GAINED 80 LBS.
I've never found anything
to equal Tanlac, she says;
troubles overcome.

Hoyle, OF 1929 Pennsylvania Ave,

them to take Tanlac, for I have tried
Il myself and have never found any
thing to equal II. 1 have suffered
with rheumatism during the past ten
years until thought would go dis
tracted. The pain would extend from
my hips down to my ankles, the mus
cies and leaders felt like they were
drawn. my knees were so stiff could
hardly bend over. and many a night
the pain was so severe that I could
hardly keep from crying. Ny Ape
tite was very poor and ny stomach
WAS SO out OF order that what little
] did eat made ne miserable. I SUI
fered terribly from indigestion and
would bloat up so badly from the gas
or my stomach that I could scarcely
breathe, and there was also a dull
aching pain in the pit Of my stomach
1Iy complexion was very bad-sallow
and yellow looking-and I Just felt
badly all the time
But Tanlac has been a wonderful
blessing TO me and no one could see
the change that has taken place in
me during the past few weeks and
doubt II being a great medicine. All
my rheumatic pain and stiffness is
gone now, and you may know I feel
like a new person. Ny appetite is
splendid. I an never bothered with
indigestion or gas any more. no mat
ter what eat, and my color is fine.
Not only have I been relieved OF
rheumatism and stomach trouble, but
I have also gained thirty pounds in
weight, besides. Now these are my
reasons for thinking so well OF Tanlac
and I viii gladly tell anyone who
cares to call on me what have found
out by experience about It"

.ALLOTMENTS Of
SOLDIERS HELD
Arbitrary Action Quarter
master General Blamed
hu CONGRESSMAN

Washington. D. c., Dec. 21.-Thou-
sands and thousands OF pay allot-
ments to the wives and relatives Of
American soldiers. many Of whom are
in serious need Of money. are being
held up through the action Of the
quartermaster general Of the army in
taking the distribution Of the soldiers
pay away from the war risk bureau
and directing that the work be done
i by his division. 1t was declared today
/ by congressman Edward Saunders, OF
Virginia.
! Mr.. Saunders IS so wrought up over
I the matter, which he styles a wanton
assumption Of authority without ac-
I ton by congress, that he has intro
dUced a bill directing the Qusrtermas-
ter general to Immediately begin pay
ing the allotments TO the soldiers de-
pendents and to promptly pay I'D all
arrearages.
THE abominabIe delay in making
payments Of the monthly allotments
TO the wives and families Of the SOL
diers has all been brought about by
the action of the quartermaster gen
eral in taking over the JOB from the
war risk bureau" said congressman
Saunders. There Is absolutely no au-
thority in any measure passed by con-
gress warranting the quartermaster
general in doing this. and challenge
its authority.
spoiled Work Finished.
THE war risk bureau had tackled
an enormous job, that Of distributing
monthly allotments and allowances to
over 5000, 600 soldiers and sailors, but
after a series of vexatious delays was
getting along in pretty good shape IN
til the quartermaster general Of the
army took away from the war risk
bureau the payment Of allotments,
where there were no accompanying
allowances and said the checks would
be sent direct by the war department. !
That might have been all rigth II
the Quartermaster general had con-
tinued to make the payments on the /
information and authority the war !
risk bureau had obtained from every /
man in the army, but that was not /
done. Instead. all the Information (
and authority gathered for months By !
the war risk bureau, and on which il /
was making payments regularly. was
discarded, and the Quartermaster gen. I
eral sent out what is known as general /
order SO to all commanders instruct /
ing that all men make out papers for /
allotment Of salary upon printed ]
forms supplied by the department.
In cases where the men were near /
Washington and where prompt action I
was possible there was not much de- /
lay in the taking up OF the monthly /
allotment payments by the war de- /
parment. but in thousands Of IN /
stances the blanks were not returned !
promptly and papers from thousands 1
Of other soldiers ain France and other I
points have not yet been received As /
a consequences. the apyment Of allot- /
ments to the wives and families have i
ceased since July l.

BIG PEACE CHORUS
TO SING SATURDAY

A national song festival has been
planned to be held next Saturday
afternoon at o'clock. ON the Ellipse
south Of the White House. It il ar
ranged by the War Camp Community
Service and has the cooperation of
ten Of the Government departments.
The plan Is in a large panorama
form. At the center of the Ellipse
there Is to be a band stand. on which
the Marine Band will play, and from
which the W. c. c. s. song-leader, ].
Edward Bowler. will direct the sing.
ing. Radiating from this central
point will be ten aisles-roped on
leading to the circumference OF the
circle on which ten smaller stands
will be erected. each with its own
song-leader, who will work in con-
junction with Mr.. Bowler, all groups
singing in unison with the central
group.
The whole viii form a huge wheel-a
wheel revolving to the strains Of music
OF peace and rejoicing.
On each Of the outside stands win
be erected the standard OF the vari-
Gus departments that take part In
the festival-such as the standard
Of the State Department. the Navy
Department, etc.-ten in all. making
the occasion one Of national import
ance with official recognition from the
chiefs Of the service Of the United
States Government, and their en-
ployes.
HaIf-HOIIday Contemplated
1t is expected that the number OF
participants in this festival Of song
viii extend high into the thousands
tens Of thousands or more, and a
Government half-holiday Is being con-
templated to further stamp the oc-
casion as an event Of nationwide I'M
portance.
The fact that the National Capital
takes the initiative in such a celebTa-
ton lends II a broad Importance. For
