81 suffered from a very weak stom-
ach." said Mrs. A. S. Hill of III State
street, Bangor. you know what a
weak stomach is, suppose.
Yes" replied the Tanlac Man. "A
weak stomach is not only very dis
agreeable and injurious, but unless
strengthened may develop into some
thing serious"
But it is no longer weak" Mrs. Hill
continued. Your Tanlac has fixed it
up in better shape than it has been in
some time. Things are altogether
different than they were a short time
ago, and 1 am here to tell you just
what your wonderful Tanlac did for
me-"
These are the stories we like to
hear" the Tanlac Man continued. I'VE
know that the people Of Maine will not
publicly endorse a medicine or any
other product unless they know full
we'll that this medicine should be en-
dorsed."
LAS I said in the beginning" Mrs
Hill said, my stomach was in a very
weak condition. I could not retain
any food, my appetite was very poor
and I had long spells Of sour, deathly
sickness. l vomited almost continual
ly after eating and / felt miserable
both day and night. My nights were
restless and l walked up in the morn
ing feeling worse than when l went to
bed the night before.
L saw where people knew were en-
dorsing Tanlac and knew they would
not do this unless Tanlac was worthy
OF their praise, so I decided to take IT,
L noticed good results at once and
have not vomited once since 1 started
to take Tanlac. My appetite is i'm
proving, my stomach is getting much
stronger and I am now able to eat
regular meals for the first time in
number Of months.
Il feel much better throughout the
day and when night time comes I am
able to sleep eight or nine hours and
get up in the morning feeling refreshed.
Ianlac is certainly great medicine
and / take pleasure in recommending
1t to all nervous. weak, run down men
and women"

GREAT CENTRAL
co.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, June q
(Correspondence).- More than 3Oo0
persons are now employed by the Cen
tral purchasing Company which has q
practical monopoly Of Germany's food
imports, while its Berlin offices have
grown until they occupy a score of
buildings and houses.
The import monopoly of the company
began with a few articles like butter.
grain. flour and greats. and gradually
has been extended by the German gov
eminent to malt. fodder, peas and
beans, potatoes. fruits, vegetables. nuts,
sugar and sugar-beet, cocoa, chocolate.
coffee. tea. chicory. preserved milk pro-
ducts, cheese. eggs. cattle. meat, suet,
oil. fats, margarine, fish and spirits.
The company buys up the available
goods in neutral countries on Ger
nlany's borders. and imports them. The
actual distribution is in the hands of
ether organizations like the War Food
Bureau.
While having done away with all the
disadvantages, from Germany's point
OF view. Of innumerable private dealers
bidding against each other and thereby
initiating prices, the directors of the
Central Purchasing Company claim to
have surpassed the quantities Of food
imported under the previous free trade
system. This state socialistic offspring

chants have been hard hit by the elm

Central purchasing company. but the
results achieved by this GENERALIZATION
have been such that its powers are
rather being extended than restricted.

RESOLUTIONS ON
HIGHWAY WORK

Inc state Highway Commission
Thursday received copy of the reso-
lutions which were adopted at a meet
ing of representative men identified
with highway improvement which was
recently held at New York as bearing
on the highway situation throughout
the country. The resolutions are as
follows:
Whereas. the great increase in cost
OF building and maintaining roads and
streets makes 1T necessary now to
bring home to the public and to the
representatives of the public, on whom
devolves the road and street work of
the country, the value Of the country's
highways both for commercial and for
military purposes, therefore,
Be 1t Resolved: That it is the sense
of this meeting that the highway de-
partments of the several states should
cooperate with the War Department of
the United States in determining the
highways of each state that are impor-
tant from a military standpoint and
also the requirements which such high
ways should meet, and
Be 1t Further Resolved: That it is
the sense of this meeting that each
state highway department should at
once prepare a report on the highways
in the state that are essential for the
transportation of agricultural and in
dustrial products, and
Be 1t Further Resolved: That it is
the sense of this meeting that the gov
ernor OF each state should file with the
proper committee of the Advisory
Council on National Defence, or with
any body that may succeed to the
powers and duties now vested in the
said Council, a memorial requesting
that the railroads be not permitted to
place an embargo upon the transporta-
ton of materials, machinery or equip
ment for use in the construction of
roads Of military value or required for
the transportation of food stuffs and
other necessities, but that this class of
freight be put on the preferred list
