Isaacs Writes From Camp Sevier Ma. Editor: On Oct. 20 some of the Watauga boys were trans ferred from Camp Jackson to Camp Sevier. The camp was new to us, at first, but now we are all acquainted and are liking fine. I want all the people back home to know that every man from Wa tauga is doing his best. You can tell !one as far you can see him; they all carry the old Watauga smile. We all have plenty of clothing, and all other equipments neces sary. Several of the boys already have been promoted, and are ma king good. The. climate is fine here. We have been having frosts for about a month, but no snow has yet fallen. The camp i now quarantined for rueasels., although the disease is in a very mud l oun. j ne soi dier boys call it military mea sels. The quarantine will soon be lifted and we will then be per mitted to crowd the streets of Greenville again. The conditions are by no means alarnrng, but simple, and all for our good. In the meantime the Y. M- C. A. buildings are closed to crowds, but they serve the men through windows with stationery, maga zines and other reading matter. On Thanksgiv ing day a great number of men spent their first Thanksgiving day in the army, and we could not have asked for better time. Thousands of pounds of the ''national bird" was furnished to the camp. Cele ry, crauberry sauce, plum pud ding, mashed potatoes and oth er things were furnished to each and every soldier. Almost every soldier was remembered by home folks, friends, or sweet hearts with a package the day before Thanksgiving. We thank them. About forty per cent of the men in camps were permitted to en joy the day with home folks and friends, hut. I he knife, fork and spoon were used in full sway by every man who remained in camp, We have made our great decis ion. That within itself is some thing for which to be thankful, While the war goes on, we men of the Jarmy hope to have no mis trivimrs as -to our duty. When the war is over we have no apol oies to make. People can nev er challenge our future because they doubt our past as a slacker in this all changing struggle May we thank God for bitter or sweet. Again we are thankful for the opporl unity we have of showing Aiii' iican ideals, of lit erally transporting the hope of the new world to the despair of Hiisunnc. nut oui.y jor us nut ior t m 1 . all men everywhere, free govern meut and equal rights. Ve ar not boastful, but all are thank ful to G-id for our shareof Amer ican freedom. A word to the girls. Every girl is interested in the boysof course and take my advice, The best old stamping grounds in Watau ga, On Sunday mornings we all go out to services, and the remain der of the day is spent as we choose. With best wishes to homefolks, friends and all back home, 1 Sincerely. LLOYDS. ISAACS, 40 20 Co. F.. 120lh Infantry, Camp Se 50 30 10 vier; S.

No cutting, no connmHit, Tablets. Tbi Do and the Sbeep. All hands seem to be coming into agreement that however in viting the possibilities may be for sheep husbandry in North Carolina aud in spite of the op portunities being developed by. the changing conditions which tend to make sheep growing one of the most attractive now ojmhi to the farmer, no progress is go ing to be made in this State un til the dog question has been set tled. So long as the dog is per mitted to roam at will, untaxed and multiplying, the farmers of the state will have noencouruge- ment to go into the sheep grow ing business aud the splendid ad vantages offered in the State will go unimproved. A reader of the Progressive Farmer has written to Editor Poe to this effect: "If you will agitate for a good big tax on dogs, I am sure you can help us in our efforts to raise sheep." To this Editor Poe is suggestively responsive. He does not believe much progress will be made with any plan to tax dogs and put the tax in the general public treasury. He thinks much the wisest plan would be for a law providing that dogs shall be taxed at certain rates and these dog taxes then get apart in a special fund and used for repay ing any mau whose sheep are killed by dogs. "It will not help a man very much, nor rncourage him greatly in sheep raising," The l'rogressive farmer says, "just to know that taxes are paid on the dog that killed his sheep. But it will help him a great deal if he knows that in case he loses sheep, he can get e- nough tax money to replace the lost animals. Along with this plan, of course, provision should also be made (I) for killing im mediately any dog known to have killed a sheep, and (2) for levying on the owner an extra tax or surtax amounting to pro- bably five times the normal tax on a dog." That plan would seem to be getting somewhere. It has be- come piamiy nui.iiusc turougn hing series of legislative agita- tion that a departure must be nade from the old custom of pleading with the legislature to lew a eenernl tax on docs. The Poe idea of penalizing the sheep- killers strikes u as a close hit at the solution. Orange County has, or did have, ailoglawnome thing on the order suggested b.v the Progressive Farmer, and a brave start was made at enforc es it but if our memory is not at fault, the dog owners finally bjwled it into inocuous desue tude. T he penalizing of the dog points the way out. Charlotte Observer. An Old Mnn's Stomach.

I was in bed for weeks, unable to get up. 1 had such a weakness and dizziness, ... and the pains were very severe. A friend to. 4 mc I had tried every thing else, why not Cardui?... I did, and soon saw it was helping me . . . After 12 bottles, I am strong and well." TAKE The Woman's Tonic Do you feel weak, diz zy, worn-out? Is your lack of good health caused from any oi the com plaints so common to women? Then why not give Cardui a trial? It should surely do for you what it has done for so many thousands of other women who suffered it should help you back to health. Ask some lady friend who has taken Cardui. She will tell you how it helped her. Try Cardui. All Druggist in o Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA PR 0FESSI0NAL. E. Glenn Salmons, Kcsidcnt Dentist. BOONE, N. C. Ofiicot Ci-itcuer.llotel.
