Get. YOUR PLACE
Effort Being Made To Avoid
Confusion in Drive.
Publicity Assignments for To-
night Are Announced.

Some little confusion was caused at
the first mobilization of the country
campaigners Monday night, principal
ly because it seemed that the various
speakers, auto drivers and musicians
did not understand the instructions.
According to the plans worked out
by the publicity committee of the
united war work drive, it is absolutely
necessary for every man to know just
what he is to do and to what car sec
ton he is assigned. 1t is equally nee
essary that every man scheduled to go
on the trips be at the mobilization
point at the booth on the south side of
West Eighth street at o'clock in the
evening. Each person should imme-
diately report to the committee at the
booth and then without loss of time
seek out his car section and take a
seat in one of the cars.
The committee has asked that this
program be followed out in the mo-
bilizations of speakers and cars to-
hight and tomorrow night, so that .ne
persons attending the country meet
ing may not be kept waiting while the
speakers and the singers AID the au-
tomobiles are being sorted out and
sent on their way.
The assignments of automobiles.
speakers and musicians are published
every day in the State Journal. To-
nights assignments are given on

The diplomatic gallery was filled
and among those present was Ameri-

empty seats were those marked by the
tricoloF and crepe which designated
the sacrifice of member who had
given his life in the service of his

to be gone completely. l would often
go all day without feeling the least
bit hungry and just rad to force down
what little 1 did eat. 1 would bloat
UP so from the gas Cn my stomach
that l would have to let my belt out
two or three inches. 1 always had
heavy distressed feeling after eating
and was constantly belchinS up sour
gas and undigested food. L would
have a feeling in the pit of my Stom-
acn as if my food had lodged trere
and formed hard lump. Sometimes
1 would have such terrible pains about
my stomach that 1 would almost
double up. They reminded me OF what
they used to call cramp collie, which L
had when just kid and ate things that
failed to agree with me. l was badly
constipated. my liver never seemed TO
be working at all and L was yellow
as a pumpkin all the time. l also had
a very disa greeable taste in my mouth
and my breath was very bad. After
working for an hour or so L would
get so tagged out that l just felt like
going home and piling up in bed
couldn't sleep except IN a doZe-never
got a good nights rest-and would get
up in the mornings feeling half dead
and NOPE off to work without eating
a bite of breakfast.
My medicine bills amounted to sew

chance on Tanlac helping me and it
certainly has put me on my feet. L am
just now on my fourth bottle and am
not only feeling better than 1 have
in years, but have actually gained
thirteen pounds in weight besides.
My appetite is fine now and 1 can eat
three hearty meals day-breakfast be-
ing one of my best-and every sign of
stomach trouble and Indigestion has
disappeared. And again, 1 always feel
nourished and strengthened after eat
ing in place of feeling depressed and
miserable as 1 did before. 1 am not
constipated any, more, the bad taste
is gone and my color has cleared up
My kidneys never bother me any more

LEAVES THE C. OF C.
L. c. kirkpatrick Resigns as Score
tary of Big Organization.

After one year of service as secre-
tary of the Topeka Chamber of Com
merce, Theron c. Kirkpatrick rendered
his resignation to the board of direc-
tors of the institution. The resignation
was accepted and will take effect De-
cember 1. kirkpatrick has announced
that he will re-enter the service of the
SantaFe.
Kirkpatrick's tenure of office as
secretary of the Topeka Chamber of
Commerce has marked the only year
in which the organization has come to
the end of the year without facing a
huge deficit in it's finances. This is
largely due to the system of account
ing introduced by him when he first
took over the office. Kirkpatrick
leaves for his successor an institution,
from the secretary's point of view,
which is clean and uncluttered with
out a muddled series of accounts and
jun bled minutes.
The resignation of G. E. Bascom as
member of the board of directors of
the Chamber Of Commerce was ten
dered at the meeting Monday and was
not accepted, as the Chamber of Com
merce has not made it a practice to
accept the designations of men enter
ing war work. Bascom is in the Red
