Hioh Cost of Living Offset by Healthy
Digestion of Strength Max
ing Foods.

According to Joseph Hardy, farm
er. Carthage, Mo, a big appetite
pays large dividends because food
strengthens the muscles and IN
creases earning power. In recent
conversation at the Wilkinson Drug
company, this city. Mr.. Hardy said:
A short time ago l had very poor
appetite. l didn't eat enough to
keep a bird alive, consequently l was
weak. It was hard for me to do my
work.
Since taking Tanlac l have good
appetite. l know the cost of living
is high at present, but believe me L
pays to have a good appetite no mat
ter what it costs.
"Refore | took Tanlac l was all
run down. My food soured on my
stomach l was nervous, too, and
couldn't sleep soundly at night. Many

hours.
'Tanlac helps person in more
WAYS than one Besides making
your stomach feel good it is great
for the nerves
Tanlac. the new herb tonic, is now
being introduced in Keokuk by the
Wilkinson Drug Co. Try it for indi
gestion, headaches, loss of sleep and
other ills arising from disordered
condition of the stomach, kidneys and
liver.
Many say they actually have not
known what it was to eat with com
fort for years before they took Tan
lac. Others say it has restored their
nerves and brought them peaceful,
restful, healthy sleep. Still others eX-
toll its merits as a blood purifier,
remedy for catarrh, and the many
ills which arise from catarrhal con
dition of the mucus membranes.
The production of the Tanlac La
boratories is now over five million
bottles per year. Over a quarter OF
million people have voluntarily given
signed statements telling how Tanlac
has relieved them of nervousness,
how it has restored their appetites,
increased their weight, rid them OF
dyspepsia, bad blood, constipation
and many other ailments which arise
from broken down condition Of the
body tissues.

Mr.. Dewey said:

comes to eating, even if she is only

recommended by the Wilkinson Drug
Co.. Keokuk, who say: This is a

extracts medicinal properties of great
value.

Three of the dearest children in

Dewey to distraction until Tanlac
toned up her nerves. She now sleeps
soundly every night, no matter how

The "Tanlac Twins and their baby
brother are active every minute from
the time they open their eyes in the

sings them to sleep at night.
Mrs. Dewey's greatest joy in life is

Relatives Promptly Notified.

Relatives of soldiers named in cas-
ualy lists forwarded from France or
dinarily are notified within "a hours
after receipt of the lists, according to
a statement authorized oy the War
Department. A statistical" diVls-
ion, with staff of officers and corps
of stenographers. gives all it's time to
the maintenance of flies of soldiers
names and addresses. This division
notifies relatives.
A copy Of the roster of each con-
tingent sailing TO join the Expedi-
tionary Forces is filed in card index
fashion, each card bearing the name
of one soldier, his organization, and
the name amt address of parent or
other relative or friend designated
by him to be notified in emergency.
When casualty list is rece iyed from
Gen Pershing each name cabled from
the American Expeditionary Force is
listed with the emergency address on
file in the card index. AS rapidly as
the new list with emergency addresses
is built up The telegraph clerks get
duplicates. These clerks already are
supplied with blank kilograms which
require only the relatives address,
name of sender, nature of casualty,
and the date, and filling in the blank
spaces they get the kilograms off as
quickly as possible. In addition to
maintaining the telegraph blanks
the statistical division is
supplied with sets of form letters to
be filled in and mailed when further
details are available.
While relatives are generally in re-
ceipt of information within "a hours
after the cables are received, delays
are sometimes due to clerical errors
caused by the fact that names must
pass through so many hands in
France and in America, incorrect
emergency addresses turned in by
soldiers, removal of families to ad-
dresses other than those listed, and
the occasional necessity for cabling
back to Gen. Peshing to verify a
name or to obtain an address.
Aside from these four causes of de-
lay the only reason for the failure of
relatives to receive word at once is
military consideration. Gen. Perish
ing may, at his discretion, withhold
casualty list until he is positive it
will have no military value to the
enemy.

Artillery Motorized.

y Motorization of field artillery will
be carried to greater extent in the
American Army than in any other
army engaged in the war. Not only
will far greater amount of motor
equipment be provided in proportion
to the strength Of the Army, but it
will be used for work where armies
now in the field depend solely upon
horse and man power.
The Ordnance Department has sue
ceeded in developing such types of
tractors that, exclusive of the heavi-
est field artillery mounted on railroad
carriages, all American artillery will
be motorized, with the exception Of
some of the 3-inch gun batteries. The
problem of the motorization Of field
artillery is a difficult one, which ex-
plains why it has not been carried to
to a greater extent than has been the
case with the armies that have been
fighting in Europe for the last three
years.
The possible output of tractors for
the transport of field artillery IN the
United States is practically unlimit-
ed, whereas the supply of horses is at
present limited.an is becoming more
so each month.
