GAINS 80 POUNDS
Blackmon Says Tanlac Is Worth
Weight in Gold.
Nothing Else Helped Him-NOw
Feels Fine.

Remarkable indeed was the state
ment made by Lon Blackmon, en-
ployed at the Frisco round house and
living at 1923 Belleview Ave, while
in the Owl Drug store recently. Mr..
Blackmon declared that he has gained
80 pounds by taking few bottles or
Tanlac, and that the medicine has
helped him out of troubles which he
was told nothing could relieve Fol
lowing is his complete statement:
"a medicine that will do what Tan
lac has for me is certainly worth its
weight in gold. I had not seen a we'll
day in eighteen months, and was IN
such a bad fix, before 1 took Tanlac,
without help. My appetite went back
on me entirely, and the gas on my
stomach would rise up into my chest
and almost cut off my breath My
back hurt me terribly, there were
sharp pains in my left side and I was
50 nervous and miserable I could
| hardly sleep. 1 also had intense pains
in my ankles and joints, and the mus
cles of my leg couldn't hurt much
worse if they had been tied in knots.
1 was bilious all the time. often had
dizzy spells and had fearful head
aches. I was told three different
times. that no medicine would do me
any good, and of course I had poor
encouragement to think I would ever
get well.
and when I saw Tanlac SO highly
recommended, I -mediately began
taking it, and the way it has relieved
my troubles, and built me up is moth
ing less than remarkable. When I
started taking it 1 weighed only one

THIS is FAIR MONTH
Kansas Bristling With County and
State Expositions.

This is fair month in Kansas and
turnout the state county or state fairs
will be held. Nearly every county in
the state has its own county fair. and
the parent celebrations Of this nature
are the fairs in Topeka and Hutchin-
son. The Kansas Free Fair, Septem-
Der to IA, inclusive, at Topeka is
followed Immediately by Hutchinson's
big show, the Kansas State Fair, Sep
TENDER Ia to 21.
The war conditions have brought
about a marked remodeling of the two
big fairs, especially, and a similar con-
dition is recognized in the smaller
county fairs. This year the livestock
elite, with maricured hoofs and beau
tifully oiled coats, the midway shows
and the art museums are to share
their glory with exhibits from the
great war and educational exhibits and
programs on helping to win the war
The advance notices of the fairs this
year are devoting almost as much at
tenuon to the war demonstrations as
to the livestock shows. At both, To-
peka and Hutchinson a 35-piece band
from the Great Lakes Naval Training
station will be top-liner. Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood has been engaged to
speak at the patriotic programs of the
fairs at Topeka and Hutchinson.

FAIL TO SHOW CLASS
Worlds Series Contenders Not Same
Class as Former Champs.
nv JACK VETOCK

BY JACK NEIOCk.
The Cubs and Red Sox are by no
means the best looking teams that
have entered worlds series. a---
Take a. slant at the 1ineups Of the
major league champs who take the
field for the first game of the 1918
worlds series today, and you will
find nothing in the way Of infie1d or
outfield combinations that can posi-
bly, equal memories of some of the
great teams of the past.
Insofar as the pitching staffs are
concerned, the 1918 champions stack
up pretty well, and critics turnout the
series will be more of pitchers series
than anything else.
But there is nothing in the COM
bination of McInnis, Shean, Scott and
Coffey to remind one of that great
combination of the old Mackmen-
or that wonderful old-time Cub for
nation which boosted of Steinfeldt,
Tinker, Evers and Chance.
McInnis and Scott, of the Red Sox,
class well enough, but Coffey and
Shean are outclassed. In the case of
the Cubs, with three veterans and one
youngster, the same is true. Merkle
has performed a comeback which de-
mands admiration. Deal and Zeider
have been playing steady brand of
baseball, and Charley Hoflocher, the
star young shortstop, is a major league
bud of unusual promise. Yet Merkle,
Zeider, Hollocher and Deal do not be-
gin to compare with the old-time COM
bination.
The outfields stack up somewhat
better. Boston has two gardeners of
known ability in Harry Hooper and
Amos Strunk. AS for Whiteman, the
third regular member of Barrow's
outer Gordon of defense-he is like
many others who have decorated the
lineups of major league teams this
season-a very ordinary player.
The Cub outfield, with Flack, Mann
and Paskert, may be called an expert
enced combination. Paskert has been
a ranking outfie1der for a good many
years, and he is old as ball players go.
Mann and Flack have never set the
world afire with their playing, yet
both are consistent insofar as being in
the lineup every day is concerned, and
either may break up ball game at
any time with the bludgeon.
The Red Sox are little better fixed
in catching talent than the Cubs.
Schangs and Agnew are both first
string catchers, while ki1lifer is the
one real mainstay of the Cubs. Should
Killifer get hurt the Mitchellites would
be handicapped for a first-class back
stop.

So far no report has come showing
that divisions equipped with thu
Browning guns have been in action,
but such reports cannot long be de-

There is no shortage of powder and
no shortage whatever in quartermas-
ter's supplies. The rifle production,
Mr.. Crowell said, is steady at about

| the output of revolvers and pistols
ranges from fifty thousand to sixty
| thousand a month, which it is expect
ed will be largely increased within an
