VALUES IT ABOVE
EVERYTHING ELSE
ON EARTH, She Says
Mrs. Wood Says She
Wouldn't Take Any
thing In World for
Good Tanlac Did
Her.

After the awful suffering l
endured for so long, | wouldn't
take anything in the world for
the relief l have experienced since
| began taking Tanlac," said
Mrs. Ellen Wood. who resides at
4706 Woodland Park, Seattle,

up to five years ago." she
continued, 81 was a healthy wom-
an, then I began to suffer from
some kind of ailment in my back
and hips. When the trouble first
came on I felt like l was being
tightly bound in heavy ropes that
almost crushed me and caused
unspeakable agony. My back
over my kidneys hurt like it was
breaking in two and l had an
awful pain right over my heart.
My appetite was very poor, my
food had no taste to it and L
didn't seem to care at all about
eating anything. They first put
me in a plaster of Paris cast for
ten days, and for six long months
I had to wear heavy leather
corset until l could stand it no
longer, besides it was doing me
no good. Then for a long time
I was bound up in adhesive tape
till my flesh was so sensitive II
couldn't bear the touch of finger
on it. I had not known what a
good nights rest was in years but
would just sit up night after
night unable to sleep a wink. For
six months I could not walk a
step or even bear the pressure of
my left foot to the floor, and al
tho l was under treatment all the
time and was positively forbidden
to be on my feet at all, | tried
to get around a little with the
use Of crutches or somebody tol
help me. Now this was just the
fix | was in when I started on
Tanlac.
81 had tried everything under
the sun almost without getting
any relief, and after reading so
much about Tanlac l decided to
try it a while. Ny daughter got
me bottle and | can truthfully |
say that Tanlac deserves all the
praise it has or ever will receive,
for it has certainly relieved me
of every bit of that awful pain in
my back and hips and I can walk
about now without the least bit
of trouble or suffering any pain.
I have "a splendid appetite now and
enjoy everything | eat, / sleep
all night like a baby, in fact the
rest and sleep I have had during
the past three weeks has been re-
freshing beyond words to ex-
press. Tanlac has not only done
me world of good but 1t is help
ing my son-in-law, too, and | am
just writing to my daughter-in-
law in Nebraska, telling her of
the wonderful relief l have OBJ
tanned thru the use of Tanlac and
urging her to try 1t, for think it
is the finest medicine in the
world"
Tanlac is sold In Tacoma by
French Drug Co., under the per-
sonal direction OF special Tan
lac representative.

RED CROSS GOLF
Medals Will Be Furnished Clubs
Giving Entrance Fees

Through the United states Golf Asso-
citation, the American Red Cross has
arranged tc provide an American Red
Cross prize medal to be offered in COM
petition by golf clubs which contribute
entry fees to the Red Cross instead of
using them for purchasing substantial
prizes
The association has agreed to become
responsible for keeping the matter on a
high plane, and applications from golf
organizations will be handled by Cap
tain II. +. Whitney. secretary of the
association. In this matter Captain
whitney is working in cooperation with
DeForest Hicks chairman of the Ameri-
can Red Cross prize committee.
The plan of issuing the medal was
adopted when 1t was found that in the
absence of valuable prizes 1t was eX..
pedient to offer some tangible evidence of
success in competitions. The medal in
question. while Inexpensive, is hand
sone.y wrought in bronze with cross
Of red enamel, and Is inscribed Awarded
in Recognition of Aid to the Cause of
Humanity"
These medals are to be awarded as
FIRST prizes in the more important events
and only when no other prizes are o.
fered. Red Cross certificates will be given
as second and third prizes or as first
prizes in minor tournaments.
The plan has met with great favor In
many golf clubs, and the Bureau of
entertainments and benefits of the Red
cross purposes to extend It to tennis
similar organizations which are willing
TO contribute to Red Cross funds the
| sums they otherwise would eXpend foi

IS BOSTON MAINSTAY

Dick Rudolph, star HEAVIER of the Ros-
ton Braves. has been pitching for four
teen years. but the pH?sing of tnc
doesn't seem to feaze him.
He started pitching for Fortlham Col.
lege back in 1905. and two years later
he was on his way to stardom as n MEM
Der of the Toronto club, of the Old East
ern League. after having had n hit of
additional seasoning with q semiprofcs-
sional club at Rutland. Vt, and with
New Haven in the Connecticut League.
His first full season with Toronto
was busy one. for he took part in
thirty-one games, winning thirteen aud
losing eight After that he developed
rapidly and on three occasions won move
than twenty games Il season for the
Maple Leafs.
In 1911 Rudolph was given a trial by
h .licve he was ready for the big show
and sent him back to the Toronto club
That decis on was one of the mistakes
McCiraw has made In Judging players
and he has regretted II since. for in
1913 Rudolph was traded to the Eostor
club and what he has done in the wa,
of standing National League batters OF
their heads is too we'll known to repeat
here.
Rudolph was holdout this seaso;
until late in May, when he finally cam'
20 terms with the Braves and signed hi!
contract. In his first start Of The
season he beat the Reds. letting Matty's
team down with one hit ard hc proved
corclusively that he has lost none OF
his cunning in the hoX.

National League owners and pres'-

ana johnson of the Natorn, and Amer.
1can Leagues. were in Wa Wash'ngton today
and 1t was understood that they were
preparing brief to file before the off,
ctals Of the War Department on behalf
OF organized baseball.
There was a meeting of the National
League moguls scheduled for TODAY in
Pittsburgh. After the majority of those
expected had arrived. the meeting was
postponed and will be- held Wednesday
in Washington. presumab for the pur-
pose of attempting to ct the consent
OF the Government to have TIE work.

the schedule can be played out
Phils Meet Cubs
Both the Ph'llies and tho Athletics will
continue playing iusl The cams as be-
fore. Wednesday morning the Mock
men will leave for SDetroit. where they
open on Thursday. and Wednesday after
noon at $50 the Phils will mingle
with the Chicago Cubs. Wceghman's
team is on the way Ea"t. and should
arrive tonight.
TTesluenl "lIlGNl l.. Baker, of the
Pills, took drastic action yesterday be-
Tore the game. when he called Il meeting
OF the players and demanded to know
exactly where they s.ood in regard to
playing out the schedule

Promised to Stick
Every man on the club promised -
stick with the ship. and Baker departed
last night to fight for the continuance
Of the game.
The fans today consider the meeting
between General Crowder and Secre.
tary Baker extremely important and
quite significant. They figure there is
some chance for baseball or the con.
ference never would have been held Il
is possible that the Administration off,
cials have concluded that the hg-league
owners were given enough warning and
the "pennant races will be allowed to 20
on until october. Perhaps the world s
series will be played the same as last
year.

TNHE midsummer handicap ana the
i class tournament will be played
over the east course of the Merton
Cricket Club on Thursday ot this week
and all golfers who wish to play in
either or both events should send their
entries TO Francis 3. Warner. secre-
tary of the Golf Association of Phtladel-
phia, PA West Washington Square. not
later than tomorrow II they want their
entries published. Any golfer belong
ing to any Philadelphia golf club affil'-
ated with the local association may play
in the midsummer handicap. Only
those with handicaps of eleven strokes
and upwards are eligible for the Glass
tournament Both events will run con-
medal play.
one OF the essential differences be-
tween match and medal play is this:
If you transgress rule in match play
you and your opponent are affected, but
in medal or stroke play the entire field
of players is hurt. For this reason
those players who will euter tnc tour-
rament Thursday ought to be familiar
with the medal play rules. Some one
rns said that from 60 to 80 per cent of
y" players in medal play competitions
practically disqualfy themselves through
rn'r lack of knowledge of the rules
0r the benefit of those who do not
W. but should know some OF the ele-
0fary rules. here is a brief digest
,.e more important ones:

In medal play II must he remembered
that the contest is based on ghteen
holes. Every time YOU break a rule

penalty as sportsman should. for II

DO not ask or receive advice from any
one hut your caddie, for the penalty Is

If YOU drive from the tee from outside

A HOMEMADE PAPER.
THURSDAY, FEB. %, 1918.
SUBSCRIPTION RATE,
ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

Every able bodied boy and man
between the ages Of ls and so years
living in Powell County outside of
the corporation limits of Stanton
and Clay City, are required to work
on some road in the County six
days in the year. On every road
there are some willing and ready
hands, and some unruly and stub
born. Each year, upon being
warned in by the Overseer, there
will be all of the willing hands pres
ent and ready to work at the first
call. There will also be absent all
of the shirky, lazy and unruly
hands. The willing and ready
hands work uncomplainIngly for a
time, and wait for the overseer to
compel the slackers who have fail
ed to show up, and do their bit dc
the same. The overseer failing in
this, the loyal and faithful hands,
begin to complain to the overseer.
They are ready and anxious to per-
form their work, but want the other
fellows to do their part too, result
ing in desertions OF the loyalists il
the overseer fails to make all come
up to "taw."
This is a fair sample oi how the

loyalists feel toward the food regu-
lahon. An good citizens are max
ing the required sacrifices of wheat,
meat ana etc. They now only ask
that Mr.. Brewer be required to
give up his toll too. 1t will then
be an even pull. Barley mixed
with wheat makes first class flour,
says Mr.. Hoover our Food Die
tator. Barley is now used to make
beer, and beer is used to no bene-
fit to any body. But on the other
hand ii is to the bad of every one
that drinks very much Of it.
Flour bread is the most whole
some and nourishing of all the ce-
reals, and mankind must have it.
If you will tell us why this conn
try should not stop the wasting OF
sixty.millions of bushels of choice
grain which makes men worse for
its wasting, and thereby let thu
grain go into the makeup of flour
SO that we can have still more Il

necessary, to let all the people have
three more meals of biscuits weeA,
we will no, mention the matter in
these columns again, if you can or
ly tell us Why.

The town authorities have found
it necessary to put stop to per-
sons riding in side bitches along the
streets. This is also a practice that
is INDUCED all over the county in
the travel of our roads. Transfers
see it a little dryer along the side
drains fall into the habit of driving
near the edge of the ditch, result
ing in occasionally one wheel slip
ping over into the ditch. This prac-
tice carried on for short time and
the ditch is filled up until the water
is running in all parts of the road.
If all persons using the road would
equally distribute the travel over
the crown of the road taking care
never to get into the bitches nor to
use the same track, our roads would
be four times better than they are,
and nobody would be more benefit
ted than the teamsters themselves.

We see where there is a move
made to have the price of wheat adj
vanced to 81 SO bushel. The Ed
ilor of the Times is a farmer is grow
ing wheat this year and expects to
grow more next year and each sue
ceeding year, but $500 bushel
should be the top. In fact what the
farmer buys should be lowered un :
til he can produce wheat for $l,00
a bushel. 1t should be the policy
of this Government to lower prices
on all things so per cent. Partlc-
ularly with articles it has to buy.
With this principle in force the pub
lie debt need be only half so large
