W. S. Sharp, prominent farmer
living near Lexington, in the famous
Blue Grass region of Kentucky,
said:
Il have suffered for many years
from stomach trouble and indiges-
ton. For the last five years at least
haven't had an appetite in the
mornings. l couldn't enjoy my
breakfast like other men because |
had little desire to eat, and if l did
eat anything it turned into a hard
lump in my stomach and l was sick
for the rest of the day.
Il had a fullness in my stomach
and the pains would almost set me
wild. l had very little life in me
and seemed to drag myself through
the day. | let my condition rock
along hoping that it would leave me,
or that | would find some kind of
medicine that would. do the work
When | came to town one day recent
ly l heard Mr.. Cooper lecture and
was actually surprised to hear him
describe my ailments.
81 made up my mind right then
and there to try Tanlac, and it was
a lucky thing that | did. | began
taking the medicine that night when
| got home and it helped me at once.
1t just seemed to touch the spot and
l began to eat Of mornings. l want
ed things for breakfast l never cared
for before. For instance, had some
fat bacon cooked up for me and rel
ished it and digested every particle
of it.
81 can now eat pretty nearly ev-
erything- something I haven't been
able to do in five years. Nothing
seems to hurt me now. My stomach
! trouble has gone entirely and l am
like other men. I can now stand
fatigue and exposure better than ev-
er before in my life.
Such are the reports that are be-
ing received daily from all parts OF
the country about Tanlac. The de-
mand everywhere is increasing by
leaps and bounds, and no matter
where you go you will find people
singing it's praises. 1t has slmpl!
taken the whole country by storm.

NAILS THE PAVED ROAD LIE.

Mr. Mcdonald, chief engineer in the
employ Of the state highway commits
sion has effectually nailed the lie thai
the reactionary and bridge combine
crowd has been circulating all over
Iowa as to paved roads The state en-
glneer told Governor Clarke's better
road commission yesterday that the
highway commission considered a
graveled road good enough for almost
all traffic conditions in Iowa except in
the vicinity of cities of $4,000 inhabit-
ants or upwards. Men formerly mem
bers Of court hours rings in the glor-
ious days Of blanket contracts with
some favored bridge builder to build
all bridges in the county without COM
petition in the bidding have been
spreading the alarm that the road
boosters were out to pave all the coun-
try roads and confiscate the farms.
Mr. Mcdonald says that his office will
recommend gravel for most Of the
roads and mas much as the state
highway commission must pass on all
contracts amounting to $1,000 or more
the paved road will consist mostly of
noise except where it is actually need
ed because of abnormalty severe traf-
fic
Mr.. Mcdonald. alse. suggested an
other idea of great importance. He
said that in all states in which country
roads were being paved the cities
served by the roads were paying not
less than so per cent Of the cost and
he advised that the Iowa law be so
changed as to cause city properly to
pay more than it does now toward the
cost Of paved roads within the imme-
date vicinity Of that city. The justi-
fication for this was given in the fact
that the city itself originates large
part Of the extra traffic which makes
the paved road necessary.
At Mason City and Clear Lake where
the boosters want the highway paved
between the two towns there is a
strong demand for a special road i'm
provement district which shall include
the two cities in the road levies for the
higher type Of road needed by traffic
between towns.
Ii Is unfortunate for Iowa that the
road problem should have been dragged
into politics for there is an opportunity
at the next session Of the legislature to
release Iowa from her mud blockade
and go forward along safe and sane
lines.

WARDEN SANDERS.
TBurlington iHawlSeye.1

Only eight wears have elapsed since
James C. Sanders took charge OF al
fairs at the big Iowa prison at Fort
Madison. He was man of ideas, ana
he believed that there could be much
advancement even in state prison
and that an institution of that
kind could be conducted along humans
tartan lines. He proceeded to inaugu-
rate number OF reforms. and the peo-
pie who did not believe In reforms
stood aghast. 1t would be amusing to-
day to turn back and read what the
opponents of all change had to say
about Warden Sanders and his plans
and ideas, and how the opponents pre-
dicted the absolute failure Of all sucR
experiments, and the early disappear
ance OF the warden, for whom they had
never good word.
Warden James c. Sanders has just
been reelected for another four-year-
term. 1t Is only eight years, since he
began his career as a penologist and
a prison reformer. He was looked
upon as wild-eyed fanatic and
dreamer in those ancient times, less
than eight years ago. Now he has be-
come an authority and there are few
prisons in the United States that have
nor made marked progress along tne
lines which he marked out eight years
ago, and there are states where the
movement has gone further, so that
Warden Sanders is looked upon rather
as a staid and conservative official to-
day. AS to the fact that he has made
a success of the management Of the
state prison. there seems to be not the
slightest doubt, and all who visit the
have words Of praise For
its management
