straighten you right up and make you
feel fine and vigorous by morning,
want you to 60 back to the store and
get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel be-
cause it is real liver medicine; entirely
vegetable, therefore it can not salivate
or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful Of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels Of that sour bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle Of DodsOn's
Liver Tone will keep the entire family
| feeling fine for months. Give it to
your children. It is harmless; doesn't
grippe and they like its pleasant taste.

and told the clerk that there was one
title missing from her red leather set

embarrassment. To help her out he
named over a few titles.
Frightening, the lady said, "Oh, now

Queen. "We'n just have to work hard

"Thank you," said Peter Goblin, as
he hoped and jumped away, for he
felt far more cheerful now.
He went to call on his friends, the
children. He had a very hard time
with one little girl. "Good evening""
said Peter, as he perched himself on
the edge of the right bedpost Of her

She drew the clothes over her head.

But still she was frightened, until
after she had looked again (for be-

two big tears rolling down Peter Cob

"What's the matter, little sir?" she
asked. She wanted to be polite when
he felt so badly and yet he seemed Sc
small and tiny to be called just sir.
'I'm blue and sad," said Peter

tributed bills on Saturday have also
done their bit for their Government,
and have my hearty thanks.
Please rememger that the quota for

The make of butter for the year
1917 il Iowa was 94,269,685 pour,is,
a decrease of about 100000 pounds
over 1915, according to the annual
report Of w. 3. Barney, state dairy
and food commissioner. Creamery
butter was made il 451 creameries
during the year. Since Nov 1, 1916,
twenty-four new creameries have
been built. Some of these cost as
much as $4,000.
The output of ice cream iri the
state for 1917 amounted to 4,227,397
gallons, about 100000 gallons less
than in 1916. This is considered an
excellert showing in the face of the
i1crease in price of raw materials.

An interesting article in the report
concerns Mathew Van Deusen, Iowa s

Here it was that Mr.. Vans Deuser
made the butter which won first

TUSCANIA SURVIVOR
WRITES FROM ENGLAND
Young Soldier, who Worked i'm De-
ccrah Two Years Ago, Writes
Friend Here About the
Sinking OF the
TusCania.
HE is NOW in CAMP
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND.
Was Prepared to Swim for His Life
When Rescued by Destroyer
and Taken to Shore.

Dear riend:-
viii drop you a few lines to let
you know 1 am still living. Am
long ways from Decorah just now.
We'll, 1 got over here pretty good,
but had one delay. suppose you read
about the Tuscania being torpedoed.
That was the boat we were on, but the
most of US got off alright. 1t happened
after dark [ had just got through
eating supper and was laying on my
bunk reading story when it hit US.
All the lights went out and had
three lights of stairs to climb to get
up where our life boat was, but took
my time and put on my overcoat and
life belt before l started for the
stairs. got up the first two flights
alright, but when l got to the next
flight there was quite a crowd, but I
got up after little while and when I
got up to our boat it was all shot to
pieces so they tried to let down some
Others, and the first three they tried
to lower were all broke up by the
torpedo, so it looked kind of like we
would have to swim for while.
Some of them jumped overheard,
but the boat was not sinking very
fast so l told my partner that when
the water got up to the deck we were
standing on We would take off our
overcoats and swim as far as We
could, but before the water got up
there was destroyer pulled Ip be-
side us and we got on it and reached
shore I'm fine shape. They landed us
at British camp in Ireland. The
soldiers there were real gooi to us.
1t was two a. m. when we got into
their camp. They had a good supper
waiting for us and after supper they
all got up and gave us their beds for
the rest Of the night. We stayed
there two days and then they moved
us to another camp in Ireland. We
stayed there two days and then came
here. We are in England now.
Well you want to be sure and send
me Nicks address and / will sure
look him UP if | ever get a chance.

my address and tell him to write to
me. think we can get together

how is everything in Decorah, I
didn't know very many people there,
wasn't there long enough. Well
there is not much to write, only I
am having real snap, haven't done
much of anything for month, don't
know how much longer it will last.
Well l will close for this time.

Dear Folks:
Hello there, haven't heard from
me for a loriy time have you? Can't
blame it to anybody either, that's
the worst of it. Well how is every
body at home? The Public Opinion
reads as though everybody is well
and happy, but l don't believe every
thing a newspaper prints. l didn't
even believe my own letters in the
Public Opinion. Say do you know
what happened the other day. l met
a fellow from Decorah, a Mr.. Lewis,
that big fat fellow who used to work
in T. j. Qualley's garage. l guess
his name is Jack.
eddie Lewis is who he refers to,
Jack, brother lives in Decorah, Ed }
We had a good old lor,y talk
about that little spot in Iowa where
the river OIeota flows, just as
though we had been friends for the
last forty years. But he didn't know
as much gossip as | did about ''le
will" Decorah, So gave him a burrh
Of papers and good smoke, and
sent him home coItented. You
know, meeting an acquaintance il
this country is a rare thing, just as
rare as eggs are at the south pole.
Had a good feed last night. We
bought some eggs, ham, milk, French
bread, and had arr old woman make
us some apple pies. We fried the
ham and eggs ourselves and made
some chocolate with aforesaid milk
Say, but it tasted great. One feed
like that a week puts fellows
stomach in good running order. So
we have them regular, just like the
Kvnideforeigiag," you know.
There was something that struck
me furry when l first came over here
that was to see a FrenchmaI come
down the street with loaf of bread
on his arm. You see, bread over here
is made in big loaves with a hole
through the center, just like dough
rut, only on larger scale. Well
when Frenchie goes to buy bread
he just slips his arm through that
hole, sticks his hands in his pockets
and walks home. Made to fit you
/ see.
By Annals letters it seems as
though l am quite widely known by
my letters. Guess its so too, because
everybody is writing to me, ever
strangers. But I'll fix them, they
don't have to get familiar with me
just because they take the Public
Opinion. l don't like to ibe so popu
lar every place, riothing gained by it
Well folks its getting on in the
evening so will close for this time.
With love, Arnold.

not to send my red sweater, it's get

The people of Decorah certainly

This showing is surely fine, and at

we believe, be raised when the entire
