Georgia Man Writes Letter of Earnest
Appreciation for What Tanlac Has
Done for His Little Girl Who Was
Long Sufferer.

"You ought to see what wonder
full change Tanlac has made in my lit.
tie girl, why, she's like a different
child" said Captain T. M. Harrell re-
siding at Ingleside, Georgia, who was
for twenty-five years conductor on
the Seaboard.
"The child was never strong and
had suffered ever since baby" he
continued. "She complained of head
aches most all the time and her kid
neys gave her no end of trouble. She
had no appetite and what little she
ate soured on her stomach and would
put her in misery for hours, SO that
she could hardly sleep at night. She
was weak and nervous and could not
play like other children, although she
wanted to. We gave her one thing
after another, but nothing did her any
good.
Il found the right thing for
her. though, When l started
giving her Tanlac. She began
picking up right soon after she
ben built up wonderfully, her kidneys
don't worry her like they did and she

youngster. Tanlac has given her

gong to school and playing, along with
other children as if she'd never been
sick at all.
Tanlac is sold in Columbia by

Of which Lieut.. Wooten was a mem

comrades.
Another letter from a companion to
Mrs Wooten today said that Lieut..
Wooten was killed near Chateau

with full military honors in a beauti-
full little cemetery at Courcy, where
it was banked with flowers by those
who loved him.
Other letters from companion

the battle in which Lieut.. Wooten

was killed and spoke IN the highest
praise and admiration of the young
hero who was on vitality important
mission during the Marine drive When
he met his death.
The sadness with which Columbia
has been imbued since the news of
Lieut. Wooten's death was received
was demonstrated Sunday morning
when the Sunday school of the First
Methodist church, of which he was
member, adopted resolutions in his
memory. More extended memorial
services will be held at this church
next Sunday Afternoon at o'clock.

Mr.. Bostick has other business that
is too important to be neglected for
this office and h5sd no idea that he

for a Tennessean, especially a Maury

ion of Honor upon the late Lieut.
James c. Wooten.
Yesterday was the first | had
heard of Jim Wooten's death. AS
returned from my long trip ran into
his old outfit and asked for him. They
then told me how he met his death.
He had gone over the lines when a
swarm of Boches attacked him and
his plane was shot up, but his pilot
was able to make 1t back. Jim was
taken at once to the hospital and the
French officer rushed around to get
the French General to, confer the
Legion of Honor. Wooten was I'M
conscious by the time the General
reached him, but he died with the
Cross of the Legion of Honor on his
breast. He certainly died gloriously
and every member of his old squadron
spoke most highly of him. l suppose
you have had all the particulars and
that his mother ana father have re-
ceived the medal. If | had known of
this as went out could have visit
ed his grave"
Describing the battle in which
Lieut.. Wooten was killed, Lieut..
W. l.. McNulty, C. A. r. c., Aero
Squadron, American expeditionary
forces, writing on august 6 to Mrs.
Wooten said
"As one of Jim's best friends and
a consequent sharer in your sorrow
and grief, l wish to express to you
and to Mr. Wooten my sincere sym
patty for his loss. We had been to-
gether since first arriving in France
and on entering observation had
gone to the same schools, and were
members of the same Aero squadron.
Jim was one of the most likable
and best known men in our service.
AS an observer his work was to be
envied. He was our best photograph
er and has also conducted very sue
cessful artillery fire. To give Jim
a mission was to consider it as done.
In the present advance it was vitality
important to know the enemy's intan-
tions and so Jim was given the impo--
tant task of photographing just be-
hind the enemy's front lines. We
had breakfast together and then went
on the field and prepared to take off.
Jim was. eager 20 get away and an
Mous to get his pictures and they
soon took off. The photos were
practically finished when five German
planes appeared and attacked them.
The men on the ground say it was the
prettiest fight they had ever seen
put up. But numbers told and they
fell just inside our own lines. Meth
er he nor Lieut.. Void ever Tegained
consciousness. They died in pursuit
of their duty and heroically made the
great sacrifice Jim had performed
many successful missions and | hope
that consolation may be derived in the
pride and joy that Jim was a good
soldier and above all a man. His
memory will always remain with rs
and I'm sure he's now enjoying eternal

 The hospitality centers offered
 through the hostess houses must be
 kept up. At first there was no place
 in the cantonments where a mother
 could visit her boy or 8 wife her hus-
 band In lhe dusty road women stood, or clustered under the occasional trees.
 Then came the welcome hostess house conducted by the Y. w. c. A., q house
 where the chairs had cushions and
 where the "china would break" and
 immediately the boys wrotc home that
 there was a place now for mother and for wife, and please hurry and come.
 The hostess house at Camp Mcclellan
 is on Il high, picturesque knoll, and will at an early date be thrown open To the
 soldiers and their loved cnes.
 The attractive, cozy Y. w. .. A. rooms in Anniston have served as a meeting place for soldiers and their relatives. proving 2 veritable, haven of refuge to the great influx of strangers who have
 thronged here to be near the Camp Mcclellan men in uniform.
 During the recent influenza epidemic the Y. w. c. A. rooms and tho splen- did corps of workers within it's walls brought cheer and comfort to hundreds of mothers and wives who came to ha near i'll foved ones at the baso hospital, The rooms were used every day as headquarters for all incoming rela- tives. They were conducted from the train to the Y. w. C. A., where masks and passes were provided and babies and baggage checked. Rooms and &C., were secured for the ,isi- tors As the relatives arrived Miss Huff would telephone to the hospital to- secure Information regarding the oI the patients and oft times 1t became necessary to convey heart breaking news. Miss Huff was fre-sI puently called upon during the wee sma' hours to met a train or come to the rooms to tell sad tidlngs. many
