Swedish War Act Blamed.
There is no doubt that the situa-
ton between Great Britain and Swe-

sage of the Swedish war trade act
which prevents merchants and inn
porters from making personal agree

garding the passage OF goods through
the blockade. The Swedish Govern

After the two-day session of the nro-
longed April term of circuit court
here. Friday and Saturday. court was
adjourned by Judge Church until the

cisions in the Moore retrial motion or
the county tuition matter, stating that
these would probably be given out at

pretended AS soon as the minor

first in the 50-yard dash, Nesbitt win
ming third in the running broad jump.

deciding point for Aledo, Elmwood
having 1872 points to Is for Aledo up

old FOLKS FIND
A CHEEKY FRIEND
A Boon to Those Who Hare Started
Down the Hill of Life.

So many of US have been seeking
some really efficient remedy to give
to our old folks who are treading in
the long shadows of life. That rem
edy must contain the proper tonic
qualities to reyitalize sluggish organs
and the blood.
That something has been found. 1t
is Tanlac
1t is cowardly to let debility sap
away the life and comforts when it
| can be stayed. A condition of debility
never wears itself out. Instead, it
gradually grows more pronounced IN
| less proper measures to check it are
taken. 1t gathers force and nourishes
itself upon the tissues of the body. To
build up those tissues is to fight de-
blity.
Characteristic conditions of debility
both in old and young are nervous
ness, headaches, backaches, depres-
sion of spirits, loss of appetite, sleep
lessnes and a general dfor-noth-
ing feeling that comes from lack Of
energy,
Tanlac is designed to combat these
conditions in many ways. It is a
splendid tonic and tissue builder with
just the right amount Of proteids. 1t
quiets nerves and brings back restful
sleep, which is natures first aid to the
debiitated. 1t corrects stomach trou-
bles-and there, in nine case out OF
| ten, you have the seat of a nervous,
| facilitating ailment
With the body recharged with vigor,
! that detested, respondent feeling pass
es away so quickly you are astonished
and mighty regretful that you didn't
start out to fight it long before.
| Tanlac may now be obtained in Rock
| Island at A. J. Riess' pharmacy, where
| its great popularity is being better
shown every day.-lAdv)
