 My miserable condition had almost turned me into nervous wreck. I had terrible pains all through my chest and a pressure around my heart from gas that arose in my stomach which nearly choked me. I couldn't eat a thing that wouldn't sour in my stomach, and had sharp pains through my back and sides that would nearly drive me distracted All the money spent for medicine was thrown away, and the only relief I could get from my pain was by blistering my self
 My friends urged me to try Tanlac and 1t has just made new person of me. The pains are entirely gone from my chest and back and sides and never have sign of indigestion The gas has stopped forming in my ston- ach, my complexion has cleared up, I can eat anything I want without trouble I sleep well at night and feel well all the time"

 made to confectioners and manufactur-

 The 50 per cent allotment to which
 confectioners were limited when the
 sugar shortage became acute In Octo-
 Der. will be increased to 80 per cent
 when the supply again becomes nor
 nal. it was announced, but continu- ance of this ratio will depend upon the efforts of manufacturers to reduce the sugar content of confectionery and soft drinks by substituting other sweetening materials.
 Through a misunderstanding, food administration officials in New York last week announced that refiners al- ready had been instructed to increase the allotment to confectioners to 50
 per cent and that the full prewar al- tions had returned to normal It was explained tonight that the maximum allotment would be 80 per cent of nor nal and that all manufacturers would be required to reduce the sugar con tent of their products as far as pos- sible

THE ABSOLUTE EDEPENDABILITY l OF GAS SERVICE has been estab- lshed beyond question or doubt. The conuenence of this service has long been recognized as the happy medium between lux ury and drudgery
 In the present fuel crisis we have all suffered, but those of us having gas service have suffered much less than those who were forced to de- pend on the uncertain delivery, and unrelia- bity in action, of other fuels
 The unprecedented demand for gas at this time is proof beyond contradiction that our claims for gas have been fully substantiated. In the coming year, as well as the years to come, you will do well to have gas service in your home There is no more convenient fuel; no more dependable fuel; no more reliable service, than that which we offer.

SWEDISH PEOPLE
MAKING SPIRITS
So Widespread Is the Practice That the
Police Make Little Effort to Catch
Those Who Distill for Pi-
vate Use.

Stockholm, Aug. 22.- Correspondence
of the Associated Press When two
friends encounter each other in Sweden,
says current jest, they no longer greet
each other with the usual Good day.
How goes itfn Instead they say: Good
day. How is the fermentation getting
alongg"
The reference is to the jar containing
mixture OF water, sugar and yeast
which each assumes the other to have
standing in a warm corner of his house,
preparatory to distilling his own spirits.
The jest Of course exaggerates condl'
tions, but there is more than enough
truth in 1t to justify it, For home-dis-
tilling hourishes in Sweden.
From laboring men to lawyer, there
is no. class where one can not find men
who are able to discuss the advantages
of this or that method Of making the
SOUP" as the basic liquid is techni-
cally termed, of the best apparatus for
distilling or how to cleanse the product
from flsel oil and Of favoring methods.
So widespread, indeed, is the practice
that the police make apparently little or
no effort to find and punish violators, ex-
cept such as distill for sale. These are
punished sharply if found.
The incentive to home-distilling is the
manner in which the sale Of distilled liq-
uors has been restricted, due to the
shortage Of grains, sugar beets and po-
tatoes The allowance has been cut to
two quarts each three months Before
the war 1t was a quart each week,
There is q suspicion IN some quarters
that the present restrictions are need
lessly severe and in part dictated by
prohibitionist sentiment. Swedes win
not suffer dictation even by majority
in matters Of food and drink The re-
suit Ii home. distilling.
A further result of the restriction as
to distilled liquor and Of the fact that
the only beer obtainable in Sweden to-
day has an alcohol content Of less than
E11a per cent has been to make a mot
box or passbook emitting the owner
to purchase spirits, very valuable pos
session. The fortunate holder can sell
his rights in ii for the year for the
equivalent Of Sl34, and bottle Of ordi-
nary whiskey which can be sold for the

CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT.
American Soldiers Thought Parliament
Building Was Afre.

London, Aug. ga group Of Amer,
can soldiers called out the fire depart.
ment Of the borough Of Westminster the
other day under the mistaken notion
that the House Of Commons was ON fire.
The soldiers, sightseeing in the neigh
borhood Of the House Of Parliament,
were startled by the sight Of smoke
emerging from the clock tower, just un-
derneath the face Of Big Ben. One Of
them promptly sent in a telephone call
for the tiremen.
The cause Of the commotion, it seems,
was simple. A fire is kept burning in
the base Of the tower to maintain an
even temperature in the works of the
clock
