South Brewer Man Gladly Tells
His Story for Others.

+" y wi e says she can't cook enough to
feed me now" laughingly said J. P.
McCosh, Of South Brewer, Me-, as,
plainly happy, he began story that will
be good news to many Maine workers,
both men and women.
Mr.. McCosh is a worker in paper mill
where efficiency and good health count
every day.
II had stomach trouble, indigestion
and complication of ailments that put
me sick in bed" this South Brewer man
explained.
"After taking just one bottle OF Tanlac
1 was back at work again. Now l am
feeling fine and have such great appetite
that my wife jokes me about it and says
she can't cook enough"
"There is more praise in those few
| words by this Maine man than there
would be in an ordinary volume" said
| the Tanlac Man. "Back to work again
means lot. 1t means money earned in
stead of lost and it means content instead
OF unhappiness and suffering. People
who are put back on the job by Tanlac

McCosh was.
1.-THE symptoms of stomach trouble are
known to everyone. Food sours and
ferments instead OF dlgesting. The
tongue is coated and the breath bad.
There is gas, bloating and pain after
meals, the appetite fails and the victim
soons becomes sluggish and all run down

pepsia, and Tanlac is the new medicine
designed to tone up ailing stomachs while
it makes assimilation and builds strength
| through blood and tissues"
Tanlac is being specially introduced in
Ellsworth by E. g. Moore; in West
Franklin, s. 8. Scammon; North Sullivan
H. Robinson, and there is Tanlac agent
in every Maine town.

GERMANY PLANS TO SINK
ALL SHIPS, SAYS USHER
Saws L. 5. Must Sever Relations
diets Seizure of Interned Vessels


St. Louis. Jan. 31.-Roland G. Usher
professor Of history at Washington
University and author Of "Pan-Ger-
manism" and "Pan-Americanism.' de-
clared that the only thing for the
United States 20 DO now Is 20 sever
Diplomatic relations with Germany IN
an interview tonight. He also pre-
dicted that the United States will seize
all the German shiDs informed in the
harbors Of the United States. Profess
sor Usher said:
"The note is perfectly explicit. Ger
many proposes 70 wage absolutely I'M
restricted warfare They intend 10
sink ANYTHING they encounter. They
know no ships are coming TO Germany.
and therefore assume that all vessels
are baund for their enemies. II is esti-
mated that the Germans have amassed
a feet of from 700 10 500 large subma-
rines. They have calculated that If
they can deprive England Of food for
two weeks they can starve her into sub
mission. II they can accomplish this
blockade for two weeks X Is also con-
ceivable that they can maintain II for
six weeks.
THE British now admit that Ger
many has produced a serious effect on
English shipping. In the middle Of the
winter, when no food is being produced,
no crops being reaped and no harvests
70 expect for some months, this is the
critical time for such q blow against
England 20 be delivered.
THE reason the action has not been
taken before is certainly not fear Of
the United States. Germany has not
before been prepared for the measure
Il has not had enough submarines.
Germany cannot vitally affect England
By 'nibbing.' She must sink every
thing within 1000 miles of the British
Isles and continue 10 sink everything
for some time"

No Move by U. S. Navy
to Meet U-Boat Situation

Washington, Jan. 31.-Not a ship was
moved by the Navy Department to-
night. in spite of the fact that the
United States is faced. beginning at
midnight tonight, with warlike
menace TO its shipping. The apathy
that overspread the White House and
State Department was reflected in Sec
rotary Daniels's department. The Ad-
ministration did not even notify the
Secretary of what had happened, and
he expressed complete surprise when d
news paper reporter told him Of the
German plans many hours after the
State Department mad been advised Of
them.
A naval officer or two Of the regular
night watch and a few sleepy clerks
kept company at the communications
Office with the silent wireless keys.
The high officers of the navy, II is
said. are not in sympathy with this
apathy. They believe not a moment
should be lost in modelling the coun-
try's naval power, both as warning 70
Germany and for use in case the Ger
man programme is put INTO eject.
These officers believe that Germany's
note means naval war.
The destroyers, particularly, would
be Of value in conveying American
ships through the war zone. There IS
little likelihood, IL is thought, that the
larger vessels would De employed, as
they are too vulnerable 20 torpedo at
