COMMENTS
Beginning November 1st the two pounds per capita per month
supply of sugar is increased to three pounds, and merchants will
be permitted to sell to a family one month's supply of sugar based
on three pounds per person per month. Therefore the, two and
five pound package rule is cancelled.
All mill feed stuff must be sold at 20c per 100 pounds profit at store
door; when delivery is made, 25c is permissable.
Retailer need not keep record of flour sales, but must keep record of
substitutes purchased from wholesalers.

LOUIS VOELKEL, Retailer,
LEO. FREDE, Consumer.
AUTOS ORASHED
Damage To Both Cars—Occupants
Escaped Unhurt
Friday afternoon two autos collided
on Colorado street, two blocks east
of the public square, but very fortu-
nately no one was injured. An out-
going car, driven by - Vasek of
Rabb’s Prairie, and going at high
speed, occupied the left side of the
street, and the other car, driven by
Mrs. W. G. Meinert, coming to the
square and occupied the same side,
but on the right from her position,
were the victims. Seeing that no at-
tempt was made by the occupants
of the Vasek car to turn to the right,
Mrs. Meinert, hoping to avoid a col-
lision, attempted to turn to the left,
and crash! the collision came. Both
cars were considerably damaged.
REMEMBERED HANDSOMELY
Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Ahlrichs of War-
renton, in the city Wednesday, graced
our sanctum and left an abundant
supply of large squash, a thoughtful-
ness and kindness that is most sin-
cerely appreciated.

' ABOUT OUR TEXAS BOYS
Major Ehlers Gives Very Interesting
News in Letter
Majbr Walter Ehlers, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Hugo Ehlers of LaGrange,
among many other interesting mat-
ters, gives the following which will
be appreciated by our local and coun-
ty readers:
The boys of the 36th Division, which
was at Fort Worth, certainly estab-
lished a record and it brought the
name of Texas to all ‘parts of the
world, showing what Texas is made of.
Quite a number of my school mates
at A. & M., have fallen on the battle-
field in the last two months, and quite
a few officers with whom I was as-
sociated with at Fort Worth, that I
knew personally, have fallen, and the
captain who took charge of Company
‘F,’ the company that I had when I
left Fort Worth, was killed in action
between October 7th and 14th. Major
Hutchison, the major who came up to
help me recruit last year and spent
a week with me, was also killed. The
details that I can learn, the men of
the 36th Division waded the Aisne
river, water coming up almost to their
chin, a little above their breast. This
is just below Grandpre. Then, after
wading the river they went through
a swamp, and coming up far above
their knees, and as they were beginn-
ing to get out of this swamp, the
Cermans began to turn loose their
machine guns on them. Regardless
of all that our men went right thru,
many being wounded, and took the
town of Grandpre, and we have also
received information that every man.
in the 36th Division was decorated.
When the boys return home we will
get the full detail. While the Texas
boys have established a record and
made Texas famous, it is our inten-
tion here in the Cavalry to not only
uphold the record, but surpass it.
“Was very sorry to hear of the
death of Edgar Amberg.
SPANISH INFLUENZA STRIKES
SUDDENLY
Pneumonia Often Results—Victims
Seized Without ^Yarning, Making
Precaution Doubly Necessary.
Much of the difficulty experienced
by health authorities iin checking the
spread of the Spanish influenza lies
in the fact that it strikes its victims
without warning.
Although State and Federal autho-
rities are taking every possible pre-
caution in their effort to stop the
spread of the epidemic, the disease in
many sections of the country has got-
ten entirely beyond control and is
claiming its victims by the thousands.
It is universally agreed by all well
informed persons that the surest pre-
ventative is to get the system in the
best possible physical condition in or-
der to be able to throw off the in-
fection. As has been previously stated
it is possible to perfect the powers
of resistance of the human system so
that it can throw off almost any in-
fection, not excepting Spanish influ-
enza, which is one of the most conta-
gious diseases known.
Medical authorities agree that pao>
pie who are weak and run-down ard
the earliest victims of the influenza
epidemic. If you find yourself weak
or losing flesh, or if you are in a gen-
erally run-down condition^ you are
really in great~clanger if you should
come in contact with the influenza
germ.
As a powerful reconstructive tonic
and system builder, Tanlac is without
equal. This is a statement of facts
and is fully supported by recognized
authorities. According to all accept-
ed reference works, including the
United States Dispensatory, Encyclo-
pedia Britannica and leading text
books used in the school of medicine,
the principle ingredients of Tanlac
possess the most valuable tonic prop-
erties known to science. This state-
ment is further proven by the fact
that millions of persons who have ac-
tually taken Tanlac have testified to.
its extraordinary merit as a medicine.
Tanlac restores health and strength
to the weak and run-down system by
enabling every organ of the body to
perform its proper function in na-
ture’s own way. It creates a healthy
appetite for nourishing food, and is
anideal strengthening tonic for per-
sons who are in a run-down condition
and1 who are suffering from the after-
effects of influenza, la grippe or bron-
chial troubles.
Tanlac is sold in LaGrange by J.
Meyenberg.—Adv.
