WAR BOARD CUTS DOWN

re-
Uncle Sam pushed the clock ahead
one hour to give more light.
Take advantage of it. You owe it
to yourself and your country to make
every minute count.
Use your car—passenger or com
mercial—to the limit.
Samuel P. Colt, president of the
United States Rubber Company,
helped awaken the country to the
economic value of the automobile
last fall. He said—
“Everything on wheels must be
used and mobilized.
“The automobile is second to the
railroads as an adjunct and supple
mentary to them in collecting and
distributing merchandise.
“Owners should use their cars/'
both passenger and commercial, more
and more.”
Make the most of your car by using
the tires that will extend its usefulness
to the utmost.
Use good tires—United States Tires.
They last longest and carry, you
farthest at least cost.
There is a United States Tire for
every car or truck—to guarantee un
interrupted service and greatest
economy.
Our nearest Sales and Service Depot
dealer will tell you which ones will
serve you best

CALOMEL PURIFIED
OF ALL OBJECTIONS
Chemists Rid Doctors’ Favor
ite Medicine of Nauseating
And Dangerous Qualities.
New Variety Trailed “Calo-
tabs.”
A triumph of modern pharmacy that
is destined to bless the whole world—
ilia; is the opinion of physicians and
diujgists who are familiar with thd
new calomel that is wholly free from
the objectionable effects of the old-
style calomel.
An occaslcnal purifying of the sys
tern and thorough cleansing of the
liver are absolutely essential to health
and, as all doctors know, calomel is
he only drug that accomplishes this
result. Now that the unpleasant and
dangerous effects are entirely remov-
d, the popularity of the new calomel,
Calotabs, will be vastly increased. Its
effect is delightful. One tablet at bed
time, a swallow .of water—that’s all.
You wake up next morning feelins
line, your liver cleansed, your system
purified and with a hearty appetite
for breakfast. Eat what you please
no danger. No restrictions of habit or
diet.
Calotabs are sold in original sealed
packages, price thirty-live cents. Your
druggist recommends and guarantees
them.—(Advt.)

Congressman Carl Vinson
Hears From His Brother
“Over There”—Lieut. Wil-
Bur Vinson Writes Again.
geom
Lieut. Fred L. Vinson, son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. S. Vinson, of this city,
has just been heard from by his
brother, Congressman jCafll \>ind3n<
Lieutenant Vinson has been in France
for several months, having attended
the officers’ training camp for several
weeks before receiving his commission
and leaving this 'country. -
Congressman Vinson also received
another letter from his brother, Lieu
tenant Wilbur Vinson, a few days
ago.
The two 1 letters above referred to
are being published below, the first
one from Lieut. Fred Vinson and the
second from Lieut Wilbur Vinson:
JULY 18, 1918.
Dear Carl: Have just received two
letters from you, one dated March 30
and the other June 4, and was very
glad to hear from you again.
For the past month I have been on
some special duty away frem here
and did not have time nor the oppor
tunity to write. Have been very busy
lately as the western front is very
active now as you well know.
I received one letter from Wilbur a
few months ago ut have not heard
since then and do not know what
part cf France he is in.
He might eb on the front by now.
What division is his regiment, do you
know? I only keep up with artillery
regiments, as most of the work is
with them and with division headquar
ters, so if I knew his division I would
likely know where he is. I have work
ed with four different divisions since
have been in observation.
I was fortunate enough to be able
to be in Paris on the 14th of July for
the celebration. It was certainly a
grand spectacle. Troops from all the
allied countries were in the parade.
The Americans made a fine showing.
There were the French, British, Amer
icans, Italians, Belgians, Poles, Si
berians, Greeks, Portugese, Scotch,
Welch, Canadians, Australians, New
Zealanders, Africans, Slavs, Czecho
slovaks and a few others. The French
and Americans received the most ap
plause.
There is not much news to tell.
Am sending your letters on to Wil
bur. Am well and getting on all right
Never did receive any of those cigars
Guess some one else smoked them up.
Will write again soon. Hope to
hear from you again at an early date
With love, FRED.
Packers’ Profits
—Large or Small
Packers’ profits look big—
when the Federal Trade
Commission reports that four
of them earned $140,000,000
during the three war years.
Packers’ profits look small—
When it is explained that
this profit was earned on
total sales of over four and
a half billion dollars—or
only about three cents on
each dollar of sales.
This is the relation between profits
and sales:

The letter written to Congressman
Carl Vinson by his younger brother,
Lieut. Wilbur Vinson, is as follows:
FRANCE, June 26, 1918.
Dear Carl: I have been quite busy
lately, for I have had my first tour of
duty in the front line trenches. At
present, I am behind the lines having
a short, but much needed rest; for
constant duty on the front requires
the best there is in you. - I will have
many things to tell you when I re
turn, all interesting. Suffice to say, I
am safe and sound. My platoon was
the first of the regiment to occupy any
position in the line, which is to be
considered somewhat of a compliment.
While I was there it was raining, cold
and disagreeable; nor were the dug-
outs the most comfortable or sanitary.
Fortunately neither “Fritz" nor the
"Cooties” got me, though rats had the
habit of crawling all over you when
you would lie down to rest. You have
read and seen illustrations of the
front, and “no-man's-land,"- so ^yfju
Shell holes as
large as stated. I have seen them,
been in them, and have seen their de
struction. One caved in half of my
dugout, and another landed about 50
feet from me, making a tremendous
hole fifty feet in diameter, and twice
as deep as I am high. I was tn it
shortly afterwards.
I am very proud of my men. They
are soldiers to be depended upon. The
actions of some were of such note that
the French Colonel addressed a com
munication to me making inquiries
regarding awarding some distinction
anu some recognition for their brav
ery.
In addition all our outfit have re
ceived letters of commendation from
our battalion and regimental com
manders, and also from the French
battalion, regimental and divisional
commanders of adjacent troops. So
you see I am very proud of the way
they conducted themselves first time
under (ire.
I received a letter from Fred not
long ago telling me he also was (lying
over the front, and the bodies were
always shooting at him.
When we get back we will know lots
and have lots to tell. Write soon.
WILBUR.

WANTED—3,000 Bushels Charcoal, at Once
I can offer you prices on CHARCOAL, in wholesale or retail quantities, that will pay you well for your time speit in makiiig this material.
You can burn your wood into coal and get four times as much for the material, if not more, and at the same time enable you to haul more with a single team than you could
with a double team if yo 1 were handling wood.
This is a proposition worthy of your consideration—a chance to make big money by increasing the value of your pine timber and saving the high cost of hauling heavy
wood and wearing out yjur wagons.
See me at once for quotations and general particulars.
