A JACKSON COUNTY
boy IN FRANCE

DedI EultOT.-l am one OF the
boys who have been there and |
am sending you the following lines
for publication for the benefit of
folks at home, and especially to the
boys who have only seen service in
the States, but who think they
would have enjoyed a term on some
active front. l am sorry indeed for
them that they were so unfortunate
as to have had to stay at home.
The sound of shrapnel shells is any,
thing but the sweetest of music and
the mention of gas and machine
gun bullets. which they have never
heard. even now brings back un-
pleasant memories to my mind. No
doubt they think they have missed
somethine-and they sure have, for
the show is over and they were
absent. Had they been along the
Meuse river for the few weeks pre-
vious to the signing of the armistice
they would certainly have had the
opportunity to witness many things.
any Of which would have changed
their minds.
Twill tell about one thirty hour
period, ending at II o'clock. Nov.
18th. Firing had hardly ceased for
a minute of the time and as We
were moving forward for the attack
most of the Boche guns were trained
on our advancing columns and they
did not waste many shells getting
the range, as it was broad daylight
when we neared their first lines.
Many of the boys who went in that
day are now lying in lonely graves
in France. Isaw many boys blocked
of with bursting shells. / surssfeel
lucky myself. But most of the boys
bumped off in my battalion was
caused by machine gun bullets on
the last morning of the war. You
boys at home may think you would
have liked a taste of war, but l have
seen touch of hell. and there were
none near me who were not thank
ful when II o'clock came on that
eventful day; for not a gun was fired
after the hour. Almost Immediately
the Boche came out to shake hands
and our time since then has been
a long series of hard hikes and
drills. II you don't understand
about these hikes, ask your son or
brother. He can tell you.
Very respectfully
Sgt. JAMES C. PANGLE.

AS | think of our dead heroes
these words come to my mind:
The hard fighing soldiers. their dam
gers were great;
And many. while fighting, met
their sad fate.
They were doing their duty. as all
soldiers do.
Shut out from all pleasures and
darling ones, too.
While they were fighting for those
whom they love,
The shrapnel that killed them came
from above.
They were only soldiers and FIGHT.
ing for liberty;
They were brave soldiers but now
they are gone.
Just why they were taken no one
can tell.
Their fighting is over: poor soldiers,
farewell.
They were always ready each com.
mand to obey;
And looking to liberty. the only
true way.
God pity such soldiers and carry
them to rest.
And protect from all dangers with
your dear strong arm.
They will always be ready your
calls to obey;
And looking to Jesus, the only true
way.
They leave their companions and
loved ones. too,
To mourn their deaths as all heroes
do.
God pity the mother who mourns
for her son,
And cause her to rejoice for the
good he has done.
Let us stand ready all calls to obey,
And fighting for liberty always the
true way.

Trained Nurse
Now Testifies
Says She Feels Made Over
Since Taking Tanlac
Gains Nine Pounds.

Mrs. F. O. Forester, a trained
nurse residing at the Grand Central
Hotel, Denver. Colo, is but one of
this high profession who have testi-
fed to the merits of Tanlac. Mrs.
Forester recently said:
I had been in miserable health
seven years, suffering from indiees-
ton. Everything ate would sour
and even cold water would cause
me much distress. The pains in my
chest and about my heart were al
most unbearable at times and l suf-
fered terribly from neuralgia. l
would have vomiting spells laily
and for three months couldn't re-
tain a thing on my stomach but
oatmeal. Often at night l would
wake up feeling like was smother
ing to death and would have to get
up out of bed and stand on my
feet awhile to get my breath.
One of my friends who knew of
my awful condition and who had
been benefited by Tanlac advised
me to try it, did so and my relief
has been remarkable. Really Ifeel
like have been made over again.
/ have already gained nine pounds
in weight and intend to keep on
taking Tanlac as long as it does me
as much good as it is now
Tanlac is sold by all first class
druggists.
Mrs. Jesse L. billiard entertained
a few friends Wednesday afternoon,
complimentary to Mrs. Jack Morris,
who leaves next Sunday for visit
to her parents in Oregon. After an
interesting contest delicious refresh
ments were served.

CAMDEN TROLLEY
SERVICE ASSA|LED
City Council Demands Public
Service Corporation Care
for Rush Crowds
NEW TAXI RATES FAVORED

Camden City Council has lacked
up" the Public Service Railway Com
pany for its failure to provide sufficient
cars during rush hours.
Several members of City Council en-
gagged in word arguments when the
ordinance prohibiting passengers from
riding on tops, sides. steps or bumpers
of trolley cars was introduced. 1t was
this ordinance that brought out the
action to request the Public Service
Company to provide better service, es-
pecially during rush hours.
Councilman Jones, of the Sixth ward
stated that New York Shipyard work
men had to ride on the steps of the
trolley cars going to and returning from
work He characterized the ordinance
as unfair to them. 1t was stated that
six workmPn had been killed this yeaI
as the result of riding on inside steps
of trolley cars. The ordinance wa.
amended to permit riding on the outside
| steps and bumpers of cars.
The revised taxicab ordinance wa
laid over for public hearing. Th'
rates decided on We're to allow on,
or two passengers to ride for fift,
cents in the first twelve blocks, with al
additional fifty cents for each add
| tional dozen squares or less distance.
President Jester appointed a commit
tee of councilmen to investigate trafii
conditions in the city. 1t was ais
voted to expend $4,000 for floats ant

LABOR DAY R. R. RUSH
TO Be BIGGEST EVER
Director Mark h am Predicts
That Seashore Travel Will
Break All Records
USE SOME WOODEN COACHES

The heaviest Labor Day scashore
travel in the history of railroad trans
portation is expected next Monday by
C.. II. Markham. regional director of
railroads.
The Lab.,, Day rush to South Jer-
scy resorts. with Atlantic City drawing
the biggest crowds. will be four day
exodus. Many business establishments
will be closed all day tomorrow and
advance hosts will start for the beaches
this afternoon.
So great is the volume of traffic ex
pccted. based on careful traffic figures
for several years. that Regional Di-
rector Markham announced the Penn
sylvania Railroad has to call into serv-
ice all the wooden coaches available,
coaches of the type used in workmcn S
trains, with the seats running length
wise.
One day excursion trains will be rur
on Labor Day. The first excursion trair
is to leave Market street wharf at ) a;
a. m. Trains will be run as fast al
possible after that hour. After a strinl
of coaches discharges pleasure seekers
at a resort the coaches will be hurried
back as "empties" to Camden for new
loads.
