A GREENVILLE MAN
Declares He Found Tanlac Fine Medi-
cine and Says He Gladly Recon-
mends 1t

Regarding the great relief Tanlac
gave him from stomach trouble, which
after five years developed into pella-
gra, F. S. Crumley, of No. 8, Bum
combe St., Greenville, gave the follow
ing statement: 81 suffered from stom-
ach trouble about five years and it
run into pellagra. l spent several
weeks at a Government pellagra
hospital at Spartanburg, but after
l came home what l ate continued to
hurt me. Gas formed on my stomach
and l had pains in my abdomen. My
appetite was not good, and l could not
rest well at night.
81 began to take Tanlac, and it soon
corrected my stomach trouble. In a
couple of days l could tell big diff
ference. My food was digested, gas
stopped forming on my stomach and
those pains left me. The Tanlac soon
got me so could eat as much as any
one, my nerves were quieted and be-
gan to sleep soundly at night.
"Tanlac is fine medicine for stom-
ach trouble, and am glad to recon-
mend it to all with such ailments"

II return with a sense of pride and
confidence at the achievements of the
United States and allied troops
abroad that would justify many trips
across the water"
An Atlantic Port, April 1e.-Src.
retary Baker returned to America to-
day, after a journey to Europe in-
PEELED by his desire to confer with
British, French and Italian military
political leaders regarding our coun-
try's cooperation in the war and by
his wish also to become intimately
acquainted with the American troops
under arms in France. On this un-
precented mission the secretary was
out of the country about six weeks.
81 return with sense of pride
and confidence at the achievements of
the United States and allied troops
abroad that would justify may trips
across the water" the secretary said
as he stepped aboard train which
will take him to Washington. This
was the only statement the secretary
would make until he returned to
Washington. Those who returned
with the secretary said they did not
doubt but that they reflected Mr..
Bakers feelings when they said that
there was complete optimism and
confidence among the peoples of the
entente nations that the war would
be won.
Apparently in perfect physical
trim, with color in his cheeks and
eager to plunge into his duties at
Washington, the secretary stepped
ashore at $3.50 o'clock this morning
from the deck of a ship which once
sailed the seas as German merchant
men.
Accompanying the secretary were
Major General w. M. Black, chief
of engineers, Col. M. l.. Brett, ord
nance department.; and Ralph Hayes
Mr.. Bakers private secretary.
Questions asked of the secretary
by newspaper men remained un-
answered. "Not word," he said, in
reply to queries as to his opinion
regarding the Irish situation, and
craft production and the appeal Of
Arthur j. Balfour, the British foreign
secretary of the United States t o
hurry troops to France. GAIL I can
say is what ! have given you.n the

souri,. 81 must express my deep re-
gret," he said.
The secretary returned to America
on one of the largest steamships
which flew the German flag before
the United States entered the war.
"Our party got in at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning." the secretary said.
"Just as soon as / can find a train
with seat in it 1 am going to start
for Washington"
Historical Journey
Mr.. Baker said he would be pre-
pared to discuss later his historical
voyage which took him to England and
France where he conferred with the
entente war leaders, military and po-
litical and General Pershing, and as
sembled military facts which he will
present to President Wilson.
The secretary left American shores
about six weeks ago arriving at a
French port on March 10. At Paris
he conferred with Arthur ]. Balfour,
British foreign secretary and Gem
eral Foch of the French army. The
great engineering feats which Ameri-
cans have accomplished to accomo-
date the accumulating arrival Of
American soldiers in France were in
spccted by the secretary.

River Falls Easily
Defeats Eau Claire

The Normal easily defeated Eau
Claire Normal here Friday night by
a score of 81 to Z.
The first half was rather slow.
Eau Claire seldom took the ball past
the middle of the floor and resorted
entirely to a five man defense. The
locals couldn't get going in true
form; Reed and Kreuger did most of
the scoring. The half ended 20 to 3
for River Falls.
In the second half the Fails"
came back in true form. They ran
wild over the Eau Claire boys. Reed
and Kreuger dropped the ball
through the loop at will and Hawley
went down the floor several times to
score. With eight minutes left to
play. Coach Swenson put in four
new men who carried the game
through in good style.

Children Buy
Thrift Stamps

River Falls has given emphatic
testimony of her loyalty on many
occasions. She declared this in a
monster demonstration last spring.
She purchased Liberty bonds. She
is saving food. Her people are say
ing coal. She over subscribed her
7. M. C. A. and her Red Cross ap-
portionments.'
Her sons have gone into the
armies in numbers. Those who have
not gone will conduct the farms and
will plant an increased acreage. The
young men of the Normal school are
not slackers. They earn their school
expenses and buy Liberty bonds.
They spend play time in helping
farmers harvest crops and help win
the war with food.
These things are all commendable,
but they are overshadowed by the
success of the War Saving stamps
drive that is now being made.
The funds invested in these stamps
are not money transferred from a
private bank account to that of the
government They are, instead,
nickels and dimes saved-saved from
money given to students to be spent
for candy and ice cream saved
from money earned by splitting
wood-saved from money earned by
selling old rubber and invested with
the government to help win the
war"
Nor were the funds earned by
those sufficiently large to have earn
ed the money invested. On the
other hand the best showing made
at this writing has been made by the
students of fifth and sixth grades of
the Normal Model School This
school sold stamps totaling $3.50.
At the time the Journal went to
press the total sales amounted to a
trife more than $4,000 and the fund
is still growing.
This paper will report the progress
of the sales from week to week.

success of the play was fine tribute
to the talent Of each member of the
cast and to Miss Williams as the di-
rector.
Each actor was perfect in his or
her part and the large audience eX-
parienced the same easy and thor

though it had been staged by expert
professionals. The following actors
took part: Edwin Preston, Miles
Badger, Grin Gudmunson, Melvin
Thompson, Delos Krauth, Robert
Scott. Ellen Currier, Dorothy Ham

Between acts the audience was de-
entertained by quintet

by Julian Smith.
The proceeds which went to the

to about 500.

Severe Penalty for
boarding Food Stuffs

1t is now permissible to purchase
potatoes as substitute for wheat
flour in the proportion of four
pounds of potatoes to one of wheat
flour.
Dealers in poultry and eggs are
prohibited from purchasing live or
freshly killed hens or pullets be-
tween Feb. 18th, 1918. and April
Goth, 1918. This does not prevent
the purchase, shipment or sale OF
live hens or pullets for egg produc-
ton purposes. The government is
urging upon the people the necessi-
ty Of producing as many eggs as pos
sible during the laying season.
The government has announced
that all citizens are expected to have
on hand not more than 80 days sup
ply of -four. This means that no
matter when the -four was purchas-
ed, any surplus over 80 day supply
should be returned to the store from
which it was obtained. The penalty
for boarding is severe Five thous.
and dollars fine and two years in
prison
The Food Administration is invest
igating the stores of flour in differ
ent towns throughout the state and
announces that if necessary they
will visit every town in the state un-
til no citizen has more than 80 day
supply Of flour, sugar, or other ne
cessities in his home. Purchasers of
excessive supplies will be first asked
to return the surplus over a thirty
day supply, as patriotic duty. In
cases where this request is not com
piled with, possible prosecution will
follow.

4th Annual Basket
Ball Tournament

The Fourth Annual Basket ball
Tournament for the high schools in
the St. Croix Valley will be held at
the Normal school, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, March Z, s, and
9th. The winner in this tournament
will represent the River Falls dist
riot in the State Basket ball Tourna-
ment at Stevens Point March 81, %
and 23rd.
Each Normal school in the state is
conducting similar sectional tour
naments. This seems the best basis
to determine state champion.
The playing floor, time of halves,
officials and other conditions will be
uniform, which conditions are a
serious handicap when playing on
local floors.
The school winning place will be
awarded a championship trophy.
Members of teams winning first
second and third places will be
awarded gold, silver and bronze
watch fobs Winner of fourth place
will receive the ball used in the
tournament.
Indications are that this will be
the biggest and most holly contest
ed tournament that we have ever
held. Cumberland, Clear Lake, New
Richmond, Hudson, St. Croix Falls.
Baldwin, Elmwood, Ellsworth and
River Falls have signifed their in
tention of entering teams. Ham
mond, Spring Valley and Osceola
are other possibilities.
No team will be eliminated from
the tournament until they have lost
two games.
This will provide a schedule of
from II to Is games.
A season ticket will be sold for
rs cents.
1t will be serious proposition to
entertain from 8 to 10 teams in the
city. The plan is to have one or two
homes to provide rooms ard head
quarters for team. Other places
will be found for roomers that you
now have. Anyone having rooms
for boys call Prof. Swenson, tel. 44C.
