CAPTURED SAMMEES
TO HAVE GOOD CARE
War Department Sets Aside Sum to
be Used in Germany.

Washington, April 18-Captured
American soldiers will be given the
best of care during their enforced So
journ in Germany
1t was learned today the state de
partment has requested the sum OF
$4,000 to be set aside by the war de-
partment for that purpose. The plan
is to place this sum of money in the
hands Of the Spanish ambassador al
Berlin to be used for the purchase of
extras that are not allowed prisoners
under the international law.
This sum will enable Americans
that have been wounded so severely
that amputation is necessary, to be
supplied with artificial limbs, for
the manufacture of which Germany
is famous.
The money may also be used in
providing sports materials, such, as
footballs and bats and the various in
door games by which the prisoners
may while away the long hours.
The war department has taken the
request under advisement, but it is
understood the suggestion will re-
ceive approval and the funds be SD
disposed

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Everyone in high school is either
buying receipt for an Annual, or
they are intending to do So "A book
in every high school pupils home is
the motto OF the sales manager and
from the way he is selling receipts
it looks as ii there will be an Annual
in every home. There should be an
Annual in every home in Butler, be-
cause this book is something that per-
tains to the school and the school life
OF the students.
There are several cases of the
"mumps' in the school now. Some
are coming back after having had
them while others have just left
school on account OF having contract
ed them.
The annual inter-society track meet
will be held Friday evening May sd.
The track team captains of the two
societies are Emmett Bullock, Delta
Kappa; Emerson Campbell, Alpha
Sigma. Last year the Delta Kappa S
had an easy time, winning the meet,
but this year there is more opposition
offered by the Alpha Signals. As
we'll as it can be figured out, the meet
this year will be nip and tuck all the
way and it is thought that it will not
be decided until the last event is
over.
Rev. Moore, of the Christian
Church addressed the students last
Tuesday morning on Ideas and
Ideals" He said that we should have
both ideas and ideals but that we
should not let one take the place OF
both. lic paid fine tribute to Presi-
dent Wilson. He said the president
had both ideas and ideals. He told a
little story to show that Mr.. Wilson
is man OF ideas. So the story goes:
y large corporation wanted a motto,
so they had the professor of English
at Harvard write one. After this pro-
lessor had written it, it was thought |
that the motto could not be improved |
upon. They took it to the president
and he picked it to pieces, adding
some here and subtractng some there.
After he had finished it, it was one oi
the best mottos of any business house
i'll the United States. And yet Mr..
Moore said, some OF the politicians
said that this school teacher (Mr.
Wilson, would never be able to man
age affairs at the White House" Mr..
Moorc's talk was plendid and prac-
tical. The students enjoyed it very
much and will remember it.

An Easy Way
to Reduce Flesh
Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco

Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your flesh? Some
thing that does not require dieting
or caiisthenics? Well, right here you
have it in 5grain tassco tablets,
which you may secure at your drug
gist's. They are pleasant to take, per-
fectly harmless and cause no restric-
tions OF habit or eating, and reduce
the flesh, little by little, until you are
down to the number of pounds you
wish TO weigh. Too much flesh is un-
desirable, as most quite stout people
will readily admit. and it detracts from
ones good appearance; makes one
clunsy and short OF breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there S this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory
remedy at your druggists. Tassco
tablets don't forget the name) are
recommended by physicians and are
guaranteed to be perfectly harmless.
Refuse substitutes, if you can not
come to our store, we will mail tassco
to you.-Adv.

Every Woman Should Use
Town Talk Tablets for Comfort

Women that are thin, pale, hol-
low-chested, sunken-cheeked who
are losing flesh, can't sleep, have
foul breath, bad taste in the
mouth who worry, fret, have hys-
terra and crying spells, and are all
run down, have ailments pro-
duced by diseased or impover-
ished condition of the blood.
Their poor bodies need nourish-
ment. Town Talk Tablets cure
all these symptoms as if by
magic. They cure the periodical
sufferings that are peculiar to
women. 1t makes them healthy
and happy, because it puts new
life. into their system, new energy
into their veins, which nourishes
the lungs, the heart, the kidneys,
stomach, bowels and other Or
g1ns. Here is . woman who has
passed through the sufferings
that Thousands Of women just
