PEOPLE OF EAST
MACEDONIA ARE
DISSATISFIED
Greeks and Serbians Who Sui.

Demand BuIgarianS
Be Crushed.

Saloniki, Nov. 22.-(Correspond-
ence Of The Associated Press y
Greeks and Serbians in eastern
Macedonia, who suffered pillage,
persecution, deportation and MUIR:
der at the hands of Bulgars before
the armies of the former King Fer.
dinand quit the country under the
terms of an armistice, are exhibit
ing dissatisfaction over what they
term the indulgence of the entente
powers toward Bulgaria.
With fully $4,000 of their number
deported, half of whom, it is be-
lieved, died under the hardships i'm
posed upon them, the Macedonian
natives are demanding, according
to Reuter- correspondent who
toured the liberated territory, that
the Bulgarians be crushed by tradi-
tional Balkan methods. During the
period of occupation the Bulgariaps
proved themselves "brutes and past
master in acts of spoilaton and vio-
lence,' said the correspondent, and
when appeals for relief were made
to the German authorities no atten-
ton was paid to them.
Entering Macedonia as friends.
under an understanding with former
King Constantine of Greece, the
Bulgarians established a reign of
terror, which has been characterized
as disgrace to civilization. They
imposed upon the population a ra
tioning system which RESULTED in
the starvation of many, following
with assessments of taxes and seiz-
ure of provisions to an extent that
impoverished the country. Then fol-
lowed wholesale executions aud
crimes against men, women and
girls of the most revolving charac-
ter, the survivors declared. At Sores
only 5000 persons remain of $4,000
living in the city when the Greeks
turned it over to the >Bulgars. The
population of Demir Hassir fell
from 1000 to $500, and in Kavala
5000 to 5000 persons died of star
vation alone in 1917, while in 1916
deaths numbered 80 a day, largely
IRON malnutrition. In these and
smaller cities the Bulgars not only
conhscated the bulk of the food
stuffs, but forced the ablebodied in
habltants to work for the invaders
and carried away vast quantities of
agricultural implements and furni-
ture.
Joy in Macedonia over the with
drawal of the Bulgars is exhibited
by inscriptions on many street cor
ners reading, "Christor Anesti,"
Christ is Risen), while the Hellenic
army of liberation is received every
where with enthusiastic acclaim.

Farmer Says It
Beats Anything \
He Has Ever Seen
Saws TanIac Is Just the Thing
10 Rid Folks Of Rheuma-
tism and Buhd
Them Up.

"Tanlac is the only thing that
ever did my wife any good during
the ten wears of her trouble" said
William T. Masters of Mondamin,
Iowa, while in Omaha a few days
ago. IT, .at
Mr.. Masters is one of the best
known and most substantial farm
ers in Harrison county, and no man
in that section is more generally
liked and respected. =.
"Ten years ago." he continued,
"mv wife began to have her flrst
trouble. Her stomach got out OF
fix all at once, somehow, and she
rot SO she couldn't eat thing with
out it soured on her stomach. Then
gas would form so bad she would
get all bloated up, and she would be
nauseated and miserable for hours,
and nearly every time this hap
pened she would wind up with a
bad spell of headache. She was
badly constipsted most of the time,
and often would have dizzy spells
and be afraid to walk for fear OF
falling.
"She also had rheumatism mighty
bad in both her legs, and the pam
she suffered from that was enough
TO kill her. With all these troubles
on her, she almost went down to
nothing, she lost 38 pounds and
got so weak and worn out that she
couldn't do her homework.
"Finally we heard about Tanlac,
and thought that it might do hei
some good, so l bought some of il
and started my wife on it, and
want to say right here and now
that believe this Tanlac is the
finest medicine in the world fol
building folks up and getting rio
If rheumatism. Why, my wife /:
lust like a new woman out and out
You never saw such an appetite II
your life as she has now. She eat
as much as she pleases and it never
hurts her one bit. She never doe
have those awful pains from rheu
natism, and that stomach trouble il
all gone. In fact, she is building
up faster than anybody you eve
saw. She does all her work by her
self now, and feels good all tn
time. She has gained eight pound
already.
"Just to show you how she ha
come up, and how good she feel
all the time; when our corn husk
ing time come on this fall, shestool
particular pride in being able to d
her share of the husking, apd sh
did just as much as any of US, toe
