Tanlac Ends Troubles of Years
I Standing.

Before I began taking Tanlac that
awful misery I had in my back would
almost kill me if stopped over and
tried to straighten up again; but that's
all over and gone. and I now feel just
as supple and spry as a sixteen-year-
old boy" recently said Reginald F.
Cheetham. who is known to his many
railroad friends as Dick Cheetham.
for twenty-five years an employee of
the Santa Fe Railroad. where he is
now a fireman, and who lives at 1913
Central avenue. Kansas City. Mo.
For the past two or three years."
he continued, II suffered terribly from
kidney trouble and rheumatism that
almost laid me on the shelf few
months ago. My back would get SO
stiff that, actually, I could hardly re-
verse my engine or even work the
brakes, and If 1 tried to bend over
there would come such a sharp catch
right over my kidneys that it would al
most make me scream in agony.
just couldn't lift a thing hardly, and
when 1 went to bed couldn't find an
easy position TO lay in that was restful
Why, 1 couldn't have suffered any
worse if I had been squeezed in a
wise, and I was SO sore and stiff by
morning that I couldn't get up without
rolling sideways out of bed. My kid
neys hurt like they were sore and in
famed, I was badly constipated and,
to add to my other troubles. my atom-
ach went back on mo and distressed
me all the time.
st had tried all kinds of kidney pre-
parations without getting any better
and I had begun to think there was
no help for me anywhere. But when
1 heard so much about the way Tan
lac was fixing other people-up I got
me a bottle to try. / have taken four
bottles of Tanlac now and am posi-
tive that it has entirely relieved that
kidney trouble. I never have those
terrible pains in my back any more. all
that soreness and stiffness is gone and
my. back never troubles me in any
way. sleep like a log all night, and
not only has Tanlac put an end to my
kidney trouble but my appetite has
improved SO much that I can eat and
enjoy all my meals. and never have
a bit of pain or distress afterwards
am feeling as fine as fiddle, and am
SO delighted with the way Tanlac has
Strengthened me out that want to tell
everybody about it, especially railroad
men,

the schedule for a while, Meteorologist
Flora announced today. Tonight is
expected to be almost a duplicate of
Tuesday night. and tomorrow will be
patterned largely after today.
Temperatures do not seem inclined
to get back to normal. the lowest of
the last twenty-four hours being 81 at
1880 this morning. which was de-
grees above normal. Seventy-five was
expected to be the high mark this
afternoon. Tonight the mercury will
not drop below SIS and it will go
around the rs mark again Thursday.
A few light showers were reported
over the state Tuesday night, the
largest precipitations being at Dodge
City and Wichita. However, rainfall
was not of any appreciable degree any
place in the state, and nothing more
than showers may be expected in the
immediate future.
At 10 o'clock this morning the wind
was blowing eight miles an hour from
the southeast. The highest tempera-
ture ever recorded in Topeka on this
date was SO in 1898 and the lowest
was 80 in 1891.

MAKE MORE ARRESTS
David Williams Fined for Thefts From
Express Company.

Express Company.
A further development in the al
legged express steaP' was revealed
when David Williams. who works for
the American Railway Express COM
pany, formerly the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company was tried in police
court and fined $25 by Judge Paul
Heinz on the charge of petit larceny.
Harry Schultz, express detective from
Kansas City, and City Detective Ed
Ransom are said to have located hum
dreds of dollars worth of goods which
have been stolen from the company.
David Williams is the married son
of Jacob williams, and lives with his
father at 325 Chandler street. The
goods were discovered when Will
liamss house was searched for goods
sid to have been sto.ea from the
Santa F'e shops, where he works as a
toolmaker. In this house not only
oil cans. paint brushes and other
articles said to have been taken from
tn sho.s. were discovered, but a,
number of silk waists. several neck
ties. shirts and handkerchiefs were
found. David Williams at first con-
tended that he had bought the goods,
but later signed a statement to tie eff
feet that lie. had taken the goods from
the express company from time to
time.
F. F. Barrett, another employe of
the company, is charged with making
excessive charges on packages de-
livered and keeping the change. A
complaint sworn to in the court of
To- eka charges him with charging a
local undertaken 1910 for shipping
a corpse when the charge should have
been $27.91. He is alleged to have
kept the change.
The authorities state that more ar
FISTS may follow at any time. Further
developments are expected today.

The Germans attempted a counter
attack at noon. The troops concern

With the American First Army. Oct.
9.-The Germans are reported to be
concentrating heavily behind Ro-
magne, which forms the exact center
of the enemy front between the Mouse
and the Argonne massif.
Their artillery is extremely dense
there, and their machine guns are be-
lieved to average only a few yards
apart. At the same time a great
movement of German artillery is re-
ported under way toward the rear, in
dicating that this concentration may
be preparation for a big rear guard
action, covering a further withdrawal.
Much of the artillery now going back

of Grandpre. This village guards the
eastern entrance to the cut thru the

Asks Prince Maximilian
Whether He Is for People.
Inquiry as to Stand Before An
swering Peace Note.
IS HE FOR HUN RULERS?
Do They Accept Terms Laid
Down by Allies?
Hands Communication to the
Swiss Charge.

washington, Oct. president VIII
son has informed the German gov
eminent that before the United States
can discuss an armistice German
troops must withdraw from all invaded
territory.
He asked Chancellor Macmillan
whether he represented the German
people or the authorities of the en-
pire who are conducting the war.
The presidents message was not
reply but in the form of an inquiry
The imperial German government is
asked whether it accepts the terms laid
down by the president in his address
to congress January and subsequent
addresses. -
The Communication.
5. The text of the communication
handed to the charge of Switzerland
here follows: Sir: l have the honor
to acknowledge, on behalf OF the presl-
dent, your note of october 8, enclosing
the communication from the German
government to the president, and
am instructed by the president TO re-
quest YOU to make the following COM
munication to the imperial German
chancellor:
before making reply to the re-
ouest of the imperial German govern
ment. and in order that that reply
shall be as candid and stra1gnt1or-
ward as the momentous interests IN
volved require, the president OF the
United States deems it necessary TO
assure himself of the exact meaning
of the note of the imperial chancellor.
Does the imperial chancellor mean
that the imperial German government
accept the terms laid down by the
president in his address to the con-
gress of the United States on the 9Th
of January last and in subsequent adj
dresses and that its object in entering
into discussions would be only to
agree upon the practical details OF
their application?
No Armistice Yet.
1.-THE president feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
arraistice that he would not feel at
liberty TO propose cessation or arms
to the governments with which the
government of the United States is
associated against the central powers
as long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith of
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded terri
tory.
THE president also feels that he is
Justified in asking whether the inn
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities of the
empire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital, from every point of
view. Accept Sir, the renewed assur-
ances of my high consideration.

Surely there is enough civic pride in Fairbanks to make it an impos3ibility for such a discredit to be left against her name without any effort to re- pudiate 1t. Surely there Is enough pa triotism and love for country in this ccmp so that it will come out in no uncertain terms against the coward ice of the men who would hide behind their nationality to save their skins.

 war; For part of the world is bathed in
 human gore. You won't be the only one who an
 swers the call Many's the one who has shot a ball For that red, white and blue Do your bit; that's all you can do The flag. I tell you, Is calling you Leave your home, your money and
 land And come and stand By the red, white and blue.
