Members of the Anti-Saloon League

instructing the public as to what pro-

I'VE hear on all sides of how pro-
hibition is bound to be the ruination OF

torney for the league. when in reality
it means the making of the city.
Instead of having bad effect upon
business" he said, "it is stimulation
to it. Sales of all kinds of merchan-
disc increase and the business OF the
banks steadily increases"
Reports from numerous cities that

Experiences of Seattle.

Mr. Shoemaker quoted Maj. c. =.
Blethen, editor of the Seattle Times. a
publication in the largest city that has
voted dry. This, in part, is what the
major said:
MY paper fought it's damnedest
against prohibition. We fought 1t on
economical grounds alone. We believed
that in a great seaport city, with
population of upward of 100000 people
prohibition would be destructive; 1t
would bring on economical disaster
I'VE have had month of it now.
I'VE already know that it is a great
benefit, morally and from an economi-
cal standpoint.
Money that went formerly over the
bar for whisky is now being spent for
clothing for the women and children
and in better food for the household.
Yes sir, we have found in Seattle
that it is better to buy shoes than
booze The families of wage earners in
Seattle are going to have more food
and clothes and everything else than
they had before"

HIGH STANDARD IS SET.


Only Twenty four Out Of 1872 AppIi-
cants Accepted by Marine Corps
Why so many men are rejected for
military service is partially explained
by the weekly report of Recruiting Off,
Ger Sergeant G. G. Wright. compiled
after the recent drivesfo recruits in
the United States marine corps.
Out Of 1872 applications for enlist
ment during the week only twenty
four were accepted. Others were re-
jected for the following causes. Under
age, thirty one: under weight, thirty:
defective vision. twenty-six: defective
hearing. four; dat feet. sixteen. Sixty.
one others were rejected as .'undesir.
able" through failure to meet the ex-
acting mental. moral and physical re-
quirements.
The standard Of the SOLDIERS of the
sea" Is very high. though certain mod
ifcations may be put into effect later
should 1t be necessary to follow the
precedent OF the countries that have
been draining their man power for
three years. Sergeant Wright says
that at present IL per cent Is about the
average OF acceptances throughout the
country.

Frank w. Leonard Tells Story
That VIII Interest Many
Workers

Frank W. Leonard il . we'll known
farmer of Hermon. Maine. When his
friends see Mr.. Leonard walking along
with an easy stride, they are surprised.
The explanation, however, IL in this story
that Mr.. Leonard tells.
II suffered from rheumatism and my
legs and feet would get numb, go to
Sleep as 1t is called, while was walking.
"Then they would swell up and it would
be impossible for me to walk any distance.
..Since have taken Taniac this rheuma-
tism has left me, and now can walk twice
as far a. could before trying this new
medicine.
II was led to try Tanlac from the many
recommendation / saw of it from people
who had suffered like did, and now that
have had my relief want to recommend
this new medicine also"
In commenting on Mr.. Leonard's case,
the Tanlac man said: "A great many
people believe they are suffering from
rheumatism when, as . matter OF fact, this
condition may be caused by weak blood,
poor circulation, or stomach trouble.
When food Is not properly digested but
clogs up the system with waste matter
that should be thrown Oh, the blood cir
culstion is weakened and the vital organs
are unable to do their work properly.
'sTanlac is designed to meet these cases
by toning up the stomach and creating
thorough digestion and assimilation that
builds strength through blood and
tissue"

Ellsworth by Z. O. Moore; in West
