MOST HUMAN ILLS
TRACED BY SCIENCE
TO COMMON CAUSE
Remarkable Demonstration of This
Theory Is Found in Dallas Wo-
mans Case.

Science has discovered that mos
of the i,any ills that afflict human
ity are traceable to disordere'
condition of the stomach and intes
tines. Keep these organs healthy
and active and you will remair
strong, sturdy and well, as nature
intended you should be.
Then if YOU are victim of stom-
ach trouble, or any OF the numerous
disagreeable symptoms resulting
from it, the experience OF Others
in your own city or community VINO
have teetfied to the benefits they
have obtained from the use of Tan
lac, should appeal very forcibly 10
you.
Amorg the many strong endorse
ments recently received is the toll
lowing from Mrs. Josephine Har-
man, highly esteemed elderly lady
residing at 242i Ferris street, Dal-
las, Texas, who says:
81 am feeling much better IN ev-
cry way than have in years and
it's all because of what Tanlac has
done for me. Before | began tax
ing it, couldn't eat anything but
what my stomach would fill up
with gas and cause me all kinds OF
misery. My apeptite was so poor
seldom wanted anything to eat
and | had severe headaches and
pains in the back of my neck. |
was corstipatcd and irregular much
of the time. / also had rheumatism
so bad in my feet and ankles at
times il could hardly get about. MY
kidneys bothered me a great deal
and the small of my back hurt me
so | could hardly bend over In
fact. | was in an awful fix and
while | doctored and tried many
different medicines nothing seem
ed to help me.
Il kelt reading and hearing 50
much about 1anlac that | decided
to try it and | can see now | made
a mistake in rot getting it before.
My appetite picked up and | began
to rest better at night right away.
So | kept on taking Tanlac and
right along until now J
,an eat anything and enjoy it, and

Tanlac is sold in Ardmore by

DOUBT INCOME TAX RULING
The Treasury Decision on Stock InVen.

Attorney General Gregory.

Washington, Jan 9.-The treasury
decision that in making inventories for
excess profits and income tax returns,
dealers in merchandise or securities
might use the coast price or market
value, whichever was lower, is being
reviewed by the Department Of JUS
tice and may be revised Millions Of

Treasury legal advisers were under

of the decision; which was issued sew

GERMAN TERMS WITHDRAWN
Made at Brest-LitoVsk Because
Allies Wouldn't Join.

Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-THE Central
Powers have withdrawn their peace
terms made public at the Brest-Litovsk
conference on December 25, it was an
nounced by Dr. Won Kuehlmann, the
German foreign secretary, in his
speech at the Brest-Litovsk conference
with the Russians yesterday.
Owing to the non-acceptance by all
the enemy powers of those terms, Doc

In explaining why the Central
Powers refused categorically to trans

which neither could forego without in

THE BUDGET PLAN FOR COAL
fuel Administration Expects to Save
100000 Tons of Fuel by the
New Arrangement

Washington, Jan. "A coal bud
get plan" based On the voluntary
agreements of manufacturers moi en-
gagged in war work to reduce their
fuel consumption, and backed by Or
GERS of the Fuel Administration, mak-
ing the agreements applicable TO all
factories of each industry, wds an
nCunced tonight by the Fuel Admins
tration as its method for adjusting
demand to supply in 1918.
Reduction in consumption of pos
sibly so million tons of coal for the
year is contemplated. The army and
navy, munitions works, other war ma
terial factories, public utilities and do
nestle consumers will be the only
classes Of consumers to receive 100
per cent of their needs while the war
continues
Manufacturers already have been
called into conference to put the plan
into operation, and the annual saving
promised by the first group will be be
tween Is million and 20 million tons.
In 1917 the increased demand for coal
amounted to 100 million tons, while
the increase in output was about IS
million tons. Under the Same cOn6i-
tions this year, the untitled tonnage
would be taken care of by the reduc-
ton in factories not contributing di-
rectIy to the prosecution of the war.
Curtailment of fuel consumption
necessarily implies reduction of out
put by the factories, so the Fuel Ad-
ministration sees in its program aid in
the diversion of labor and materials
to war work. The budget" by agree
ment, is adopted in lieu Of the often
proposed arbitrary classification of
industries into essential and nones-
sential divisions.
ct is believed" the Fuel Admins
tration's announcement says, that the
operation of this plan will forever lay
the ghost of the agitation to cut off
nonessential industries and will auto
matically balance the relation between
the production and consumption of
coal and prevent any repetition Of the
present coal shortage

BANDITS ROB THE
BANK AT FUNSTON
Four Men Literally Hacked TO
Pieces With an AK at the
Army Institution.
MURDERERS ESCAPE GUARDS
c. F. Winters, Vice President of Ma
tional Reserve Bank at Kansas
City Victim.

Camp Funston, Kan, Jan r.
Three men were killed and two ser
iously injured at o'clock tonight
when the Army bank here was robbed
by a man dressed in the uniform of
captain in the United States army.
The three men, civilians, were killed
with an ak, it is reported, while they
were at work in the bank c. F. Win
tiers, vice president of the National
Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Mo-,
was seriously wounded and late to-
night it was stated that he could not
live. The men killed were:
TWO in Robbery.
Hill, John Jewell and Carl
Ohleson, all clerks. Military authori-
ties were reticent regarding the rob-
berry. 1t was learned, however, that
the robbery was discovered when per-
sons passing the bank heard g.Oans.
Kearney Warnell was wounded, but
probably will recover
1t is believed at least two men took
part in the robbery as two hand axes
used in the killing were found inside
the bank. The hands of the three
dead men and one of the wounded
were tied behind their backs. The
robbers gained entrance to the vault
and removed a considerable quantity
of cash and some Liberty bonds. The
amount secured was not given out
1t is estimated at $4,000 to 100000.
Discovered an Hour Later.
The discovery, it was said, did not
become known until after o'clock
The military police were Immediately
put on the case. kilograms were sent
to the police in several cities enlist
ing their aid in capturing the fugi-
tives
1t was stated here by army officers
that they were convinced the man
who apparently led in the robbery was
not an officer in the army, although
he was dressed in the uniform of a
captain.
Kearney Warnell, who was slightly
injured, stated that the crime was
committed by a man who was wear
ing a captains uniform, but he was
unable to give any detailed descrip-
ton of the man. 1t is believed the
uniform worn by the murderer is
stained with blood.
How the robbers entered the bank,
successfully attacked five men with
axes, robbed the vault and made their
escape, is a mystery. The robbery oc-
Cured after the bank had closed and
no one except an officer could have
gained admission unless he was
known to the clerks. 1t is believed
this was the reason the robber OBJ
tanned a captains uniform.

LAW BARS VOTE OF SOLDIER
State Constitution Prohibits Any Ex.
cept National Guardsnen Exercls-
ing Franchise in this State.

Topeka.-Kansas men drafted into
the United States army and the men
who volunteered for the regular army
may not be able to vote in France
next summer and fall, even though the
machinery can be provided for them.
S. NJ. Brewster, attorney general, had
notified Governor Capper he thought
it unnecessary to have a special leg
is1ative enactment to permit Kansas
soldiers in France to vote But in
digging into the question he discov-
cred some constitutional prohibitions
which would prevent any Kansas SOL
der except those in the national
guard voting overseas.
The constitution permits the legis-
lature to make provision for soldiers
voting away from home Then it
makes prohibition that Kansas men
in the regular army are not to be per-
mitted to vote. The constitution says:
1.-The legislature may make provis-
ion for taking the votes of electors
who may be absent from their town
ships or wards, in the volunteer mill
tary service of the United States or
the military service of the state, but
nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to allow any soldier, seaman
or marine in the regular army or navy
of the United States the right to vote"
1t would appear from that, since the
men of the national army are not vol
unteers, that they would be prohibit
ed from voting in the primary next
August and the election in November,
along with the men who have volun-
teered service in the regular army.
But the members of the national
guard will be permitted to vote.
The attorney general has asked the
government for information relative
to the enlistment of the men in the
regular army. 1t may be that some Of
those will be allowed to vote because
they enlisted only for the period Of
the war and not for the usual definite
period of regular army enrolment

SAYS LABOR SUPPLY is AMPLE
Proper Adjustments Is the Only Prob
lem Necessary TO Solve, De-
cIares Secretary Wilson.

Washington, Jan 1U.-There is an
ample supply OF labor both for the
army and for industry; the problem
is one of proper adjustment Secre-
tary Wilson said today, in discussing
plans for modifying workers. He es-
timated that in the first year of the
war the army would take only about 3
per cent Of the country's workers, less
than the number unemployed under
normal conditions.
Most OF the anxiety in this country
regarding the labor question has been
a reflex 81 Great Britain's experiences
in the war" Mr.. Wilson said. "Of 20
million persons engaged in gainful oc-
equations in England, million were
taken for the army, leaving the labor
supply 25 per cent short This neces-
STATED withdrawal from the army Of
skilled workmen in order to maintain
the industrial life at home
Americas situation is very differ
ent- OF course, the draft viii interfere
with industry to some extent, but We
have 35 million workers, of whom ap-
proximately IL million will be taken
in the first year of war, less than the
normal number Of unemployed Our
problem, then, is one of readjustment
to supply the demand for workers in
those trades which are expanding rap
idly, such as shipbuilding and NUM-
tions factories.
AT present there IS a shortage OF
labor in some trades and a surplus in
others. For instance, there is unem-
plOyment in the building trades It is
our task to make the supply equal 10
the demand, which viii involve trans
pOrtatiOn OF workmen voluntarily from
one section to another, housing them
in their new homes, and training IN
skilled men when the skilled supply in
any particular line OF work is short"
Mr.. Wilson was asked what opposi-
ton was expected from the unions to
dilution of labor
IF the apprentice rules of the
unions are adhered to- he replied, ''it
doubtless viii cause friction If We at
tempt to introduce unskilled workers
That'is enc of the questions which we
viii have to work out"

AMERICAN SOLDIERS NEEDED

London, Jan. 12.-Winston Spencer
Churchill, minister of munitions, ad-

today, made powerful appeal for the
sending Of American soldiers to Eu-
rope quickly and in as large numbers
as possible.
The reception of Premier Lloyd
George and President Wilson's war
aims by the Central Powers, the min
