Mr. McFadden be correct, passengers may be
left wholly unprotected at any time. 1t will not

Bertha Garlan." by Arthur Schnitzler
tBoni d. Liyeright. 60e).\ Bertha Garlan
is the story of a remarkable woman char
acter. done with that delicate refined touch
peculiar to Schnitzier. and with that vast
knowledge of human nature, man and wo-
man alike, which stamps everything he
writes with the seal of truth. 1t is one
of the most widely read of Schnitzler's
works Of fiction,
--'via vitae" by s. Slater, jr., (Roxburgh,
Boston, s1.5o,) Via Vitae" marks the en-
try into the literary world of n new author.
1t is a story. of a struggle. Not on the
wars front, ,'ut a battle Of those silent
forces arrayed against each other since the
beginning of civilization-the forces of good
and evil. Via Vitae is the story of y
country girl who loved and was engaged
to an artist. He went to New York and
later to Paris to study and while there
married a wealthy widow. The girl had
gone to the city and studied music. She
was we'll received and was a favorite vocal
list. She felt that her life belonged to 9TH
ers and spent mu,h of her time in hos
pitaIs, singing an l caring for the sick.
This was SO much more satisfactory to her
than the public approval that she tried to
leave the public life. The story tells how
her old lover comes into her life, also
a surgeon Of some note. 1t 10 q very In
teresting little story.

A letter dated July 1. to his pa
rents, says, in part: This is the. first
time 1. have had in which could write
letter for more than a month. tho 1
have sent you some trench, postcards.
Flo. weeks we have been in the thick
of it. You have probably read more
of what we have been doing than I
would be allowed to tell you in a. let
! ter. I thought We were in the war
when we were on the other 'front.' but
that was picnic compared to this.
With shells bursting all around US by
the hundreds, it seems almost impos-
sible that they can miss any of US.
We had no bomb proof dugouts, and
each man, or two men, dug holes large
enough to crawl into and lie down.
Just now we are camped out In the
woods short distance behind the
lines. 1 am feeling fine and had no
trouble getting back to my company
| after being in the hospital
Ny writing paper is issued by the
Y: M. c. A. and the supply is small.
When l set more paper ! shall write
to the boys.
Il wish I could be with you and get
some of your strawberries. There are
a few wild ones here, but they are tho
smallest ones I have ever seen. I
picked half cupful of them last
week when l was at the front, put
some sugar and water on them and
felt that 1 was living high.
Il saw an air fight last week be-
tween a French and a German ma
chine. Only a few shots were ex-
changed, when the German came tum-
bling straight down. turning over and
over. The French machine must have
been hit, too, as it burst into flames
which streanled out like the tail of a
comet. The FrenchmAn made cork
screw descent and landed safely.
II should like very much to have
| a box from home. but I won't ask for
a written ORDER for one yet. I hope
shipping 70 m will be more plentiful
coon, and that you can send me an
other package. I will write you every

cheerful is all ask"

ARMY FIGHTS RATS
Best Remedy Is to Use Cas- Attack
on the Rodents.

Behind British Lines in France,
Aug. 10.-An enemy whose activities
do not figure in the official reports but
against which allied soldiers wage
daily warfare is the rat. Tens of thou
sans of rats, huge sharp-fanged fight
ers, have dug themselves in among the
biIlets and trenches in France and
Flanders, and they are a constant tor
ment. Thanks to modern science,
there has been little or no disease
communicated by the rodents.
Rats multiply rapidly in the trenches
and thrive well. They steal the SOL
dier's rations, disturb his rest and
spitefully bite him when he offers re-
sistance. The pest is hunted with fer
rets, terriers, poison and traps. ami
when particularly numerous given a
gas attack. After the trenches are
drenched with gas. they are generally
clear of rats for long period.

Breed Finds Relief After Suffer-

Wouldn't Take S100 for Good
Tanlac Did Him

One of the strongest evidences OF
the rapidly growing popularity of Tan
lac and of the wonderful results 1t is
accomplishing is the large number of
letters that are being received daily
from well known men and women
thruout the country.
Scarcely a day passes that scores of
letters are not received from grateful
users of Tanlac and their statements
are indeed remarkable. Among the
number recently received is the fol-
lowing letter from William Breed. of
Longview. Tex. which is published
word for word, just as 1t was written.
Longview, Texas
To Whom 1t May Concern:
On November 25, bought one bottle OF
Tanlac and commenced takin same ac-
cording to directions. / weighed only one
hundred and thirty pounds. In ten days
gained seven pounds and I am gaining, at
one hundred and fifty-f;~- pounds at the
present time. Tanlac beats any medicine
that l have ever taken TO build up run
down system. I would not take 500 for
medicine that have ever taken for catarrh
of the head and have tried several differ
ent kinds of catarrh medicines. My eatarrh
is nearly gone. also my stomach trouble of
twenty years has almost disappeared. and
! give all praise to your great medicine.
When | commenced taking Taniac I could
not 10 days work but now l believe
can do as much hard work as any man.
Very truly.
