattle Brand Appears in West.

ARC. Cattle Brand Appears in West.
 A new cattle brand has appeared on the western range. ARC" on heifer calf in any herd indicates that the lucky animal will wax fat and sleek by scientific feeding, will wear blue ribbons at the Western Stock Show in Denver next January, receive the ado ration of an admiring throng and command more good American dollars at sale than those wearing less fa- vored brands. For be it known that the ARC stands for American Red Cross and the heifer so marked will not only have the advantages of travel throughout the country, but will do her bit in winning the war. Cattle brands have distinct place in the nomenclature of North America; they are rhythmic and unique and have ap- pealed to the novelist, the poet, the composer, who have written them into story and song. But no longer will the Triangle, the Bar Circle, and the Bell A lead in brand fashions; the ARC represents something more than an owner or a euphonious name-it stands for an ideal.
 Scores of herds throughout Wy oming, Utah, Colorado and New Mex ico now have from one to twenty-five heifers bearing the ARC brand. A number of stock owners who have do- mated calves to the Red Cross and are feeding them up for the January Stock Show have announced that they will continue the practice during the war period. The Mountain Division has directed its chapters to appoint livestock committees. A former gov ernor of Colorado, Elias M. Ammons, who is an experienced stockman, pre- diets that the Red Cross will receive hundreds of thousands of dollars from the sale of these heifers. The proceeds of the. sales will go to the chapters in whose jurisdiction the vended cattle were raised.
