 Pounds on Tanlac.

T am 70 years old and hadn't been able to strike lick of work for over IA years until l got to taking this Tan. lac medicine" said MT. H. w. Miller. at Jacobs Pharmacy, recently.
 Fourteen years ago I had a ter rible spell of typhoid fever, and since that time hadn't been able to use my right arm to do any good. It felt weak and numb and I had no strength in it, but I didn't get Tanlac for this trouble, as l had no idea I would ever be able to use it again.
 "I bought it for kidney trouble, rheumatism and pains in my back. We'll, it relieved me of these troubles alright, but strange to say, it helped my arm, too. Yes, sir, it has actually made my arm 90 much better that I can now do let of workAsomethin I hadn't been cble to dc in all these years. l don't know how to Account for it, but that's what actually hap pened, and all ny neighbors who have known me for years will tell yoh the same thing.
 Going back to my other trouble T suffered a great deal from my back and joints, ard was so nervous all the time I couldn't sleep much. Sometim es Iwould get so nervous and strung up that the least noise would almost make me jump cut of bed before I coust control msyself.
 My stomach was almost all out of shape, too, end I couldn't eat to do any good. Nothing seemed to taste right, and l got so finally would have vomiting spells after trying to eat. To tell you the truth, l was in a mighty bad fix and was getting weaker and weaker all the time. don't feel that way now, and after taking cnly 8 bottles, of tanlac, I have gained 1s pounds in weight, besides my stomach feels jYst like had a new one put in, and 4at and sleep just like school boy, The rheumatic pains are all gone and I am feeling better and stronger in every way.

WEATHER INTERRUPTS WIRE COMMUNICATION
Government Issues Cold Wave and
 Storm Warnings

Washington, February 4-Snow in the middle and northern Appalachian noun tains accompanied by winds that reached gale proportions in the east gulf states played havoc with telegraphic communi- cation in the south tonight. Wire com panies reported great difficulty in keep ing regular routes open and some south ern circuits were routed from here through Pittsburg, Chicago and St. Louis and thence to Atlanta, New Orleans and Memphis.
 Cold wave warnings were issued by the weather bureau tonight for the Atlantic states except south Florida and the southern portion of the east gulf states Storm warnings are displayed on the Atlantic coast from Jupiter to Eastport and on the gulf coast from Tampa to Bay St. Louis and on the Texas coast.
 Atlanta, February IA 60-mile gale that lasted for 10 minutes and for more than two hours blew at the rate of from 40 to 50 miles an hour accompanied by intense flashes of lightning. swept through this section late today, partially crippling wire communication and break ing windows and signs in the business district here. Flurries of snow came with the gale which drove pedestrians from the streets. The temperature dropped from a maximum of 50 degrees at D.. m. to g at 7:30 o'clock. and continued to fall. Unofficial readings at 9:30 after the weather bureau closed showed 125 de- grees.

MEANS FOR RAISING
 MORE REVENUESF FOR' WAR ARE DISCUSSED
President Wilson Tells Sena-' tor Simmons Nothing Has Occurred to Necessitate
 Additional Funds
ASSURES PRESIDENT
 CONGRESS IS READY
 TO VOTE WAR FUNDS

Washington, February 4.-Senator Sim mons, chairman of the Senate f1nanceI committee. vas summoned to the White House today and conferred with Presi- dent Wilson on means of raising suf- fcient revenues for possible hostilities with Germany.
 Senator Simmons assured the Presi- dent that Congress would move promptly whenever money Is needed and that there would be no opposition to any reason able requests from the government While no specific sum was mentioned at the conference Senator Simmons recalled that at the outbreak of the Spanish-1 American war bond issue of $500, 900 900 was authorized by Congress and direct appropriation was made.
 The President did not ask the1 senator to take any immediate steps and told him that nothing had occurred so far necessi- tating the raising of additional revenue.
 Senator Simmons pointed out that un,ler the pending special revenue bill the amount of certificates of indebtedness which can be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury would be increased to $300,- 0OO.o0 from $2Oo,OO0.00, now authorized.

GERMAN BOATS DAMAGED BY CREWS AT MANILA

Manila, February Alt is reported that virtually all the machinery and engines of the 2S German steamers lying in Phil ippine ports have been damaged by their crews. Seventeen of these vessels are in- termed at Manila, three at Cebu and three at Zanlboanga.
 The damage in some cases is said to have been done 36 hours before the first report before the break in the relations between the United States and Germany. The Filipino crews of the steamers here have been discharged. The crews of the steamers at Cebu have been excluded from the engine rooms
 The government has redoubled its pre- cautions concerning the ships, but there have been no seizures.
 The American squadron has returned to Manila from target practice and is pa trolling the bay.

 The collector asserted that the officers and crews of the German vessels had not been ordered ''forcibly detained" but that they were simply requested" to re- main on their ships. It was learned, how ever. that MT. Malone was cordially re- ceived" by the representatives of the two German steamship lines with whom he conferred concerning his orders from Washington.
 Shortly before the doubling of the guards on the steamship piers report was circulated to the effect that the crews of the German vessels tied up at Hoboken had put the engines of tho schips out of commission.

of the United States will tend to hold the entente allies faster together than ever before and deter talk of a separate peace. It seems to be accepted, too, that the rupture definitely removes from the United States as the worlds peace mak- CT, and from the German point of view brings forward King Alfonso of Spain. Curiously enough, the German hmtaim dor several months ago expressed the personal opinion that not President Will son. but the King of Spain, would be the man to bring peace to the world.
 Should it eyentuate that all other neu- trals accepted the Presidents suggestion that they sever diplomatic relations with Germany, the voice of peace would have to come from the Vatican.
 The entente embassies, confident that the United States cannot help being forced into the conflict, are discussing among themselves what part the United States would take in the war.
 Congress, stirred with patriotic fervor, Is making ready to stand behind the President in whatever he may do to up- hold the honor and dignity of the coun- try. The only dissenting notes come from a small pacifist group which several months ago supported the movement to warn Americans off armed ships. The President is confident that his action is approved by Congress and the country.

causes which might result in dec laration of war. Germany has de- stroyed the Housatonic, an American boat which invaded the danger zone. In the second place, Germany is re- taining as prisoners of war certain American sailors taken from British prize. Germany has declined up to the present moment to answer the Presidents peremptory demand that they be released.
 NAVY AND ARMY PREPARE
 So certain does 1t appear that the shadow of war cannot be dispelled that the government is busily engaged in beating its plowshares into swords. The army and navy is being prepared. Every doubled guards. Harbors and forts are the object of the greatest solicitude- Sanction is readily given to the calling out of the National Guard by the gov ernor of any state. Greatest precaution is taken lest the German ambassador, or the President of the United States, fall victim to the hatred of some fla natic.
 Congress also prepares. Tomorrow Representative Britten of Illinois will of- fer an amendment to the naval bill ap- propriating s11sO 900 for the construction of 1s battleships. There is reason ta believe that the government will very soon take over all private shipbuildins yards and plants adapted to the manu- facture of armor and munitions of war. NITRATE PLANT NEEDED
 Haste will be employed in locating and constructing a nitrate. an armor plate and projectile plant for which au- thorization has already been made In telegrams the number of which cannot even be estimated the President is given assurance today that the people of every state are solidly arrayed be- hind him.
 The chief executive attended church in the morning and in the gravity of his countenance gave evidence of the strain through which he isnpassing. Prayers that his guidance might be divine were said In the meantime all hope of ob- viating an extra session of Congress is abandoned.

LONDON SURPRISED THAT
 ANOTHER NOTE NOT SENT

London, February 4-LOndOn has
 been engaged today in watching
 the successive editions of the Sum
 day papers for news as to how
 Germany takes the severance of
 diplomatic relations with the Uni-
 ted States, but so far as any word
 from Berlin was concerned, the
 English people were disappointed.
 No dispatches appear to have been allowed to leave Berlin or Vienna ex- cept official communications from mill itary headquarters and brief mes- sage to the effect that press dispatches had been received in the German capi- tol announcing the rupture.
 There is no gainsaying the fact that the news of the rupture is warmly well comed by the British public. The Pres idents swift decision came as an ex- treme surprise to the people of Lon oon, who judged that another note to Berlin would precede any decisive &C., ton. And it Is general belief here that the Presidents action will be equally surprising to Berlin.
 PRAISE PRESIDENT WILSON
 Great tributes are paid to the Pres ident's dignified and restrained tone in addressing Congress and the opinion of the general public is that the rup- ture of relations means nothing less than war and there is much curiosity as to how hostilities will be pro- voked.
 In some quarters it is thought that the seizure of German auxiliary cruis- CTS in the United States may be re- garded by the Germans as warlike act, but whatever may prove casus belli, it is assumed that Germany must have fully judged and be prepared for any outcome.
 The greatest interest is being shown in all details of the naval strength of the United States which here is con sidered as great factor in the situa- tiOn

It is not impossible that the present situation will continue several days be- fore there are any evidences of whether Germany intends to halt her campaign of ruthlessness before President Wilson's s final demand for respect to American rights. or whether she will follow out her plan and take the consequences.

.CONSCR|P FOR
 UNITED STATES IS
 TAFT'S SUGGESTION
Former President Says That Every Man Between 19 and "A Ought to Serve
 One Year
BELIEVES SYSTEM SHOULD BE ADOPTED
 BY CONGRESS NOW

New York. February 4.-Conscrip- ton to build up an army for the coun- try's defense now that war IS near and for the future as well was advo- co+sa hare today by Former President William H. Taft, in an address on inc League to Enforce Peace before inc Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences.
 Stirred as the people are by enthus- iasm at the break with Germany. they would support a conscription meas ire. MT. Taft believed. not only to meet the situation. but for the future after the war shall end.
 conscription until now. he said, has been of doubtful expediency." because popular opposition might have halted all plans for reasonable preparedness "Now the war is on us. however" he continued. now the people see the ne- cessitv. why should we not take ad- vantage of this state of public nina and do what justice and real democra- cp require? Military duty is part or every citizens duty. In this country In the happy homes of prosperity l fear many of the people have lost the vital senses of their oohgatlons to the government.
 every little service of any kind has heen expected because of the great body of the people. Conscription IS needed to discipline our native young men and to teach them respect for authority. It is needed to teach our millions of newly recruited citizens loyalty. Stirred as they are by en- thusiasm. spurred as they are by inn mediate necessity. they would support Congress in enacting conscrlptlon law making provision, not only for the present, but for the future after the war shall end"
 A wholly volunteer system, he said takes the flower of the country youth anxious to sacrifice and leaves behind those who can only be dragged in by ultimate resort to law.
 why not equalize the burden at crce?' he asked. "Place 1t on all. Re- quire at least a years service with the colors from every man between 19 and 24. This need not interfere with cap able men under 40. Such conscrip- tion would furnish permanent trained force from the body of the entire peo- pie to supply an adequate defense whenever defense is necessary

WILL NOT SEIZE SHIPS

Washington, February 4.-Persistent reports of impending seizure of Ger man freight and passenger ships war bound in American ports led to an au- thorized statement by the government tonight that such a step was not even under consideration. It was pointed out that while port authorities would take necessary precautions to protect the government to seize these ships while in American harbors as visitors under their own flag, would be an ag- gression which might be construed as hostile to Germany.
 Collectors of customs have been in- structed by the treasury department to be particularly careful in the pres ent emergency and those at ports where German ships are laid up, have provided special guards about the ves- sells. To meet the problem resulting from members of the German crews deserting and coming ashore. the i'm migration bureau Is cooperating with the customs officers The sailors will be held pending decision as to their disposition.
 Preliminary reports to the war de- pertinent on the boarding of the four ships at Cristobal yesterday by canal zone authorities indicate that the ac- tion was made necessary by informa- tion that an attempt was about to be made to sink the ships off the entrance to the Panama canal. Department off, ficials say actual seizure of the ships was not contemplated.
