SOLDIER MISSING SINCE =.
MARCH 10 FOUND MURDERED

Camp Zachary Taylor authorities
were notified of the finding of the
body of Corp. Raphael Perlmutter
of the Twenty-sixth Infantry. Band
who disappeared March 16 at Cooke
Vile. Tenn. Perlmutter's body,
with the threat cut and three bullet
holes in the head, was discovered
just a mile outside of Cookeville.
Corporal Perlmutter had been on
recruiting duty with the band unit
three weeks at the time of his dis
appearance.
The theory of foul play was based
on the fact that Perlmutter, accord
ing to another member of the band,
left with the avowed intention OF
finding some "moonshine" whisky,
while another soldier in the unit
said Perlmutter carried a number OF
bank drafts with him.
The information received from
Cookevilie thew no light on the cir
cumstances of the murder. The bo-
dy may be ordered sent to Camp
Zachary Taylor for burial.
Perlmutter's home address was
627 Fox Street. Bronx, New York.
He had been on recruiting duty
three weeks when he disappeared.
His service record shows eighteen
months duty with the A. E. F. He
re-enlisted for year at Camp
Meade. Md.

people do not have the confidence in

Scores Of People Have Found
Trutona Amazingly Effective
For Prevention Of Influenza
1--WE STILL HAVE NO CURE FOR INFLUENZA
Disseminating Positive Information Gven Gut by
Surgeon General Blue of the Public Health Service
PREVENTION Now Only Alternative

For something like eighteen
months, doctors chemists and SCENT
lists have been trying to find the
germ which has caused so much de-
struction and loss Of life in this
country. In the army alone, dur
ing the recent conflict, this epidemic
was the cause OF more casualties
than all the shells, gas and horrors
that the Hun could invent. As yet,
as witnessed by the above, science
has been unable to make any pro-
gress against this ravaging disease.
Its attack is sudden, its work is
rapid, and the results are terrible.
Even il the victim is fortunate
enough to escape with his life, often
times he is left in a weakened, run
down condition from which it is
extremely hard to recover.
Now here's where TRUTONA
comes in. 1t has been proved in
countless numbers of cases, proved
by actual experiment which offers
the best kind Of evidence, that this
Perfect Tonic is just the thing to
build up . constitution broken down
by the Inaueasa. From the very
nature of it's composition and the
ingredients it contains, it is a
strength giving, system purifying
medicine which quickly rebuilds the
patient whose vitality is at the low
water mark.
Health officials tell us that If We
expect to over come this plague, to
put a stop to its wide spread pro-
gress, individuals MUST take care
of themselves. To say that can
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" is but to quote an
old, time worn adage; but if it were
ever true, if it ever had a grain of
sense and meaning, it certainly is
doubly so today during the fight
against the Influenza. Prepare your
self and help the community in
which you live.
TAKE TRUTONA BEFORE YOU
TAKE COLD.

DOCTOR GIVES
ALL TO SAVING
OF HUMANITY
Is To Continue Good Work By
UuquaIifiedly Indors-
ing TrutOna

Indianapolis, Ind, March Sc
There is one more familiar with
medicines and therefore more capa-
BILE of judging of the merits Of
preparation than the doctor. That
is why the following statement made
a few days ago by DR.. A j. Melon
aid, a we'll known and highly re-
spected physician here, should prove
of interest to hundreds of people
suffering from similar troubles. In
recommending Trutona DR.. McDol-
aid not only backs his claim with 81
ty years of medical practice, but he
has also taken Trutona and knows
from experience just what it will do.
II know Of no medicine that I
could recommend to aged, weakened
run down men and women that
would equal Trutona," is the tribute
the doctor pays the Perfect Tonic.
"Trutona came to my attention at
time when I was nervous and
generally broken in health. Over
work had caused a weakened and
feeble condition of my nerves. I
seemed to have given out entirely.
Why, could not raise my hand to
my head before I began the use of
Trutona.
1 have given this tonic a fair trial
and as result my strength has re-
turned and my nerves are as steady
as ever. l have no interest in the
Trutona Medicine Company but I
have given all my life to the relief
of suffering humanity and I'm go
ing to continue that policy by hearth
ly endorsing and recommending this
wonderful tonic Trutona."
