WOMAN CAN EAT
ANYTHING NOW:
GAINS WEIGHT
Says Food Didn't Agree with
Her Before Tanlac Fixed
Up Stomach.

Miss Minnie Silver Of Fortville,
Ind. said that her stomach was so out
Of order until recently that she had
almost no appetite at all and ate very
little. She lost weight rapidly. Then
she took Tanlac. She's able to eat
about anything she wants now and
weighs more than for long time.
1T got so finally that / never felt
hungry" Miss Silver said. THE food
I did eat didn't agree with me and
didn't seem to do me any good at all.
Gas formed on my stomach after
meals and made me feel bloated and
stuffed up.
II was nervous, too, and couldn't
sleep we'll nights. / was all tired out
in mornings and never felt like going
TO work. Then during the day often
had dull headaches and sometimes
got dizzy when / would stoop over
and raise up again.
Father was taking Tanlac about
that time and 1t was helping him so
much that l tried it. 1t has done me
as much good as it did father.
YES, sir, eat about anything l
want now and l weigh more than l
have for long time. Tanlac surely
is a good tonic and / recommend 1t"
Tanlac has built up thousands OF
rundown men and women and 1t will
build up your system and make you
feel good again just like 1t mas the
others. If you are not feeling right
get Tanlac today at any of Th1stleth-
waite's Drug Stores.-Adv.

new YORK ClTY'S
QUOTA IS RAISED

NEW YORK, Aug. 1. - Announce
ment was made today that the quota
of the men to be drawn from New
York city for the new army. would be
slightly raised, while upstate, the per
centage of increase to each division
will be even greater. Roscoe S. Con-
king, deputy attorney general repre-
senting the adjutant general at Al
tany, said that the new order Will
mean no delay in the working Of the
various boards. He explained that the
calling for additional men had been
necessary to supply the New York
quota because the officers OF the ma
tlonal guard and those in charge OF
the regular recruiting stations had
been too careful lin reporting the
number of recruits of each district"
Mr. Conkling said he supposed this
condition had been brought about be
cause some one boosted" the recruit
ing figures, adding that the added
quota for New York city would prob
ably be not over two to district al
though he understood this number
would be slightly larger up state.

something to eat. They are also the
most restless Of the animals and the
most popular. They're always doing
something entertaining.
The three eagles,-two bald eagles,
and big gray one caught just east
OF the park two years ago, seem the
least reconciled to confinement.
Looks Like a Hen.
The gray eagle, hunched up on his
perch with his eyes closed, looks much
like a big hen, until the observer
makes a motion. No hen about him
then! A six-inch expanse OF red mouth
opens, and he utters savage threats.
The young coyotes are not reconcil-
ed to confinement either There are
deep scratches either end of their
cage where they have run restlssly up
and down, and jumped at the wood
The older ones are more used to 1t.
But on moonlit nights, when a deep
toned freight engine whistles over in
rhe Pennsylvania yards, it fairly sets
the coyotes crazy, and they howl all
night.
There are lots Of other interesting
people out at the Glen. There's the
ocelot, or leopard-cat, which looks like
a fat tabby-cat magnified about four
times. With his brilliant coat of black
and white, the ocelot is a handsome
creature. He's not like a tabby In
disposition, however. He's quicker
than any cat when he wants to be,
and not very sociable.
Then there is the peacock, who will
stand for hours and spread his tail to
hear the crowds gasp and call him
beautiful, and there are the four deer
and the muscovy ducks, and the pig.
cons, and the pole-cat. The pole-cat
has had his scentbag removed, but
many people. especially girls, still
hold their noses when they pass.
There are two coons that spend most
of their time sleeping, and the red
fox. Many people who come out to
the park have never seen a fox until
they see this one, says Ford, common
rs foxes are in Indiana and Ohio.

Wichita" the big coyote out at
Glen Miller park, is nourshing a

Wichita" it appears, went to sleep
some time ago with his tail carelessly
stretched under the partition between
his cage and that Of the coyotes next

The three bears, Rex" "Rexall' and
Nellie" are more sociable people
They have great time splashing in
the pool these hot days, and batting
each other good-naturedly around like
big kids. They've never been known
to quarrel, says Ford, even when one
was handled little severely.
These Don't Hibernate.
Contrary to the popular notion, OF
contrary to the usual run Of bears
these don't hibernate in the winter
They're just as lively in December as
in July, and they don't live by sucking

They stay awake, too, in the winter

Watching the alligators as they lie

On The Boards

Geo. NJ Cohan's latest play, Seven
Keys to Baldpate," which Is to be pre-
scented here at Murray all week Is
melodrama Intentionally gone mad to
the point of side-splitting burlesque
under the gravest Of masks that re-
main unified until just before the last
curtain falls. George NJ. Cohan, that
astonishingly versatile and alwsy
supremely self-confident incarnation
OF Broadway In its most staggering
mood, made this play from the Earl
Derr Bigger's novel of the same name.

fighting has broken out in the streets
here between the Sze-Chuen and Yum

to the friction between the two parties

This same place did not freeze over
last year until very late in the win

there being such a large strip of open
water in mid winter. 1t would seem
that with such a large territory clear
