OUTLOOK IN EASI
 NOT PROMISING

R. H. Pringle. of the A. c. store, has just returned from a buying trip in the East. We place before our readers few things he learned about the future outlook, which will be of interest to the people of this district.
 The outlook is not promising. Conditions are becoming more strin- gent each day. and prices are ad- vancing regardless of material. i.
 No future orders are being taken, therefore stores can no longer place orders month ahead in order to take s(.yantage of prices as they now are. but must order from stock on
 hand.
 Many are complaining because wool goods are high and hard to get. Content yourselves. for soon there will be no more all wool garments The government is forcing factories to use a large percentage of cotton in their work Sweaters, suits for
 men and women, cloth, blankets. un 1 derwear, everything now having all wool will have less wool and more 1 cotton Many articles will be cot ] ton entirely. X sack cloth sui 1 will be the heighth of style before long. The consumer will have tc i pay just as much and probably more 1 for these garments. The government will no doubt regulate prices so they 1 will not be abnormal.
 The food situation is even worse ] People must realize the seriousness Of the situation and face the state l of affairs in an open minded man

ner before the government is forced to regulate our home consumption for us. Another year will see only such articles on the market as are considered necessities. There will not be the luxuries on the market that we see now, and the re- tail buyer is having this fact driven home forcibly.
 Stores now have to order full ca pacity lots This means that here tofore a store could order goods enough to fill two-thirds or even half of d cars capacity. Now they must order full capacity. This is done in order to relieve freight con sestion and facilitate traffic. A number of small concerns will sui fer because of this. In the past they could order thirty or forty thousand pound lots of merchandise, now they must order sixty or eighty
 thousand pounds according to the full capacity of the cars. This
 means that the stores that cannot handle this amount of goods will evenuaily be shut out of business unless they can buy wholesale from some larger concern in their midst The public should know these things il! order to understand the situation better, and we are glad tt 1 give out these few authentic facts.

HIS TREATMENT .|S REMARKABLE" '"
 HE SAYS
Captain S Patty, Ex-Passeneer Agent Northern Pacific, Discusses Former Troubles.

Nearly everybody in Knoxville, especially railroad people. know Captain F. S. Patty, for twelve years district passenger agena for
 the Northern Pacific railroad, with local offices in Chattanooga and gen eral offices in St. Paul, Minn.
 ! On account of generally failing health Capt. Patty was forced to
 discontinue active work and for the
 past few years has been making his
 home in Knoxville, where he num- bers his friends by his acquaintan- ces. He is a kind, genial gentlemen of the old school and is beloved by all who know him. The following interesting statement was made by him ill person to the Tanlac repre- sentative:
 q am 69 years old and always en- joyed good health up to about six years ago, when I suffered a nerv- ous breakdown and my general i health gradually failed me. My
 principal trouble was indigestion and
 catarrh, but my whole system seem- ed to be out of shape. My condi- ton finally got so bad l couldn't sleep at night and always after eating I would suffer so from indi- | igestion and heartburn that I felt just like there was coal of fire ill my stomache. My hearing and vision were also affected. I consult ed several doctors here in Knox vile and other cities and they help l ed me considerably and I finally got 1 so I could go around, but somehow 1 I just couldn't feel right and could
 not sleep at night, which made me ! awfully nervous and nothing
 would eat seemed to agree with me. Y began reading about this Tan ! lac when you first came here, but did not decide to try the medicine until I talked with friend of mine ; who had actually used it. He said l it was the best thing he had ever ! taken, and that was sufficient proof l for me.
 | 'T have just finished the first bot | tie and came here this morning, not only to buy the second bottle. but to | tell you just what it has done for
 me. I began enjoying my meals ! from the first few drops. My 1 nervousness is gone and I can sleep i like a child and always wake up in 1 the morning ready for breakfast and ! feeling refreshed. I am very fond l of onions, but was almost afraid to eat them, because they always dis agreed with me so: I could taste 1 them for hours. afterwards ate | one for dinner the other day and l it agreed with me perfectly and I
 felt no bad after effects whatsoever i l tell you l am beginning to feel like 8 different man and am always go-
 ing to keep this Tanlac on hand
 , It. has done me more good than any
 thing else in the medicine line
 have ever taken. certainly do
 recommend it tb my friends. It is
 really remarka ble' ''

On Thursday afternoon at the Red Cross rooms Miss Thomas, who has just returned from the coast, talked to the Morenci women in a most interesting and instructive manner of the work being done at headquarters at San Francisco and made a comparison between the amount of work being done here and the amount being done in larger chapters.
 To the relief of many Miss Thomas denied the misleading rumors which have been circulated among the workers in the smaller branches concerning the returning of sup plies which did not conform entire Iy with regulations. Nothing is sent back, everything is needed
