for them a continuation of our good wishes.

FARMERS,
ATTENTION.
We are needing more live stock every week. Whether
you have one animal or a car load, see us or call us up, we
can use them at prices that will be interesting to you.
Help the little packers grow to be "big folks." May be we
can soon double what we are now using. We are paying out
the cash for live stock at the rate of nearly a thousand dollars
every day. My, how good that sounds to the farmers.
There is such a wide range between corn and hog prices
that it would pay you greater profits in hog feeding than at
any time for the past twenty-five years.
When you buy Meat,
call for our products.

This little bit of advice may help
you regain your Health,
Strength and Vitality
Thousands of people suffer from nervous
... ness. They are rdn down and miserable without
knowing the reason why.
They do not stop to think that much of their
trouble may be caused by drinking tea and coffee
which contain the drugs, thein and caffeine. When
you over-stimulate the system for any period of
time, the result may be nervousness with its
many accompanying ills. You may fail to sleep
properly and your sleep does not refresh you as '
, it should.
Postum, made from scientifically roasted
cereals, will help , you to overcome all these
conditions. For it contains only healthful sub
stances, instead of drugs, as are. found in tea '
and coffee.
Postum helps build sound nerve structure,
by letting you get sound, restful sleep.
In flavor, Postum is much like high-grade
coffee. In fact there are many people who pre
fer Postum for its savory flavor alone.
Order Postum from your grocer today.
Serve this rich, fragrant beverage for the family.
See how the children will like it, and how much
better everybody will sleep at night.
, Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins)
mads instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who
. prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared)
mads by boiling for 20 minutes.

SOLDIER'S TOUCHING LETTER
TO HIS MOTHER

"I Do Not Fear to Die I Will Cross
Over the River and lie Down 'in
the Shade of the Trees and Await
You There.
Recently the body of John Rob
bins Burkett, who was killed on the
battle front in France, was interred
in Riversido Cemetery, Jackson,
Tenn., his old Jioins., John was the
son of Mr. andlklrs.' J. W. N. Burkett,
now of Dallas, Texas, and was a
nephew of J. M. Robbins, a promi
nent traveling salesmen of Jackson.
Harvey Hogg, of Nashville, a per
sonal friend at John's father, J. W.
N. Burkett, has sent The Periscopo a
copy of a 4ette?T written by John to
hh mother on the night before he
was killed ' in. battle. In a note to
The Periscope, Mr. Hog says:
"Wouldn't it be glorious if the mod
ern mothers could read this letter
and let it find a lodgmeBt in their
hearts and minds and emulate the
example of -In. is wonderful mother of
John's?", The letter follows:
"My Dear Mother:
"I have debated long on whether
or not to write this letter, but believe
that I should, for you will not receive
it unless I am killed. I have never
forgotten the framed letter hanging
in the Alamo, from a boy, condemned
to death by the Mexicans, to his
mother, and written the night before
he was to die, and I have always felt
that no matter what kind of life he
had lived, there wa3 a saving grace
in that missive. May it be so with
me. .
'It is useless to try to write down
how much you have meant to me,
how your love has drawn me back
from iany temptations, and your am
bition for me has spurred me on in
endeavoring to reach the places you
wanted me to climb. I have achieved
little in this life 'till now, but it
has not been from lack of endeavor,
and most certainly not from lack of
encouragement and help from you.
No one ever had a better mother than
you have been to me, for you and I
have been chums, comrades, sweet
hearts, and I have often wondered
how I would ever be if you were tak
en irom me. There has never been
an Inspiration or "a thought but that
you were part of it, and whatever
of good I may have done Is because
of the example and teaching you and
Papa have given me. -
"It may be hard to be cut off in
the golden morning of life, but do
not grieve for me, Mother dear, for
would that I could die ten times In
stead of once, if it could be for my
country. I do not fear to die, for I
will cross over 'the river and lie down
in the 3hade of the trees and await
you there. ; , 1
"Through your love and teaching
am prepared to die, or rather feeli
that there is no death, only a transi
tion to a more beautiful life.
"War is, of course, hardening. Al
ready I have seen death in many
forms and have slept on the battle
field with the fallen all around me,
but never yet have I gazed on a falleu
soldier of ours without feeling that
hi3 death was glorious and the sight
of the dead had made me realize
more keenly that this fleshly habita
tion is temporal, that there must be
another and a spiritual one, and to
put off one for tho other is not , to
be feared.
"'When you read this be assured
that I fell with my face toward the
enemy, as becomes my roroears, ana
that in my heart, if not in my life,
wa3 that favorite quotation of mine,
have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the
faith; henceforth there is laid up for
,rac a crown of righteousness.'
, "Your devoted son,
'JOHN ROBBINS BURKETT."
