"GET TANLAC, A FRIEND TOLD

Declares. SHOW Rid OIL
My Troubles"

For 2S years, more than quart
er of a century, F E Palmer, OF No
7 Elizabeth St, Binghampton, n Y,
has been valued employee OF the
Wells Fargo Express Company, and
a man with a record like that has,
of course, proved his ability and in
tegrity beyond question.
This is the sort of man whose en-
dorsement is worth a great deal and
it is a matter of pride that men OF
this calibre endorse Tanlac.
Il feel just like good friend felt
for mel want to help the other
fellow who may be suffering" Mr.
Palmer said, and that is the spirit
which moves such men and women.
They want others to share their
good fortune.
For the last six years | have
felt myself slipping from the path
of health" he continued. In
digestion and cattarh had attacked
me. My appetite became poor, my
food did not taste right and would
suffer after eating. l grew nervous
and was getting run down. did
not feel we'll and would get up feel
ing achy and dull. l knew it
would not do for me to keep on
feeling that way. Get Tanlac,' a
friend told me, and took his tip.
Now I am different man. l don't
have to fight off worries and little
ills. | am entirely well OF my
troubles. l don't feel any more in
digestion and my catarrh has disap-
peared. can eat anything with
out fear of it hurting me. My
sleep could not be better. Tanlac
has done the work for me and |
give my statement now to others.
Get on the Tanlac Special and start
for Wellville, tell them.
For themselves, the well known
men and women who endorse Tan
lac would not talk, but the bond of
sympathy between such people is
strong. Once relieved themselves,
they want others to know OF this
reconstructive, system purifier and
stomach tonic which, because of its
record, is called the Master Medi-
cine.
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kings
tree; Mallard Lumber Co, Greely-
vile; Farmers Drug Co, Heming-
way; S 5 Aronson, Lane; R P Hin

BERLIN SUFFERS
GREATEST MISERY
SITUATION IN GERMAN CAPITAL
IS NOW DESCRIBED AS BEING
"ABSOLUTELY AWFUL"

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL"
A London dispatch to The New
York World says: An observer at
first hand who left Germay in the
middle of December, and for whose
trustworthiness the Morning Post
vouches. gives an amazing account
of conditions in Berlin. both eco
nomic and political.
The situation in Berlin, he said,
is absolutely, awful. For the great
mass of the population there is
hardly any light, warmth, clothing
or shoes, and an appalling lack of
food.
The work of the city is carried
on by decrepit men and women. re-
duced to nearly the same condition.
On one occasion | saw a coal cart
with a Russian prisoner in the dri-
ver's seat and four women literally
in rags carrying bags of coal into a
house.
The linen worn by both sexes is
abominably dirty, for there is no
soap.
There is intensely bitter feeling
among the people against the gov
ernment, and there would be a re-
volt, only, as the people are always
saying, Women can't make revo-
luton The government knows
this and forbids the return to Berlin
of able-bodied men, and officers are
allowed to return only in exceptional
circumstances.
"Von Hindenberg is loathed by
the people of Berlin. Placards with
his picture appealing for subscrip-
tons to the loans were torn down,
although they were not touched in
South Germany.
''All over Berlin notices are post
ed offering 5000 marks NORMALLY
$3.50 to any one informing against
persons criticis;ng the government,
the Emperor, the war or officers.
THE population of Berlin is divid-
ed roughly into three classes. The
upper military class, which adores
Hindenberg and hates Ludendorff;
the middle class, which loves Luden-
dorff because he gives high posts in
the army to Jews. who are making
vast sums out of the war. and the
lower working class. which loathes
Hindenburg, Ludendorff and especi-
ally the Emperor and ridicules the
Crown Prince numerically. Other
wise nobody mentions the imperial
family, which has ceased to be a
dominant factor.
The we'll to do get along fairly
comfortably, because the necesaries
are purchasable at fabulous sums.
A ham costs $50. A special restau-
rant dinner for three, costing $40,
consisted of warm water soup, some
tiny fishes, a fragment of some sort
of meat, a few carrots, a piece Of
turnip and an uneatabie pudding.
News is circulated secretly
among the officers that a recent fire
or explosion in the, Krupp Works
destroyed $50 new airplanes.
THE officers know that the Turks
are utterly sick OF war.
Everything is being moved west.
Double rails are being laid wher-
ever possible, creating the hope that
food may come from Russia.
From Berlin to Basile, including
a whole night on the train, there
was neither light, heat, food nor
drink of any sort obtainable.'

SOIL SURVEY OF
COUNTY FINISHED
E. G. StrahOrn and Assistants Com
plete the Work of Securing Soil
Samples in the Irrigated Region
South Of the Third Standard Par
allel.

E. G. Strahorn, connected with the
U. S. soil investigation forces, today
finished the work of collecting sam
Piles of soil in. every locality-in- the
irrigated portion of the Valley south
of the Third Standard. The survey
also extended to the beach line on
both sides of the Valley.
The work of testing the samples,
making a soil map and compiling a
comprehensive report will require
two years time, according to Professor
Strahorn.
The soil expert reiterates the re-
port of former soil experts to the eff
feet that the soil area of the valley
is very variable as regards alkali and
fertility.

ENEMY IS ACTIVE
ALONG BORDER

Notwithstanding the suppression of
all telephone communication between
the United States and Mexico and the
order forbidding the carrying of any
written or printed communications
from the United States into Mexico,
outside the United States, government
officials yesterday conceded that Ger
man agents are still making extensive
use of the border for carrying on
propaganda work and forwarding in
formation concerning American mill
tary activities to the Wilhelmstrasse.
The problem of preventing commu'
ncations from passing back and
forth across the border is most per-
picking one, Collector of Customs John
B. Elliott admitted
To enforce the order strictly, it
would be necessary, he said, to search
every one of the five thousand per-
sons who daily cross the line between
San Diego and Yuma. This is mani
festly impossible with the limited
force of customs officials available.

The Pomona Episcopal church re-
Gently rendered Rev. MIR. Barnes the
pulpit of that church, but Imperial
Valley people made such a protest
that the call was withdrawn. There
is no question but what Father Barnes
is one of the hardest working and
brainiest churchmen who has ever
talked to Imperial Valley cOngrega-
tions. and his going will be a matter
of great regret.

GOV. STEPHENS
ISSUES LETTER
Red Cross Proclamation.

By Gov. w. d. Stephens of California
The American Red Cross has been
we'll named "The Greatest Mother in
the World" 1t is founded upon the
spirit of absolute unselfishness and
self sacrifice and in miniStering to
stricken world it carries into daily
practice the endless patience and un-
bounded sympathy of the mother for
her children. 1t brings comfort and
rest to suffering humanity the world
over. 1t takes unto its beneficent
bosom the sick and wounded, the
homeless and starving and breathes
into them new life and strength.
The first war fund raised a year
ago has been expended in relief work
among the countries devastated by the
war, in equipping our own army and
navy base hospitals, and other neces-
sary war relief and preparation. We
are-from May 20 to May 27, inclu-
sive-asked to contribute another one
hundred million dollars.
No one who loves his country can
hesitate to give to such a cause and
when we give let us remember that
the amount we give may determine
whether or not the ones we love will
lie wounded, suffering and unattend-
ed, or be gathered up into merciful
arms and "The Greatest Mother in
the World"
1t is my earnest hope that the con-
tribution California makes will be
demonstration of the deep appreeia-
tion which we all feel for the work
of the American Red Cross.
