PEOPLE OF ARDENNES
REGION BADLY TREATED
They Had Sufficient Food Furnished
by Americans But Tyranny OF
Germans Was IntolerabIc.

Paris, Dec. 2.-Dr. Albert Favre,
undersecretary of the interior. who
has just returned from visit to the
Ardennes department, which was so
long entirely occupied by the Gcl-
mans. describes conditions there as
having been greatly ameiiorated by
the food supplies furnished by the
Spanish-American committee.
The population OF 10000 have
not suffered too severely from hun
ger" he said, thanks to the con
slant devotion OF the Spanish
American committee, which supplied
quite regularly -four, dried vegeta-
bles and other necessaries. Meat en-
tirely disappeared two weeks ago.
"On the other hand, the moral i'll
treatment of the residents surpass-
ed imagination and reduced the in
habitants to slavery. 1t was never
realized, even when the German en-
peror and his staff visited the de-
partment. Their presence only saved
the city Of Mezieres for time. But
during the last hours OF occupation
the German army under Won Arnim
bombarded Mezieres from the hills
surrounding, beginning on Sunday
November 10, and continuing until
1890 Monday morning-the day the
armistice was signed and one hour
before 1t came into effect, reducing
two-thirds Of the town to ruins. Two
hundred patients in the civilian hos
pital were removed from the burn
ing building only with great dan
ger"

cause OF its use in transporting IL
Quor was sold by the sheriff yester-
day at Harper's garage, the pur-
chaser being Will Bowers, Of Flint
Ridge, and the purchase price $3.50.
The car was formerly the property
of II. X. 1ngler, Of Ohio. and when
the officers seized 1t ont at Twelve
Mile Creek 1t contained some five
gallons Of liquor, the latter being
turned over to the Red Cross and
used during the recent epidemic OF

sheriff. and is thought to have
brought a reasonably good price.

SHOULDERINC
OUR LOAD
War Revenue Bill Will Raise Eight
Billion Dollars

The taxes collected in the Unite,
States before the war amounted u
about billion dollars a year. Eng
land raised about an equal amount il
those days, although from q popula
ton less than half the size of ours. I
is fair to say then that pre-war taxei
in England were twice as heavy al
ours.
The War Revenue Bill now being
framed in Washington will raise bill
lion dollars. eight times as much as
our peace budget called for and twice
what we raised in the first year OF
the war. But again we find ourselves
no more than equaling England,
which is raising close to billions in a
population Of less than SO million.
Just now, after being in the war more
than a year and still mourning what
may be called the initial expense Of
preparation, we are exceeding Eng
lands monthly expenditure. We are
spending III billion dollars a month,
England about billion, but in her
four years of war England has piled
up a debt Of more than 26h billion
dollars while ours has reached only
1914 billion.
These figures are called to mind by
news dispatch from Washington re-
counting that the last Of the Spanish
war debt was paid off few days ago.
1t was little matter of 81 million
dollars which was promptly paid and
the books on that transaction closed.
That war cost US altogether a little
more than we are now spending every
ey by taxes in those days. stamp
taxes mostly, and sold some bonds.
The cost Of the war wasn't felt, and
we learned no lesson of taxation from
it. America never has learned any
lesson of taxation, but is going to now. |
Actually, we are going to raise rs
much money by taxation as England
raises, which is to say ITO million
are going to carry the
same load that As million Englishmen
carry. OF course, it's not going to be
equitably-we haven't got
TO that yet. Instead of being laid on
Incomes, or on land-which is some
hing nobody can tuck under the bed
md hide from the assessor it's 60
ng to be laid on thousand things,
rom hotel bills to yachts. But we
ire progressing. We are learning to
AK, which means we are learning to
ave.

The Saints Soon to Possess the
Kingdom.
(By Mrs. A. Shorten)

Wy WI o. n. oHoi eSit
The kingdom shall be given to tnt
saints of the Most High and they shall
possess it forever and ever. l hav,
spent good deal of time in studying
prophecy and the mysteries of the
kingdom and it seems to me the time
is at hand for the thrones to be cast
down, for the rich to weep and howl
for the misery that has come upon
them, because Of the cry of the labor
ers who have reaped down their fields,
whose hire has been kept back through
fraud has reached the ears of the
Lord of the Sabbath and He has come
to deliver them and set up the king
dom He said to pray might come.
Some tell us that very soon after the
war Jesus is to come as a man and
sit on the throne of His Father Da-
vid. But if that be so, why did He
say in Matt. 21:23, after this time
of great trouble, then if any man shall
say unto you 10, here is Christ, or 10,
there, believe it not, for there shall
appear false Christs and false proph-
cts and show great signs and won
ders, insomuch that if it were posi-
BILE they shall deceive in the very
elect. If they shall say unto you
behold, He is in the desert, go not
after them, or behold He is in the Sc
cret chamber, believe it not, for as
the lightning cometh out Of the east
and shineth even unto the west, so
shall the coming of the Son of Man
be.
Some say, too, that the elect shall
be translated after this time of trou-
BILE and the Jews are to set up the
kingdom. If so, how do you account
for Jesus saying, Fear not, little
flock, it is your Fathers good pleas
ure to give you mot Jews) the king
dom. In Matt. 21:42 He says, "The
kingdom shall be taken from you
(Jews) and given to nation bring
ing forth fruit; and the nation that
shall fall on this stone shall be br6k-
en-, but the nation upon whom TINS
stone shall fall shall be ground tc
powder" This nation, or stone, can
be no other than the u. S. Republic
on religious liberty and the
voice of the people, which is the voice
IF God. In Daniel 2:3 chapters it says
This stone cut out of the mountain
without hands smote the image that .
he king saw in his dream in the i
least, which Daniel interpreted to rep
resent the four great autocratic !

SEATTLE MAN HAS GAIN
Ed Is POUNDS
81 Never Felt Better In My Life"
Says Bland After Taking
Tanlac

"Tanlac has not only made won
derful change in my wife, but have
been greatly benefited by it myself
1t has put her in shape to where she
has gained twelve pounds in thirty
days and now she feels fine all the
time. And as for myself, have pick
ed up twenty-five pounds, and never
felt better in my life."
This interesting and remarkable
statement was made by P. o. Bland of
2724 Fourth Ave-, North, Seattle,
Washington, recently.
Continuing Mr.. Bland said: "My
wife has had one of the worst cases
of stomach trouble, it seems to me a
person could have, and everything she
would eat disagreed with her in a
way that caused her the greatest of
suffering. During the past five years
we tried everything we heard of in
our efforts to help her and build her
up, but nothing seemed to do her any
good. Her appetite left her entirely,
her complexion was sallow, and her
health was all gone to pieces. She
used to weigh one hundred and seventy
pounds, but fell off to one hundred
and thirty-three and was so weak she
could hardly raise her arms. For
one solid month before she began TAX
ing Tanlac, she was down in bed,
hardly able to move
about the last of April she start
ed on Tanlac, and the results have
been wonderful. She has no trouble
whatever with her stomach now. She
eats anything she wants without suf-
fering particle from it, and has q |
splendid appetite. She was so nerv-
ous and miserable before she began
taking Tanlac she hardly knew what
a good nights sleep was, but now she
sleeps the whole night through just
ike child. Her color is clearing up
and she is able to do all her house,
work without any trouble.
'"When l noticed the wonderful
benefits she was getting from Tanlac,
started taking the medicine myself,
IS l had been suffering for sometime
With indigestion and constipation and
vas badly rundown. l had failed off
o one hundred and forty-two pounds
nd was still losing. l don't suffer
particle with Indigestion now no
natter what l eat, and am always
eady with big appetite when meal
ime comes. now weigh one hun
red and sixty-seven pounds, making
gain of twenty-five pounds, and
ny wife and are both glad to re-
ommend Tanlac, as it has done far
lore than we ever expected of it."
Tanlac is sold in Emmett at the H.
. Davis Drug Store.
