SOLDIERS ALLoTMENTs
Dependents Made to Wait for
Months

| Delay in receiving checks for
payment Of allotments made by
4 soldiers who have been in the
service or who are still in the
service, has caused considerable
unrest OH the part Of relatives of
soldiers who are dependent to a
certain degree on the money for
support. Cases are frequent where
men have been in the service
months and no allotment has been
forthcoming. Still again some
relatives have expected an allot-
ment before it could go through
the proper channels and be paid.
In cases where allotments have
been made and not received the
proper>~place to take the matter
up with is directly with the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance and
Allotments, Washington, D. G.
This is done in many instances
without securing the desired re-
suit due to the insufficient amount
of information furnished the bu-
reau in the letter written.
The full name of the man should
be given in the letter. Also his
present station, his regiment, |
company or organization and |

ton full information should be
given regarding any transfers
that have taken place. As for in.

Free Garden Seeds

The Herald has received from
Congressman Drane for free dis
tribution amongst its subscribers
a lot of garden seeds for immed-
late planting. They are put up in
packets containing one paper
each of beet, carrot, lettuce, rad
ish and watermelon seed, all of
which have been tested and are of
superior quality.
Herald subscribers wishing to
plant any of these seeds will
please call at the office at once and
get them. They cost nothing save
the little trouble Of calling or
writing for them.
To subscribers out of town, they
will be sent by mail ON request
one package to each.
These seed were selected and
packed by the government for
spring planting: hence, they
should be put in the ground as
soon as possible.

Governor Gilchrist reads a large
number Of our Florida papers, and
he's good judge of papers, too.
He says that Phil Armstrong, is
doing a great deal to make the
world better.
He wonders really where on
earth the philosopher gets it all.
That much knowledge in one
man s head, he thinks, might cause
an explosion.
Take Armstrong; column, says
the governor, and clip his sayings
for five years; then make them
into a book, and you will have a
volume equal to the writings OF
Soloman.
Any way, the governor says he
don't see how Soloman in all his
glory could have written all the |

patriarch, and support a thousand
wives, when some men can't even

eminent sent out printed form
stating the soldier was insured

not a policy and as a matter of

PICTURE SHOWS THE
AMERICAN SPIRIT.

"The Thing We Love-" the latest
Paramount picture starring Wallace
Reid, contains of the strongest patri-
otic appeals ever filmed. 1t is to be
sfcwn at the Pastime theatre next
Wednesday. From an idealistic, i'm
practical pacifst, through gradual
stages we watch the progression Of
the hero to self-sacrificing, high
hearted volunteer. The mental stages
that he passed through will be recog-
nized by many loyal American as
exactly the fight they fought, the bat
ties they had with themselves until
they came to full realization of "The
Thing We Love-" The authors and
the scenario writer have struck the
chord that will find it's response in the
heart of every American man, woman
and child.
Blue Blazes' Rawden," with VIM.

fourth appearance of the famous Ince

him in the role of hardy lumberjack

Northwest. In place of the familiar

western types are replaced by habit

THE OPEN FORUM.
wESTPHAL,T THE TOWN KNOCKER
(By DR.. Won Zellen.)

Considering all abuses heaped upon
me by one Westphal, editor of the Up
per Peninsula Farmer, where he calls
me liar, thief, CRATER, Stacker,
a hun. and neglector of human lives,
cannot remain silent, even if / am
over-stepping the etiquette of the
medical profession to air my grievanc-
es in public. If l intended to remove
myself TO some remote locality where
these accusations would be merely his
tory, / would hesitate to answer n
multitude of lies, because then would
enjoy giving the antagonistic public
who do not like me the pleasure of
feeling that ! was wrong and they
were right, but as will be here some
time after said Westphal has ceased
his TRADE and has been forgotten. I
Will answer these accusations with the
knowledge that will be judged by the
people in as fair-minded a way as I
know they will.
The history of Westphal am not
yet able to PROFOUND to you in detail;
there are links to be filled out; but let
US leave that to other issues until l
can get full line of associates and in
innate connections, political and 9TH
erwise. OF course this does not inter-
est the public so much as vindica-
tion Of myself and my integrity as a
man and human, but in order to show
all sides and the baseness and vileness
OF the attacking party, it might be
charming to know little of his pri-
vate history, and will accommodate; !;
but why deviate?
Westphal in issue No. 1 accuses me
OF grating On the county for $3.50 90
year Of infectious diseases, but If
this is graft there has been a continu-
al graft of this nature for seventeen
years and the supervisors of the coun-
ty have made contracts with different
doctors for infectious diseases at GER
tain stipulated sums for each year so
that there should not be another enor-
nous liability which the county would
have to meet in emergencies like the
one of 1901 and 1902. The state leg
islature passed law to enable the su-
pervisors to make such an agreement.
and If the supervisors are grafters, so
is the state legislature for making the
law. The law does not dictate that
the supervisors shall accept contracts
only where the doctors are forced to
bid against each other until Il would
be q physical impossibility to profess
sionally care for people at the stipu-
lated bid. The supervisors also set
the salaries Of all county officials. If
county clerks, treasurers, sheriffs were
made to bid against each other, think
Of the mess we would be in.

ty Is a. important as the social, ju-
dicial and legal part, and should be

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid Of a cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many use and its value
fully proven. No matter what RENE
dy you use, however, care must be
taken not to contract second cold be-
fore you have recovered from the first
one, and there Is serious danger Of
this. A man Of middle age or older
should 60 to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered, II iss better to stay
