 BEING BLOCKED
Drsatic Steps Are Being Taken to Prevent the Smuggling of
 Securities.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. The new Russian government has taken drastic steps to prevent smuggling of money and valuable securities to the Germans, according to consular reports received here. Practically all the nations at war with Germany are preventing Germany from get ting wealth in any form.
 The nations arrayed against Ger many have for the past three years been perfecting their system of block 1ding food and other articles of val le to the Germans.
 The attention of the belligerents at present is turned to intangible clements of wealth. The plan is to make Germany Ego broke"
 The Russian government has pro mulgated a decree forbidding all men 3y remittances to any foreign cOun- try. This is the system to be fol lowed by all belligerents.
 The leakage of wealth has been through neutral countries. In the case of the United States it is known much gold has gone back to Germany through Spain, South America and the Scandinavian countries.

We know you will be interested in the new Fall suits and dresses, because the fashions are somewhat simple and yet decidedly becoming and attractive. The coats are rich, be- cause materials used are of the kind that need no trimming to make them look smart and fashion able. As for the separate waists and skirts, we find that they are to be as pop ular as ever. The skirts, by the way, are somewhat narrower than last year.

HER REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE

81 was in an awful condition

had been for two years, but Tanlac
got me back in good health" was
the emphatic statement of Mrs. u.
J. Burgin, of Greer, S. e., in a
statement she gave May 10th in
endorsement of Tanlac. l was
suffering from the after effects OF
malaria. My system was out OF
order, I was weak and run down
and my face was as yellow as
pumpkin. My feet and legs felt
like they were dead or asleep, and
tingled all the time. Really, had
begun to wonder if / ever would re-
gain my health, and I didn't think
I had chance, for so much medi-
cine had failed to help me. In fact,
l felt so badly that I often told my
family at nightI hoped there would
be no stove in the house in the
morning so 1 would not have to
cook breakfast. I had stomach
trouble very badly, too.
"Tanlac is the grandest thing IN
the world for a condition like l
was in, and it soon got my stomach
in good shape, my face cleared up
and repained the right color and
my appetite soon came back. No
matter how bad headache l had,
one dose of Tanlac relieved 1t.
Soon the Tanlac had me feeling
fine and strong, and after l had
taken two bottles I was we'll and
strong. took some of the Tanlac
Tablets, and they helped Tanlac
ever so much to get me well.
Those tablets are the best l ever
took.
81 am glad to recommend Tanlac,
for it is the finest and, of course,
the only medicine that ever helped
me-"

HIGH GASOLINE COSTS
AFFECT CUBAN MARKET
Big Demand for Electrics Is
Caused by World War;
Economy Necessary.

Ernesto de Zaldo of the firm or
Zaldo & Martinez of Havana and New
York, who recently visited the plant
where Milburn electrics are built in
Toledo, reported great activity In the
electric vehicle market on the island.
The soaring cost of fuel for gasoline
cars, he said. had opened up an in
creased demand for the electric variety
OF motor car.
The Cuban business man contracted
for some of the Milburn town cars and
Milburn delivery chasses before leav-
ing the factory, and he predicted
further orders in the near future.
with the whole world at war, 1t IS
perfectly obvious that economy should
play n bigger part in motor car af-
fairs than eSen in the past" said r. 5.
woodruff, sales manager for Milburn
electrics. THAT Is one of the i'm
portant reasons for increased demand
for electrics. The owner of an electric
| car need have no fear concerning
gasoline prices. He is absolutely i'm
| mune from any i'll effects in that d.
rection.
! And there are many facts which
| indicate that with our own country in
Vulved in war. gas fuel may climb In
price to an alarming degree. The un-
heard of prices that petrol brought on
the continent after war had prevailed
for few months certainly warrant a
shudder on the part OF the average
gasoline car owner.
I'm Cuba gasoline is selling at so
cents gallon and no one knows what
the price will be few months from
now. The same situation. or prices
nearly as high, prevail in many other
localities.
"Inasmuch as the modern electric
car has all OF the advantages of the
gasoline product for ordinary use from
the standpoint OF power, speed and
endurance. 1t is not unreasonable to
expect that Its sales will exceed all
previous records before the season is
