REV. &C GALLOWAY
Kansas City Minister Now En-
dorses TanIac.
Overcomes Trouble After Suf-
fering Twenty Years.

It is seldom, indeed. that men of
prominence, especially Ministers of the
Gospel, willingly express their indebt-
edness publicly to a proprietary medi-
cine. altho. they may have derived I'M
told benefit from its use. However.
when a medicine obtains of that singu
lar purity and efficiency that is shown
by the uniform preparation, Tanlac,
statements from our best citizens are
to be considered. thoro1y commensur-
ate with the good that is being ac-
complished.
Rev. c. C. Galloway, who has been a
Baptist minister for the past fifteen
years and resides at zoos East 14th
street, Kansas City, Mo-, is only one of
a great many in his high calling who
have come forward with their unquali-
fled endorsements of Tanlac. Rev.
galloway in a recent interview said:
Before 1 began taking Tan1ac my
health was broken in many ways. In
fact / have not been a well man in
twenty years. My appetite was poor.
my digestion was bad and 1 suffered
from a burning sensation and pains
in my stomach. l was very nervous,
couldn't sleep well and felt tired and
worn-out all the time. 1 was badly
constipated and was subject to fire.
kidneys and bladder caused me a great
deal of worry and bother, the small
of my back hurt me a great deal, my
feet would also swell and my legs and
joints ached. l was short of strength
and energy and my condition was a
drawback to me in my work.
II finally decided to try Tanlac.
seeing it so highly endorsed, and since
1 began taking it 1 am feeling almost
like 1 used to when a sixteen year old
boy. My appetite is fine, my stomach
don't trouble me and 1 am not tired
and WORKOUT like I was. The swelling
and pain has gone out of my feet and
legs and my back and kidneys are in
much better condition. I have been
taking Tanlac only a short while but
1 have, improved already until 1 feel
like new person. Tanlac has con-
WINGED me that it Is wonderful medi-
cine and for this reason 1 am willing
to give it my public endorsement. I
will gladly tell anyone personally how
| it has helped me-"

to Have Been Chummy.

New York, Aug. 12.-Merton e.
Lewis. state attorney general, declares
in a statement that he could show in
series of affidavits that William
Randolph Hearst, the newspa. er pub

sions, Bolo Pasha, who was recently
executed by France for treason, and
Count Won Berrstorff the former Ger
man ambassador to the United States.
Moreover. Mr.. Lewis asserted that he
was prepared to show, blu many affi-
davits, that Count Won Bernstorff was
a frequent visitor at the Hearst home
at about the time of Bolo's visit to
New York. in the spring of 1916. when
Bolo obtained s1,6S3,000 from Won
Bernstorff with which to carry on the
same German propaganda in France
that Hearst had been conducting in
America"
Mr.. Lewis claimed that it had been
shown "by the testimony of Hearst's
Paris correspondent, Bertelli, given in
the trial of Bolo for treason. shat in
stead Of Hearst me tins Bolo only
once, he met him three times" These
meetings, according to Mr.. Lewis, "oc-
at luncheon, Boo entertained Hearst
at the Sherry dinner, and Hearst en-
tertained Bolo at a theater party and
supper
Included IN the statement were
copies of nine affidavits regarding
visits to the Hearst apartment house

davits were made by chauffeurs. who
said they had driven Bernstorff. Bole.
or both. to the Hearst home on River
side drive, on one or more occasions,
while others included those by the
doormen, superintendent and elevator
boys at the apartment house. .

with IA the week before.
While the proportion of deaths Tor
the week as compared with the
wounded is large. attention was called
to- the fact that the casualties being
reported now by General Pershing
represent an accumulation as result
of the fighting which began July 10.
and it is not to be assumed that the
ratio of killed and wounded will be
maintained when the final toll of the
Aisne- Marine victory is complete. Be-
cause of the fact that the Americans
were brigaded in the fighting with
British and French forces, many of
the wounded were taken to French
and British hospitals and the task of
collecting their names was a difficult
one. The problem of securing the
names of the killed and missing was
said to be much simpler. and this is
taken here to account for the relative
ly large number of killed and missing
reported in the first lists.
