Texas. particularly in the western
part of the state. have suffered two
year drought. Last year the most
fortunate of the farmers living in
those sections did not harvest enough
from their labor to feed themselves
and their stock. The unprecedented
severity of that drought persuaded
them that this year would redress
the hardship put upon them last
year. Encouraged by that belief
and sustained by the financial help
given to them by the merchants,
bankers and better conditioned
neighbors. they renewed the strugr
gle this year in the hope of being
able to retrieve their disaster This
hope has been bitterly disappointed
This year has been but a continual

The Kaiser has assured the burgO.
master of Frankfort that he deepl,
sympathizes in the misfortune which
has befallen the open town OF Frank
fort as result Of an enemy attack
which was contrary to international

Since the devil quotes scripture, il
may be thought that the Kaiser has
some precedent for quoting intsr
national law. But it is only in the
cynical impudence OF the devil that
one will find a comparison for the
effrontery which the Kaiser exhibits
in reminding the people of Frank
fort that they are the victims of a
violation of International law. In
strictness they are not: There il no

act of war was to destroy interna-

Years ago, when people were bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed TO do
its work or the stomach was out of

By and by the us rs Of calonlel found
that the "after effects" OF taking the
drug were as bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which il was
taken.
DIR. Thatcher, in seeking n medicine
to take the place of calomel-one that
would do oil the good that calomeI
would do, and yet leave none OF its evil
effects perfected DIR. Tnacher's Liver &
Blood Syrup. This was in 1852, and
each year since has added TO the conf
fience OF those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, OF Chattanooga,
Tenn, tried calOmcl. She was suffer-
ing with very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomei failed she tried DIR. Thach-
er's Liver IL Blood Syrup. She felt
better after taking three doses and she
soon got entirely well. s'I think DIR.

a great cause and Uncle Sans boys

you one and all. my dear friends,
for the great effort you put forth to
send US boys away with smiling
face and cheerful hearts. We do
not have to 60 among the strong.
robust soldiers to find all the great
heroes. The singing given in my
home on Saturday night before | left
for the army, was the sweetest ex-
perience of my life; in the calm of
the night when the great busy day
is over and | am resting on my sailor
cot and looking far away up yOnder
at the twinkling stars of heaven. it
seems that / can almost hear your
voices ringing out the great song
melodies as heard them that night
with those songs, the timely talks
and earnest prayers OF the Christian
people.

shame; no, no. all America. our be-
loved land of the free and the home
of the brave. shall be saved for de-
mocracy. Dear friends. | expect to
be true to you and to do that / must

one who wishes to write; you have
no idea what letter full of home

as a soldier of the dear old U. S. A.
| feel as never before that good
friends are worth more in life than
all silver and gold, and | want the
prayers of my friends who may read
this that | may be able to overcome
the many temptations of army life.
