"By the help of Tanlac have over.
come a case of nervous indigestion T
had suffered from for ten or twelve
years." is the emphatic statement Of
Norman w. Brown, well-known wall
paper and paint dealer, of 213 N.
Cedar St., Charlotte, N. G.
My stomach was always out of fix
and everything disagreed with me. I
was troubled with heartburn and dizzi-
ness, and at times there was a pres
sure of gas around my heart that al.
most cut off my breath.
"Since taking Tanlac my digestion
Is fine. My appetite is wonder and
eat just anything l want. In fact,
my stomach acts and feels just like
new one and my nerves are as steady
as die. To put it all in few words.
[ am just the same as a new man.
It's a pleasure for me to tell my
friends about Tanlac"

any outside obligation forcing the Le-
gion to lose bit of it's independence
and freedom of action.
General Tyndalps message to Le-
gionnaires this year is reiteration OF
his advocacy of financial independence
with a request that Legion members
pay their dues early in order that the
posts may find themselves free to
carry out the program of relief for
disabled, Americanism and other i'm
portant measures. General Tyndall
believes that too much energy is e1-
pended in thelcollection of dues which
should be paid to the post finance
officer upon notification of the men,
Der.
The military career of General Tyn-
dali dates back to 1897, when he en-
listed as a private. He served in
Porto Rico during the Spanish-Amer-

commanding officer of the One Hun
dred and Fiftieth artillery of the
Forty-second (RainboW) division in

Wings of Birds and Fishes

By studying the wing structure OF
aying fish, an authority on the flight
Of birds has found that their wings
are some four or FIVE times as efficient
for soaring flight as the wings of
birds. He attributes this to the fact
that the fin rays formed projected
ridges on the under surface OF the
wings. BY experimenting with models
fashioned on similar lines, he found

And It's just about the same with
New Years Day. About al, that's
left us is to listen to the whistles blow
ing at midnight and to make good res
olutions. And what changes the day
has seen since first Americans began
its celebration
Americas celebration Of New Years
Day owes nothing to Puritan New
england. In the North New York, be-
Ing Dutch, was the center Of New
Years gayety. The South, being Eng
lish, but not Puritan, also celebrated
enthusiastically. The custom of max
Eng calls probably is as old as civilized
man; it is likely that it originated
independently in almost every cline.
Old-time European chieftainS used to
set New Years. apart as day on
which they would condescend to re-
ceive substantial tributes from their
underlings. Queen Elizabeth re-
ceived New Years calls every year,
and there was always much rivalry be-
tween her ambitious courtiers as TO
the quantity and value Of the gifts
they should DeStoW upon Ihe virgin
sovereign. 1t was on a New Years Day
that Sir Walter Raleigh gladdened the
queens heart with a memorable pair
OF silk stockings-the first ever made
and worn in England.
In Holland the custom of making
New Years calls had been general
long before the settlement of New
Amsterdam, and the natives of the
Netherlands who came TO live in the
New World brought the practice with
them. And, OF course, they had
plenty to eat and drink-for who ever
heard of Dutcnmen who did not take
good care of their stomachs?
Up to the beginning of the Nine
teenth century the typical New Years
observance was neighborly custom.
Then it became an observance decreed
by fashion and was observed in every
city of any size in the country.
The younger women of such house
holds as had daughters were the host
esses, and great was their rivalry, one
with another, in respect of richly load

It was comparatively quiet indoors,

Mantle bombs was in active use.

wagons were halted at the curb, load

bunch of hackle-feathers at the tip.

A universal custom of New Years
| of those days was the carriers New
Years address. This was often in
rhyme if the carrier or any of his
friends could string t he jingling
lines together or find an old carriers
address TO copy. Such verses as these
were popular:
This day devoted now to mirth,
| To open house and social hearth,
! New friendship mounts on airy wings
And gives her tuneful harp new strings.
| While plenty spreads festive board,
! OF wine aid food and ample hoard.
| In idleneSS and laughter gay,
To spend the hours this happy day,
| All save the carrier, whose snowy feet
| Still must pace up the snowy street.
! SO give to him moments heed,
| Since he alone this comfort needs,
| And to your ample, jovial store
| Let him not find closed door, etc., etc.
| BY 1914 there were strong indica-
tons of a saner celebration of New
Years. The feasting in restaurants
New Years Eve was still in full blast,
with singing and dancing added. But
most Of the large cities had ordered
the police to enforce sane celebra-
ton on the streets. In consequence
| there was less noise and rowdyism out
of doors. Chicago, for instance, for
babe horns, confetti and ticklers.
Cleveland probably had the "sanest"
New Years Eve in 1914. That city
gave the New Year a community
greeting" in keeping with the spirit
of community Christmas celebrated a
week before. Twelve bands, with $50
musicians, were massed in the public
| square. To an audience of thousands
they played hymns and patriotic airs.
Announcement by the police that the
midnight closing law would be en-.
forced rigidly cut hotel and restaurant
festivities down markedly. In Gin
cinnati the police had the promise of
every hotel, cafe and saloon keeper to
close promptly at midnight. Similar
conditions prevailed in Detroit and
indianapolis.
Then came the Great War. And
! then prohibition.
So at present the celebration of New
Years Eve and New Years Day is be-
twixt and between.

INTERESTING SUNDAY SCHOOL
MEETING AT CASSVILLE

At meeting held at Cassville, Feb
ruary 8, by unanimous vote it was
decided to accept the challenge as out
lined by Mr.. H. w. Becker, State
Adult Division Superintendent, st.
Louis.
The challenge is a contest known
as THE Four-Square Contest" which
was put on by Monett VS. Aurora and
Joplin VS. Springfield, last year. Good
results of the contest were reported.
This year Mr.. Becker has grouped
four counties of about equal standing
and Barry County is one of the four.
The other three are: Dade, Laclede
and Webster.
The Contest is called -Four
Square" because of the four outstand-
ing points which are: /, Enrolment;
2, Attendance; 3, Home Study and
Reading; 4, Church Attendance and
Affiliation. This balances the cam
paign so that there is not so much
danger of bad after-effectS.
Only adults may enter the contest.
Glasses composed of members 25
years of age or over are eligible.
Each teacher of an Adult Bible Glass
will be sent all necessary literature
for the Contest. This literature
should be carefully studied until the
entire campaign is thoroughly under
stood. Amy question about the con-
test should be sent to Mr.. E. N.
Meador, County Adult Division Super
Cassville. No matter how
the question may seem
do not hesitate to ask it. Each teach
er especially should become perfectly
familiar with the whole thing.
To get best results, the members of
each class should meet once week
and plan to get those who are not at
tending Sunday school into their class
or some other if not eligible to theirs.
An invitation from the right person
at the right time and in the right way
may mean the salvation of the whole
family. Many Sunday schools are
greatly Handicapped for the want of
adult teachers and officers who are
interested in the religious welfare of
the community Now is the time to
get few suggestions about increas-
III interest and attendance liz the
Sunday school.

ITALIAN MEDAL is
AWARDED HALTER
NeOshO War Hero HOnOred at Cere-
mOny at Joplin for Act of
Bravery.

Joplin, Feb. 16.-A large and inter
ested crowd braved yesterdays cold
and witnessed the presentation of the
Croix di Guerre, the Italian medal of
military valor, to NJ. Waldo Halter, of
Neosho, which took place in front of
the high school yesterday afternoon.
The medal was pinned on Halter by
Captain j. T. Menzie, commandant of
the r. o. T. c., and took its place
alongside of the congressional Medal
of Honor and Croix de Guerre, which
adorned Hatler's uniform.
The following citation, showing the
act which won the honor for Halter,
was read before the spectators by
William Withus, cadet adjutant: ITO
Sergeant NJ. Waldo Halter, Company
B, 356th Infantry: For conspicuous
gallantry and intrepidity above and
beyond the call of duty in action, with
the enemy, near Pouilly, France, Nov
ember s, 1918. When volunteers
We're called for to secure information
as to the enemy's position on the op-
posite bank of the Meuse river, Ser
geant Halter was the first to offer his
services for this dangerous mission.
Swimming -t.~.Dss the river, he sue
ceeded in reaching the German lines,
after another soldier, who had start
ed with him, had been seized with the
cramps and drowned in midstream.
Alone, he carefully and courageously
recOnnoitered the enemy positions,
which were held in force and again
successfully swan the river, bring
ing back information of great value.
Previous to the presentation, the
cadet corps passed IN review before
Sergeant Halter. Led by the band the
battalion passed the review
ing stand in close order.
Motion pictures of the entire cere-
mony were taken by the Pathe News,
and later close up of Sergeant Hat
Ter, showing his medals, was made.
