METAL WEARERS'' WAR.
THREATENS COUNTRY
Regulation Demanding That Men
Who served In This Country
Wear Silver EInblcms.

Washington, Dec. 27.--A war OF
words between wearers of the silver
and gold chcvrons in the army threat
ems to sweep the country. according to
officers here. They say that Secretary
Baker should arrange an armistice.
The 10000 officers of the regular
army have not taken kindly to the
regulations issued recently that they
wear a silver chevron for every six
months of home service during the
war. Officers pointed out today that
none of the old line officers had
found time yet to carry out the new
regulations. They have used much
time, however. in insisting that 1t has
been through no fault of their own
that they were assigned to the "a. l.
f." instead of the A. t.. F., the "a.
l. r." standing for American Indoor
Army" They also say that the silver
chevron ut a short distance appears
to he a white chevron, and that three
If them in a row look like good
sized section of Il white feather.
The regular army officers do not
object to thte regulation which calls
upon wounded men and men who saw
service abroad to wearing the blue and
gold chevrons. But they object Ia
being forced 70 wear what they term a
brand"
The silver chevron was brought Into
being, it IL said, because many soldiers
from overseas were falling to salute
officers in this country who wore no
chevrons. Secretary Baker today said
that the order to wear the silver
chevron would be enforced. and add
ed: Ten years from now the army
will have two classes of men, one
wearing the service chevrons. for duty
carried out in the war; the other hay
ing no decoration--thus men who
joined the service after the armistice.

in the presence of a large gathering
of friends and loved ones. Her re-
mains were laid to rest in the ceme-
terry at the home of DIR. G. S. Samp-
son.
Mrs. Taylor was truly one of Gods
noblest people. She prOfessed faith
in Christ and lived a true Christian
to the end.
o! so sad to see husband and chill
dren gather around the coffin to bid
"wife" and mother" their last fare
well, until they can join her "up
there" where there will be no fare
wells spoken, no farewell tears shed,
but life and song forevermore.
1t is very sad, indeed, dear friends,
that you must give up this loved one.
But God had some specified reason
for taking this loved one from you.
We cannot understand now, but that
"blesse1 book" tells us that some day
we shall understand all things. 1t is
one great consolation to know that
this dear one has gone to rest. She
has had her share of sorrow and suf-
ferings in this world and now she has
gone to claim her reward in heaven.
My friends, let me extend my heart
felt sympathy to all of you, for /, too,
have lost my precious mother, and
know what the loss of good mother
is. I had as good mother as one
could have, but I never realized how
dear she was to me until had to give
her up. But God knoweth and doeth
all things best, and I'm only trusting
that I'll meet her again.
Yes, we'll meet beyond the city,
Just across the strand,
And our hearts will beat with glad
ness
AS we clasp each others hand.
Dear ones, know the night of sor-
row is often so dark we can hardly
find our rugged way. But God will
make it plain and simple bye and bye.
These old graveyards, long deserted
by friends and loved ones, where the
melancholy triplet of the tiny cricket
is heard, when the shadows Of night
are gathering with the fallen shafts
of marble, and moss-covered slabs,
where the ignis fatus dance their mid
night rounds, will be changed into a
camping ground of angels and the
favorite boulevard of God.
"She shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn.
We shall meet to part, no, never,
In that resurrection morn"
"a precious one from US is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Sweetly her soul shall rest"
Written by sympathizing friend,
MARY LITCHFORD.

GUILTY CONSCIENCE,
NOT ALWAYS CAUSE
FOR SLEEPLESSNESS

The old saying that it is a
guilty conscience that keeps us
from sleeping is NOT always true.
Most times it is due to our sys-
tenn being all clogged up with
poisons, is the case this time
of year when we have been
stufing ourselves with heavy
foods and our liver, kidneys and
bowels,are all Iclogged up with
impurities. This condition
effects our nervous system and
we therefore can't sleep.
Miss VAlarie Cochran, profess
sional nurse of Nashville, Tenn,
said that while she was always
skeptical d b OUT proprietary
remedies, she was so troubled
with sleeplessness that nothing
the doctors could give her would
seem to do herSany good till she
took Vim Hepatica, the famous
vegetable. prescription, which
SO quickly ended her sleepless-
ness and made her feel SO much
better That she recommends it's
use to every one who can not
sleep well. Come ih and get a
bottle and soon be sleeping like
a baby.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. FRANE
TAYLOR.

One of Gods holy angels descended
from heaven unto earth Friday morn
ing, April 5, 1918, and claimed as its
reward the spirit of Mrs. Frank Tay-
or and carried it to that celestial city
on high, there to abide with the Saw
Jour and bask in the sunlight of His
holy presence forever.
Mrs. Taylor was the wife of Frank
Taylor of Lost Creek. She was taken
i'll suddenly. While she had been feel
ing i'll for several days, she was up
part of the time. Late Thursday eve
ming she was stricken with paralysis.
The doctor was summoned and all was
done that medical skill could do, but
to no avail. It was not Gods will for
her to get well, and Friday morning
at about 7:3O o'clock she breathed her
last.
She leaves a husband, seven chill
dren, a mother, two brothers and a
sister to mourn her loss, besides a
number of sorrowing relatives and
friends.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. G. w. Ramsey at the Plunkett's
Creek Church, Saturday at 1 p. M,
