Soldiers Greed

l
The soldiers of Camp Shelb,
have adopted the following Al
their creed:
Il believe in my country, in
her ideals, and in her destiny.
Il believe in my country, in
her not only because she is my
country. but because her flag
stands before men as high
symbol of liberty and justice and
honor among men.
II believe in living for her, ]
believe in dying for her.
Il believe that the laws by
which men live together in
harmony have been written for
all time in the blood of those
who set justice above life.
Il sign away my share of
time that these laws may DE
eternal.
Il give my blood to be the ink
in which they shall be written.
Il give my best of youth; my
hopes; my peace to come; the
work / might have done: my
dear ones; days Of anguish.
4 give my hands, my feet,
the sight Of both my eyes; my
body to be burned; my flesh to
be torn; my spark of life to be
qnenched, in order that the
golden rule may not be erase d
nor the Constitution become a
scrap of paper.
Believing that in such a
cause, though suffering all, |
suffer nothing. If I so die, | am
not dead"

One by one the soldier boys
are coming home and finding
their places in civil life again.
So far not very many have come
from over there" and not
much change has yet been
wrought in the ideas of the
citizenship. But as more and
more come home their sentiments
will more and more effect the
body of the people and if we are
not mistaken the great principle
of right will prevail more nearly
than has been the case in the
past. Can you, with the soldier
boys, say, 1T is right and dare
to do?"

Lieut.. Ray Whiteside Killed

A telegram from William
Pearson brings the sad news
that Lieut.. Ray Whiteside, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Whiteside,
was killed in an airplance &C.
cident at St. Petersburg, Florida,
this morning at Ills.
Lieut.. Whiteside was stationed
at Miami, Florida and was sery-
ing in the Navy air service. He
went through his training in
this country and was ordered
abroad where he served with
distinction and was counted one
of our best. After the signing
of the armistice, he returDed to
America and paid a short visit
home during the holidays before
going to Florida.
Ray, as he was known to his
many friends here. had a natural
bent for the air service and had
given it thought from childhood.
We feel sure his death was not
of his failing.
We extend deepest sympathy
to the bereaved family.

sale by Mexico or producers operating under contracts with Mexico, to the allied governments.
 Inasmuch as Mexico ranks third among the oil producing nations of the world and Russia, which stood second no longer is furnishing any appreciable quantity, the Tampico pro duction was vitally necessary to the nations at war; and the American, British, French and Dutch companies, acting under advice of their govern ments, refused to file the demanded mani1ests and applied to the Mexican courts for relief
 Not one of the American companies operating in Mexico, says the depart ment of commerce report, ever has ob- tained a concession of land from the Mexican government, their contracts of purchase or lease having in every case been made with private owners who held titles extending back often for more than 250 years.
 The demands of the war for fuel oil are continually increasing, according to the review. Petroleum stocks in the United States were reduced by S,OS4,635 barrels during the first six months of 1918. With heavy increases in shipping, many of the new ships being oil burners, a further demand may be expected. At least 2,500,OOO barrels of Mexican oil per month has been used in the past in connection with the military and domestic needs of the United States and estimates of the present need place the require ments high as 100000 barrels a month In addition, the navies of the allies-especially the British-require fuel oil, mostly obtained from Mexico, to keep them on the high seas.

INFLUENZA WORSE
 THAN HUN BULLETS
Claiming More Victims Than Battle Fronts of Europe; Disease Can Be
 Avoided

According to carefully compiled sta tistics it is an indisputable fact that the Spanish influenza epidemic which is now sweeping all parts of the coun- try is daily claiming far more vic tins than German bullets on the bat tie fronts of Europe. Although civil and military authorities have succeed ed in checking the disease in some localities, it is growing worse in oth- CTS and continues to spread at an alarming rate. That the disease can be avoided there is no longer any doubt According to leading authori- ties the powers of resistance of the human system can be so perfected that that it can throw off almost any infection, not even excepting Spanish influenza, which is one of the most contagious diseases known.
 It is persons who are suffering from lowered vitality. who are weak and rundown and who have not the strength to throw it off who are the earliest victims. Persons who have bad colds, who are suffering from ca tarrhal troubles, or inflammation Of the mucous membranes are especial ly susceptible, as the inflamed mu- cous membrane Innings of the nose and throat are an open door to the germs. This condition is almost al ways accompanied by a weakened con- dition of the system
 If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, nothing on earth will build you up and strengthen you like Tanlac, which contains the most powerful tonic properties known to science.
 This statement is easily proven by the fact that Tanlac is now having the greatest sale of any system tonic in the history of medicine. In less than four years time over Ten Mil lion Bottles have been sold and the demand is constantly increasing. Thousands are using it daily for the above troubles with the most aston ishing and gratifying results.
 Tanlac increases your strength and weight and creates a good healthy appetite for nourishing food. It keeps you physically fit and helps every or gan of the body perform it's proper function in the natural way.
 In connection with the Tanlac Treatment be sure and keep the bow els open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets. samples of which are includ- ed in every bottle.
 Tanlac is sold in BisDee by J. M. Ball. in Douglas by Douglas Drug com pany, in Paradise by G. A. Walker. in Bowie by Bowie Drug company, in San Simon by J. B. Cooke. in Wilcox by A.
