A MAIN STREETCASE
CAUSES COMMENT

Nate McHenry, 10 North Main
street, Keokuk, tells the following
relative to his experience with Tan
lac:
II formerly suffered with stomach
trouble and nervousness. My appe-
tite was poor. After eating light

have severe cramps I was nervous
too. and my sleep was not sound.
Often l had headaches.
Il heard so much of Tanlac that !
decided to try It and / am certainly

cramps l sleep good and have not
had a headache since began taking
Tanlac."

MANY CHILDREN
ARE BENEFITED

The tissues of a child's body are
very delicate. They are not &C
quired to the power of endurance
which older people possess. The
greater portion Of the food they
eat is required for growth and
development.
Together with the double strain
of growing and studying. child's
digestion IS taxed to the limit and
parents should see that their chill
dren have prompt attention,
should stomach disorders occur.
Thousands of parents say that
Tanlac, the reconstructive tonic,
has benefited their children-glv-
en- them better digestion-made
them stronger-less restless.

MILITARY WANING,
SAYS CHANCELLOR
Compare Spirit of Last Year With

Volunteers to Drill.

Military training at the UNIVERSE
ty was the subject ON which Chancel-
lor Powers based his remarks at
Chapel exercise on last Wednesday
morning. he stated that it would
soon be year since this country de-
clared war against Germany, and
since that date military training has
been part of the curriculum of the
University, but he regretted to see
that there Is far less enthusiasm man.
ifested IN 1t now than last year when
1t was first established. Then. he
stated, when the bugle blew, no matter
what the students were doing, wether
studying or playing a game of base
ball they would soon be found ON the
drill field in their places. Besides
this there would be numbers of goods
and the members of the faculty to
watch the boys drill. There was even
professors squad, which showed the
intense interest that was taken in il
but now IN place of this enthusiasm
IL seems that great per cent of the
students are shirking it. 1t seems to
me- SAID the Chancellor, that when
the causaity lists come in, when the
war Is being brought neare- to our
doors when a member of this student
body IS a prisoner in the German
camps, that it would be stimulus
enough 10 cause every one of YOU TO
want to drill, and make yourselves
more ft to serve your country when
.ne call comes to you. The thing, in
inherent attitude toward the war. is
that they have not awaken to the
real seriousness, of the situation. II

in this nation, that only 5000
really realize the death struggle that
we are in. When go to Washington,
and hear such men, as Mr.. Vanderlip
and Mr.. Russell talk, l come back, and
1t irritates me to even see any one
taking joy ride.
In view of the manner in which mill
itary training has been conducted, and
the attitude assumed by a large per-
cent OF the students, the Chancellor
stated that military training would no
longer be compulsory, but that he
hoped none of the students would
stop drilling, but continue to drill and
make themselves more physically fit
TO serve their country. Those who
continue to drill the remainder will
receive college credits just as was
stated when the course was instituted.
Gen. Gorgas and students who have
gone from this institution into the
camps, say drill. Now they are either
wrong and you are right; or they are
night and you are wrong, but you may
from now on do as you please with
reference to drill. The Chancellor
concluded his remarks, by saying that
II ne had it in his power he would have
military training in every high school
in the state.

March l9.-The United States soldiers
dread shot in the arm" more than
anything else in the world, according
to observations made by medical Of

to camp here quake and quail and
sometimes faint when the hyperder-

usual, say the officers.
They point how the soldiers in the

LIBERTY MOTOR GETS
WARM BRITISH PRAISE
Lord Reading Gives Out Official
Air Ministry Cable.

The Liberty motor, assailed by
American Congressional and other
critics as unreliable and a waste of
effort. has been officially indorsed by
the British Government.
Announcement to this effect was
made last night at the British EN-
bassy. where the following text of a
cable received by Lord Reading from
the British Air Minister was made
public:
"The British technical authorities
have reported to the Air Minister
that the Liberty engines have now
been subjected to sufficient air expert
ment in England to warrant conf
dence in this engine.
Excellent results have so far been
obtained, which place the engine a,
once in the first line of high-powered
air engines. Naturally. service ex-
pertinent in the field is still to be OBJ
tanned, but the Liberty engine will be
the most valuable contribution to the
Allied aviation programs, and the
United States should develop produc.
ton with every confidence"
Secretary Baker was much pleased
when informed of the report of, the
British Air Minister.
Fine. finer he said.
