CANNOT GIVE PRAISE
TOO Freely, She SAYS
Mrs Keller Declares She Feels BthE
Than In Years.
GAINED TWENTY POUNDS
After Eight Years of Suffering,
Greenviile Woman Says Tan
lac Soon Banished Troubles

Il improved in every way right
from the start after l began taking
Tanlac and l gained in weight from
one hundred and seventeen pounds
to one hundred and thirty-seven
pounds-a gain Of twenty pounds,
and soon was in such good health,
so far as my stomach was concerned,
that l could eat and enjoy anything
| wanted and digest it properly, too,
even if l had suffered about eight
gears with stomach trouble. "
The remarkable results given Mrs
Annie Keller, of ll6 Murphy St,
Greenville, by Tanlac were described
in her highly interesting statement,
of which the above paragraph is a
part. Continuing, Mrs Keller said:
Il suffered from indigestion and
stomach trouble particularly, which
| had had for maybe six or eight
years, anyway, it was long time,
and | failed to find any medicine
that would break up the trouble. l
suffered great deal with pains in
my stomach and chest after meals,
and also had a burning sensation, land
gas on my stomach alse troubled me
a lot.
Il had headaches so badly that l
could hardly endure them at times,
and my nerves were on edge. My ap-
petite had left me and | did not eat
enough hardly to keep one alive, land
l had to be very careful with what |
ate. Then l began taking Tanlac,
because had heard so much about
the good it was doing othersin Green
vile. The Tanlac made me better
almost from the start and improv-
ed rapidly in every way. l gained
FROM III to 1877 pounds, a gain of
20 pounds, and the Tanlac gave me
a grand appetite and l soon was
eating everything l wanted. The
headaches were broken up, and my
nerves strengthened.
MY strength was increased and
l soon was feeling fine and like a
different person. Tanlac is good
medicine, the best | eyer took, and |
cannot praise it too much or endorse
it too strongly for troubles like | had.
/ first took Tanlac about year ago,
taking about two bottles. | shall al
ways take Tanlac when l have trou-
bles that Tanlac is good for.
Il am always glad to praise Tan
lac, too, for it is the grandest medi-
cine I ever took, and feel stronger
and in better health than | have been
in years, and l am a number of
pounds heavier in weight. 1t is far
and away the oest medicine l ever
took for my troubles"

the nation will have raised over million nmen 1acJ "ncn can be more fully appreciated by looking back few years to the small army which was considered adequate for Ine defense of the United States in times of peace m I0oO the actual strength of the regular army was Zooo9 III
 89O was 27O95 in 1900 it 69l55 and in l9lO It was 77035 At the beginning of 1916 it had increased to D. Ol6 officers and 92 973 enlisted men, including 333 PIp- pine Scouts.
 But the year 1916 saw important developments. The
 Mexican raid on March g. 1916 caused Congress to au- tboze an increase of 2OOO0 while the National Defense act of June g. 1916, which was passed at time when there was no thought of the United States intervening in the war provided an aggregate war strengh-ncud- ing officers and special corps and services of all undS-oI 3Ol .375 But when the United States declared war III April 1917 over 18OOOO enlisted men were required to brine the army up to this figure. The National Guard before the war had about $500 officers and l23OOO en- listed men.
 At that time it was calculated that the United States could put into the field not than 8OOOO men at the utmost It follows, then that practically the whole army
 which will be ready to go the front in 1918 will be an en- trey new fighting force created since America entered the war.

WHISPERING OUR ARMED FORCES

One of the most notable advances in the preparations of the United States to take part in the European war came with the conclusion of the effort to bring the regu lar army up to war strength This was accomplished on August l917 when the 1S3S9S men required at the be- ginning of the recruiting campaign on April were at last enlisted More than four months were thus occupied in reaching the maximum war strength of 3OOOOO men, The average daily euistmens during the III days were
 3OO But despite its havngnoW reached its war strength volunteers for the regular army have since been comhg forward in considerable numbers so that on August zOn the total was more than 10000 in excess of the number originally required
 further addition to the nations military forces was made on Auqst 5h when the National Guard was draft ed into Federal service More than 3OOOOO men m the guard units were discharged from State service, and with enlisments which have since taken place the National Guard now numbers about 35OOOO Add this to the reg ular army and we find that the United States now has 65OOOO men under arms These figures do not include the 40 OOO men in officers training camps. Finally when the 687OOO men of the first conscrpt army are under arms the United States will have over L3OOOOO men in it's land forces If the training of these men proceeds without delav the United States ought to have its first
 million men on the firing line at the beginning of the sum- 1918 Early in October the first section of the Na- t:onaI Auuv-raised by draft will be in camp.

FILING UP HATRED

Germany has turned neutral nation into an enemy by her policy of diplomatic dshonor All her efforts to build up in the Argentine republic powerful German n- ees have come to naUght through her violation or the rules of honor among nations.
 The ant-Geman riots at Buenos Aires have a deep significance While they are the strongly emotional out bursts of warm-booded Latin race they lay the foun- dation for permanent arrangement The present gen. eration of Argentine citizens is not likely to forget Ger manys treachery The university students who headed the mobs-the boys of today-wiI be leaders tomorrow
 The Prussianized government cannot explain away
 its crime and it cannot defend on the ground o1 Srae gicaI necessity Berlin may decide that it is to her ad- vantage to apologize and to make show of punshng her dishonorabe minister Such action may prevent decIa- ration of war by Argentina but the rreparabe damage so far as it relates to international trade and to Ger mans retaining her foothod in South America, has been done Argentina in common with the entente allies, will refuse to accept at its face value any pledge that the Ger man government is inclined to make for the future.
 Gemany's treacherous conduct toward the Argen- tine republic will affect all of South America and Gen. traI America as we'll It will put the brake on GermanyS movement to coonize the southern half of the Western hemisphere After the war German influence will not be so powerful as it was before the war; and her trade will diminish National sentiment goes long way to- ward establishing or disturbing trade relations It will he long time before South America forgets that the Ger man government proposed to smash Argentine ships and murder the crews in such way that the awful crime against friendly nation would never be disclosed.

President Wilson has repeatedly said that it is
none of our business who the Mexicans choose
for a ruler nor how they choose him. He has al
most as repeatedly made it his business by tell
ing the Mexicans who they shall not have and BY
recognizing favorite from among the rival
bandits who have aspired to rule in that country.
1t is corollary of the presidents declarations.
if not of his policy, that it is none of our business
how any recognized ruler in Mexico conducts
himself. Yet a situation is arising wherein
every American who pays taxes is entitled to
feel that it is very much his business-this con-
dition of affairs in Mexico. The cost of main
tanning the troops on the Mexican border is
mounting at an alarming rate, and a bond issue
is proposed TO pay for il. This would bind pos
terity to an annual expense for what is admit
tedly a mere temporary expedient. II would be
far better to spend little more money, clean up
Mexico and free the future of any menace from
that quarter than to drag on with policy 50
unproductive of results and so fertile in expense.

EVERY COMMUNITY SHOULD THINK OF
THE BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED.

Recently large corporation in a city adver
tised that II would have liked TO put on an ex-
hibition TO last a week. but could not do so be-
cause the city did not possess place of suffi-
cient size for a community public gathering
That reminds US that every town should have
large place for gatherings. In the big cities they
are called coliseums. and are what their names
imply. They date from the Roman era, when
huge places for public games were built in every
considerable town. In this respect the Romans
exercised better considerations for the needs of
municipalities than IL the case as n rule, in our
modern civilization. In our country II is the ex-
ception to the rule for municipality to have
large meeting place" The best we have in
small eenters is an opera house" or town hall,
which is in most cases too small for general COM
munity gatherings.
Eastern Utah cities would do well to consider
this matter for the future The necessity Of
large places for public gatherings is absolute.
And there Is no better method, in the opinion of
The Sun than TO build schoolhouses and high
schools in the future with this object in view.
No public school should ever be built in the fu-
ture without large hail. and the central school
or high school should have hall large enough,
and accessible enough, for all public gatherings.
America Is just beginning to learn things In
connection with ideal community life. There
was time when II was thought that the pro-
vision for large gathering places was exclusively
a private affair. with the result that when II
did not pay" there was no such building OF
course. such an institution does not 'pay"-in
dollars and cents-but IL pays handsomely in
community wellbeing And that Is absolutely
the only point worth considering in connection
with such place.
In Price and the surrounding communities of
Eastern Utah there are half dozen gatherings
year-or ought 10 be-that are Of such COM
munity nature that can only be accommodated
in municipal hall large enough to accommodate
larger throngs than any now available.

WHAT We DO UNTO THE LEAST OF
THESE. We DO UNTO ME-"

The churches of Eastern Utah, small though
some of them may be, stand for something sub
stantial in civilization and culture. Did you
ever hear of any movement for the betterment
of the race, or for the aid of mankind anywhere,
that did not receive strong support from our
churches? Neither did we. Take for instance,
the appeals recently sent out for the relief of
Armenans and Syrians. The committee in New
York City having the matter in charge, appealed
TO the nation through the churches. The matter
was brought to the vivid attention of local people
matter from the pulpit and in many of the
churches literature and envelopes for gifts to
this cause of humanity we're distributed.
The response in America came almost excu-
sively through the churches. A little here and
there brought more than two millions of dollars
to the committee in short order. And every dol
lar means food and raiment to starving men,
women and children And this is as il should be.
The Christ said eloquently, What we do unto
the least of these, we do unto me-" And the
churches of Eastern Utah should pride them
selves, along with those in the other towns and
cities Of the nation, on the fact that when
great movement for the good Of mankind is in
progress, the appeal TO the hearts Of men and
women is invariably made through them.
There are scores OF institutions that have lit
tie regard for appeals that make for the brother
hood Of man or the tightening of the loads that
bear down upon humanity. But not so the
churches. May they prosper and grow in good
works continually.
