A fine of J200 pr S100 and five days in Jail, was the sentence im posed upon John Rodugues by Justice Chapman for importing liquor into Klamath County. This was the second offense of the kind within the week for the defendant who was caught bring ing in liquor submerged in celery, con cealed in his shoes and other parts of his clothing. Fighting at St. MJhiel and Argonne Forest Participated in by Portland Boy. A member of The Oregonian staff yesterday received a letter from Private A. E. Asher, member of the Fourth United States Engineers, in France, de scribing in detail the fight on the River Vesle in which his Captain, James P. Growdon, of McMinnville, won citation by General Pershing for extraordinary heroism in action. Private Asher is a son of Mrs. Sarah Asher, of the Braintree Apartments, of this city, and a graduate of Lincoln High School. Following are extracts from his letter, written at Tout, France, December 1: " "Indeed, we did build bridges across the Vesle River and believe me, boy, it was some job. Before tackling it, we lay in a marsh, without blankets or any shelter, sopping wet to the skin, imperiled constantly by machine gun, one pounders and artillery fire and you can be assured that none of us showed our heads above the tiny hole we dug ourselves in. The first night we tried to put a bridge across, we only took one stroke of the ax a flash ensued and boy, I wish you could have heard the machine gun barrage that followed. We had no time to run, but dropped face down where we stood, some of the fellows falling in the river and tang ling themselves in the barbed wire, others Jumping for the bank. The bar rage lasted ten minutes (it seemed like ten years at the time) and the bullets just clipped the tops of the grass, seeming to just Braze our backs. The Substance or the Shadow?

WAS JUST ABOUT AT END OF ROPE Had Been Going Down Hill for Four Years Tanlac Re stores Health. "Tanlac has done me so much good that I am telling all my friends about it," said Atttlio Eneidi. of 100 First street, a few days ago. "I was not what you would call a sick man," he continued, "but I was far from being well. About four years ago I began to have a tired, worn-out feel ing all over, and didn't feel like doing a thing, as it seemed that every parti cle of my energy was gone. My appe tite wasn't very good, but in order to keep up what strength I could, I would force myself to eat. though nothing tasted right. I lost twenty-five pounds, and, in fact, got so generally run down in health that I was just about at the end of my rope. "I felt that I needed a good tonic of some kind, and so much was being said about Tanlac and so many people seemed to be getting such good results from it I Just had a feeling, that it was the very thing I needed, and it certain ly did prove out that way, for I feel like a new man out and out since I started taking it and am getting in bet ter shape every dny. That tired, worn out feeling has passed away and my energy seems to be coming back in leaps and bounds. I have a good appe tite and enjoy every bit I eat. and everything seems to be doing me lots of good, for I am gaining in weight right along. I am going to keep on taking Tanlac. for I believe it is going to give me back all I lout during those four years, and. I am telling everybody I meet what great things Tanlac has done for me."
