Ill 21 Since June to Register Aug, "a
Washington, Aug. 14.-Registra-
tion on Saturday August "a, of all
youths who have reached the age of
q, since the second registration last
June S, was ordered today by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, under a
proclamation by the president.
The purpose is to add quickly to
the almost exhausted class 1, to meet
army draft calls in September.
About 100000 young men will reg
lister. Most Of them will qualify for
class l and, therefore, will join the
army probably within month after
Chelf names are recorded.
President Wilson's proclamation
excerpts the territories of Alaska,
Hawaii and Porto Rico from the
registration temporarily, but a later
day will be fixed for these. Only men
in the armed service are exempted
from registration.
1t was announced that the suggest
ed date, September 5, would not be
the day for the registration of men
from 18 to 45, even if congress passes
the bill in time, because several of
the larges states in the union hold
primary elections on that date.
There will be no new drawing to
establish the order of liability of the
new registrants. The provost mar
/ shal generals office announced to-
night that the 1000 numbers drawn
for the June 5th registrants would
be sufficient to cover the August "a
registration in the largest district in
the country.

.BREAKMAN'S WIFE

Mrs. John Reichelt, 800 South
Broad street, Mt. Pleasant. is good
example of what Tanlac will do.
Tanlac is endorsed by the Wilkinson
Drug Co., for stomach. kidney, and
liver Ills.
Mrs. Reichelt, whose husband is a
brakeman on the local c. B. & @.
train running between Keokuk and
Mt. Pleasant, recently called at the
Wilkinson drug store and related
the following experiences:
II suffered with stomach trouble
and indigestion for years. I had TAX
en- many remedies but nothing helped
me, like Tanlac. When I started to
take it ! couldn't eat meal without
suffering afterwards. Gas formed
and made me miserable
Gwen my nerves were beginning
to be affected, I was so nervous that
I could not sleep soundly. A few
doses Of Tanlac made me feel little
better. And as I continued to take
it I kept growing stronger. l used
to feel tired all OF the time but now
l am as lively as can be. I'm 100
per cent better in every way. l get
up in the mornings full Of life and

PLANTS CONE
FROM ROCKIES.
Medicinal Properties Of Great Value
Discovered by
Experiments.
BIG AMOUNT USED
IN MAKING TANLAC
New Preparation Is Attracting Wide
spread Attention Throuohout
tho Country-Scores
Endorse Hore.

High In the Rocky Mountains en-
plorers have discovered plants that
have such medicinal properties that
they are a valuable asset to any ma
ton. Thousands in every state OF
the union have already been beno-
fitted by their use.
Although these plants have been
growing for years 1t remained for
the great Tanlac laboratories to pro-
mote their use and place them within
easier reach OF all mankind.
BY series of experiments 1t was
ascertained that the juice OF herbs
valuable tonic properties. The MAX
ers of Tanlac have combined those
tonic properties with those Of plants
from other countries In order to
produce a medicine of wide merit for
family use.
Rivers and Forests.
From along the river Nile are I'm.
ported leaves recognized for their in
fluence upon the liver. From the
great pine forests are gathered sub
stances for relieving catarrh. From
the frozen regions OF the north come
those for digestion. The natives In
these countries are known to be-
able to digest fats that would send q
dweller of a temperate zone TO an
early grave, victim OF acute dys-
pepsia.
From the West Indies and tropics
come harmless Ingredients that sooth
the nerves, even as Nature has
soothed them with continuous sun
shine.
The experience told by people Nv
ing right here in Keok,lk where each
and every statement may be verified
should convince the most skeptical
that Tanlac is a remedy OF merit.
Under the building up treatment
which Tanlac offers. a healthy diges.
ton is promoted, the nerves ara
strengthened and thus many persons
have rid themselves OF enjoying
troubles.

ing story relative to how Tanlac re-
lieved her sister, Mrs. Nora Wharton.
who lives at s4s Washington street,
Burlington.
MY sister had stomach trouble.
She had scarcely any appetite and
complained after eating the most
healthy foods such as meat and cab
bage. She couldn't touch pastry.
"She grew SO nervous that the
ticking OF the clock annoyed her.
She hardly had enough energy to
drag herself around. was delight
ed to receive word from her which
stated that she felt much better. She
says that Tanlac relieved her troIl-
bles."

Tanlac is doing all over the state Of

Building-up for the Spring Attack

the body in condition for an invasion
of the germs of grip, pneumonia or
&c Spring fever" here at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a. condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes vpimply" or pale, skin and
white lips. The reason for this is that
during the wintertime, shut up with
in doors, eating too much meat and
too little green vegetables, one heaps
fuel into the system which is not burned
up and the clinkers remain to poison
the system "a clogging up OF the
circulation with inactive liver and kid

For an invigorating tonic which will
clarity the blood, put new life in the
body, sparkle to the eyes, and a
wholesome skin, nothing does go well

Golden Seal root, Blood and Stone

By reason of the nerves feeding on

cause such pain is the cry of the starved
nerves for food. When suffering from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired feeling, the simple way
to overcome these disorders is merely to

AS anybody who has stomach trouble

and dizzy spells.

Food With stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets,

Most Of us eat three times day
and often forget that each meal should
be disposed of in the stomach to make
room for the next. The failure Of the
stomach to do this Is called indiges-
ton or dyspepsia, with its sour risings,
gas. rumblings, pain, depression and
the feeling Of stufineess when breath
ing is difficult.
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because you can
get it at any drug store in the United
States or Canada, is Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, at SO cents box. Instead
of depriving yourself Of food or going
on q starvation diet, simply keep on
as you have and let these tablets
straighten out your stomach, digest
the food and keep you in the fight.
