In fact, she suffer- ed so long and so much that I feel it my duty to let everyone know what this medicine has done for her. For such that she had to remain in bed and as a last resort, decided to let her try Tanlac.
 T am a conservative man and have always been skeptical regarding the use of proprietary medicinees, but this case has certainly proven an bdddddde Snee nee exception. I am now firmly con- vinced that Tanlac is a medicine of great power and extraordinary merit. I do not think I have ever seen any thing give such promp tresults. Mrs. Sykees had taken only two-thirds of a bottle of this medicine when we began to notice a marked improve ment in her condition. In less than a week from the time she began talk ing it she was able to sit up and is today able to help with the house hold duties Before she began talk ing Tanlac she had fearful pains in her side, and suffered constantly from sour stomach and indigestion and was intensely nervous. These distressing symptoms, I am thank full to say, have entirely disappear ed, her appetite has returned and she seems to relish everything she

STARS AND STRIPES
 CHEERED IN PARIS

Paris.-The Stars and Stripes still stir up big demonstrations of enthusiasm in the French cap tai, even though months have elapsed since the United States entered the war.
 The grand finale at the Folies Bergere the other night brought out the flags and national an- thems of the allied nations a Ia George Conan. The British colors and "God Save the King" brought a demonstration and a large number in the audience rose to their feet. The Italian, Belgian, Roumanian, Serbian, Russian and Portuguese flags all brought applause.
 Uncle Sam had the big place in the tableaux. When a pretty girl strode on the stage waving the Stars and Stripes and the or chestra swung into 1.-The Star Spangled Banner" the house went mad. A Canadian soldier proposed three cheers for the Tanks. Uncle Sam received an ovation that would have glad dened the hearts of Americans everywhere.

MISTAKE FISH FOR U-BOATS
Submarine chasers Spend Much of Their Time Chasing After
 BIackfsh.

Cleveland, CA great percentage of the U-boats sighted by merchant ships going through the submarine zone are just healthy, deep-sea-going blackfish on their way to dinner en- agreements.
 That Is why all submarine chasers spend much of their time chasing fish mistaken for submarines.
 Lieut.. Howard Vickery, home on fur tough, expressed that opinion. And Vickery ought to know, for his chaser cruised 23,OO0 miles after the German sea terrors. His ship is in dry dock now and he has few days furlOugh.
 "The U-boats do not bother the American sailors half as much as the mines," he said.
 "Many torpedoed ships are lost" he continued, "when they might have been saved, because their slippers steam frantica11y ahead after being hit until their own speed causes the water to rush in so fast that all the air-tight bulkheads are caved in."

Minister of the Gospel Thinks 1t His
 Duty to Make Statement About Wonderful Change.
 It is seldom, indeed, that men of prominence, especially ministers of the gospel, willingly express their in- debtedness publicly to a proprietary medicine. However, when medi- cine obtains that singular purity and efficiency that is shown by the uni form preparation, Tanlac state ments from our best citizens are to be considered thoroughly commen- surate with the good that is actually being accomplished.
 Rev. A. H. Sykes, pastor of the Watkins Park Presbyterian church, Nashville, Tenn, prominent not only as a minister of the gospel, but pop ular as a man and citizen who has been true to his friends and every trust ever reposed in him, said re- gently:
 For the past ten months, Mrs. Sykes has been in very delicate health, suffering from bad stomach and kidney troubles. which gradually developed into a general nervous breakdown. At times her condi-

YOU MUST DO
 SOMETHING

If you are an American Citizen you must do something to help win this war You cannot stand idly and sel, fshly looking on while your neigh bors are giving their lives.
 { You realize all this, but perhaps you are not clear as to exactly what you can do to help.
 If you own farmland, see that it is used for the purpose God intended tt-for the raising of crops. You will be providing food for our armies and making profits for yourself.
 If you manufacture goods, econo- mize in time, labor, and material, in your factory or shop. Work harder and more efficiently. Above all, stop waste. Again, see that you secure the business of your home town in your line of goods. This leaves the Eastern Manufacturer free to maks goods for the army, and for our al Hes, and cuts out needless transpor- tation expenses. Incidentally, all these things will bring you greater profit.
 If you are . clerk in an office or store, work harder-it will bring , you more pay. Cut out some foolish sxtravasanos. and SO save money. If you are . housewife, follow out Mr. Hoover's advice. Again, teach your children thrift. and the value of money. The task will repay you maay times over h satisfastion and actual wealth.
 What shan you de with the money you save by this means? Why, loan 1t to the United States Government It '4Ta interest. sB Buy ,Lfbsrty Bond Tho banks have some Bonds on hand right now, and there will he another Liberty Loan Issue early next year

ABOUT THOSE CHILDREN
 OF YOURS

One word to the women of America who live peaceful lives in happy homes.
 Let us draw a picture for you of a scene at Evian, in France. Six hun dred and eighty Belgian children are leaving train-thin, sickly, from four to twelve years of age-children of men who refused to work for the Ger mans and of mothers who let their children go rather than to let them starve. They are pouring off the train, little ones clinging to the older ones. girls all crying, boys trying to cheer. They have come all the long way alone. On the platform are the Red Cross workers to meet them. Those children who can walk at all march along, crying, Meat, meat, we are going toi have meat" Their little claw-likeI hands are significant.
 Two such trains pull into EvianI every day. Another picture-it appeared in theI illustrated papers recently. It showed an English widow with her eight chill dren and the wording underneath ran as follows: eff the mother recovers from her injuries she will have six less mouths to feed-a bomb smashed their poor little home to pieces"
 Do you care to see a picture of Italian life where women and children are marched in front of the German army in order that the Italian soldiers may kill them if they fire?
 Would you care to think of such scenes as are described in these words:-"Ali along the Piave River Gin Itaiy) last night we could hear the screams of women in the hands of the nsrmans?"
 + Women of America. it is to save your children. from such fate that you are asked to economise and save and loan to the government all the money you can.
 We hope our brave boys and ouI allies will prevent the Germans from ever reaching our shores, but even so don't you want to help fight for the
 poor children of Belgium, France and ! Italy. Does not your mothers hear' cry out to you to do your share. l Start saving now, and tell your hus
 band to start saving now for the nex Liberty Loan.

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
 TO DO WITH HIS MONEY

A farmer came to one of the biggest business men in the Southwest last week and said: 'I have done pretty we'll this season. I've $5OO.0o that | can spare. It's earning me nothing in the bank. You know something about Investments, tell me what to do with. it." s,,s. s;az 7. ..ssss :sas 4sesss.sss
 Well" said the big fellow, You can put your money into Railroad Stocks, you can buy Standard Commercial Stocks, or you can take long chances and buy stock in some Gold Mine which may or may not make you a Millionaire. Do you know anything about stocks. shares, or investments generally ' ':a'r ss:::1-*i s:.'.cf'te '-''
 Not thing" '1'A1--
 Well, what is your first require. ment in an investment, do you want high interest, or absolute safety"
 Absolute safety chances for me. Why I wouldn't sleep nights and my wife would never quit worrying if took chances"
 Well" was the reply, q can advise you to buy some good Commercial Stock but I want to warn you that owing to trade conditions being upset Of course the Stock might be low just when you wanted to sell. Would you mind that?"
 "Yes, I believe I would. Of course. I know all Stocks go up and down a little in price, but I must have some
  cause I might want my money any time, and I can't afford to lose 5% to 10% of my investment just for the sake of securing 58o to 10% interest"
 "So you want something that is so safe 1t will not cause you one mo- ment's worry, you want something that you can purchase, hold, and feel safe about without your having to learn anything about stocks, shares, or mar ket prices"
 That's 1t, exactly" 2
 The business man had known risht along what investment this man need ed, but he wanted the farmer to sell himself first. Well" he said with smile, Whats the matter with invest ing with the United States Govern ment? You won't have to sit up nights wondering whether they arc going to . fail. You don't have to know one thing about stocks, shares or markets, in , order to get in on the proposition, and your little 4% comes around twice i rear regularly"
 "oh, you mean buy 6 Liberty Bond?"
 "Yes, why not?" !
 well. guess can't do better" !
 Better, why, man. you can't dc as we'll. It's the only kind of investment for fellow like yourself who knows Ill about farming and nothing about finance. Your bond is the best col ateral in the world, you can always yell it if you have to, and believe me there is feeling of satisfaction about owning one of those bonds that you can't buy with any other security. The bond is Uncle Sam's certificate hat you are an American in good standing and you feel that you are helping our boys in the great fight. Look at it any way you like, it's the inest investment in the world"

MAKES FOOD PLANS
France Is Arranging for Supplies
 for 1918.
All Shipping VIII Be Used for Neeessi- ties-Need 122, 2,ooo,o 900 Bushels
 of Wheat.

Paris.-The purchase abroad and transportation of about 122,O00,OOO bushels of wheat and other cereals is one of the problems of France for the campaign of 1918. Four hundred thou sand tons of shipping month will be required for the importation of SUD- plies the country must get on the out side.
 The realization of this problem will be partly accomplished through the unified allies purchasing board, elimi- mating more and more private trade with the country; the development of ministerial department of supply will eliminate commissary department buy CTS, while increasing stringent meas ures regarding shipping will increase the tonnage available for this object. Successive decrees now have com pelled every shipowner to obtain navigation license prescribing the par ticular route for each vessel and the categories of merchandise destined for the government that 1t would be re- uuired to take on board on each voy- age, and also giving the secretary of state for merchant marine powers to limit transportation charges on prod ucts essential to the life of the coun- try.
 Henceforth all tonnage under the French flag will be systematically di' vided between the different categories of indispensable products. in order to assure the utmost regularity of supply Certain voyages which were of no great utility to France have been stop. ped, and the transportation of conee and other products of secondary utii' ity to a nation at war have been sus. pended. Orders have been given that cotton and tobacco must be bought from the nearest market.
 Navigation between France and the colony of Madagascar will be greatly reduced, and the French lines to Cuba Argentina, Brazil and New Orleans VII be reduced as regards the number o1 ships or sailings suspended alto getber.
 As a result of these measures 1SO.OO( tons of additional shipping have beer placed at the disposition of the pro visioning department, and the tendenc! is more and more toward the tntens' compression of the navigation servic' so as to make every ton of burdel count for the utmost.

THE FARMERS WAR

Let us think for while how the War concerns the farmer.
 We went to war with Germany partly because the rulers of that country refused to let us send to Europe our ships laden with grain and cotton. They sunk the ships and cruelty murdered our sailors. Now suppose we allowed them to stop all our shipping, where would you be? None of your goods would be sold In foreign countries, with the result that you would get nothing like the prices which you get today. This war Is being waged partly that you may obtain fair prices for your goods.
 What is going 70 happen if we lose this war? Prices of farm pro duce will drop; the Germans will impose taxation upon you which will cripple you for the next twenty years. Worse than that, if the Ger mans get over here, they will treat you in just the same way as they have the farmers of France, Belgium and Italy. In these sections farm houses have been shot to pieces crops wasted and burned; even fruit trees chopped down, the cattle stol en, the men sent into slavery to work for German masters, their wo mon ill-treated in ways that cannot be talked of in print, their little chil dren have had their hands chopped off in order that they may never light or do any more useful work again.
 You may say such things will no! happen here" They said thIs iu France, in Belgium and in Italy. Sucn as you are alive, unless we smash the Germans 50 utterly that they are unable to reach this country. The German fleet and the German army will take just one week te get here If we are beaten They have made up their minds that America shall pay.
 forward now and say, "Thie war does not concern me-"
 You have money that you de not aeed at present. Loan. it te the gov. brnneat at good interest; when you want tho money back again, you can borrow on your bond, or sell 1t. Uncle Sam will take care of your money until you need it and pay you interest on 1t.
 Go and buy a Liberty Bond tomor. TOW.
 The Banhs have some Bonds on land. They are holding them for people like yourself
 Don't be a stacker, and don't fool yourself with the idea that you are ;oo far away from the war for it to iurt you. Remember 1914, when the Germans upset the worlds shipping, md you took what you could get for ,our products.
 Think of the twenty years starva, ion prices ahead of you, in case we Ire beaten.
 This is your war, and if you won't get in it you deserve to lose your American Citizenship.
 Call in at the bank tomorrow, and ak it over.
