LABOR MAN WANTS
 TO CONSCRIPT. WEALTH

LONDON: William Crawford An derson, Labor member of parliament for Sheffield, has made public a bill that he purposes to introduce in the House of Commons at the earliest possible moment for the conscription of wealth. The bill is in the nature of a reply to Premier .Asquith's miii- tary compulsion bill of which MT. An derson is a bitter opponent.
 The Anderson bill provides for the representation of all unearned income for the period of the war, including rents, interests, dividends, royalties and annuities. All such payments, under the bill, would be taken over by a government trustee, who would make moderate allowances for the maintenance of the persons from whom the funds are taken.

MYSTERY MAKES
1ANLAC SECURE
Imitation Is Set at Defiance by the
Famous Master Medicine.

Tanlac! There is magic in this
household word-a magic made by sue
cess unprecedented and fame based
very solidly on its accomplishments in
more than one million homes.
The ingredients for Tanlac are gath
world From the far north woods to
Argentina, below the equator; in Rus
sian Asia, the Alps, Pyrennes, on the
sunny shores Of Italy, from Brazil,
Sumatra, Peru. the West Indies, and
the slopes of our own .timber-topped
Rock Mountains, come the roots, herbs,
barks and even flowers that, under the
direction of Herr Joseph Won Trim
bach, the noted German chemist, are
compounded into Tanlac.
There can be no successful imitation
Of Tanlac. 1t is compounded as skill
fully and as mysteriously as nature
distills the famed mineral waters Of
Europe.
Tanlac, now universally known as
the Master Medicine, is proving inval-
liable against ailments Of the stomach,
liver and kidneys, and catarrhal af-
fections of the mucous membranes,
which. when neglected, so often affect
the vital organs themselves. AS a gen.
eral tonic for half sick rundown men
and women, it builds up the tissues,
creates keen appetite, promotes di-
gestion, vitalizes the blood and brings
back color to the cheeks and sparkle
to the eyes.
Tanlac may now be obtained in Rock
Island at Riess' Drug Store, where it
is explained daily.-(Advl

means of its soft, creamy lather. But
it has also the double purpose of
promoting hair growth and prevent

ITS that or nothing" pronounced
Gideon Lane, in his set, austere way.
"And them" inquired Walter
Brooks anxiously.

you are as loyal and helpful as you
have been, whom would l welcome
more gladly than you as son-in-
Iaw?"
''And in the meantime?"
Not word about this subject to
Paula. She is only -16 and will not
have her young head filled with non
sense. When she is 18 her mind is
my mind. Be content. Earn your
happiness"
That settled it, and this Walter
Brooks fully realized. The love of
his life had come into his experience
and around it centered all his waking
thoughts.
Old Gideon Lane had a comforta-
BILE farm home. There were, besides,
two smaller holdings. They had be-
longed to neighbors, and he had
bought them out. He had leased the
North farm, as it was called, to a
shiftless fellow with a large family,
who had let it run into the ground
so far as crops and upkeep were con-
cerned. He had let the house burn
down from sheer carelessness, and
had left his donor with an 80-acre
patch good for pasturage only.
The South farm Walter had accept
ed on the same profit-sharing basis.
1t, too, was 80 acres in extent and
he made it his pride and gave it his
constant attention. There was a ten
tative agreement with its owner that
he could purchase it at the end of
four years, if he desired. He had
saved up a few hundred dollars, as
