INSURANCE FOR OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS The present pension system has l?een very much improved upon by act of tin? late Congress in which insurance for soldier and sailors is made to take the place of the cumbersome and unsatisfactory system. ! In a recent issue of the Outlook | there is an imaginary converseii in between Uncle Sam ami a soldier that ' makes the matter plain. The soldier asks, "How am I pling to live?" Uncle Sam replies, "1 pay you $33.00 a month with hoard ami clothes." Soldier, "Hut how about my wife and three children," Uncle Sam, "(Jive me out of y< u> pay $1(5.30 each month and I will add to it enough to make it $32.00 and this mount will he sent every month to your family." Soldier, "Hut suppose 1 am killed or disabled?" Unole Sam. "The widow and child ren will jret $~?fi.OO per month until, by death, remarriage or reaching self-support they cease to be depen-' dent. The soldier protests that they cannot live on that if he is killed. Uncle Sam replies that ho will ?;o still further; that if the so' lier will pay of his $.'53 Wildes an audit n nal $7 a rnon'h, or $.so a year, h will insure him for $10,01)0, payable to his dependent hcneb? i vL?s in annual installments of $bet? for tee.ily yoa.s.

SUNDAY TALKS TO THE NEGROES The Rreat Billy Sunday tabernacle in Atlanta was recently Riven ov er for one night to the negroes. Referring t the improved conditions of the colored people brought about by prohibition in Georgia, Mr. Sunday said : "In some counties they are already advertising the jails for rent, and are using some of them to store cotton instead of negroes. The county authorities can't find enough convicts to work the roads. The man who formerly did the work with ball and chain in a striped suit, is now working as a free sober man, and is being paid by the day, and there are no bar-rooms, in which to squander the money on pay day. If any negro or white man wants to leave Georgia because he cannot get booze here and get drunk, the sober and respectable people of Atlanta will escort him to the depot and sing 'Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow* as the train takes him away." Comparing the treatment of the neirrocs by Northern and Southern people, Mr. Sunday made this very plain and positive endorsement of the treatment of the negro hy the North from whence he came to the South where he has an opportunity of secng for himself the Southern side of race conditions: "You are here amonir the ho?u friends you have in the world?the white people of the south. They know you, and you know them. '1 hey understand you better that you are understood anywhere else on earth. There is not one here, hut if you got, into trouble would send for a while , man to help you out. No wonder j that thousands of negroes who have I none north are coming back to their southern homes. This is the place! for them, just as Alaska is the place for the Kskimo. This is as naturally your, home as it is the home of cotton. The South can not net along j without the negro, and the negro' ?an't get along anywhere in the world :s well as he e \n. ni the south." Mark Twain had a protege vh > : vrote him one day that she was not feeling well; so he wrote her back, j ulvising her to buy a certain magne- j tic health belt. After she had worn j he h'dt for a few days the girl wrote j he humorist: "i bought one of those belts, hut , t <1 id not help me a bit." By wire back came the answer: "It helped me. 1 own stock in the ; ompany. "SAMUKL L. CLKMKNS." i ? Ladies Home Journal.

TELLS FRIENDS OF AID SHE RECEIVED SAYS TANLAC PROVED A FINE STOMACH REMEDY FOR HER PRAISES IT TO OTHERS Mrs. Duchworth Glad to Recommend Tanlac For Troubles Like Hers "Tanlac proved a fine stomach medicine for me, and I have told quite a few people who complained of stomach trouble to take it," said Mrs. N. I). Duckworth, of Pelzcr, S, C., in a statement endorsing Tanlac. "I suffered from indigestion foi many years?really ever since I way a child?and I could not eat a general diet, but I had to be very careful of what I did cat. I really never did get hungry either. "The Tanlac certainly did help my indigestion and soon had gotten my stomach in a great deal better condition, so that I ate more and soon I was getting hungry. It made a quick improvement in my condition, too. 1 am glad to recommend Tanlac for troubles like those I took Tanlac for."

BRETHITT MADE GOOD From the Chicago Tribune: Brethitt County, Kentucky?the "bloody Brethitt" of mountain feud fame?has no use for the draft. Litterally none. More than Brethitt's quota had volunteered, and no one eligible remained to be drafted. History repeats itself in the Southern AllimlneHians. Munnlninnnru trumped from West Virginia to Massachusetts in twenty-one days to join Washington. Mountaineers poured into New Orleans just before the last battle of the War of 1812. They were without arms. "We'll fuller them Tennesseeans," they said to Jackson, "an' every time one falls we'll inherit his gun." During the civil war mountaineers fought valiantly for the Onion. In the Spanish v. at the tallest, heaviest recruits were mountain men. Great fellows, those "contemporary ancestors" of ours? a national asset! 'i he mountaineers come of good stock. Side-tracked, neglected, and here and there pretty barbarous, they have immense hardihood, many superb traits of character and, despite a distressing lack of education, a remarkable intelligence. Degenerate? Imagine degenerates making their own violins, their own rifles! Imagine degenerates making their own furniture without nails or glue! Imagine degenerates with a military record second to none! OUR TROOPSHIPS AND THE U-DOATS A submarine attr.c'.i upon American transports hound for Europe with troops is recorded in the despatches. The torpedo was seen, according to a dispatch from a French port, hut the transports raced ahead and escaped the danger. These are the iir.-.t reports of this sort that have been published in some time. Two homeward hound transports have recently been attached and one of them was sunk but no news has been given ont of late regarding attacks on outward hound troopships and presumably no such attacks had occurred in jomc weeks until the one just recorded. To stop the transfer <?f American troops to Europe may presently become, if it has not already become, one of the major objects of the (Jertnan submarine navy. Thg British premier has made open announcement of how important it is that as many American troops as possible be sent over as early as possible. Many have already gone over and it is no see ret that others are constantly going. In proportion is the American overseas movement grows in magnitude the importance of ehecking that movement must loom larger and larger in the eyes of the (Jermans. As yet the enemy has employed no effectual means for interfering with the transfer of American troops to Europe. It has now become of great importance to him that he <h> this ii he possibly can. It would not be a surprising thinj; if for a time the efforts of the whole U-boat flotilla were devoted mainly to this tank Faith that they will be foiled resti upon the the splendid- efficiency . howr.
