JUDGE KYSER NOW
ENDORSES TANLAC
Well-Known Public Man of
Austin Says, ut Put Me in
Better Shape Than I've
Been for Years"

One Of the distinguishing features
of the introduction and phenomenal
popularity of Tanlac in Texas and
throughout the south. is the large
number OF prominent men who have
come forward and given the medicine
their unqualified Endorsements be-
cause OF the benefits they have de-
rived from its use.
Judge G. w. Kyser, 1904 West
Ninth street, Austin, Texas, in a recent
interview, made the following state
ment:
"Tanlac is rapidly making me over
into new man and I will always
speak good word for it when have
the opportunity"
Judge Kyser served In the Civil
War with the 32nd Texas Cavalry un-
der Colonel Woods and the Confeder-
ate veteran needs no introduction to
the Southern born man or woman.
The Judge occupied the bench in
Caldwell county for twenty years and
resigned this office to accept the ap-
pointment- as commissioner of PEN
sions under Governor Colquit. After
eighteen months in this high office,
he was compelled. on account of fail
ing health, to retire from active life.
He is not only one OF Austin's most
highly respected citizens, but is
prominently known thruoLt the state.
II have suffered from constipation
for years" continued Judge Kyser
~ had rheumatic pains all over my
body, was restless and couldn't sleep
at all well. / was stupid and tired,
my mind seemed to be sluggish, and
at times I couldn't think. l had no
energy and suffered frequently from
headaches. And, on top of my other
troubles, about a month ago, few
days before 7 began taking Tanlac,
took a severe cold which left me with
a pain in my chest and dreadful
cough couldn't rest at night for
coughing-and to be frank about 1t,
I was just about played out.

advertised and began taking II and

as the best medicine 7 have ever
found to build up a weak. rundown
system and to restore lost health and
vigor."

SEEK TO PUT BAN
ON GRAIN GAMBLE
Action Discouraging Specula-
tion Results in Drop in
Price of Wheat.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE low swell
Of business disturbance due to the
entry Of the United States into the
war broke in crested wave over the
leading grain exchanges of the coun-
try today. Tomorrow representatives
of these exchanges will meet here to
discuss the situation, the high prices OF
grain, the runaway tendency of the
mark.t and the attitude Of the gov
ernment.
There is among influential Chicago
grain men a sentiment that speculation
in futures should be absolutely elimi-
mated. The sentiment. however, was
by no means unanimous. 1t was re-
ported that the Minneapolis delega-
tion would oppose such procedure, de-
spite food regulation measures pro-
prosed by congressman including Sen
ator Thomas demand for the closing
OF all exchanges where foodstuffs are
speculated in. Delegations are eX
pected from Duluth, Toledo, Kansas
City and St Louis.
Drastic Action Taken.
The Chicago board of trade began
the day by taking unprecedented ac-
ton to curb speculation. Buying of
May options in grain were prohibited
and outstanding contracts were or
dered closed at or under maximum
prices fixed by a committee of the
board. Trading in July and September
wheat was curbed for a period OF two
days except at s2.75 or under for
July, and $2.45 bushel OF under for
September. The maximum price for
closing out May corn was fixed at
s1.61 Y and for May oats at 1914 cents
a bushel.
The result Of these regulations was
sharp decline in wheat and advances
in the coarser cereals. Net changes
for the day follow:
Changes Resulting.
Wheat-July. 16c lower; September.
1Sc lower.
Corn-July. 6 7-Sc higher; Septem,
ber, s 5-Sc lower
Oats-July, Y &C higher; September,
2 lac higher
At st. Louis, Kansas City. Duluth.
Minneapolis and Toledo the boards
took action approximately similar to
that of Chicago. At st. Louis. wheat
declined 10 to II 1-4c: at Kansas City,
12h to 13c; at Minneapolis, 3 to 1Sc,
and at Duluth. 13 to 1Sc There was
a holiday at Winnipeg-Arbor day
but the board there voted to dscon-
tinue trading in October futures.

Agitation in various parts of Flor

vide an inland waterway through the
heart of that state from the Atlantic

that the active support of some Is
counties can be obtained, and that
the state legislature will pass Law
creating a canal district with full
power to carry the work forward.

CARELESSNESS AT GRADE eros.
SINGS SHOWN.

In view of all the agitation which
has marked the safety-first move
ment in recent years it is rather sur
prising, to say the least, to find that
of those persons who pass over grade
railroad crossings probably ope-half,
or more, fail to look to the right or
left before moving across the tracks.
This estimate is based on the repor-
ted findings of Investigators for the
California Railway Commission. In
observing the drivers of 1900 mo-
tor vehicles it was found that over
SO per cent looked neither way be-
fore crossing railway tracks. Some
thing over 2 per cent looked in one
direction only, while the remainder,
less than % per cent. looked both to
the right and the left. or $500 pc
destrians, 40 per cent looked neither
way and Is per cent looked only one
way. 1t is believed that these fig
ures may be taken as fairly typical
of the country as a whole. They in
dictate both the menace of the grade
crossing and the need OF educating
both drivers and pedestrians to grea-
ter caution.-From the March Popu-

DIARIES FOR, FARM ACCOUNTS

DlAhIES tOk FARM aSCOUNIS.
A number of ways in which farm
ers may use a diary in keeping ac-
counts of their farm business are
suggested in a new Farmers Bulle-
tin, No. 1872, prepared by the Office
of Farm Management, United States
Department of Agriculture. Many
successful farmers, it is said, have
found that diary is sufficient to en-
able them to keep track of their af-
fairs without compelling them to de-
vote an undue amount of time to ell
aborate accounts. There are two
classes of records in which farmers
are particularly Interested: % Re-
ceipts and expenditures; and CD the
records of work and production, such
as the dates of planting and of har-
vesting, crop yields, livestock feed,
etc. In many cases the diary has
been found to be the most convent
ent means of keeping these records.
The new bulletin contains a number
of blank forms and other Informal
ton in regard to the use of the diary
