fJOREilS DESCRIBES

SIDE OF LIFE

OTHER

IN CAMP

Harold Norris, popular .high echool ttudent. and one of the three Richmond boys mustered Into the Ohio National Guard at Its Columbus concentration camp, has received an honorable discharge from the guard and has returned to Richmond "for good." An "athletio heart," a common ailment among high school and college ttudcnts who indulge freely In strenuous athletics, caused Norris to fall in the rigid physical examination necescry before soldiers are sent to the front. Bringing with him tales of soldier life in an army concentration camp of 11,000 men and asserting that complaints relative to life in guard now reaching Washington are not without foundation, Norris considers himself extremely lucky to be back In Richmond again. Cites Trials of Life. In relating tales of camp life Norris Jntlmates that little trials like going f lghteen hours without food and drillins eight hours a day in the hot sun are not the least of a soldiers troubles. "With a guard house full of provisions within a few feet of the hungry men, we were obliged to go all day without food just because some officer had failed to affix his signature to a certain paper. Examples of red tape occurrences like this were to be expected every day," said Norris.'' ",The government apparently is finding trouble in getting outfits for its men," continued Norris. "Some of the men are without hats and shoes. Winter uniforms are worn. Feigned Deafness. "Numerous incidents of men trying to get out of the service by feigning certain physical disabilities come up every day. One private attempted to

his discharge by reignvs aeai-

get

ness. Everything went fine for the soldier until the officer told him he was excused. He heard that but he didn's hear any of the questions directed at him during the examination. He will go to Mexico. "For- diversion the men run the guard and take a trip to the city (Columbus). Punishment for this oftense is an extra trick on the guard detail." Norris will remain in Richmond a few days before leaving for some Ohio city, where he will take employment in the United States recruiting service. He declares however that he is "footloose and free" and will be back in Richmond September 7, when the fall term opens at Richmond high school.

AVERT TROUBLE WITH EMPLOYES OF PENNSY LINE

Disturbance among the employes of

the Pennsylvania lines here was nar

rowly averted last week, according to the statement of a prominent trainman today. He said many of the men

were greatly incensed by what they

considered unfair treatment when they were called before the superintendent of the Richmond division last week and asked to stand by the road in case of a strike. An agitation threatened by some or the more hasty leaders was calmed by the advice of more conservative persons, who advised waiting upon the action of the brotherhoods. About 75 per cent of the local railroaders informed Superintendent Le Boutillier that they would stand by thf. strike order. The majority of the

remaining 25 per cent refused to commit themselves. Mr. Le Boutillier is now in Pittsburg. BOYS AND GIRLS ASKED TO RESORT

Guy Berkenpas Says Evidence is Sufficient

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 18. "I can

; recommend Tanlac because of what

my customers say about it and of what it did for my wife," Guy A. Berkenpas, salesman for the Grand Union Tea Co., of 1924 Vinton street, said recently. "" "For several years my'wife has suffered from stomach, liver and kidney trouble," Mr. Berkenpas continued. "She was usually constipated and had no appetite. She seemed to have no desire to eat and was growing weak as a result of this,and also sleeplessness. Severe pains in her back bothered her. She tried several medicines but none helped her. "A number of customers on my tea route had been benefitted by Tanlac so I bought a bottle for my wife. The results " of that one bottle have been wonderful. - She -. rests well at night now, eats heartily without bad after effects and is gaining st-rength. The pains have disappeared from her back and the constipation has been relieved. I cannot say too much in praise of Tanlac." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, - rheumatism, nervousness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and the like. Tanlac is now being specially introduced and explained in Richmond at Clem Thistlethwaite'B drug store. Adv. .
