THE SERVICE MANS DEPART
MENT AND THE MAN WHO
IS TO RUN 1T.

The day of dual responsibility, OF
divided authority in the Governments
dealings with former service men IS
over.
All governmental agencies engaged
in administering soldier legislation
as provided to benefit veterans of
the World War are at last consoli-
dated into one organization, under
one head, and with one object, to de-
monstrate that the United States can
make of its dealings with eX-servlce
men a co-ordinated and an efficient
business, conducted as great going
concerns are run anywhere else IN
the land
This new organization is known as
the Veterans Bureau; the Director
on whose shoulders the entire admin
istration programme for soldier well
fare now rests, is Colonel Charles r.
Forbes. a business man from the
West whom President Harding pur-
suant of his practical judgment that
a Government Office requires the same
sort of ability that is demanded by
large business elsewhere, drew on to

Health.
Huntington Woman Helpless for Six
Months Restored To Health By
Tanlac.

my wife didn't weigh but eighty
eight pounds, had been practically
helpless for six months and We did
rot think she could live, but Tanlac
has restored her to perfect health and
she now weighs as much as she ever
did in her life" said J. L. Roberts,
1868 Ninth avenue, Huntington, W..
Va, speciality salesman fro the
Singer Sewing Machine Company.
my wife was just about as bad off
as anybody ever gets to be" he con-
tinued." She had been down in bed
for six months and we had to wait
on her all the time. She had stomach
trouble in its worst form and had lost
weight until she was almost a living
skeleton. Her liver was torpid, and
she suffered awfully from constipa-
ton, headaches and dizzy spells and
didn't have any color in her face. She
was under treatment seven different
times and we spent, over three thous-
and dollars on her but nothing SEEM
ed to reach her case.
Finally l went to several of the
neople who had made statements IN
the papers about Tanlac. They con-
WINGED me. so l started my wife on
Tanlac and it wasn't long before she
asked for something to eat, and IN
few days she was up and around the
house. She has now taken five bot
ties and it hardly seems possible that
she could be in such fine health as
she is. She is as strong and well as
ever, doing all the housework herself
and is the happiest woman in the
state"
Tanlac is sold in Alexandria by
Edgar Warfield, Jr, and all leading
druggists.

Benjamin Harrison was the only
president of the United States born
in August.
In the Roman year the sixth month
was known as Sixtilis, which was
changed to August by the emperor,
Augustus, because several fortunate
events in his life occurred in that
month. In the Encouragement of the

In order to give the new month of
August number of days equal to
July, which had been so named by
julius Caesar, one day was taken
from February and added to August.
Missouri, on the 10th, 1921, and Col
orado, on the 1st, 1875, were admit
ted to the Union in August.
Aug. &c, 1920, is memorable date
in the history of equal suffrage for
women. The nineteenth amendment to
the constitution, which gave the bal
lot to women in the United States,
was proclaimed in effect on thsi date.
The Panama Canal was opened for
traffic, connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific Ocean lanes, on Aug. 10,

VIRGINIA ANTHOLOGY

Virginia is rich in the lit
erary fame of her sons and
daughters. She can lay claim
to one of the worlds great
ge1liuses, at least, Edgar Al
Ian Poe, as her very own.
And while among those who
are firmly fixed in their
places in the Parnassian
temple are many of lesser
note, still they are OF
purest ray serene. When
the anthology of Viz
ginia shall some day be
garnered into a single vol
ume, we have no doubt that
the verse of Henry Mazyck
CIarkson will be included.
The volume which lies be-
fore us, of this poets writ
ings, contains many gems OF
the finest water. Leading the
life of a country physician
of the olden time, his daily
trips through the rural dis
tricts were doubtless indu-
Give to the kindly muse, and
many of the verses were
conceived on those errands
Of mercy and duty. The vol
unle is entitled Songs Of
Love and War" Those touch
ing on the gentler passion
are filled with exquisite i'm
agery, chaste sentiment, and
tenderest feeling. Dr.. Clark
son was a master of the
technique Of poetry. His
metre IS correct, his rhyme
according to rule and his
figures apt and beautiful.
In many Of the verses a deep
religious sentiment is dis
played, and the reverent
handling Of the devotional
subjects discIoses the beau
tiful inner nature of the
man.
The second portion of the
volume IS dedicated to what
is termed political subjects.
These are peculiarly South
ern and essentially Virgin
ian in topic and treatment.
They will find sympathetic
response in the hearts of the
older generation who still
remember the dark days Of
reconstruction in the Old
Dominion. The third divi-
sion of the book treats Of
war, and here the poet gives
full rein to his fancy, and
Pegasus scars aloft into the
e1lpyrean. His verses ON
Lees Welcome read be-
fore the Manassas Chapter,
U. D. c., June 8, 1906; those
on the Southern Flags" be-
fore the Manassas Memorial
Association, in 1898; the
poems on the Tee Statue
Unveiled" tie Davis Sta
tue; the Ballad of Fair
fax ''She Weeps for Her
Dead" 'The Battle of Ma
1lassas;;" and others, should
render the volume precious
to every son and daughter Of
the Confederacy.
All in all, the verses Of
Henry Mazyck Clsrkson are
worthy of high and honored
place in the sometime anthO-
logy of Virginia when il
shall receive due coloca-
lion.
