 If anyone had told me that there was a medicine that would have done for me what Tanlac has, 1 couldn't have believed them, before 1 took itl 1 begun to improve from the very begin ming and my father says he never saw such a change in any, one. Everything l eat nourishes me and builds me up and l have gone up from eighty pounds up to one hundred and three, a clear gain of twenty-three pounds.

CONGRESS TO MAKE LAND
READY FOR SOLDIERS.

The Committee on Public Lands of
in favor of bill appropriating a
million dollars to make surveys of
farms for returning soldiers. In its
report the Committee says:
The proposed legislation is for
the purpose of providing an oppor-
Iunity to procure homes for those Of
our returning sailors and soldiers
who may wish them upon their re-
turn from the war, as well as giving
like opportunity to thousands OF
workers in munitions factories and
other war industries who at the con-
clusion of the war will be out of
employment. It is intended to pro-
mote as nothing else ever has the
back to the land" spirit 1t is rec
ogniZed that one of the great evils
of the times in our country is the
overcrowding and congestion OF peo-
pie in the cities, many of whom are
utterly untitled for city life and not
adapted to the avocations thereof.
After the war this undesirable con-
dition will be greatly intensified.
Further, there will be hundreds Of
thousands of young men who will
have returned from service in our
Army or Navy who will be out of en-
ployment and for whom there will
be no jobs or positions. In addition
there will be thousands and thou
sands of men and women, now en-
ployed in munitlon factories and othe
war industries which will have to
close at the end of the war, who will
be out of employment. Many of
them will have some means which
they will have saved at their en-
ployment and with which they could
locate upon and improve land and
engage in agriculture, horticulture.
or livestock raising. All of the
above-described classes of people
will be needed on the land. The land
will need them and they will need
the land. 1t should be the object of
the Government and it is the object
of this proposed legislation to pro-
vide them with the opportunity of
getting on the land. Furthermore,
the undertaking which this proposed
Legislation contemplates, if embarked
upon by the Government, would af-
ford employment to thousands or
men who will be out of employment
at the termination of the war, when
there will be scarcity of employ
ment in this country and when the
idle will be clamoring for employ
ment
This bill is in line with proposed
legislation suggested by the Secre-
tary of the Interior, and the Commit
tee believes it of great Importance.
The Committee further believes that
it should be attended to in ample
time and that no time should be
lost in doing so. The war may end
in another year, and if this scheme
is to be embarked upon at all, no
time should be lost in doing so. The
committee believes the proposed leg
islation and the undertaking contem-
plated thereby to be of great and vi
tai Importance TO the country and a
great and valuable economic pro-
gram"
