ForgetfuIness.

F0fgetfulness.
Some day we will forget about
The boche with fierce intent.
Some day we Will forget, no doubt,
The germ malevolent.
There never was an i'll, they say,
That human kind has met
As Time went plodding on his way,
Which men did not forget
Some day these enemies, whose arts
Insidious or bold
Bring CONSERVATION to tho hearts
OF numbers yet untold,
We will forget as feelings kind
Bid rancorous thoughts dispense;
But, gentle friend, bear this in mind
We've Got to Lick EN- First!

Convinced of Tanlac !
By Aid Given Wife
HUSBAND SAYS SHE ADDED
FIFTEEN POUNDS ON FOUR
BOTTLES.

Gases IN winch TWO or more peo-
pie in the same family have been so
greatly benefited by Tanlac that they
have offered double endorsement
of this famous Master Medicine are
common. When you see person
relieved of suffering and made
strong again, it is the most natural
thing in the world for you to want
the same benefits. This is how
Charles E. Whitmore, of 103 Brad
ford st., Albany, N. Y, happened to
tale Tanlac. - ....
my wife, who had been all run
down and nervous and getting weak
er right along, began to take Tan
lac" Mr.. Whitmore explained. "Well
of course, watched the results, and
it was wonderful to see the way it
built her up. On four bottles she
gained fifteen pounds I had been
doubtful about Tanlac, but that set
tied me. When started Tanlac l
could hardly eat one good meal in
a whole week. From suffering with
a bad stomach I had become ner-
vous and restless at night and all
run down. Instead of digesting, my
food would just lie like, lead on my
stomach and sour and ferment and
form gas. Because I had sour stom-
ach-acid stomach-so long, my
mouth had gotten sore. could not
sleep restfully, but would wake up
every hour or two and would roll
and toss. I was tired in the morn
ing, and by mid-afternoon I was so
tired out it seemed I couldn't get
through the day. I had lost all am
bition, and I did not care. Seeing
what Tanlac had done for my wife
encouraged me to take it, and was
not surprised when it began to
brace me up right away. It did as
much for me as it did for her. l
slept right through the night, woke
up rested, with a good appetite, and
was able to enjoy my meals. My
food digested and the gas, bloatlng
and sour stomach disappeared. l
felt like, new man, and the old
tired, worn-out feeling went with
the rest of my troubles"
When Mr.. Whitmores stomach be-
came weak, his system probably be-
gan to clog with waste matter. What
he needed was a good system purl-
fer, stomach tonic and reconstruc-
tive, and Tanlac did the work for
him and he saw it do for his wife,
and as it has done for countless
thousands.

FRANK CARWILE WRITE!
. AGAIN.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

hS Ae@oo 1SW ooyo AoNS bSSh PlSoo-
ant like summer weather. Let US all
be thankful for this weather. It is
long lane that has no turning and
every cloud no matter how dark it
may appear, has its silver lining.
Mrs. Frank Carwile was able to
attend preaching at Shiloh Sunday
for the first time since her recent
illness. Her friends were glad to
see her able to be out oncemore.
W. B. Mann and wife were to see
us Tuesday for the first time since
the woods were burnt-some of
them.
Rev. Martin preached on the text
"Whatsoever ye do, do it to the
glory of God" If we had done SO
we would not have so many troubles
constantly with US and the great
worldwide war would not be raging
in all of it's fury. There is a day
coming when all this will have to be
accounted for and many will be
found wanting. In all we do let US
try to emulate the example laid
down by the great apostle.
In the death of Mrs. M. C. Gary
Abbeville county loses one of her
most noble ladies. She raised a
family of sons of which any mother
might be proud for well have they
worn the ermine and adorned the
bench of our beloved State. AS q
shock of corn she has been gathered
in her season, after having lived
more than the allotted time to man.
A gentleman told US every Ger
man in America should be put in a
pen and kept there until the war is
over. We agree with him about
three thirds of the way. Some scoun-
drel who should be in Satan's clutch
es posted the low-down cut throat,
incendiary outraging, dirt eating
child nsurdering, scamps about the
approach of the Tuscania in which
some of our noble soldiers went to
watery grave. Young man, shoul-
der your gun and go to the protec-
ton of our country, our woman and
children and everything that is dear
to America. The liberties of OUT
nation are hanging in the balance
and it is going to take man power to
crush the old scoundrel of Kaiser
and German militarism but it will
be done and don't you forget it, for
civilization is sure to triumph in the
end. Don't be a Blease, a LaFol-
lette or a Stone. Have you forgot
ten the speeches made by Mr.. Blease
at Pomaria, Filbert, and Chaplin last
year? If so, refersh your memory.
Yet they say 1--WE doubt it) that he
is going to ask you to send him to
the United States Senate instead of
Mr.. Tillman, who is upholding Mr..
Wilson. Choose ye this day whom
We will esrve. Are'you patriot or
traitor? Time alone will tell, but
if you are the latter it will take you
1OO> years to outlive the disgrace
and don't get it into your Uranium
that you are going to be second
Methuselah. Be an honor. to your
God, your family and your country.
