Dear Folks At Home:
I received your kind and ever
welcome letter yesterday and was
sure glad to hear from you and that
you were well. I am well now and
hope this letter reaches you the
same. I ana glad that Francis and
the baby are well and got to ccme
to see you. I wculd have liked to
have seen her and the baby awfully
well hut you know how it is. we can
not get a furlough over here to go
any place. Of course we get to go
to Manila as often as we want to
and our money lasts. I have nearly
all of my money invested in the
Fourth Liberty Loan. I took out
three fifty dollar ones and I have
my 510,000 insurance to pay on
every month. And then I only draw
$10.50 gold every month after ev
erything is taken out. I got the
Plattsmouth paper today and sure
thank Lilley and Heine for sending
it to me. I 6ure have been sick for
some time. I had the flu. I only
lost about 8 or 10 lbs. in about one
week but otherwise I am O. K. now.
I had a fever of 104 3-10 for three
or four days. They would cot give
mo anything to eat but coffee or
cocoa for five or six days. There
is lots of people down with it over
here. I don't know whether you
can have it twice or not. 1 see in
the Plattsmouth paper where it is
caused some times from kissing.
Lord I would never look any white
person in the face if 1 ever kissed
one of these natives, that is how
much I think of the Little Brown
Sisters. Ha. Ha.
I'll eend you ai clipping? I wrote
to Mr. C. E..Wescott the other day
and told him about what a good
time I had in Manila the 2Sth cf
October, that was my birthday. I
was 18 years old. ro 1 fur" did have
to celebrate. I sure had rome swell

register and then wait for Uncle
Sam to call for me. 1 knew he need
ed me. so I didn't wait for him to
ask. I "will soon be sworn in 11
months. You know I enlisted last
November 17th, but my papers got
mixed up and I wasn't sworn in till
Jan. 11, 1918. I like army life fine
and am trying to enjoy mj'self as
best I can. I guess I am a short
timer in there Philippine Islands as
the boys say. I had a quarrel with
a fellow the other day atout storying
cn my age when I got Irto the army
and I asked him if he had' register
ed ind he said. yes. Well I told
him I didn't have to register and
wit until I had to etalist or be
l-pfted end he sure did get hot. I
asked him how many Liberty Bonds
he had taken out and, he told me
to go to H . I told him I was
very near there, I was ia the Philip
pines and I had three Liberty
Bonds. He was going to slap my
face then and I told him that I
wouldn't if I was him. Say, Lilley
said Harrison's wife's brother was
in the Islands. Find rut where he,
is stationed and I will look him up.
His name is Leland O. Bennett. Find
cut and then rush that letter? There
is one place over here that there is
not enough of the well people to
bury the dead. They ciied from the
flu. We haven't lost any soldiers
jet. but there is not enough doc
tors to take care cf the soldiers and
natives too and they are so far away
from the hospitals, tbey can't get
the proper attention. Well I will
have to ring off for this time, so
good-bye. Answer soon.
Your loving son.

STARTING EVEN IN THE RACE.
from Friday' Di1y
On New Years, starting neck and
neck, a little boy who will make his
home with Otto Findar and wife and
who will take delight in calling Mr.
and Mrs. Finder father and mother
; in the j-ears to come, arrived at the
(aforementioned home to take up his
' residence. We hope and trust the
young man will be a great blessing to
his proud parents and that he will
live to become a man who will fight
for the principles of right and jus-,
tice. While the parents are proud
of the young man now, we would
that the day may come when they
may be doubly proud of their son,
i for having contributed to the wel
fare of the race.

in every service, but while it is so j
cold and dark and the roads are so '

and do our best for you if you will

cf the country to the other. Already
thert have b-?en over T.00,000 deaths
from the disease and one prominent
"i-alth ofieial predicts that there
r.ill possibly le 750,000 deaths in
his country next year from Influ
enza and the ailments which follow
it. The disease has been very baf
3ing to the medical profession and
health authorities frankly admit that
ordinary preventative measures such
as wearing of masks and closing pub
lic places seem of little avail.
Persons who are weak and run
down, and who have not the strength
to throw, off the Influenza germ, are
the earliest victims. Those -who
catch colds easily or who are suffer
ing frcm catarrhal troubles are also
e?.rly victims, as the inflamed mucus
membrane linings of the nose and
throat are au open door to the germs.
If you are suffering from any of
these symptoms, nothing will build
you up and fortify your system
against attack like Tanlac, which
contains the most powerful tonic
properties known to science. This

markable results during the present
epidemic and hundreds of thousands
who have used it are enjoying the
best of health. One prominent phy
sician in Texas frankly stated that
he hadfound Tanlac to be the finest
tonic to be had for building up his
patients who had had Influenza.
Actual experience has shown that

that the po'wers of resistance of the
human system can be so perfected
that it can throw ofT almost any in

Influenza, which is one of the most
contagious diseases known.
Tanlac increases your strength and
weight and creates a good, healthy
appetite for nourishing food. It keeps
you physically fit and makes you
strong, vigorous and well, and in this
way fortifies you against deadly dis

Tanlac treatment, be sure tf keep
