Omaha, Nobr., July 13. 1.;:: ll'bairmn OM I! 3m Week ('em., I atur, Indiana. Dear Mr. ('bail man: i It. i ■ with •’ great nemie of ploar,ur I hat 1 acknwolodgr receipt of you: ‘ I'avor of the 23rd ultimo regardin'.' | "Old Home We k in Do-alnr.” 1 trul ! appreciate the fact that you have re- | membered that I am eno of the boy. and that I still have a very Warm place in my heart for the old home. Al he present time it is impossible L> me to state whether it would bo con . l enient for me to spend the week at *ho old homo owing to other busine v arrangements. However,‘ 1 am atiti-i fating n trip to Now, York sometiiw the latter part of August and will tr' and arrange to spend at least ;> da'' : I Decatur and hope tn have the pleasure |of shaking hand • with you. Please a*'. • cert my sincere thank", for votir kin' ’ remembrance. 1 am Ver ytrnly yours. It. F. ELZEY. I ' ’ Detroit Mi' 11., Jnlv 13 Chairman Old Home Week Com., Decatur, Indiana. Dear Mr. Chairman: it is with a great deal of ploasuw ihat I am answering your invltntlcr :o "Old Homo Week.” for I am prop to say that 1 may be counted os ono r the natives of Adams county. A.; look back upon my early days spen' in the environment of Decatur, lind ana, I realize where my ambitlo camo from, to try and get out in thia wcrl 1 ami make a Slice's.'. or in othe . words to make something out of m" elf. It is only in mtc.h a:; envtrcnmei ' as this, in association with real r o <’ round men that I have grown to know from my experience in life when bac'.' in thi" same old town of Decatur that one would want to push ahead and try to show the people of the tow n ‘ from which they saw yon grow up a : ? small boy in to manhood, that it i very easy to get out and make some thing of yourself. In other words, I mean to say. that coming from a town like Decatur, is an asset rather than a handicap. From my early boyhc > i* was instilled in my mind the vainof friendship of my fellow-man. am' ift'Vilinv's this| friendship is much mere valuable than money. As I hav grown to know my associates in m 1 articular profession, the one’s I am rind to count, as my friends. I always ’ find that they come from such the I same kind of an environment as I in self did. As I look over the long list of name ■ upon this invitation, I see names that have long left, my memory, and m” i heart aches to know what the pa t teen or sixteen years has done for them. I can’t help but feel that, th-'-have all mot with success, because they have the kind of stuff in tlm that counts for success. I can sincerely say deep down in my heart th I would not miss this invitation for .< great deal. While I am In a game that is hard to get away from, nevctheless I feel that a few days spent back in Decatur would only send me back to Detroit, with now vigor, in fact a now lease on life. After all. Do catur isn’t the isolated little town ■ that one would think it was. Its repu-

l “Then, about a year ago, while sill! in this run-down condition, the 'Flu’; came along anti I was an easy victim. I was down in bed for several w.oks mid no hope aa'i held i.m i'er my r> covery. I certainly had a very close | call and when I did finally get tip. my, I was as weak as a babv and my i stomach, kidneys and rheumntl: in* ’n worse shape limn ever. I kept rei'i ing and hearing about Tanlac ;nd thinking it might, posrlbly lielu me I hough' a hottie and before I had finished taking It there was ii wonderful improvement in my feelings. Then I i bought another, then another and kept gelling better. Well, t- put it all in all in as few words as possible. I have i taken four bottles of Taaiac now and jam jurt like a man mml ■ imw. Wh m I I got on the scales the oilier day I found I had actually gained twenty I rounds In weight. But I ant mil muc’t urprised at this for I have been catling like a wolf and picking up ever, I since 1 finished my fir: t bottle of Tanl.'-c. My nerves are as :;lron" and steady as over and Tanlac hit made js.tieii a wonderful chance in me th it I am glad of the oppertunity to pans the good news along.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith.

Os ecurse that ini mediately found a soft spot in my heart and I would be very glad to know if these same boys reached home safely after th." war was over One I distinctly remember lived on the Mud Pike and the other one I have forgotten just exactly where, but some where close to town. Now. Mr. Chairman of the Invitation Committee, it seems as though I could write a book about yo-.'r town but I presume that all who come from this town could do the came thing i however I again wish to thank you faI tlie invitation and surely will be on
