About That Mileage Rebate.

Sergeant Hardin reported that there
is considerable trouble being ex-
perienced about the securing Of the
IA cents mile rebate to the men
who were discharged and paid less
than the five cents mileage rate
The men who are entitled to any
money under this ruling may take
their discharge papers to the nearest
recruiting office, where certified
copy will be made, which will be sent
to Washington.
That means that men In Keokuk
and vicinity may bring their discharge
certificates to the Keokuk office any
time during this week and have the
copy made, and the form forwarded
to Washington.
Because the office is going to be
open during the entire week it does
not mean that 1t would be advisable
for men who are interested to wait
until the last day, says the recruiting
officers. He expects to be busy and
advises all men to get In early.

Miss 1eIma WIN reels Like A New
Person Since Taking Taa1ac

"Nothing ever helped me until I got
Tanlac and now am just like different
person." said Miss Selma Will, residing
at 799 Lawson street, st. Paul, Mimi. in |
an interview, recently.
"There were times before began TAX
ing Tanlac." continued Miss Will, when
l had such terrible headaches that I
could not do any work for several days. |
My stomach was IN such a bad fix that
could not sst much of anything without
suffering intense cramping pains after
wards. My appetite was very poor aud
I was go run down and weak that would
frequently have dizzy spells and was ex-
tremely nervous. My sleep seemed to do
me very little good as always got up in
the mornings feeling just as tired and
worn out as on retiring at night. Ihave
taken many kinds of medicines and doc
tored for long time but nothing seemed
to do me any good.
"F,nally my sister persuaded me to
try Tanlac, as she had gotten such
splendid results from it, and by the time
l had finished my second bottle had a
good appetite and felt better in every
way. My stomach never bothers me now
no matter what eat and never have
headache nor pain of any kind. Really,
1 am feeling just fine. better than have
in the past five years, and there's moth.
ing too good for me to say for Tanlac."
There are thousands of people who
complain of being nervous and run
down. They are not sick exactly, but
feel tired out and good for nothing most
of the time. They need something to
build them up and throw off the symp.
toms of this weakened. debilitated con.
dition.
The system, besides being purified by
Tanlac, is toned up AMI invigorated as
the medicine, aside from assisting the
blood, reinvigorates the constitution,
overcoming as it seems to quickly do,
nervousness, indigestion, non.assimila-
tion of the food, headaches, backaches,
kidney complaints and many other
ailments that are SO common to the
Thousands Of half-sick, depressed men
and women.

IN the years Immediately following
his graduation from the Military

President Roosevelt appointed him
commander-in-chief of the army of

pacity he did his work so thorough
ly that when he left Cuba he was
given an ovation such as few Of

GANG WANTS
SUNDAY TO co.;
he ADDS week
because Certain Faction Would
Have Him Leave Town Evangel-
ist WIN Extend Time.

Rev william A Sunday, evan
galist. IL - extend his stay n Rock
Island one wees. and instead Of
brtu ling -as meetings to clone
two weeks from yesterday. he will
close hia campaign three weefs
fro yesterday. This was the de-
cisiOn upon which he has arrived
and which he announced yesterday.
He feeIs that the meetings SO far
cOndu; ted have been OF such in
estimahle value and that they are
bringing such splendid resuIts that
he dare not cut them of In the
heighth of their interest.
You people have been so en-
thusiastic and generous in your re-
ceptiOn Of my party and me that I
feel constrained to add a week to
my campaign IN Rock Island and
so I will close my work three
weeks from today instead of two
weeks from today, making a seven
weeks stay instead of six" said
M Sunday yesterday morning at
the first service of the day. "And
besides, there's a gang here in
these quad cities who are so anx-
1ous Tor me to leave town that I'm
going to stay here a little longer"
This arrangement will give Mr.
Sunday but one weeks rest before
be begins his next campaign which
will be at Chattanooga, Tenn. This
will take him up till about Dec. 20.
After a short rest the party will go
to Norfolk, Va, then to Houston,
Tex, and then to Oklahoma City.
When Mr.. Sunday planned his
Rock Island campaign he arranged
it with the hopes that he might
have two weeks rest at his ranch
in Oregon, hoping that he would
have the chance to go out there
and see the hogs and cows and
horses and chickens and how the
farm is coming, but he will deny
himself this pleasure with the con-
tinuatiOn of the meetings here.

Sunday Would Rather Have Standing Room
In Heaven Than Own World and Go to Hell

Any man that would laugh at
you for taking q stand for Jesus
Christ hasn't the frat principle OF
manhood in him. Any man that
would laugh at you and make you
ashamed OF yourself that you had
done this is SO low down, my
friend that wouldn't disgrace this
pulpit by comparing him with
anything. I wouldn't spit on him
or wipe my feet on him.
The man who is brave enough TO
look his enemy in the face ought to
be brave enough to take his stand
on the side of Jesus Christ and for
his truth, for there is no place on
Gods earth where you have a bet
ter opportunity to show your real
true manhood than when you stand
up and openly and braYely and
truly acknowledge God and his
truth.
What Is Manhood
It's a false idea that a good many
people have as to what constitutes
manhood. Some seem to think it
is physical strength. There was
EOdllLD5OH &c COulu Gail O1 llAc
gates as easily as you could lug
a pillow on your lap and yet he
laid his head on a woman's lap
and she sheared his locks and he
died.
Here you are in business. You
are under just as much ALLEGATION
as a business man to be able to tell
a man how to die as you are to
sell him a commodity. No matter
what you may possess You are I'M
der just as much obligation.
Fast living is no test of man
hood. You are not a man because
you can drink more than the rest
of the bunch, because you can
drink 90 mugs OF booze and then
walk home straight. That doesn't
constitute manhood! You're not a
man because your name happens TO
be on the lips of someone down in
the haunts of shame. You're not a
man because some fellow hits you
on the back and calls you a dead
game sport. That's no compliment!
That's no ideal OF manhood in this
old world,
l think most men expect to be
Christians. but they seem to imag-
inc it is manly to put off the claims
of religion and squeeze this old
world like you would a lemon and
then at the end of a misspent life.
just before they phone for the IN
dertaker, call for the preacher and
pray and creep into the kingdom of
God because of his long suffering
and mercy!
