One of the Right Kind.

Our idea of a good citizen, and
we are glad there are many in this
community, is one always ready to
give, according to his means, to
community enterprises. He takes
stock in them all, and doesn't lose
his faith if an occasional venture
proves bad. He is not afraid to buy
real estate and pay what it is worth.
He talks up his town at home and
abroad, thinks it is the neatest place
on earth, believing it to be destined
to be the biggest city in. its section
and wants to be buried here when
he dies. And he's worth whole
regiment of the luke-warm kind. -

THIS man USED
TO THROW NOON
LUNCHES AWAY
But He Eats Every Bit of Them
Since Tanlac Returned
Appetite.

William H. Meyer, 1873 Sixth
avenue, Dayton, KY, used to throw
away the lunches he took to work
to eat at noon time. His appetite
was so poor that he didn't care to
eat.
Now, Mr.. Meyer eats every bit Of
his lunch and he says he can eat
meat three times day if he wants
to without it hurting him.
"Tanlac brought about the
change" Mr. Meyer said.
For years my stomach was so bad
that what 1 ate just formed lump
and made NE feel pretty uncomfort-
able. Gases formed in my stomach.
My appetite was poor especially at
breakfast time.
IT was nervous, too, and got so
little rest at night that 1 got up in
mornings feeling all worn out and
was barely able to go to work.
"Mr. Otis, of Belleview, KY, told
me about Tanlac and I decided to
try one bottle. The medicines 1 used
to try would help me for a time and
then would stop, but I've found Tan
lac different.
"My appetite is fine now, and I
can eat anything 1 want without
bad effects. I don't throw away my
noon lunches any more. 1 eat every
bit of them.
II sleep fine at night now, too,
and get rested good.
II don't have to lay off from my
work any more, either, because Of
poor health. I'm working full time
since I started taking Tanlac."
If you are not feeling right get
Tanlac and get your system back in
shape. You can get Tanlac at G. S..

HAS A HARD JOB
Germany's CAME of Democratic
cation Is Falling Flat.
Each Day Reveals Further
CamOufiage Along That Line.

Washington, Oct. 11-Germany's
game to convince the world that real.
tangible steps have been taken toward
democratization of the empire, is fall
ing flat, high officials declared today.
Each day reveals that the biggest
game of ,camouflage yet undertaken
by the kaiser and his advisers, is IN
der way, they said. Particular atten-
tion was given by these to the much
heralded imperial decree of September
80, by which Prince Max was named
chancellor and given certain powers
to include in his cabinet members of
the reichstag.
The text of this decree has never
been published, officials pointed out.
If it contained any real vital measures
of characterization, such as radical
modification of election laws and
making the cabinet responsible to the
reichstag, officials said it would have
been widely printed by the German
press The fact that the press has
had virtually nothing to say about it,
shows it is valueless, officials assert
ed, and leaves the power of "the con-
stituted authorities of Germany I'M
impaired.
The German decree, it was pointed
out, is the product of the will of the
kaiser himself The reichstag had
nothing to do with it. Max and his
cabinet are still no more responsible
to the people than were their prede-
cessors,
The frequent reports of the kaiser's
abdication and the REIMBURSEMENT OF
command apd the physical breakdown
of Won Ludenderff are part of the Ger
man camouflage game to convey the
idea that Germanys inner front Is
more shaken than it is, officials
warned.

DEFENSE BREAKS
Greatest System Falling to the
Greatest Offensive.
On 200-Mile Front the Allies
~ Smash Ahead.

London, Oct. 1.-THE greatest de-
fensive system in military history is
falling like a house of cards before
the greatest offensive forces of all
time.
Along the whole 200-mile front from
Lens to verdun, the Germans are Civ
ing way in the worlds biggest battle.
With the enemy on the verge of a
rout between Lens and st. Quentin,
falling back before the merciless ham
mering of the French and Americans
in the Champagne and Argonne re-
gions, and withdrawing between
Rheims and Laon, Marshal Foch has
suddenly struck at the very apex OF
the gigantic salient extending from
Cambria to Verdun.
The French war office announced
that in this new assault, directed al
the heart of the great st. Goba1n
massif. the village of Servais has been
captured.
Military authorities agree that fall
of the St. Gobain massif, recognized as
the greatest natural defense on the
west front, would precipitate a dis
aster which would utterly split the
German armies and probably throw
hundreds of thousands of the enemy
into a trap from which there would be
no escape.
, The greatest air raid in history was
carried out Thursday. Four hundred
and fifty French, Italian and Ameri-
can planes participated under Ameri-
can direction. With the machines en-
gagged in regular pursuits, more than
1000 allied planes were in the air at
one time.
In the Balkans French and Serbian
troops \are progressing northward
