COL. DAN MORGAN
HEARD NTENTLY
Battalion Of Death
Commander Proves
Thrilling Orator

A fair sized and appreciative au-
dience listened to the address of Col.
Dan Morgan Smith at the First Bap-
fist church last night
Col. S.nit' was Introduced by Rev.
P. 7. Holloway, Of Arlington, who
was chaplain in France was badly
gassed. Numerous eX-service men,
some in uniform, were in the audi
ence and listened with rapt attention
to the veteran commander.
The subject of Col Smiths address
was "The World War and the Fields
of France" and he spoke under the
auspices of the Anti-Saloon League
of America and of Georgia.
The speech was one of great elo-
quence and the speaker himself is a
man of much personal magnetism.
The speech was interspersed with
graphic pictures of thewar, Col.
Smith having taken great part in
that struggle, being the man who led
his Battalion cf Death" over the top
in the st. Mihiel drive with 1920
men and coming out with a remnant
of 327.
Along with the pathos and horror
of these war pictures Col. Smith
managed to introduce much wit and
humor also.
I He paid high tribute to the Am
erican soldiers, especially the "Buck
private" whose bravery and daring

FARMERS START
DRIVE FOR AGENT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. "A let
ter has been sent out from the
headquarters of the Indiana Fedora
ton of Farmers Associations to the
various county associations urging
the members Of the organization to
write to their respective congressman
at Washington. calling attention to
the Importance of an Increase in ap-
preparation for the county agents and
home demonstration agents.
1t Is pointed out by officers Of the
federation that during the war con-
gress made an appropriation which
was used in furthering extension work,
a portion Of this fund being used in
Indiana in paying the salaries OF these
agents, amounting to $50 month.
The fund received from the govern
ment was used TO supplement the
funds appropriated by the state and
made 1t possible to give the agents a
fair salary, to employ stenographers
and meet other expenses. Last year,
however, congress reduced the ap'
preparation so that home demonstra-
ton agents were largely lost to this
state, only five being retained, and
the government allowance for county
agents was reduced to $40 month. A
majority Of the counties, especially
where the Indiana Federation OF
Farmers Associations are well or
ganized, are contributing at least In
part and in other ways meeting the
expenses Of the county agents office.

HAnntGN
Harriet, by all right of significance,
should belong to Ireland since 1t
means "home rule" But in reality, ii
has It's origin in old Morse mythology
where there was a porter of Valhall
called Heimdall, who watched the
further end of the rainbow bridge BIZ
frost to guard the Aesir from the
giants. His name is explained by
translating the helm" as home. II
Henry's and Harrys came to be.
The feminine OF the name was in
vented in the first century. 1t is
thought to have originated in France
since Henriet Stuart appears in the
House of Stuart d'Aubigne in 1888, and
there were number Of Henriettes to
watch the Henris of the court OF
Catherine de Medicis. England receiv
ed the name from the daughter Of
Henry w, Henriette Marie, whom the
prayerbook calls Queen Mary, though
given the French pronunciation
which is Hawyot, and that became {
separate proper name. Harriet is also
pronounced in that manner by those
who are excessively given to pro
priety.
In England Henrietta is as great {
favorite as Harriet. Another spelling
of the latter is Harriet. Hattie, Hetty
and Eta are diminutives. Henrietta
is purely French and Henrietta ant
Jette are Teutonic. Italy has an En-

Influenza continues to spread; and

1t has baffled the medical skill to

The germ has eluded psychologists,

The surest prevention is to build up

to get the system into the best phys

ton and below normal weight this
warning should be needed promptly.
If you are in this condition nothing on
earth will build you up and strength
en- you like Tanlac, which contains the
most powerful tonic properties known
to science. AS a reconstructive tonic
and system builder it is without an
equal and contains the very elements
needed by the system to give you
fighting strength to ward off disease
germs. This is a statement of fact
and is supported by the recognized
authorities and reference works in
Guiding the U. S. Dispensatory, the
Encyclopedia Britannica, and also by
standard text books used in the
schools of medicine. This statement
is further proven by the fact that mil
lions of persons who have actually
taken Tanlac have testified to it's ex-
traordinary merit as a medicine and
by the fact Tanlac is today having
the largest sale OF any tonic on the
American market.
Tanlac is also an ideal strengthen
ing tonic for persons who are suffering
from the after-effects of colds, in
fluenza, ordinary Grippe, and bron-
chial troubles. and hundreds of thou
sands are using it daily with most
gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanlac treat
ment it is very important to keep the
bowels open by taking Tanlac LaXa-
tive Tablets, samples of which are en-
closed with every bottle of Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Glenn
