It is said that a soldier In the
trenches on the .French front felt a bug
on tbe back of ids neck and reached
to get it. Just as he ducked his head
to get tbe bug n bullet hit the trench
where his Iiea<| had Itecn resting. Look-
ing at the bug In a loving way. lie
said: “Little bug, I can't decorate you
with a Victoria medal, but l can put
you back where yoji were.” Thus
aguin was the old saying, a small mat
ter may be the turning point In t
man's life, demonstrated.
The Rev. Robert Shuler, sometimes
called the Southern Methodist fire-
brand, preached at Travis Street Meth-
odist church here yesterday, the occa-
sion being the baccalaureate sermon
for the graduating class of North
Texas College and Kidd-Key Conserva-
tory of Music. Ho preached a nusv
excellent sermon, and though he hand
ed out a few “packages," no one could
deny that they were timely, truthful
and should have reached the stmt.
Among other things. Rev. Shuler de-
clared that the danger to America Is
not from an invading army, but is
from her people "going light.” He dc
scribed how this 111 sea st* attacks pig-
eons and said there seemed to be no
remedy when once it took Jiold of the
bird. People, he said, are running
•way after pleasures and social en-
gagements and business until there is
no more home life In America. HiR de
serlption of the old-time Christian
heme and Ids comparison of that home
with Borne of the homes of the present
time was vivid—awl trite In both In-
stances. This was the Rev. Robert
Shuler's .first visit to Sherman, and he
made a lot -of friends who venture the
hope that he may come again.
JAPANESE TO EUROPE.
Word hag readied Washington that
Japan may send .'ttm.OOO men to Russia
this year to assist in holding the Rus-
sian front agaiusi the Hermans. The
report' lias not lieeu officially confirm-
ed. but Washington Is in< lire*! to be-
lieve It.
The information was received in re
spouse to a request made to Japan bv
the allied governments for shipping
to transport American troops lo
France. There is hot sufficient tonn-
age afloat cm file Atlantic at the pres-
ent time, to accomplish this without
Interfering with shipments of food sui>-
1‘Ues. Japan replied to the request
With fhe statement that she wn* think-
ing of sending t root is to the Russian
front, and might, therefore, require
■1! her shipping for her own use.
This attitude on the iwrt of Japan,
following immediately upon her de-
risifflj to send a military commission
to the United State* and her agitation
for more rapid increase in her navy,
can be brought about only by her de-
tto that America should not besom?
ilr™*
Russia to America as they have never
been thrown open before. 1
It is entirely natural that Japan
should view such things with deep con-
cern, and that she should attempt to
offset them by placing Russia under
«>blignlions to her. Her best way to ac-
complish this, she lielieves. is by send-
ing an army, which would, of course,
he of vast service to Russia.
Tlie allies eouid have brought Japan
Into the war long ago; but they have
been slow to do so because they did
not desire that she should be in a ik>-
sition to demand much at the cud of
the war. Great Britain knows that the
Canadians-and Australians have little
love for the Japanese, and both Cana-
da awl Australia will be greatly dis-
pleased if Jn|>an becomes all powerful
In the Pacific. Great Britain cannot
afford to offend the two greatest units
in her empire, and, because of (1m
complications which she can easily
foresee, she has not been ov<*rnnxlous
to see the Japanese army In Europe.
More that a year ago' The Light pre-
dicted (hat the Japanese would, before
the eml of the war. come to see the
situation that confronts them and
would make every effort to plant her
soldiers hi Europe. According to the
reports from Washington she is now
about to attempt this. She Is de-
termined that she shall sit not fat
from the head of the council table
when the terms of lienee are settled,
mid she is forcing her way in that di-
rection.—Sail Antonio Light.
SLOAN’S LINIMENT FOR
RHEUMATISM.
Tlie torture of rheumatism, the pains
and aches that make life unbearable
are relieved by Sloan's Liniment, a
dean clear liquid that is easy to apply
and more effective than mussy plas-
ters or ointments because it penetrates
quickly without rubbing. For the many
pains and aches following exposure,
strains, sprains and muscle soreness,
Sloan's Liniment Is promptly effective.
Always have a bottle handy for gout,
lumbago, toothache, backache, stiff
neck and ail external pains. At drug-

(By Sanitary Committee, Chamber of
Cowerce.)
Flies around the home Hre danger-
ous.
Unless you are active in their de-
struction, they will do you harm.
Every day and all the time are the
best times to kill flies. '*•
Watch out for places where flies
breed. If they are within a half mile
of your house, tlie flit's will visit you.
SIS tier cent of Sherman flies are
bred in barn or stable manure.
Flies arc carriers of disease. No
flies, less disease.
Uncovered garbage cans are ideal
places for producing flics.
House flics are not friends of
babies. If you have a baby in the'
home, keep the flies out.
Ton hare a right to insist that your
neighbors keep their premises us clean
ns yon keep yours.
July and August are the months
with the highest baby death rules.
They are also months when flies are
most numerous.
Tins less filth and manure you have
around your premises the fewer files
yon will have, because filth and ma-
nure breed flies.
And if your butcher or your grot-oi-
ls not afraid of flies, tell them that
you are. • o*
No got at housewife would tolerate
bedbugs lu her home. Why should she
have flies?

tlkree years ago anil’ in spite of till we
could do she kept getting worse. Her
stomach got so weak anti out of order
there were very few things she could
eat at all and what she did eat seemed
to do tier harm instead of grind. She
had Intense pain in her stomach caused
by tlie-gas and she was constantly
belching up sour, undigested food. The
gas pressure was so heavy on her
heart fit times site could hardly

shattered, she could hardly sleep at
all autl was always up half tho night
tr.ting to flint relief. She Just seemed
to be rapidly wasting away, ^e lost
thirty pounds during the past year ami
was in such a bad condition I was
alarmed alsuit her.
“She lmd the very best treatment
and I bought every kind of medicine
anyone would suggest but nothing did
her any good. Then 1 decided travel-
ing about might benefit her and in our
rounds we went to Oklahoma ('tty.
There she was advised to go to the hos-
pital and lie operated on, but I said,
not yet awhile. I had been reading
the testimonials for Talllac givey by
our Texas people for some time. Ev-
erywhere we went Tailiac was being
praised for its fine work, so at El
I’aso I bought a bottle and my wife be-
gan taking it. Well, it proved to lie
exactly \vh:ft she needed. in a few
days she began to talk of feeling better
and I could tell she was improving.
Then I bought her second bottle In
San Antonio and she kept on getting
better. She has tukeu three bottles
nmv and 1 consider her a Well woman.
She has gained fifteen pounds ip
weight, eats anything she wants, sleeps
like a baby every night and has tlie
strength and color she used to have
before she got sick. I am now buying
Tanlac for my daughter who is badly
ruu-down and 1 feel sure it is the medi-
cine for her, too, and I anil glad for
everybody to know what 1 think of

A Series of Companion* That
8tudy In Economy.
I have reejently made an exhaustive
Investigation of the comparative food
value of the products of white corn,
and the results show these products to
lie so much more economical than
many of tbe foods commonly used that
1 believe It wquld interest your read-
ers to see tlie comparison.
Tin* food value of one ixrnnd of corn-
megl, grits or hominy, costing 3 cents,
is equal to the food value of any of
the following commonly used foods:
1 pound ot wheat flour, coating.. $ cert*
1 pound of rice. Costing............. 9 cent*
t’4 pounds of cheese, costing.,.... CO Cents
Pi pounds ot round steak, costing 80 cents
2 dozen eggs, costing...............90 cents
14 peek of potatoes, costthg...,,... 45 cents
0 pints of milk, costing............. 30 cents
National prosperity has made us
prodigal of our resources and wasteful
of our^substance, particularly In the
matter of food, for which we have
been paying more than is eommensu-
rato with food values, aud I believe It
behooves Americans today to consider
the real nutritive value of tho food
which they purchase and to know the
merits of white com products, which!
1 believe to he the cheapest nourishing j
food which the housewife can buy on
the market today.-
Tlie south knows and appreciates the
value of white corn for table ty?e. Why
not the north, east ami west?—A. W.

LISPING AND STUTTERING.
Children Should Be Taught How to Uoo
Their Speech Organs.
Lisping may be caused by a lack of
practice iu the organs of speech. Stut-
terers are recruited largely, from the
ranks of the ltapers. Children lmttato
Ibe slovenly and disagreeable lan-
guage of their elders.
Among the causes of lisping, in ad-
dition to thg wrong use of speech or-
gans, are abnormal teeth, lips, tongue,
jaw or palate. Some cases are appar-
ently due to carelessuess or haste In
reproducing speech sounds.
Lisping is not to be considered ab-
normal unless it noticeably persists
beyond the age of five or six years.
Usually the tendency to slur over
words disappears rapidly in the upper
grades' of school. Fully one-fourth of
tho eblldreu entering school suffer
from this speech defect.
Many educators nt-gue that the first
months of school should be given over
to exercises in oral language Intended
to form correct habits of speech. They
claim that the anxious haste of tho
primary teacher to teach children to
read is unjustified nnd mnintaln that
If one-lialf of the time used for phonic
drills were devoted to voice cultivation
many oases of stuttering would be pre-
vented.—Pittsburgh Press.

1917-GRANT SIX-1917
A Truly Great Car
T^HE 1917 Grant Six has all the qualities that make for true
I greatness. It is simple in design, honest in construction,
strong, sturdy, efficient and able. What it promises, that it
performs.
It looks good because it IS good.
It wins buyers because of its wonderfully
smooth, flexible motor and its handsome, roomy,
comfortable body.
It keeps them sold by reason of its consistent
performance and true economy.
The Grant Six climbs any hill that any car
can climb. In Chicago recently it gave a daily
^exhibition of climbing a 50 per cent grade.
In Denver it climbed the famous "Mill of
Despair” on high gear—a performance so far
not equaled. v
It combines beauty and economy with the
highest type of efficiency.
And it has every high-grade feature that you
can desire—seats five passengers comfortably—
is fully equipped and presents all the qualities
you find in any first-class SIX at any price.
Come and see the new 1917 model now and
get a new vision of automobile value.
