HERALD WRITES 1902

With this issue, the Herald writes
"3O.' With the press this would gen.
orally mean that this issue was the
last to be put out, and that the Herald
was ready to give up the ghost. This,
however, happily, is not the case. 1t
means that the Herald with this issue
is beginning its 30th volume, and I'M
der all the circumstances of the times,
is doing fairly WELL The Herald was
first published in March 1889, and af-
ter turbulent career under the guild
ance of various helmsmen, it became
the property of the present owners in
1895. Without successful contradiction
we believe we can say that the course
of the Herald on matters pertaining to
the public good has been consistent to
a degree, and very generally it has
met the approval of the people. OF
course we always hope that we can is
sue better and hi gger paper, but
common sense as well as business sense
must govern in these matters-and the
field must be taken into consideration.
The question with most newspapers to-
day is the problem of excessive cost
and possible shortage of help on ac-
count of the war. To help in this sit
of efficiency, the Herald this week
made itself a birthday present. It in
stalled a three decker Intertype and
auxiliary type casting machine with

Gently and other frst-class machinery
and equipment in the newspaper and

ed by few establishments of the kind
in towns many times the size of Lit

whole establishment, and as soon as
we get Strengthened out, we would be
pleased to have the public look it over.
We appreciate the business-and this
includes that of our subscribers, q num-
Der of whom have been with US since
the paper was first launched-that our
patrons have favored us with, and we
trust that we will continue to merit
their confidence and approval.

Headquarters American Troops in
France, March 7.-American troops on
still another place on the French
front have been raided by Germans
who were repulsed with losses. This
is the first time permission is given
to mention this engagement. The Am
erican forces entered the battle line
in certain place in Lorraine. The
French commander congratulated the
Americans on their behavior.
Hold Eight Miles Of Trenches.
Washington, March 7.-American
troops are now holding more than
eight miles of trenches on the battle
front in France, it is learned, al
though in an airline their frontage is
only about four and half miles. This
frontage is being gradually extended.
Irregularity of the trench lines is
responsible for their eight miles of
length. They are laid out so that
thanking fire may be obtained along
every part of the front. Strong points
containing machine guns jut out for
this purpose. The trenches also fol-
low any protective slope Of the coun-
try and wander up and down hill.
The American sector is understood
to be divisional frontage which
means that at least three divisions OF
American troops are there to give the
necessary support in depth for the
front liz IS.
Pershing to Name Commander.
This fact has aroused speculation
here as to who will be selected by
General Pershing to command the first
corps of his army. Maj. Gen. Hunter
Liggett is known to have acted in
that capacity, but as yet the expedi-
tionary commander mas not made any
recommendation.
It is possible the French system
will be followed in the American army
so far as the appointment of corps
commanders goes. 1t is the custom
in France to select any one of the
division commanders in a corps and
to place him at the head of the corps.
He retains his rank as division CON-
mander, however, and in the case Of
the American army that would be a
major general. If the French practice
is adopted, the grade of lieutenant
general may be employed only for
field army commanders.

YEARS DRAFT TO
TOTAL 100000 MEN.
WAR Department PLANS DO
NOT CALL FOR CREATION OF
ADDITIONAL DIVISIONS.
TWO ALLOTMENTS PREPARED
Recruits to Be Used TO FIJI Existing
Units and For Replacement De-
tachments-First Call Ex-
pected Before June.

Washington, March 7.-While a
large number of men will be called
out during the present year to fill up
the army and complete It's organiza.
ton, it is learned that War depart
ment plans do not call for the crea.
ton of any additional divisions in
1918.
The announcement concerning the
second draft expected soon from Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, may
outline the manner in which the L..
100000 men-probably not much in ex.
cess of 800,000-are to be summoned
gradually during the year to complete
the existing organizations.
Delay in the announcement as to
due to uncertainty as to the method
to be followed in al1otting quotas to
the states. The Senate already mas
passed, and the House military com.
mittee has favorably reported an
amendment to the law to base the
quota on the number of men in Class
/, instead Of on the total registration
Of a state.
Two Allotments Prepared.
This change is regarded as certain,
but to avoid further delay, schedules
of allotments under both systems have
been prepared at the provost marshal
generals office ready to go out as
soon as final action is taken.
AS to the date of the second draft,
members of congress from agricul.
tural sections have been practically
assured that no withdrawal of men
from civil life was contemplated that
would embarass harvesting.
1t has been indicated, however, that
relatively small number of men must
be called to the colors prior to June +
That process is expected to start in
April, when equipment, clothing and
quarters will be available. The men
are needed to fill up full strength
divisions slated for early departure
to Europe, and also for field army
and corps troops not attached to di
visions.
Needed to Replace Casualties.
The replacement detachments also
must go forward at an accelerating
rate since American troops are now
actually holding a sector of the
French front and men are being killed
or wounded in action every day.
The completion of the full program
of the War department without Great
ing any additional divisions probably
will absorb in the neighborhood OF
100000 men. The extent to which 1t
has been necessary to increase artil.
lery quotas throughout the army, and
to add special units of all sorts has
surprised every officer and accounts
for the existing shortage to a large
extent.
The number of replacement troops
necessary is worked out in scientific
way, based on experience at the front
A fixed percentage for each arm of
the service is established. Among the
noncombatant arms, this is very
small; but it is quite high among the
front line troops.
100000 Men This Year.
While official figures are not avail
able, it is estimated that something
more than 100000 will be necessary
for the 1918 program, making 100000
necessary to call out during this year,

MANY PEOPLE REPORT
BIG GAINS IN WEIGHT
Thousands of Thin, Frail
People Are Restored to
Health and Gain Rapid

Tanlac.

One of the most noteworthy fea-
lures in connection with the intro
duction of Tanlac, and the one that
stands out more prominently than
any other. perhaps, is the very large
number of well-known men and
women from all parts of the country
who have recently reported an
astonishing and rapid Increase in
weight as result of it's use.
When so many well-known people
of unquestioned integrity make
statement after statement, each cor
roborating the other, the truth of
such statements can no longer be
doubted.
Thousands have testified that this
Famous medicine has completely re-
stored them to health and strength
after every other medicine and the
most skilled medical treatment have

One of the most remarkable cases
on record is that of Mrs. Charles
Peden. of Huntsville. Ala, whose
statement appears below. Mrs.
Peden, according to her own signed
statement, gained twenty-seven (2D
pounds in only a few weeks time,
and her case has created a wide
spread interest over the entire coun-
try. She is reported to have re-
ceived over eight hundred $500 let
tiers regarding her statement since
publication.
Hundreds of others almost as re-
markable have recently been re-
ceived, several of which are also
published below.

A Real Sacrifice

Tacoma has a true patriot, the
kind tha' does not think of per-
sonal gain or self glorification.
People, meet Walter Botsford
whom we are very proud even to
write about!
No, he hasn't gotten himself
shot, injured nor he hasn't even
captured a German spy.
Walter p. Botsforf was one of
the organizers of the old Sth
company of the C. A. c. He was
captain in the organization and
passed the officers training school
with the rank of captain.
Capt. Botsford waited in vain
for an assignment, it was promis-
ed, it was coming but the red
tape of war was delaying 1t.
Then one day Capt. Botsford
that was came back from the re-
cruiting station as Private Bots
ford, an enlisted man. He has
now. however, been promoted to
a sergeant, and is back at his
home in Fern Hill visiting for a
few days before he sails for some
real service on the other side.

MERCHANT GAINS
FIFTEEN POUNDS

Honestly, ! have picked up so
much can't button my clothes, and
before / took Tanlac they were so
loose l could hardly keep them on"
was the characteristic statement
made by Elton Chatterson. the hard
ware dealer of 1875 East Jefferson
avenue, Detroit. Mich, recently.
When i first began taking Tan
lac" Mr.. Chatterson continued. II
was just about down and out as a
result of two years suffering from
catarrh and stomach trouble, and my
wife and l had decided l had better
go to bed and let her take over my
petite and there were very few
things ! could eat at all. I could eat
no meats or vegetables, and what l
ate felt like knots in my stom-
ach and caused me great pain. !
was constantly coughing off the
phlegm and mucus that collected in
my throat, and L could hardly sleep
at all. / tried all kinds of treat
ments and medicine and was finally
told nothing more could be done for
me. l just felt miserable all the
time. Medicine Just seemed to have
no effect in my case. and I lost
weight and kept going down.
About the wisest thing l ever
did was to get Tanlac, for now l
feel like 1 had been made over into
a new man. My suffering is all over.
I eat just anything l want-meat
and vegetables of all kinds-and
feel good afterwards. l have gain
ed all of fifteen pounds, maybe
more, am as active as / ever was
and my work is easy. Ny catarrhai
trouble and nervousness are gone
and l sleep every night like a child.
Tanlac will never be out of my
house, and I feel that the people of
Detroit are fortunate to be able to
get such a valuable medicine"

TAKING TANLAC
Frank Curry Says He
Feels Thirty Years
Younger-Troubles
Overcome.

Remarkable indeed, was the state
who lives at 317 Post street, Salt
Lake City, Utah, and is known
turnout the city as an expert baker.
Mr.. Curry declared that he has actu-
ally gained twenty pounds by taxi
ing a few bottles of Tanlac and that
while he is now past sixty years
of age he really doesn't feel a day
over thirty. His complete state
ment follows:
The way this Tanlac has restored
my health and built me up is beyond
explaining. In fact, / wonder my
self how any medicine could do any
body as much good as it has me.
Five years ago, when ! realized my
system was getting all rundown
and l began to feel so depressed, j
started out to find a remedy to re-
lieve my condition. Well. l tried
numbers of things that were recon-
mended but continued to get worse
instead of better So about two
years ago / began to have intense
pains from my shoulders on down
into my hips. My back became
weak and my kidneys and bladder
got so derahged that 1 lost control
to n great extent. l suffered so /
couldn't lie on either side, and be-
tween constantly being disturbed by
my kidneys, extreme nervousness
and misery, / could never sleep more
than an hour or two at night, and
then l had to lie on my back to get
any ease or rest at all. NY liver
was in bad shape. l was badly
constipated and l often had severe
dizzy spells. My stomach couldn't
digest anything, my food formed lots
of gas and uric acid and my right
side hurt me all the time. In fact,
l was in pain every hour, day and
night, and besides this / felt slug
gish, tired and no. account all the
time, and unfit for anything.
Il saw where Tanlac was doing so
much for others that ] decided to
see If there was anything in it for
me. SO, on December 18th, l got
my first bottle, and after using it
for several days / noticed the pains
in my arms, back and other parts
of my body were leaving me. Then
my kidneys got better and my nerves
SOl Ill IL
My kidneys never bother me now,
| sleep all night like a log and am
full of new life and energy. really
feel thirty years younger, and you
can imagine my surprise when l got
on the scales and found l had actu-
ally gained twenty pounds in
weight. ] consider Tanlac to be the
greatest of all medicines, for what
l have gotten from 1t is beyond my
words to express. / know there are
lots of other people who need just
such a medicine and / feel that it
is nothing but right for me to tell
them about it,
