they do not reach the source Of the

Now Well and Strong Again

''Tanlac has simply saved my
wife's life and there is no doubt
about it. 1t has not only saved her
life but she has actually gained
twenty-seyen pounds since she began
taking it. Before taking this medi-
cine she had to spend most of the
time during the past year in bed
and in the hospital and the doctors
finally said that an operation would
be the only means of saving her life.

This remarkable statement was
made by City Detective B. F. Hagan,
who lives at 1911 Florida avenue,
Jacksonville, Fla. There is not
better known man in that city or in
Duyal county than Officer Hagan, as
he has been a member of the detec-
tive force for the past fifteen years
and has the reputation of being one
of it's best and most efficient officers.
He also stands well as a man and
citizen, and no one who knows him
would doubt his word for a minute.

for the past two years. She suffered
all the time from stomach trouble
and indigestion and was in a serious
condition. She was almost con-
tinually complaining of severe pains
in her sides and shoulders. She
would have awful splitting head
aches and her constitution was all
rundown. It just looked like she
couldn't eat at all and what little
she did eat would always make her
sick at the stomach and cause her
to throw up. Really l cant begin to
tell you all about her case. She had
to stay in bed most Of the time and
finally had to go to the hospital.

do but medicines nor nothing else
seemed to help her particle. FL

would be her only hope and If she
wasn't operated on she would die.
We wouldn't agree to it though, and
she was brought back home.
about that time she began TAX

to where she only weighed ninety

six bottles of this medicine she now
weighs one hundred and twenty-five

twenty-seven pounds. That's just

~AThe Situation is Growing WorseS~
Early movement Of fertilizers for spring
use is necessary this year because Of the con-
gested condition Of shipping and the shortage
in railroad cars and labor throughout the
country.
Indications point to a big increased de-
mand for fertilizers this spring Even in
normal timesit is hard to move the 4, 100000
tons used by farmers in the spring. Unless
orders are placed Immediately for prompt
shipment no one can insure your goods
arriying in time. Order full 30-ton cars in
stead Of 15-ton cars.
No matter what the weather conditions
may be this spring you can't afford to plant
without fertilizer, so you take no chances in
ordering early. With present prices for
cotton and all farm products, fertilizer will
be doubly profitable. Protect yourself by
hauling your fertilizers now whc>+you have
plenty Of time Farm profits depend upon
having g good supply Of plant-food on hand
when you need it.

were not many such men. but that COM
missions would all date from the grad
uation day. There had been some few
cases, however, he thought. where COM
missions had been given at once when
the candidate had been called for special
duty, and these would stand.
The theory of the department. is that
men selected before the end of the camp
course had already passed the period of
observation by their officers, insuring
them commissions. They are carried at
their student rate of pay of 500 a
month until graduation date of their

MAKE 1T A REGULAR
THING

IA ENDLETON handled an
- intercollegiate football
game Saturday, the first
ever played in eastern Oregon,
and did so with success. So
much so that on the part of
both teams a desire to stage the
game here each year was ex-
pressed.
Pendleton can afford to CO.
operate to the same end. The
playing of such a game in this
city constitutes a recognition
that is complimentary and de-
sirable. 1t accentuates point
that we love to make, that
from a geographical stand
point, and from other stand
points as well, this is the most
favorably located town in east
ern Oregon. The game brings
many people here from other
parts of eastern Oregon and
some even from western Ore
gon. 1t brings the Pendleton
date line, in the newspapers,
into use in new way and the
publicity adds to the Pendleton
prestige.
Not only that our people and
our visitors are given entertain
ment that is worth while. Good
football is a fascinating sport
and if such games are contin-
ued here our people will come
to like it more and more. Foot
ball is continuous battle, in
which brain, strength, skill and
team work are brought to play
as is true in no other game. 1t
is a hard game but it is not the
brutal, senseless game some
people think. 1t is clean and
manly sport. It tests the game
ness of the loser and also the
calibre of the victor. Like the
Roundup contests collegiate
football is the real thing-a
struggle for mastery-and such

few of the ten million register

first few drafts. Then it is
poor policy to call out men with
bona fide dependents or who
may be needed at home for oc-
cupational reasons while at the
same time other men, younger
perhaps, and free from respon-
sibilities, are left exempt. The
draft will be more popular and
more logical when carried out
under the new scheme.
