Stamp Out Sugar Hoarders.

Sugar boarding is thing
which can not be too severely
condemned, especially at a time
when assurance is given that il
is not necessary. tits a patriotic
duty on the part of any citizen
who knows when boarding is be-
ing practiced to report it imme-
diately to the nearest local food
administrator. Since sugar can
be so easily hidden away, good
citizens are all the more duty
bound to stamp out this pernici-
Gus practice. Local administra-
tors should secure from merch-
ants their heartiest cooperation
in attaining an equitable distri-
button of sugar, both for the pro-
lection of the merchant and the
general public. u. S. Conserva-

About ..Glass' in Bread.

When the use of wheat substi-
tutes in bakers bread became
general considerable agitation
was aroused by reports that con-
sumers were finding ground glass
in bread. From time to time
such reports are likely to persist
owing to the fact that the same
conditions will probably contln-
ne. In view of this it is of con-
siderable interest to review the
bulletin published by the lndi-
ana State Council of Defense I'M
der the supervision Of DR.. H. h.
Barnard, explaining just why
these erroneous reports were cir
culated. This bulletin says that
almost without exception authorl-
ties have been unable to verify
the rumors of glass in bread, and
in endeavoring to explain this
exhaustive Investigations and
experiments were made. The
bulletin says:
Corn -four under the micro
scope shows many hard, fiinty
pieces of the endospern GERM
which have very CLASSY appear
ance. When baked in very
quick oven some of these parti-
cles retain their CLASSY appear
ance, though in the ordinary
process of baking this appear
ance is lost. This is the explain
alton given by experts employed
by the International Union of
Bakers and confectionery Work
ers.
I'm bran fiours a nervous per-
son might easily fancy that parti-
cles of the hard outer husk were
glass. And dextrine sometimes
solidifies into a hard, transparent
mass. which might be mistaken
for glass.
'The natural conclusion is
that most of the people who re-
ported having found glass in
their bread were deceived by the
appearance of the new materials.

Was Almost In
Despair She Says
In Miserable Health For Four Years
and In Bed Most of Time

Il was almost in despair and
did not know which way to turn
for relief when some friends told
me about Tanlac and / honestly
believe the medicine has saved
my hfe," said Mrs. Blanche S.
Dabney, who resides at 2901
lookout street, Dallas, Texas,
recently.
About four years ago." con-
tinued Mrs. Dabney, Il had an
attack of ptomain poisoning af-
ter eating ice cream, and this
seemed to be the beginning of
serious trouble for me. | soon
got so | couldn't eat without suf-
fering severe pain in the pit Of
my stomach. Gas would form
causing intense pain around my
heart, smothering spells and aw-
full headaches. | kept getting
worse until everything disagreed
with me and then rheumatism
set in and / simply suffered
agony. At times ! could do none
of my homework at all. In fact,
| was confined to my bed three
or four days at a time. / tried
everything, including mineral
baths, but kept going down until
| hardly had any hope left. l
was so nervous and restless /
could scarcely sleep at all. /
would lay awake half the night
and get up in the mornings feel
ing half dead.
"A number of my friends adj
vised me to try Tanlac and, oh.
Pm so glad now | did, for as /
said, | believe it has saved my
life, l began to feel better with
my first dose, it seemed to soothe
and strengthen my stomach and
my appetite has improved until
now | can eat just anything 9TH
er people can. My suffering is
all gone and my flesh and mus
cles have grown firmer. My
sleep is sound and restful and |
wake up in the mornings feeling
fine and full of vigor. / can do
my house work now and can't
say to much in praise of Tanlac
Tor its wonderful work in my
case.
Tanlac is sold in Colfax by
Dixie Pharmacy and by one regu-
lar established agency in every
town.

JOSEPH L. COUNTS

This good man was called to his
eternA reward last Sunday, Feb. 10th,
from hts home near the northern Him
it Of this city. Organic heart trouble,
with which deceased had long been af-
fected, was the immediate cause of
death. He had passed his list mile
stone, having been born in Ste. Cen
evieve county May Fl, 1876. Burial
occurred in the Pleasant Hill ceme-
terry, east Of this city, on Feb. 18th,
being presided over by Rev. Elijah
Golfer, a Baptist minister, of which
church Mr.. Counts had been MEM
Der for more than fifty years.
Deceased was married to Miss Mary
X. Miller Nov. II, 1868. This union
was blessed with six children, the
mother and five of whom are still liv-
ing. They are: F. E. Counts of Bonnie
Terre, l.. M. and R. W. Counts of
Colorado Springs, Colo, F. M. Counts
of Kingman, Ariz., and Mrs. Cora
Harter of Route l, Harrington. Eflie
died in infancy. He is also survived
by a brother, Tom Counts of Flat
River, an uncle, S. G. Counts of Farm
ington, and 18 grandchildren.
In the passing Of Joseph L. Counts
st. Francois county loses one of its
best citizens, one whose many good
works and deeds will long survive,
not only in thc hearts of the be-
reaved family, but also in the memory
of all who knew him. His was a quiet,
retiring disposition. but when it came
to helping along and pushing forward
anything for the public veal, de-
ceased could always be depended up
on to be on the right side. There was
no better husband and father than
was he, and as a neighbor and as a
man he was practically above just
criticism. What more could be said, or
desired, of any man?
