DON'T COME HOME
WITHOUT ANOTHER
BOTTLE" Wife SAID
"I Don't Want to Be
Without Tanlac a Sim
gle Day." Mrs. Moore
Told Husband.

1.-THE last thing my wife said
to me when 1 left home was
Don't come back home without
another bottle Of Tanlac, for
don't want to be without it q sim
gle day. which shows what we
think of Tanlac out our way"
said X. Moore, well-known
rancher living at Midland on r.
F. D. No. 4, while in the city the
other day.
For three or four years. he
continued, my wife was in a
badly rundown condition and suf-
fered terribly from stomach trou-
BILE and nervousness. Most ev-
erything she would eat soured and
formed gas that made her life
miserable night and day. Her
nerves were so unstrung that she
could seldom get a good nights
rest and was up and down at all
hours unable to sleep but a little
at a time, and by morning she
would feel more tagged out than
when she went to bed. / begged
her to stay in bed and try to get
some rest, but she insisted on
getting up and stirring around, al
tho she wasn't fit to do anything
and the effort would almost
break her down.
Now We have a little grandson
at home who had been weak and
puny all his life and had such a
weak stomach that he ate hardly
anything but a little bread and
tea. We started him on Tanlac
and 1t gave hum such an appetite
and built him up so fine that
told my wife she had better try
it too. Well. she did SO and 1t
sure fixed her up so she can now
eat anything she wants and never
suffers at all with gas or sour
stomach like she did, she sleeps
like a baby and she has gained
several pounds in weight. The
little boy has gained eight pounds
and both he and my wife are doing
so we'll since starting on Tanlac
that We have made 1t our stand
by in the way Of q family medi-
cine"

Kaiser Carlton

Had any union man defied the United States
war labor board as has President Carlton of the
Western Union, hue and cry would have been
raised thruout the country against him as an enemy
of the country. He would have been branded pro-
German, pro-kaiser, and lower than an I. W. w.
Carlton position must not save him. His promi-
nence in fact intensifies his unfriendlness to the
war board. He must not be spared. Kaiser Carl
ton he is to the employees of the Western Union,
200 of whom have been thrown out of work in Sc
attic for no other reason that that they sought to
exercise the American right of affiliating with
another. And Kaiser Carlton he is to the rest Of
the United States.
If he can get away with his defiance of the
United States government in it's predcament,
he is marking out path which this country
will meet with tremendous difficulty in its effort to
win the war.
Carlton is striking at the vitals of the nation by
his present attitude. He is far more mcnacng than
any alien spy.
If the war labor board cannot bring him to terms,
congress can-and must.

Democracy!

Lumber jobbers and wholesalers, fearful lest the
government shall fix price to consumers, were
clustered in Seattle Wednesday, trying to stall off
any such wide-sweeping interference.
ut is undemocratic," declare the middlemen,
''to ask protection against the abuses of few job
bers at the expense of the rest of u.s..
Horrors! The fixed price to consumers seems to
be dark unholy menace-even undemocratc!
Ii the lumbermen are trying to protect democracy
they ought to climb on the other side of the
fence indorse price fixing, and see that the prices
are the very lowest possible to the consumer.
AS matter of fact many commercial interests
are profiteering in one way or the other.
Business men, little and big, give their sons to
the service and are proud of them.
But while they shake one fist at the enemy, they
grab after extra profits with the other.
And general grab and gr1nt situation sucks the
strength and vitality of the nation.
No. Mr.. Lumbeman, price fixing is not undemo-
cratic Properly administered, and when uncon-
troed by profiteer interests, it will help win the
war by strengthening the morale of the people at
home and relieving them of unnecessary hardships.

been for two years. have my
luncheon down town every day
and for the past six weeks have
seen a certain army officer-~a
lieutenant. He Is very good
looking and the nearest to my
ideal that l have ever seen.
Each time we have passed he
has given me 4 little look Of
recognition; but has made no
further advances and has been
perfect gentleman.
Today a letter came from
him. He had watched the o.
flee l entered and oStained my
name from the elevator boy.
He wants to meet me, but
doesn't know how to arrange 1t
as he only knows fellow Off

townspeople. He asked me to
suggest some way. He said he
wanted to speak to me on the
street, but knew | wasn't that
kind OF girl and that I would
resent his seeming familiarity.
Now, Miss Grey, / have gone
out great deal and have met
many men; but thoughts of this
officer virtually haunt me. I
want to meet him, but cannot
think of any way Of dong it
without lessening myself in my
own eyes as well as his.
Can't you help two very per-
picked young people out? I
have his name and address. I
have seen him since his letter
came, but he has not spoken.

that all young men of draft age

AS there are three of us shipfit-
