SIMPLY "WILD"
FOR BREAKFAST!
Newberry Man Gets Up For Break
fast With Voracious Appetite
And Eats Everything

Previous to taking Tanlac, Fred
Welch, $40 Clark street, Newberry,
had no appetite at any time of the
day for anything. Now he is hungry
early in the morning and after par
taking of a good substantial break
fast he is able to follow 1T up
throughout the day with two good
square meals. Mr.. Welch says:
For a long time L suffered from
stomach trouble, catarrh constipa-
ton and a general rundown co.,
dition. / also had an attack of
grippe and felt miserable.
Il never had an appetite and I
would walk from the table more
dissatisfied than when / sat down.
Although l had plenty to eat and
dainty morsels that would tempt
the appetite of other persons, still
1 simply had to force a certain
amount into my stomach to keep
alive and never enjoyed what ate.
II had catarrh in the head for
many years and with every change
in the weather 1 would contract a
heavy cold that annoyed me greatly.
I coughed phlegm. and mucus and
I lay awake most of the time during
the night.
when I awoke in the morning I
felt miserable and had no appetite
1 would begin the day with a dull,
sickening feeling and usually con-
tinued that way until night time.
Now all that is changed! When
[ get UP in the morning now / am
wild with hunger. I enjoy my meals
immensely and it seems to add hap
piness to my life.
almost simultaneously all my all
ments disappeared. With my appe-
tite restored I feel like a new man
and when 1 go to bed get a good
sound nights sleep and / awake
much refreshed in the morning.
am pleased to recommend Tanlac
and as far as I am personally con-
cerned I would not be without it,"

tonic, is now being introduced here

the spring campaign of 1918 is likely
to begin.
While it is not known here what
announcements may have been made
from Washington. the arrival of u
large section of American field ar
tillery in France has been kept ii
carefully guarded secret so far as
Europe Is concerned. The announce
ment is permitted now only after the
officers and men have progressed far
in their intensive training under gen.
eral supervision of the most expert
artillerists of France.
Instructors AmericaniZed
There are no longer any French
officers or poilus actually serving at
the guns, the crews having been
Americanized throughout. At the
observation posts and in the schools
of instruction French officers sit now
only in an advisory capacity.
Through various reports received
from trained observers, attaches and
other confidential sources during the
last three years. the American ar
tillery officers of the regular army
have been enabled to keep in fairly
close touch with all the gunnery de-
velopment in the world war-suf-

TWO BILLION
BY TAXATION
Increase of Income Tax One
Of Important Means-.-To
Lower Tax Exemptions.

Washington, April 16.-Adminis-
tration suggestions as to possible new
sources of taxation through which to
raise approximately one-half of the
estimated cost of the first year of the
war, or 81, 1907, 25O,OOU, were submit
ted by Sec. McAdoo to the senate f.
nance and the house ways and means
committees. The other half of the
cost is to be provided by $1,000, 0OO,-
600 of the bonds authorized by the
war revenue bill passed Saturday by
the house, which is expected to pass
the senate this week.
Outstanding in the suggestions are
greatly increased income and exces.
profit tax rates, taxing of many i'm
ported articles now admitted free and
stamp, liquor, amusement, sugar, cof-
fee, tobacco, soft drink, freight and
passenger transportation and automo-
bile taxes. All of the data is sent to
congress for its information and with
out recommendations from the treas
ury.
Probably the most far-reaching pro-
posal concerns income taxes. The
secretary estimates that a so per cent.
increase on both individuals and cor
porations for 1917, collectible next
June, would yield Sl65, 600, 900 addi-
tional. For 1917 he points out that to
lower tax exemption from 50, 900 to
81 500 for unmarried persons from
81, 900 to $1,000 for married persons,
would leave the normal tax at the
present percent, but to raise the super
taxes materially would make the law
produce $3400O0,00O additional in
June, 1918, without changing the cor.
poration tax. The highest rate on
super taxes under the plan outlined
would be 40 per cent of all incomes
over 81, 10000
Consideration of the suggestions
will begin Immediately in the ways
and means committee. A bill proba.
bly, will be reported by it within two
weeks.

OUR FLAG.

'RESOLVED, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing a new con-
stellation. These words brought the
flag into official being "a resolution
of congress, adopted in Philadelphia
on June IA, 1777. Yet whole year
earlier there had been flag, the one
sewed by the devoted fingers of Bet
sy Ross, the young Philadelphia wo-
man who made it at the suggestion of
a committee from congress, accompa-
MED by General Washington, from
whose coat of arms the design was
borrowed.
The flag went into battle for the
first time at Brandywine, September
IL, l777, and on February IA, ITS,
received the first salute from foreign
power, when the Ranger, command
ed by John Paul Jones, was saluted
by the French in Quiberon bay, port
of France. At length came Vermont
and Kentucky into the Union. and two
more stripes and two more stars were
added to our banner on May /, 1895.
So it continued for twenty-three years,
by which time five more states had
entered the galaxy of commonwealth.
And then on April A, 1918, the flag
was fixed at thirteen stripes again,
but with twenty stars, one to be added
on July A for each new state there.
after. And Illinois, admitted in De.
cember of the same year, was the
first to set a new star in the blue
field where today are fortnight.
