Mrs. II. A. Woodruff Tells How She Got
Relief from Stomach Trouble
Through Use of Tanlac

A large percentage of human all
ments, although classified by various
names. may be traced directly to disor-
dered condition of the stomach. Many
people spend time and money being
treated for different troubles when
their stomach is really to blame.
Stomach trouble manifests itself in
number of different ways, such as in
digestion, biliousness, fermentation of
food, gas on the stomach, constipation,
headaches, and fullness of the head,
dizzy spells, nervousness and irritabil-
ity. When any one of these conditions
are present it is time to take Tanlac.
This is what Mrs. H. A. Woodruff, of
Clark's Lake, near Jackson, says,
'Tanlac gave me almost instant re-
lief from stomach trouble. / have suf-
fered for number of years and had
about given up hope, had indiges-
ton very badly. Food would ferment
on my stomach and l would often have
bad headaches. l was nervous and
could not sleep well. lost my appe-
tite, l felt tired and restless all the
time.
''Tanlae hae made a new woman of
me. NOW l eat well; sleep well; and
have regainod all my former energy
and ambition. | can recommend Tan
lac very highly"
Tanlac may be obtained here at the
store of E. E. Huyck.

New YORK. Nov. %. 1915.

Several large cigar concerns and sew
eral large packers began buying the
1915 Pennsylvania this week. Though
the new crop is far from perfect, it is
being we'll paid for, the buying having.
started at about 10 cents. The activity
in the old tobacco continues in dimin-
ished degree because of the diminished
supply of sound old tobacco.
In the Water Street section there is
activity in all types of domestic cigar
leaf. One house is known to have dis
posed of over 200 cases of Wisconsin,
and other houses handling this type
are also selling freely. The binder sit
uation is such that there is scramble
for this grade of goods. The best au-
thorities look forward to no more than
Is per cent of normal binder supply
from the 1915 Wisconsin crop and to a
shortage of Connecticut Havana Seed
also. Many of the better known Ha-
vana Seed packers insist that goods 20
inches and up are not in excess of one
third of normal supply. Fortunately,
many factories have covered their
binder requirements for long time to
come, but it looks now as if late COM
ers will be put to it to get binder ma
terial for another year. It is great
pity for both the leaf dealers and the
cigar manufacturers, at a time like
this, when business is undoubtedly on
the mend, that the trade should be
handicapped by an insufficient supply
of desirable goods from the new crop.

that the leaves are too thin to make
first-class filters, but there will be lot
of very nice tobacco" As to prices,
he thought that 10 and would be about
the right figure for the better class of
crops.
Local packers are authority for the
statement that there is very great
deal of pole-burn. The growers admit
there is some, but no more than is seen
in the average crop. On the question
of the general quantity that was put
away green, they are firm in declaring
that this is more bugaboo than real,
declaring that very little of the crop
was cut that did not have hundred
days. growth. Ninety days is about
the average growing time for crop in
this county. While considerable dam
age was done by hail, the storms were
very local in their character and the
crop at large was not damaged by hail
1t may be noted right here that much
of the hail-damaged tobacco has been
sold at 5 and 63 cents, which is not so
bad, as it does not have to be sorted
after the stripping.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. %, 1915
Thanksgiving finds hundreds of New
England tobacco growers in an unsea-
sonable mood-that is, the most they
have to be thankful for is that the net
returns for the season were not any
smaller than they are. Getting down
to brass tacks, the plain truth is that
more growers have lost than made
money this year and that many who
had reason to believe that the season
would show a fair profit have only
broken even.
Warehouses are operating under diff
ficulties. The labor shortage is the
most acute Connecticut valley ware
houses have ever known, and there is
every prospect that satisfactory help
will be more difficult to procure as the
season advances. The one rift in the
clouds is that the crop, being short
one, can be handled with less help than
is ordinarily required.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 1915.
A mere Thanksgiving holiday proved
by all odds insufficient to stem in any
way the tide of business that is sweep
ing through the leaf market. While
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania .tobaccos,
particularly old lots of the former crop,
ruled predominant in buyers favor,
the stimulus of sound underlying con-
ditions, prevailing now in the cigar in
dustry, was felt all along the line. Al
though buying on a rising market,
manufacturers have continued adding
to their holdings of Wisconsin binders
and Pennsylvania filters. AS regards
other domestic types, manufacturers
who have journeyed from the Water
street zone to the more rural environs
of Connecticut, are said to have met
with a rather astounding situation.
Their demands for Shadegrown tobacco
have been halved, and in some cases
divided by three, where sellers enter
tanned the belief that the existing sup
ply had best be apportioned among a
long list of customers rather than
turned over quickly to few.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 22, 1915.
While some of the packers declare
the 1915 crop to be anything but what
it should be, there are others who aver
that it will turn out very good crop.
Outsiders who consider entering the
field here to buy in due season will have
to come here and be their own judges.
Last week the representative of very
big firm of manufacturers, who ex-l
poets to buy largely of the new crop,
gave the writer this as mis- opinion of
the new tobacco: 1T IS a good burner
and is taking on nice color, and it
looks very much better than the 1914
tobacco did az this time of the year.
The only drawback Of consequence is

The market for the 1915 crop has
opened with prices that range from 10
to Is cents for the better class OF
goods, but it takes some riding for a
buyer to make any showing in acreage,
as only portions of crops are being
bought at the above figures, the dam
aged going at the same old rate
around and cents. Not over 10 per
cent Of the crop was taken down dur

outside of sheds being in just fair case.

ASK HIGHEST COURTS RULING
Railways Want Amount Of Damages
Due Shippers Settled.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has been asked BY transconti-
mental railroads to review a suit in
which they are parties, In order ito de-
termine for the commercial world the
proper measure of damages due ship
pers for excess freight rates"
The roads submitted that thero is a
conflict of decisions as 10 whether the
damages awarded should be the diff
ference between rates prescribed by
the interstate commerce commission as
reasonable and rates found to be ex-
cessive, or whether the actual loss suf-
fered by shippers should be allowed.
The suit was brought in the sixth
United States court of appeals by the
Darnell TaenZer Lumber Company and
others against the Southern Pacific and

REPAIRS TO POWER BOATS.
Two of Fleet Which Hauls Fish to
City Damaged.

Power boats employed in bringing
shad and herring from river points
have had bad luck recently and two of
the fleet of four boats are now out of
service for repairs. Recently the power
boat Mary S. Faunce. while on her way
down the river. broke her shaft and
was totally disabled. A new shaft, to
replace the broken one, was received q
day or two ago.
The power boat Elizabeth Wilson on
her last trip to this city broke her shaft
of Bryans point. and both wheel and
shaft went overheard. She had to be
towed to this city and yesterday was
hauled out on Regans railway to be
fitted with a new shaft and wheel. She
will be out of service for several days.
