Gas forming on the stomach used

Mr.. Harrison is salesman living at

He is a veteran of the Spanish Am

Il tried different medicines suggest
ed by my friends but it seemed that
couldn't get rid of the gas on my

said. "Tanlac did it for me, though,
and I've come to the conclusion that
Tanlac is about the best stomach
medicine and tonic ever put on the
market.
my system seemed to be run down
all over before l took Tanlac I felt
tired and worn out a great deal Of
the time.
"Tanlac helped this. too. I sleep
good at night now and get up feeling
fine and ready for the days work.
II can eat anything l want and my
appetite is fine and I'm giving Tanlac

done for others. You can get Tanlac

CORN MARKET EASY;
WHEAT PRICE STEADY

CHICAGO, August s. Favorable
weather and a prospect Of further rains
eased down the corn market today.
Another bearish factor was general be-
lief that the government crop report
would indicate likelihood of largely
increased yield as compared with a
month ago. Smallness of receipts
here however together with contin.
uance of demand for corn available to
be used at once prevented any decided
set back in prices. Opening quota
lions. which ranged from the same as
yesterdays finish to nc lower with
December at $1.16M to $1.16A and
May at $1.14% to s1.13A. were follow
ed by moderate decline all around
and then something of rally.
Wheat sagged with corn. After
opening NC up at 1925 Sept, the mar
ket fell to Span and afterwards re-
covered to $2.25.
Continued big threshing returns
weakened oats. Besides, there were
bearish forecasts circulated as to the
probable estimat' of yield to be shown
by the government report.
Provisions took an upward swing
because Of announcement that England
had advanced her maximum price on
memat In addition, the hog market
here was strong, although near to the
topmost lever known.

INDIANA WHEAT

INCREASED half
Professor Christie Expects
Farmers to Plant 5000, 900
Acres.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8.-Informa-
ton gathered by Indiana Committees
on Food Production and Conservation
indicates more interest in winter
wheat sowing in Indiana than at any
other time in the history of the state.
The wheat now being thrashed is
bringing the farmer from 81 to $2.25 a
bushel, which he considers good
profit, and with minimum price OF
50 bushel guaranteed to him, the
farmers already have commenced fall
blowing for winter wheat.
Prof. G. l. Christie, state food di
rector, predicts that the acreage sown
may be as high as 100000. The nor
NAL wheat acreage in this state is
slightly more than 100000.
An organized campaign to stimulate
interest in wheat and give all possible
information concerning the crop has
been undertaken. The state leader OF
the wheat campaign committee has
made the following report on what has
been accomplished to date:
