From an American Father"
Letter from a father to an only son, a simple and typical
expression of the broad-minded patriotism and good sense of
, American fatherhood.
My dear Boy :
In the matter of the Reserve Training Camp enlistment
for service, follow your conviction of duty without fear or
favor. Of course, your mother and I have had our anxieties
and our heartaches over it all, as have thousands of other
parents. But, from the first, we have held ourselves ready
cordially to support you in whatever decision you should
make. We have felt that you would decide for yourself, or
leave the decision to the fortunes of the selective draft, as
in your judgment was best.
We still want you td'make the choice for yourself.
There can be no doubt that in all questions of service and
secrifice the only true course is to reason the matter out
with conviction, committing all things to Him whose ser
vants we are, and going forward with calmness and assur
ance of right, not looking back.
I think all thoughtful and conscientious people are of
this opinion, but human nature is not always dependable,
and we have not always the strength of character to do even
the small things that we should. To determine the right in
a big crisis of life is far more difficult when we realike that
the choice may lead to danger and deprivation, or to disap
pointment. Sometimes duty seems to call two ways, and often the
seeming is real. Now and then we have obligations in more
than one direction. In such a case, it seems to me that we
should take the course that calls to the highest service and
the greatest good, as well as we are able to judge it, not per
mitting personal claims, affections, or prejudices to inter
fere. The call to war is, we are taught, one of the suprem
est duties, perhaps the most supreme.
We want to help you to make a right decision. We
want to support you in that decision, and we will. We do
not want to influence you on personal grounds. We do not
want to force you into the service. We do not wantfto hold
you back from going if you think you should. Do right as
God gives you to see it. That was Lincoln's motto. No
greater authority among mere men ever lived.
I have no doubt that you have filed your application and
that you will go ahead.
We proudly go with you howbeit a bit full up at heart.
.But there are thousands like us.
Once more, our love
DADDY.
Telephone Troubles
BELL Telephone employees are con
stantly trying to prevent trouble of any
kind in the workings of the equip
ment, and to repair such troubles as soon
as possible after they occur.
Subscribers are asked to report trouble
immediately, and to exercise a reasonable
patience while it is being cleared.
If you do not see a man actually
working on your telephone, it does not
mean that you are not receiving proper
attention.
The difficulty may be at the switch
board, in the cable or at any one of sev
eral other places. Two or three men may
be at work hunting it down.
It is always our first consideration to
clear troubles promptly.

YOUR INCOME TAX
Will Answer Your Questions
. Take Your Money
Due Jan. 1st.
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 19, 1917.
(Special.) You won't have to figure
out your own income tax all by your
self hereafter. The Government is
going to send out men to help you.
It will be up to you to hunt up these
men, who will be sent into every coun
ty seat and some other towns besides,
to meet the people. Postmasters,
bankers arid newspapers will be able
to tell you when the governments in
come tax man will be around, and
'where to find him. . He will answer
your questions, swear you to the re
turn, take your money, and remove
the wrinkles from your brow. Re
turns of incomefor 1917 must be made
between January 1 and March 1 1918.
"The Government recognizes" Col
lector of Internal Revenue James M.
Cathcart said today, "that many per
sons experience a good deal of diffi
culty in filling out ineome tax forms.
It recognizes too, that taxpayers res
ident at points where collector's of
fices are not easily accessible find it
hard to get proper instruction in the
law. Next year, when every mar
ried person living with wife or hus
band and having a net income of $2,
000, .and every unmarried person not
the head of a family and having a
net income of $1000 for the year
1917. must make return of income on
the form prescribed, there will be hun
dreds in every community seeking
light on Jthe law, and help in execut
ing their returns. My own and ev
ery other collection district in the na
tion will be divided into districts, with
the county as the unit, and a Govern
ment officer informed in the income
tax assigned to each district. He
will spend hardly less than a week in
each county, and in some counties a
longer time, very likely in the court
house at the county seat. In cities
where there are collectors branch of
fices, he will be there, and in other ci
ties, possibly at the city hall. My

VINOL MAKES

Any woman who buys a bottle of
Vinol for a weak, run-down, nervous
condition and finds after giving it a
fair trial it did not help her, will
have her money returned.
You see, there is no guess work
about Vinol. Its formula proves
there is nothing like it for all weak,
run-down, overworked, nervous men
and women and for feeble old people
and delicate children. Try it once
and be convinced.
