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 can say I did not have to 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. PVT. CHARLEY WITTSTRUCK. 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.

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 j statement is easily proven by the j facti that tnis celebrated medicine is ; i now having the greatest sale of any rystem tonic in the history of medi Y-' H (-.crrrJlncsstfldfesLCtfiSi I : neither Op!an.Morphiiicn i - 1 - th 'Your Plans: I t II platt.

Actual experience has shown that the best way to keep from taking In fluenza i3 to keep the system in good shape as It is a well known fact that the po'wers of resistance of the human system can be so perfected that it can throw ofT almost any in fection, not even excepting Spanish 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 ease germs. In conection with the Tanlac treatment, be sure tf keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets. Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by F. G.
