months the government has
recommended that weekly pa-

the 15th of this month We
complied with that request
this week by taking from our

“You must know I believe
in Tanlac when I have bought
fifteen bottles But the few
dollars it cost me amounts to
only a trifle as compared to
what I have received in re
turn for I wouldn’t take hun-
dreds of dollars for the good
the medicine has done me”
said J D English an employe
of the City of El Paso Texas
residing at 910 East Fourth
street -
‘‘Up to three years ago”
continued Mr English ‘‘I was
just about as strong and heal-
thy as most any man you’ll
find Then I lost my appetite
and began to fall off in weight
and go down hill My old time
energy and vitality left me I
suffered often with nervous-
ness and headache and kept
getting worse until I could
hardly get out of bed in the
mornings My wife would al-
most have to yank me out of
bed and to tell you the truth
my condition was getting crit-
ical ‘‘I finally decided to see
what Tanlac would do for me
and I began to improve right
away until now I have gained
more than twenty pounds and
am feeling a hundred per cent
fine when it comes to health
strength and energy' I actual-
ly feel as good as I did when
I was a boy I’m the first one
up in the mornings and I can
do as much work in a clay as
anyone and not feel the least
bit tired I am now telling
my friends who I know to be
in a rundown condition like I
was if they take Tanlac and
it don’t help them I’ll pay the
bill and I mean it I certain-
ly do believe in Tanlac I
consider it the finest medicine
ever sold in a drug store and
guess I ought to know”

LUMBER LIME CEMENT BRICK AND ANYTHING IN
THE BUILDING LINE
If you are going to build it will pay you to see us before
you buy your bill
There are few people at
home who are doing their ut-
most toward winning the war
Many are making great sacri-
fices but there is always some-
thing more we can do — just a
little bit more Many have
not bought War Savings
Stamps others are not prac-
ticing economy while hun
dreds so far have been content
to let others assume the bur
dens
The Oklahoma War Sav-
ings Committee is anxious to
enlist the aid of every person
in the War Savigns campaign
There are many ways in which
you can help War Savings
Societies are being organized
and you can in addition spread
the gospel of thrift Ask your
neighbors to join the -movement
Every little sendee
counts
Oklahoma must sell forty-
seven million dollars In War
Savings Stamps by December
31 Let us all get into the
band wagon and put Oklaho-
ma “Over the top”
W S S NURSERY RHYME
Sing a Bong of Savings Stamps
The cost of living's high
But have you counted all the things
These Savings Stamps will buy?
Outfits for our boys in France
Ammunition for their guns
Self-respect for stay-at-homes
And knock-outs for the Huns

Rev G W Whitfield and
Jim Fleming of Marsden were
business visitors here Monday
' August 23rd 1918
Dearest Mother Father and
all:—
Today I received the first
letter direct from the State!
dated July 23rd exactly one
month today
It seenis very strange to me
that you did not receive the
cablegrams I sent you one
when I arrived here another
on Aug 14 ’18 Be sure and
see about the package you
sent me as it should be for-
warded from Camp ' Niagar
Am sure that you are receiv-
ing mail from me often as I
am writing you nearly every
day Today is Saturday and
we don’t have to drill in the
afternoon or Sunday We can
not go out of camp When we
get to our other camp we will
je off every Wednesday even-
ing Saturday evening and
Sunday then we can go to
town nearby
You can send me anything
you think I need a few pair
of wool sox and a ' couple of
pair of large Turkish towels
and some Khaki handkerch-
iefs Talk about high prices
here everything is cheap in
the States to what it is here
so tell the people not to
grumble over such a little
thing as prices for food there
Have not seen a drop of sugar
in two months tobacco is high
candy cakes and everything
is so high that it keeps a good
soldier broke all the time You
can send me a couple of car-
toons of Campbell cigaretts
as they cost about 35c a pack-
age here you can buy for
$180 cartoon in the States
When you send me a package
be sure and insure it send it
special delivery might get it
then I might not so don’t
send too much at one time
Yes a piece of Mrs Strauss’
cake would taste good to me
now but there is very little
chance of getting cakei like
that here Eggs are 4 D each
or 8 cents and then they are
hard to get
Yesterday (Friday) we
went on our first route march
about six miles around the
country This is a beautiful
country believe me built well
and good roads nearly all
houses are built of brick
You can see young girls in
Khaki overalls working in fac-
tories conductress on cars
busses etc Lots of children
here mostly children of wid-
ows who have to labor for a
living
The Germans have 'done a
great deal of damage to En-
gland and France but wait
until we get through with the
Kaiser and his bunch it will
be some h — for him and his
soldiers
The Germans are glad to be
captured by the French Brit-
ish and Americans but the ok
saying here is “A good Hun
::s a dead one” so don’t worry
about me as there are many
and many of the boys are here
back from the trenches saying
that it is not so bad as every
one thinks The Germans are
osing men every day and the
British or R A F (Royal Air
i’orces) are making some
wonderful air raids over Ger-
many The airplanes will
ikely end this war and it soon
All blinds and lights are out
in London at 9 o’clock tonight
they never burn lights here af-
ter 9:30 on account of hostile
air raids They don’t fear
them much now as London is
well guarded and Germany
can hardly protect her own
towns from being raided
Will write more sometime
soon
