Dear Mabel:
Il haven't wrote to you for
some time because l have been
made an officer-a corporal.
admit that | deserved it..
Il didn't apply for IL or moth
ing. They just come and told me.
Being corporal means that ]
don't have nothing more to do
with details and at the same time
! have more details TO worry about
than ever before. That is joke
that us military men understand
but We could not expect layman
like you to understand it, Mabel.
THE other morning | went up
for thirds at breakfast as usual,
and the cook said, You seem to
like coffee, and without stopping
to think or nothing ! said, Yes,
that's the reason I'm willing to
drink so much hot water to get
some. Eth, Mabel.
Il have not been very well late
ly. | guess that will cut out
eating at meal times. 1t spoils
my appetite for the rest of the
day. I'm the same old Bill, Ma
bel, crackin' jokes and keeping

The Y. VI. C. A. are learning
me French now. ] only had three
lessons so far, but | can talk ii
very good. You know how quick
| am at picking up that kind o.
thing. The only difference be-
tween French and English is that
they are pretty nearly alike but
the French don't pronounce their
words right.

the French say for town. it'll come
in handy to sit down and have

MRS. KENNEDY'S
FRIENDS NOTICE
CHANGE IN her
Is Like a Different Person
Since Taking Tanlac-
Suffered 5 Years.

81 can hardly find words to
express the gratitude l really feel
over the splendid results ] have
gotten from Tanlac,' said Mrs.
Rose Kennedy. who resides at 1888
Fremont av., Seattle, Washing
ton, recently.
when | began taking Tanlac,'
Mrs. Kennedy continued, Il was
suffering and had been for five
years, from Indigestion and liver
trouble. During the past SIX
months | became very much worse
and suffered terribly from both.
1t just seemed like my liver would
not act at all, | had fearful sick
headaches, and was very nervous
and high strung. My food would
lay in my stomach undigested,
and make trouble and misery for
me. ! suffered most all the time
with pain thru my shoulders, and
across the lower part of my back
over my kidneys, my sleep was
very poor, and | was tired all the
lime. 1t was only by the great
est effort that | was able to pull
thru with my house work, was
in such a bad fix.
Il made up my mind from what
others said Tanlac had done for
them to see if it would help me,
and it has done me more good
than | can find words to tell |
have not had headache since the
day | began taking it. ] have
now taken two bottles and am
going to keep on taking it for a
while. but I'm already feeling like
different person. My appetite
is splendid, and l eat just any
thing l want without feeling
sign Of indigestion or pain after
wards. ! sleep good, my tired
feelings are gone, and have i'm
tproved so much that some of my
friends and neighbors are con-
stantly telling me how much bet
ter / look. / certainly do think
Tanlac is a grand medicine and I
gladly recommend it for what it
has done for me-"
A dull dragging feeling of the
body, sluggish mind, dull men,
DRY, depression of spirits, nerv-
business, irritability, stomach trou-
bic, indigestion, weak back, and
headaches are among the numer-
Gus symptoms of condition from
which a surprisingly large num-
Der Of people suffer. Experience
has taught that 800 of all chronic
i'll health is caused by poor di-
gestion, and non-assimilation of
the food, which produces a ca
tarrhal inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane.
Tanlac benefited Mrs. Kennedy
because it contains certain medic
Iinal properties which combat with
these troubles. Thousands are
now using the Master Medicine, in
all parts of the United States and
Canada, and in each case it is ac-
comprising surprising results.
Scores of testimonials are re-
ceived daily, from men and wom-
en- of unquestioned honesty and
Integrity, who feel gratified as a
result of having found such a
great source of relief.
Tanlac is sold in Tacoma by
French Drug Co., under the per-
sonal direction of special Tan
lac representative. - advertise

COMBING WON'T RID
HAIR OF DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid
Of dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then
you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces OF Or
binary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub It
in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing most, II not all. Of your dan
druff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of 1t, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all
itching and digging of the scalp
will stop at once, and your hair
will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t Is inexpensive
and never fails to do the work.

Washington, Oct S.--Charges that
the United States Brewers association

of the liquor traffic, contributed to
the national German-American ALI
ance, been convicted of corrupt polit-
ical practices and Improperly influ-

today by Senator Jones' of Washing

ciary subcommittee investigating
loans by brewers to Arthur Brisbane
I'M connection with the latter's pur-
chase of the Washington Times.
Senator Jones presented his mem
orandum for the purpose OF contend
ing that the inquiry is unlimited in
scope and not confined alone to the
Washington Times.
Documentary evidence alone, the
memorandum asserts, will establish
the following facts:
That the United States Brewers
association, individual brewers and
corporations have financed news
papers in the interest of the liquor
traffic and deceived the public as to
secret arrangements for money loan
ed which in some cases was to be
repaid only at the discretion OF the
newspaper owner out of the profits Of
the paper II there should be any
profits.
That the United States Brewers
association and certain individual
brewers who helped finance certain
newspapers advocating the liquor
traffic also contributed TO the ma
| tional Decentralization alliance and
financed the publication of an official
organ after the sinking OF the Lust
| tania and other similar German afro
cities.
| THAT the national GermanAmeri-
| can alliance was financed in part by
| the Brewers association and individ-
ual brewers and liquor dealers.
! THAT the Brewers association
! through organization whose identity
| has been concealed such as the So
called National Association of Com
| merce and Labor. manufacturers and
dealers association, business mems
| association, tax payers league, home
rule and other organizations, nave
! made political surveys relating to the
! attitude OF candidates for office and
how they could be influenced and
controlled in the interest OF the liquor
| traffic said organization
/ and individuals also have encouraged
the starting of strikes in dry territory
! and instigated local troubles in shops
and factories whose owners and
managers favored prohibition.
That the brewery trade and liquor
traffic is pro-German in its sym
patty"

Rocky Mountain News (Denvcr) -
President Wilson's answer is but the
beginning, we fear, OF diplomatic cor
respondence between Washington
and Berlin regarding construction OF
phrases that may give the enemy time
to mend the break along the fronts.
The German government
today. as it was four years ago, is an
autocracy ruled by a military party
that is trying to save for itself some
thing from the wreck of defeat.
