Dear Wife: ' I will certainly have to write you about our Thanksgiving dinner. Should have written you before, but had such a cold.Am better now. - Our dinner consisted of turkey, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, dress ing, peas, cranberries, peaches and cake, bread and butter. We certain ly did have some feed. There was a good football game too. Two com panies, of engineers played; score, 0 to 0. The ground was awful mud dy and wot, so you can Imagine about what they looked like when they got through. ... ' 'ileairoBt, would have certainly liked to haVe eaten' Thanksgiving dinner with you. .While our dinner warf- splendid it wasn't like wife and mother's cooking. I Saw by tho Observer that Sher wood Williams had sold his interest In the bank and he and John Witty had bought a ranch in Idaho. Has John.

They ore the result at Sr.SdwardV determination not to treat Bver nod bowd complaints with calomel. Hie efforts to banish it brought out these (bat calomel does, but have no bad after afecta. They don't injure the teeth like stront; Bquids or calomcL They take bold of the trouble end quickly correct it Why cor the liver at the expense of the teeth? Q) sometimes plays havoc with the gume. . So do strong liquids. It is best not la take calomel but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, dullness" and that bay feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "dear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the epirits. 10c and 25c a box. All druggists. ing by this time? . OM, say, I was about to forget!

The attack was on a two-mile front after heavy bombarding. ; Society news for the Observer should be sent In Friday. EDITORIAL COMMENT E. W. Howe's Philosophy (From E. W. Howe's Monthly) Deny it if you please, but the facts are that everybody is looking for a shade the best of it. A successful man cannot realize how. hard an unsuc cessful man finds life. II,... . You can make a mystery out of anything that happens after 12 o'clock at night. . . .-, - ;. ."It you make money, you must make it h spite of hard times and unfavorable weather. , For times are always hard, and weather is always too wet, too dry, too cold, or too warm.

' '.: - Every man thinks his friends are more devpted to him than ther really are. v - ." The cold, chilly facts are that the people arc not very loyal to anyone. If you hear the people criticise others, that is what they do to you. There is such a thing as friendship, but people seldom die for the sentiment. And it is probable that your friends are as faithful to you as you are to them. j - - - 'i REPORT OF CONDITION OF THE LA GRANDE NATIONAL BANK at La Grande, Oregon, in the State of Oregon, at the Close of Business on December 31, 1917 RESOURCES Loans and discounts .?1,085,030.55 Deduct: Notes and bills rediscounted 67,500.00 ?1,017,630.55 Overdrafts, none.

I hsve a fam ily of six children and have used this remedy In my home for yf-ars. I consider It the only coutch remedy on the market, as I have tried nearly all kinds." Earl C. Ross, publisher Hamilton County Republican-News, Syracuse, Kansas.- Ad v. . t 1 A , Tfe : IV-.-- A rennv a oav wieans a Kita-Month for a Every man, woman and child in this city can help keep one of our boys at the front supplied with cigarets and tobacco by setting aside one cent a day for each working day. . , Just think what this little sura will do! For 25 cents wo will enter your nanle on our Tobacco Fund list and will send 45 cents worth of smoking to bacco and cigarets to our boys in France: Jn the kit will be a postal card stamped and addressed to you, and on the kit will be a request to the soldier asking him to write a message to you on the postal and mail it. The Red Cross takes charge of these kits of smoking material and dis tributes them; the French government sends back the postal bearing a one-, cent United States stump and admits the tobacco free of duty. Surely if as busy an organization s the Red Ctojm Society and as pre occupied officials as those of the French government will do these things to nee that our soldiers get a chance to smoke, it isn't asking nun h to ask you to set aside one cent a day for the purpose. Send in your contributions of any amount 25 cents, $1.00, $5.00, or more. For every 25 cents that you give, a separate postal bearing your name goes to the front. Here's 45 cents worth of tobacco which is sent for your quarter: A package of Tuxedo tobacco and four books of cigaret papers. Three pouches of Bull Durham Tobacco and three books of papers. Two packages of Lucky Strike cigarets, twenty cigarets in each package. ' A return postal card addressed to the contributor on which the soldier will pen his appreciation and gratitude for the gift.
