Letter from Germany
Stratslusch, Ger-, 8-25, '19.
Mesdames Kerrigan and Moore,
Dear Mother and Sister—Will
write a few lines to try and ex-
plain myself for not writing soon-
er without lieing a little. You
see when 1 was on the front,
which was about ninety days,
there wasn't much time for writ-
ing, and if one started to write
fifty unusually interrupted the
writer, and I knew that if any-
thing happened the government
would notify youf so 1 let it go
at that, and aince the armistice
was signed have expected to leave
for the states any time until to-
day we got an order that this
division, the 90th, would sail in
June. Guess you have an idea
how I feel, as bad as I want to
come home.
Well, there is no use to try and
write you all of my experience
on the front, but was on the St.
Mibeil, Muese and Argonne sec
tors in both of the big American
offenses; was under shell fire for
aeventy-three days and never got
a scratch, but almost lost my
voice entirely for about three
weeks from gas. Think Nov. 1st
about tho worst day I ever lived
through. Rolled my pack that
morning by the light from ou r
own guns firing. You can imag-
ine the noise 8500 big guns will
make firing as rapidly as they
can be fired, and forty wasn't
lying idle either; worked all day
in a barrage with the shells fall-
ing as thick as hall, seemed like.
You would be surprised to see
men go through with suchas tlia
was without much signs of worry
and uneasiness. They were usu-
ally joking one another for duck-
ing a shell. Have seen quite n
few give all they had with a smile
on their face.
Well, that is all over and we are
proud of it, but there is much
consolation in peace, with the
homesickness and blues. As it
Is time to go to bed will close,
and will write again soon. With
love and best wishes to all
Cpl. D. I. Chance, Co. B,

Buck St., Caldwell, says: "Some
time ago while lifting a heavy
piece of machinery, I strained
my back and the trouble settled
on my kidneys. 1 was so lame J
couldn't bend, or lift the least
weight. When 1 moved quickly,
sharp catches iooi< me. The
kidney secretions also passed ir-
regularly. I tried liniments and
plasters with no benefit and fi-
nally I read of Doan's Kidney
Pills and got some at Stone &

came strong and well."

'Twu • Lsckr Day
Says Mrs. O'Connor
Her Improvements After Tsking
Tanlsc, Was Simply
Wonderful
"It was certainly a lucky day
for me when 1 got my first, bot
t'o of Tanlac," said Mrs. John
O'Connor, of ílllH East Oldhmn
St., Knoxville, Tenn.
"For five or six years.'' she
continued, "1 had been in a dread-
fully rundown and nervous con-
dition, was awfully weak and
suffered with spells of dizziness.
I had terrible nervous headaches
and my stomach was so weak 1
couldn't digest even the lightest
kind of food. 1 could sleep very
little and became so despondent
that 1 was afraid nothing could
help me regain my health.
"I wouldn 't have believed it if
anybody had told me any medi-
cine would cause me to gain eight
pounds in ten days, but that is
exactly what Tanlac has done for
me. Soon after 1 started taking
it I began to eat better, sleep
like a baby und feel just fine and
ray steudy improvement has sim-
ply been wonderful. I have
thrown away all my other medi-
cines and will stick to Tanlac,
for 1 think it is the linest medi-
cine on earth."
Tanlac is sold by leading drug-
gists everywhere.—Adv.

CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you tick and can not
■slivato.
Every drurairt In town—your drug-
gist end everybody's druggist ha* noticed
a great falling off in Che sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results, said a
Eromlnent local druggist. Dodson's
iver Tone is personal guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs but a few cents, and if It
falls to give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to aak for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm*
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine) no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels, It
doesn't gripe or cause inoonvenienon all
the next day like violent calomel, 'lake
• dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick und naimeuted.
Don't lose a day's work! Take Dod-
son's Liver Tone insteiid and fuel fise,
fall of vigor and aiabitiuu.
The Callare Club
4 The Culture Club met Thurs-
day, Mar. 27, in the home of Mrs.
W. M. Stone to conclude the pro-
gram post|>oned from tho meet-
ing of the previous week. The
president, Mrs. A. 8 White hurst
was in the chair.
The library comlnittee wishos
the public Co know that a number
of the now publications have been
added to the shelves of the 11
brary.
•'Lest we forget," the move-
ment to make Woodrow l'ark u
memorial to the boys of Burleson
county, whose lives were sacri-
ficed in their country's service is
being pushed. There is no place
in Caldwell where the children
can iro for recreation. Do yoj
picture the difference of sur-
roundings in a clean, nice park
with trees and flowers and inno-
cent games to that of our streets
where the children throng after
shool hours?
Ex-Gov. Hogg, just before he
died, made this request, "1 want
no monument of stone, but let
my children plant at the head of
my grave a pecan treqand at the
foot a walnut." If this great
statesman of Texas preferred
trees, then a park with trees
and flowers is an appropriate
monument for our dead soldiers.
We want to beautify the park
with lights and an orch at each
entrance appropriately inscribed.
There is an evergreen tree ded-
icated to each soldier and flowers
are being planted around each
one.
The tennis courts, swings and
seats will soou be placed in the
park.
The following ladies haw vol-
unteered to plant and nurture
the flowers around the memorial
trees:
Mesdames Henslee,Hartgraves

dings, Fowlkes, E. G Jenkins,

ett, Joe Scott. Cobb, H. L. Broad-
dus; Misses Ray James and Vi-
ola Houston and "¿he Firemen.
The subject of the afternoon
lesson was Reconstruction, which
concluded the study of the war
Roll call was responded to with,
"lessons from the War," and
same very interesting and profit-
able thoughts were brought out
hi them.
Mrs. Windel's subject dealt
with the probable relation of the
United States with other coun-
tries,and her paper showed study
and thought in tiie preparation
Mrs. Whitehurst in a clear
and concise way gave tl.e causes
why the Hague conference wus
unable to establish pence.
The subject assigned Mrs
Hartgraves was, "What Kind of
an International Government
Must be Evolved Before World
Federation Becomes an Estab-
lished Fact?" Truly a broad
subject, but she had given it close
study and her paper was of much
interest to the club.
Mrs. Brooks defined National-
ism and Internationalism in a
short but enthusiastic discus-
sion.
The club adjourned to meet
April 4 with Mrs. .1 W. Woods
Club Reporter.
