THE PEOPI.E, BARNWELL,
AFRAID SHE
COULD NOT LIVE
Operation Advised, But Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Made It Unnecessary
Glasgow, Kentucky.— “I waa rtm-
down, nervous, with no appetite. My
side had given me
trouble for five or
six years. At times
it was all I could do
to live, and the doc
tor said I couldn’t
live but a short time
longer without an
operation. That was
two years ago. My
sister-in-law recom
mended Lydia* E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound. She
had never used it herself, out she said
one of her neighbors suffered just like
I did, and it cured her. After I had
taken four bottles the pain left my side.
I had a fine appetite to eat anything
that was put before me, and I began to
do all my work and my.washing, some
thing 1 hadn’t done for years. 1 am a
dressmaker, and this last fall 1 began
suffering with my side again, so I began
taking the Vegetable Compound again.
1 am on my fourth bottle, which makes
eight in all I have taken. I feel so much
better when I take it and everybody
tells me I look better. My appetite
improves and 1 feel stronger in every
way. 1 am a very nervous woman and
it seems to help my nerves SO much.

VETERANS' FRIEND
o
Veterans of the World war who have
suffered as a result of having been
gassed, blinded, crippled or afflicted
with tuberculosis or other ills while
in the service have a staunch'friend in
Dr. Denis S. uVonnor of Waterbtiry,
Conn. In recognition of his splendid
work in their behalf Doctor oVohnor
has just been appointed vice chairman
of the American Legion rehabilitation
committee in the Second district, in
eluding the states of New York, Con
necticut and New jersey.
Needs of these disabled men have
been a constant care of Doctor O'Con
nor. His first active work in their
behalf was as a member of the relief
and service committee of Corporal
Coyle post of Waterbury. In that ca
pacity in* got an insight at first hand
into what lie believed to be gross in
justices in tlie treatment of the men
by the United States veterans’ bu
reau.
4 He had spent much time and effort
in fighting through claims which had
been, rejected, as he thought, unjustly,
by the veterans' bureau. In 1 D-.'t he
was elected service officer of ids post.
His efficient and self-sacrificing work
in that position led to ids recent ap
pointment.

YOUTHFUL LEGION
MAN IS HONORED
Oklahoma’s youngest Legionnaire is
going to West point. Not content
with claiming the honor of being the
state’s most youthful Legion member,
Frank Hoseh of Cushing, Okla., just
turned twenty-one, will, soon enter the
United States Military academy at
West Point to become a future
“Looey” or maybe a general with
“bookoo" stars.
At fourteen, when boys are general
ly wont lo moon over puppy love
notes from little girls in (link dresses.
Hosrh enlisted in the United States
navy to tight .the Huns. Throughout
tiie war he served, as a loyal “gob,"
but with tiie signing of the armistice
the young belligerent sought a more
I exciting field than the prosaic mari
time duties on hoard a cruiser in
| times of peace. Immediately after
j receiving his discharge he signed up
for service with the army in Siberia*
With the return of the American
troops from Siberia, and with n< more
wiirs on.the horizon, the two-time vet
eran journeyed to Cushing there to
begin the hardest, fight of his career
—the fight to get an education and
support himself at the same time.
He was handicapped by the years
lie had losi in serving ids country, but
lie had gained much in perseverance
and the power to concentrate on an
objectiv*; until it was reached. It
mattered not whether that objective
entailed going to school through the
day -and studying and working far info
Spartanburg ('hanging prison celli

en for the reformation of prisoners
held In Spartanburg county jail.
Under the auspices of Miss Beatrice
Arnold, state educational worker, in
charge of organizing laVby schools in
this county, the first school ever at
tempted at the county jail, and the first
ever attempted at any county jail in
this state, so far as know n, was estab
lished with a total enrollment of 37
pupils.
Miss Gladys Wham of Abbeville has
been placed in charge of the new un
dertaking and will devote six hours
cuich day toward Learning the’' prison
ers. Uelfs are used for classrooms.
The schools will continue for a period
of three weeks and possibly longer.
Fifteen of the pupils can not read
or write. Twenty have never been
past, the fifth grade in school and most
of the’se stopped before they completed
the third grade. One finished the
eighth grade and one the tenth The
course for beginning includes writing,
reading, spelling and simple arithme

cation.

“A* fe\y years ago Mrs. M. E. Her
man, 111 o I Etchings St.. San Antonio,
Texas, “returned to the stat**s from
Monterey, Mexico,” she says, “in such
a low state of health that she had to
be carried to ber home,on a stretcher."
As time went on and she* still lin
gered in the throes of "Nerve exhaus
tion, stomach disorders and bodily
weakness," site determined, "on the
advice of her druggist,” to try Tanlac,
which she declares “brought back my
-health and strength -after I had almost
despaired of ever getting well.”
The results of Tanlac in the case of
Mrs. Herman, while indeed uvniark-
ahle. arc* by no means unusual for
Tanlac, as many hundreds of people
everywhere have testified to having
taken the famous medicine with no
less wonderful results.
"I returned from Mexico," said Mrs*
Herman, "so thin and weak that 1
feared my life was going to be cut
short. I could neither eat or sleep In
a natural %ay and It seemed, at times,
that heart palpitation and nerve eX»

"The makers of Tanlac will always
have my heartfelt thanks, for It Is to
Tanlac that I attribute my recovery
and present good health. Tanlac Is
like a blessing from heaven to me,
that Is the way I think about It."

Legionnaire Finds Home
for Post in Iowa Town
—Auw'-ricuti—Leg ion noire B H. Stud
ley of Cumberland, Iowa,, plus an idea,
plus the initiative to carry that idea
into effect is tiie combination respon
sible for the stability and rapid
growth of tiie Cumberland post of
the Legion. Legionnaire Studley who,
when not engaged in doing most of
the town’s banking, is busy looking
about for some way to improve the
local American Legion post, observed
the difficulty of holding a post to
gether without clubrooms. He looked
about the town and found a basement
that was large and had tin* potential- alleged to have been charging fees

to have been residents of the state
for at 1 least a year before permission
is granted them to peddle thplr wares.
.County Clerk Blair, who advocated
the ruling, stated: “There are Legion
members and ex-service men enough
who are entitled to anything in the
way of permits to conduct business,
WltliouT wasting time with fakers who
are endeavoring to capitalize on sym
pathy for the former soldiers. Ex-
service men have been victimized on
all sides through the false representa
tion, of cheats who never were in the
war arid have no other concern than
to make money at the veterans' ex

The final report of Carter Taylor,

The report of A C Clarkson of Co

his audit of the records of the relief
office, showed that h'a.46 2:!. exclusive

these awards were made from a fund
of $64,899 38 donated by over 6,000
South Carolinians,-and of $14,369.85
apportioned out of the national treas

In his letter of transmissal to Gov- 1
ernor McLeod, who had tin* audit made
as a requirement of the Red ‘Cross in
all disaster work Mr. Clarkson said
that “as usual, 1 the Red Cross has
conducted this work in a mosf^busl

for each disbursement. They have also
acknowledged by formal receipt all
