August we were again in the front
waves and pursued the enemy to
the Nesle river, where we made
several unsuccessful attempts to
cross. About the middle of August
we were taken from the front lines
and again replaced and taken to Il
training area for two weeks.
The first of September found us
again on the move and in reserve on
the Verdun front. Here we spent
many merry CD nights Of marching
and countermarching, under con-
stant danger of shell and airplanes.
We were at St. Mihiel, although it
was such poor scrap that we were
not carried into the front lines.
From there we were transferred to
the vicinity Of Mont, which was at
tackled on September 26th. From
then until the middle OF October the
regiment was continuously under
neavy fire, and it was here that the
39th really showed what was in her.
for we took the lead and maintained
it at all the time. This was some
scrap and we'll worth being in. We
were relieved and sent by marching
to Il rest camp. which took about ten
days hard marching. We spent a
week there and again were started

We left Angrcs Gin box cars, the
most popular mode OF travel IN
France). and proceeded via Dijon
and Lyon, and thence down the
Rhonc valley. The country pre-
Iented nothing of more than passing
interest in the way of natural beauty
until Lyon was passed. Some Of
the views along the Rhone were
rather impressive. The low, but
steep hills, crowned by the remains
cf old castles and towns. and the
slopes and valleys covered with
modern French these. with
the snow-capped mountains in the
Background, could not fail to excite

Vals Is small village situated
about IS kilometcrs south Of Lyon

18th century, has been the scene Of

things boasts Of having had its soil

NEIGHBORs ARE ALL
TALKING ABOUT IT
Spivey Says Tanlac Has Built Up
His Wife So She Is Working
For the First Time in
Twelve Years.

"You should hear the way our
neighbors are talking about Tanlac
since my wife's recovery" said w. A.
Spivey, motorman for the Kansas
City Metropolitan Street Railway and
living at 116 South Church St., Olathe,
Kansas.
"She'd been in poor health for four
teen years" he continued, "and never
got any relief from anything she took.
She had no appetite and the little she
did eat soured on her stomach, and gas
would form and make her so miserable
she'd have to lie down. She had an
awful pain in the small of her back
and suffered from binding headaches,
and she would get so dizzy at times as
to almost fall. She was so nervous
she could hardly sleep and twice she
got so bad off that we gave her up.
al got her bottle of Tanlac about
three months ago and she began to
improve at once on taking it. She has
good appetite now and can eat any
thing she wants and never suffers at
all from sour stomach or gas, and she
has gained twenty-eight pounds in the
past two months. Her headaches are
gone, her back does not hurt her any
more, her nerves are quiet and she
sleeps fine all night. She is doing all
her housework, too, for the first time
in twelve years"
Tanlac is sold in Emmett by H. T.
Davis, in Montour by E. Vadney, in
Ola by F. w. Wharton, and in Montour
by Montour Mere Co.

Eat to Break Up Cold.

When a cold first starts physicians
usually advise a light laxative diet
consisting chiefly of hot lemonade OF
orangeade, broths or gruels, with
crisp toast, baked potatoes, mild,
stewed fruits and vegetables. After
this for few days, until the cold
seems to be broken, 1t is well to eat
an ordinary diet, with plenty OF fruits
and vegetables. To aid the body in
recovering eat meals which give more
fuel value than usual.

 NOW IN RAISING SHEEP

As result of high prices of wool and mutton and the value of sheep as weed and waste utilizers, western irri- gation farmers are keeping more and larger flocks. This is shown by re- ports to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. As rule these farm flocks are of good breeding, many consisting of pure-bred animals, their owners making a speciality of selling pure-bred ram lambs to range country stockmen, who do not reserve breeding stock from year to year. Several projects are now operating weed pools, the main function of which is to concentrate the wool in large quantities and develop keener compe- tition among buyers. Combination also favors grading and better classi- flying of wool and allows a small pro- ducer to realize greater profits from his sheep-farming operations.
