HOW WAR IMPRESSES
SBUUH _SEA ISLANDER
SUVA, Fiji Islands, April 3. —How
the war impresses the South Sea Is
lander, the only native Fijian who
has actually been at the fighting front
is indicated in a letter received here
from Chief Sakuna, who was a student
at Oxford university when the war
broke out, and who enlisted in the
French Foreign Legion.
“Hundreds are here,” says he in his
letter from the front, “who cannot
shoot to hit a house, and they have
been years in the ranks as soldiers.
It’s a bad thing that some of you
young Fijians are not here. The cold
ness of the weather is nothing when
one is clothed.
“The pits which the shells have dug
all around the country look like Fijian
ovens. The fighting areas are like a
nlace that has been ravaged by a tre
mendous hurricane. Great trees ani
small scrub are all withered and fal
len in all directions and (broken by
the shells and the strength of the
fumes —that is the gas which they in
vented in Germany. Comparatively
speaking, it is sweet to read the ac
counts of the war, but the trial of it
here crushes the soul. The trail of a
hurricane there with you is merely a
storm. Here Degei (God) alone can
comprehend it.
“One thing I smiled at frequently
and felt great pity about. Some old
men and ‘grannies’ in the north when
some of their houses stood alone re
fused to leave them. They continued
to occupy their homes along with their
dogs, fowls, horses and cows. I ask
ed a couple why they had not fled, and
they answered they were too old and
death did not matter to them. In an
other case the owner remained in
his house while our trenches lay at
tbe back of his house and the ene
my’s trenches were only 80 yards dis
tant. Every morning he milked his
cows, while the projectiles never ceas
ed falling in his enclosure.
“One thing I abominated was, when
the shells were fired towards us, and
they came with a sound like crying, or
like whistling, and a devilish noise. We
did not feel comfortable under it, anc
when they burst it was like the air
giving us a kick in the side, and our
heads shook, and our stomachs seemed
on fire.”

ENGINEER GAINED
TWENTY-FUE LBS.
G G. GEIGER SAYS HIS WIFE SUF-
FERED WITH RHEUMATISM FOR
YEARS.
“Tanlac has not only relieved my
wife of a very severe attack of rheu
matism but she has actually gained
twenty-five (25) pounds since she be
gan taking the medicine,” said Mr. G.
G. Geiger, residing at 133 East Linden
street, Atlanta, Ga., for a number of
years employed as engineer by the
Georgia railroad.
"I don’t believe I ever saw anyone
suffer with rheumatism as much as she
did,” continued Mr. Geiger in his state
ment to the Tanlac representative.
“Sometimes her feet would swell so
she couldn't get her shoes on. The
pains in her arms were so great- at
times she would remark that they felt
like they were about to drop off. She
had severe headaches and was dizzy
and nervous all the time and unable
to sleep well at night. Her appetite
failed her and she lost a great deal in
v eight and strength. She sometimes
got so bad off she would have to go Io
bed and stay for weeks at a time. When
she wasn’t in bed she felt so tired and
played-out she was never able to look
after her housework.
“She tried all kinds of medicine, but
nothing seemed to do her much good,
and when I began to hear so much talk
about Tanlac, I just made up my mind
to lay all the other medicines aside and
put her on Tanlac.
“She has now finished her fourri
bottle, and she is like a different wo
man. The rheumatism has been entire
ly relieved; she doesn’t have the head
ache any more, is no longer nervous
like she used to be, and she sleeps like
a baby. She has a splendid appetite
and has been gaining strength and
weieght right along and as I have al
ready told you, she has gained twenty
five pounds. She is full of life and
energy now, and is looking after the
housework like she hadn’t ever been
sick.
“I tell you it’s just wonderful the
way this medicine has helped her, for
she was almost a nervous wreck when
she started taking it. I’ll never be
able to tell you how thankfudl I am for
v/hat it has done for her, and I’m rec
ommending it to all my friends. Many
cf them have already begun taking it
on my recommendation.”
