The G.A.R. Encampment.

Capt. T. B. Tuttle today received a letter from J. P. Platt, of Kingston, Mo., department commander of the G. A. R. of Missouri, which stated that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, May 10, 11, and 12, have been settled upon as the dates for the G. A. R. state encampment, which will be held in Carthage. The committee of advisement will meet here on the 9th.

Commander Platt and his staff will pay Carthage a visit in the future to help along the plans for the encampment, arouse interest, etc. The encampment will be a big thing for Carthage and will bring several thousand strangers here, many of whom have never seen this rich section of Missouri before. The Sons of Veterans and W. R. C. state organizations meet at the same time and the encampment promises to be more than ordinarily successful this year.

Mornin',

It was bad enough when ya saw those disclaimers printed in magazines for prescription medication. Now I’m seein’ thirty second commercials on tv that are mainly sayin’ who shouldn’t use this new wonder drug. I’ve gotta figure it’s some sort of legal thing.

I have to admit I have read through a good portion of those two page, fine print advertisements, just ta see what they’re afraid of. At least the printed ads usually said what the stuff was supposed ta cure. These tv ads just tell ya ta "ask your doctor about...".

‘Course ya shouldn’t use the stuff if ya have liver trouble or have ingrown toenails or warts.

I’ve gotta wonder how they figured out what ailments ta warn against. What ever this stuff cures it just has ta be worse that any of those things listed that keep ya from usin’ it. I suppose these things are on a "need ta know" basis. Myself, I’m just hopin’ I don’t ever get that curious.

This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin.’
