KAISER ORDERS
VOTING REFORMS
Commands Chancellor to Sub
nit Proposals for Extend
ing Franchise.
U. s. ACTION HAS EFFECT

Amsterdam (Via London), April s.
Emperor William has ordered Ger
man Imperial Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg to submit to him cer-
tain proposals for the reform OF the
Prussian electoral law to be discussed
and put into effect after the conclusion
of peace. An official telegram from
Berlin announcing this order adds that
it foreshadows also the reform OF the
upper chamber of the Prussian diet.
The text of the emperor's order to
the imperial chancellor, who is also
president of the ministry of state fol-
lows: -.....
Never before have the German
people proved to be so firm as in this
war. The knowledge that the father
land is fighting in bitter self-defense
has exercised a wonderful recon-
cling power and, despite all sacri-
fees on the battlefield and severe pri-
vations at home, their determination
has remained imperturbable to stake
their last for the victorious issue.
Understand Each Other.
"The national and social spirits have
understood each other and become
united, and this has given US steadfast
strength. Both OF them realized
what was built up in long years of
peace and amidst many international
struggles. This was certainly worth
fighting for. Brightly before my eyes
stand the achievements of the entire
nation in battle and distress. The
events of this struggle for. the ex-
istence of the empire introduce with
high solemnity new time.
ut falls to you as the responsible
chancellor of the German empire and
first minister of my government in
Prussia to assist in obtaining the full
fillment of the demands of this hour
by right means and at the right time
and in this spirit shape Our political
life in order to make room for the
free and joyful cooperation of all the
members of our people.
"The principles which you have
developed in this respect have, as you
know, my approval. / feel conscious
of remaining thereby on the road
which my grandfather, the founder of
the empire, as king of Prussia, with
military organization and as German
emperor with social reform, typically
fulfilled"
Question Of Internal Reforms.
Copenhagen (Via London), April 8.
The declaration by tf1e United
States that state of war exists with
Germany and the question of internal
reforms in Germany have acquired
an intimate connection through Presi-
dent Wilson's message. The German
government, though of course, deny
ing the validity of PresidentWilson's
statements, has hastened to counter
act their probable effect.
The appearance of a semi-oftlcial
declaration in the Norddeutsche All
gemeine Zeitung on the German en-
peror's interest in reforms, testihes to
the fear that President Wilson's argu-
ments will get home to the socialist
and liberal forces, who several weeks
ago were saying much the same thing
as the president and were demanding
the emperor identify himself with the
imperial chanceilor's promises to re-
form.

Died of Premature Old Age !

How many times we hear Of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 10
or 80 years of age. This fatal work Is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, 1t causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri-
Gus the poisOns passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay,
1t is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work Of the
kidneys. This can be done ~ dr'ok-
ing plenty Of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anurlc, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for it dIssolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

AS can readily be seen it is nothing
unusual for dealers to order car load
of Tanlac and have every bottle of II
sold before it arrives. In fact, many
of the Tanlac jobbers and distributors
invariably order the second and third
cars before the car en- route has time
to reach them.
What is the answer to all thisI
There is only one explanation, and that
is very simple. The inherent purity
and wholesomeness of the medicine
has confirmed it in the minds of the
people and made it household word
throughout America.
There Is a Tanlac dealer in your
town.-Adv.
The Harrison times., 1917-04-21

In q later statement Mr.. Willis said:
"This condition was brought about
not only by the enormous demand for
Tanlac but by the congested condition
OF the railroads.
"When it seemed almost certain
that the threatened nationwide rail-
road strike would 60 into effect we
made arrangements to keep our prin-
cipal distributors supplied by express.
Over one thousand (S1,0O00O) dollars
was spent for express charges in
single day on Texas and Oklahoma
orders alone.
Working at Top Speed.
although the big Tanlac laborato-
ries at Dayton, Ohio, have been run
ming at top speed TURNING out their
full capacity Of approximately twenty
five thousand bottles per day, we have
been wholly unable to meet the de-
mand for Tanlac which has been Gre
ated during the past two years.
ries with their enormous output the
Cooper Medicine Company Is now plan
ming to establish branch plants in the
Central West, on the West coast and
in the Dominion of Canada, and unless
international complications make it
impossible for us to secure the numer-
Gus ingredients in the way Of roots,
herbs, barks, etc, many of which come
from remote parts Of the globe, we
will be able to take care Of any future
demand"
The wonderful growth and develop
ment of Tanlac has been the marvel Of
the commercial world and the amaz-
Ing success achieved by the prepara-
tons seems almost incredible.
What Dealers Say.
In only two years time over seven
and one-half million bottles have been
sold and the demand is constantly in
creasing. Although placed on the mar
ket in Texas and Oklahoma but a few
months ago practically a third of q
million bottles have already been sold
and thousands have been unable to OBJ
tain it on account Of the inability of
the laboratory to supply it.
Dealers and jobbers have been al
most frantic because of their inabil-
ity to fill the thousands Of orders they
have been receiving and the following
letters and kilograms from well known
firms gave ample evidence Of the won
derful growth and popularity of Tan,
lac:
