Do IL and Do 1t ON Time.

A friend from distance was at
our home the other day and remark
ed, "Mr. French, I am unable to see
how you can accomplish the business
and work that you ha2dle during the
year." A very simple rule, that it has
been my practice to follow very close
ly for the past 25 years, has much to
do with it, as I told this friend. That
rule is embodied in the heading of
this letter.
Half of the lack of accomplishment
of the average man, and especially
the man on the land, is due to the
fact that he waits for more conven-
lent season, for time when he feels
more like doing it, for time when
everything will be more to his notion,
or for time when his lack of pre-
paredness will be less of a handicap

THINKS TANLAC SAVED
HER FROM HOSPITAL.
Once Afraid to Eat Because of
Suffering Which Followed.
GAINED IS POUNDS.
Instead of Living on Bread and
Water Diet She Now Eats
Heartily.

'I was so afraid to eat because of
the suffering food caused me that |
had been living almost on bread and
water when I heard what a wonder
full new medicine called Tanlac was
doing for others. And just think of
it, l have been saved from the hos
pital and have gained Is pounds" F."
This was the earnest declaration of
Mrs. Edwin C. Shell, of 6 main Ave-,
Schenectady, N. Y. that shows the
wonderful record this new recon-
structive tonic, system purifier and
stomachic is making.
"What blessing Tanlac has been
to me-" Mrs. Shell continued, and
her words have been echoed by thou
sands of other men and women. "For
more than three years." said Mrs.
Shell, who is the wife of a well known
business man, 81 suffered. When l
tried to eat ordinary food it would
not digest but would sour and fer
ment and cause gas, bloating and
pains. The pains would extend even
to my chest and I would have feel
ing of suffocation and shortness of
breath. Some nights I would get only
two or three hours sleep. When the
sitting spells came l would have to
sit up. When I tried to do housework
I would have to sit and rest every lit
tie while. l was losing flesh and
strength every day. And, oh, how
miserable | was!
"After I had taken the Tanlac
treatment I did not have bit more
trouble with my stomach-not even
indigestion. l could eat anything. l
slept fine and always felt good. | did
not tire out after my work and l
could even do washing. With good
digestion and fine sleep | began to
build up right away and was not
surprised when l began to gain IN
weight. Finally l gained 15 pounds.
am very glad to tell every one
about Tanlac."

in the doing of many tasks that come
to him to do or handling the various
business or social obligations that are
the portion of all good citizens.
All over the country every year
are seen poor crops that are the di-
rect result of the farmers neglect to
break the land on time, to prepare a
frst-class seed bed on time, to secure
good seed and proper fertilizers on
time, or to cultivate at the proper
time. Then at the harvest is waste
apparent on every hand or extra ex-
pense for harvesting incurred, just
because the farmer had hold on the
tail rather than on the head of his
business.
A note is due at the bank and the
farmer has his credit injured and the
business in which he is engaged dis
credited by business people because
he waits for more convenient sea-
son. to meet his obligations instead of
attending to vital matters at the pro-
per time, which is now.
Too many farmers repair the fence
after the animals have damaged the
crops rather than doing it in time to
guard against damage. Think about
it seriously and you will agree with
me that our power for accomplish
ment would be more than doubled, if
the same expenditure of energy was
made on time, rather than little be-
hind hand.-A. L. French in Progress

interchangeable Gloves to Be
Provided for Soldiers.

The War Department authorizes
the following from the Office of the
Director of Purchase and Storage:
Hereafter troops will receive inter-
changeable gloves, which they may
wear on either the right or left hand.
The Clothing and Equipage Division
is now arranging to have all gloves
in process of production made inter-
changeable. The interchangeable
glove is fve-fnger knitted wool
glove, with seams so "fulled" or
"huffed" as to be invisible. These
gloves are not shaped to fit snug on
the palm or full on the back of the
hand, but are knitted fat so that the
palm and back are identical. The
thumb is fitted into both the diverse
and reverse sides of the gloves about
a quarter of an inch instead of being
fitted deeply into the palm and slight
ly into the back of the glove. This
makes it possible to shift the gloves
from one hand to the other to equal
ize the wear on both sides and also
obviates the necessity of furnishing
a full pair of gloves to replace the
loss of one, one glove only being fur
nished to replace the lost one. The
exact appearance of one glove may
be obtained by observing the shape
of the open hand pressed on a fiat
surface with fingers slightly separ-
ated.

Rev. F. A. Weaver.
Reclaim Homes for u. S. Sol
diers.

Washington, Nov. ia number
Of the Southern states, notably South
Carolina and Tennessee, are vitally
interested in the proposed project to
reclaim and put to use their waste
and unemployed lands, for there are
millions of acres in these states which
the government might take over and
20 reclaim and improve as to make
them of inestimable value to the SOL
diers after the war who must be pro-
vided with homes.
Already Secretary Lane, as has
been previously announced, has
agreed to inspect the waste lands of
South Carolina with view to consid-
ering them in his plan of reclamation
for the provision Of homes for SOL
diers after the war. Of course it
would be out of the question for the
government to take over all the
waste lands in the United States for
the purposes indicated, but if Secre-
tary Lanes proposition should meet
the approval of Congress and of the
president, when the time comes to
mature it, a great deal of the unused
lands in the Southern States will
probably be employed for the pur-
pose indicated, and it is well that this
unproductive property should be
brought to the attention of those who
have the matter in hand.
Secretary Lane announces that the
preparation of program looking to
providing farms for returned soldiers
has been given into the hands of A.
P. Davis, director and chief engineer
of the reclamation service, who will
have general charge of the work, and
with whom will be associated Elwood
Mead, H. T. Cory and Frank w.
Hanna.
"We can have a job at good salary
for every soldier who returns from
France" says Secretary Lane, "if con
gress will give us the financial sup
port needed. And while at work the
soldier can be making home for him
self, for which he can pay the gov
ernment in 40 years time. This plan
has received the endorsement of SO
large a percentage of congress and
the press of the country, that it ap-
pears to be probable program; it
certainly is a practicable one. We
have but 100000 now for prelimi-
nary surveys and reports but this will
be increased no doubt by the coming
congress. There is enough waste and
undeveloped land in this country to
give every soldier farm, but, OF
course, no such program is contem,
plated, because all would not want

Thanksgiving Hints.

Mr.. Editor:
Please let me have space in your
paper to say a few words about
Thanksgiving Day.
We have been blessed with fine
crops and fire prices for the same
The good Lord has sent rain and
sunshine and blessed US with g boun-
tiful success. Although our hearts
have been saddened by wars and
sickness and death, mothers and kin
dred sit in silence, praying, waiting,
listening and hearing the death bell
from yonder land, telling of depart
ed loved ones. May the Lord bless all
of their homes with peace and pros
perity.
When the armistice was signed the
people in part made great noise.
That was the time we all should have
given thanks unto God for hearing
our prayers and sparing the lives of
the remainder Of the men that were
left on the battle field.
We have wandered away from God
and that is the cause of wars and
pestilence through the land today.
Unless we all get right with God this
is just the beginning of sorrow. There
is way that seems right unto man
but the end thereof are the ways of
death.
"Oh, give thanks unto the Lord for
his mercy endureth forever" We
should thank our heavenly Father
for having the right man in the right
place in this crisis.
May the good Lord bless the Red
Cross workers all over the land.
"Blessed are the merciful for they
shall obtain mercy" May God Bless
the loyal-hearted men and women
and children who have responded to
the call of the government for safe
democracy throughout the land. "Oh
give thanks unto the Lord for his
wonderful works among the sons of
men" We who are spared to see
Thanksgiving Day should make it one
of the greatest days in history. 1 don't
think a gun ought to be fired that
day. We ought to open our churches
and give thanks unto God for what
He has done for US and pray for the
removal of the epidemic of influenza
that, continues to bring sorrow into
our homes. We should pray for the
safe return of our boys who are left
on the battlefield and pray for the
orphans and widows and others who
have been bereft of loved ones by
wars and diseases.
Please let us all attend church that
day as never before. Those who can't
go, have family prayer at your homes.
Yours for the cause,
Rev. F. A. Weaver.

Two More Months To Buy
Plenty of Coal Now.

4 Only 20 per cent of the people of To
peka have laid in their winter supply OF
coal.
/ At least so per cent of the residents. OF
the city should have their bins full if a
serious shortage is to be avoided this
Coal burning will begin within sixty
days.
There is time between now and the first
OF November for the lacking 80 per cent
Plenty of coal is on hand in Topeka to
supply the city before the first of Novem-
Der.
The above outstanding facts tell the
story of the winter coal situation in
| Topeka today.
| C. H. Danner Shawnee county fuel
| administrator, in a warning to the res
idents of the city today, gave Topeka
an opportunity to avoid this winter a
| shortage of fuel that would cause in
| tense suffering and necessitate rigid
| and drastic restrictions thruout the
city.
| Despite the repeated warnings from
the local administrator and from the
| national administration thru newspa-
| pers, bill poster and moving picture
1 displays, Topekans have allowed the
summer heat to lure them from the
| winter preparations.
Last year when the summer season
ended and the demand was begun for
small coal deliveries only per cent of
| the residents of the city had coal in
their bins for winter consumption.
This year, altho the coal supply nee
| essarily will be shorter and the de-
mands greater, due to war industry or
deSs the people have added but 20 per
cent to the summer purchases.
Must Buy Coal Now.
I'VE have been appealing to the
people with tears in our eyes" Fuel
| Administrator Danner said today, but
We find that only 20 per cent Of the
appeals have borne fruit.
"Of course realize" he continued,
that there are thousands of families,
their winter supply now. On the
other hand there is a majority that is
able. This majority should, by all
| means. lay in the coal now that the
retailers Of Topeka will be able to
supply the small orders without delay
this winter. 1t is right up to the peo-
pie OF Topeka who, can afford q win
| ter's coal supply to buy. now. They
owe 1t to their families, to the fam
lies Of the poor and to their govern
ment. There is no excuse for delay
Manager Fellows of the Jackson
walker company estimated today that
only 10 per cent of the people had
bought coal.
I'VE have been delivering lots of
it." he said, but on the other hand
we have found it necessary to cancel
! orders recently owing to the lack of
purchasers. We have plenty of coal
now and plenty of men and equipment
to deliver it. In sixty days the coal
burning season will open. In that
period the dealers in Topeka would be
able to supply enough fuel to take
care of SO per cent of the consumption
here. But the orders must come in
quickly. If they don't we are facing
winter problem that cannot be
solved"
Other dealers report plenty of fuel
on hand but scarcity OF orders. They
all fear the coming of the winter
months unless the early orders are
sent in.
