MISSOURI MAN
Has Thrown His Two Clutches
Away.
Has Gained Twenty Pounds by
Taking Tanlac.

u $:Honestly, don't believe 1 ever felt
90 well or enjoyed such fine health as
i have since taking Tanlac," said
James A. Storm. who lives at 1907
Francis street, st. Joseph, Mo-, recent
i ly, in one of the most interesting and
sremarkable statements yet publishe I'd
Z IN connection with the Master Medi-
cine. Mr. Storm has lived in st. Jo-
-seph for sixty-three years and is now
employed as receiving clerk by the
Standardization Paper company.
H'&'Some people may be skept1cal
1about Tanlac,' he continued, but II
they are my case ought TO convince
them, for surely no one could suffer
much more than l did before l took it.
In 1909 / began suffering with my
stomach and kidneys and was never
able to get more than a little passing
relief. My stomach was in such an
awful condition that | could hardly
eat anything and what little l did
force down made trouble for me. Soon
after eating l would bloat up terribly
with gas and just suffer agony with a
pain in the pit of my stomach. My
kidneys disturbed me so often at night
that couldn't get any sound sleep and
my back was SO lame and stiff that
had to use crutches to get around on
For years l couldn't stoop over and
had to lay off from my work for two
and three months at time. Nobody
will ever know how l did suffer.
would just have to roll out of bed in
the mornings and gradually raise my
self up to a standing position. The
pain in my back would extend clean
up between my shoulder blades, and
when I went TO lace up my shoes 1
would have to get down .on my knees
and keep my back straight or simply
suffer agony. 1 not only lost twenty
six pounds in weight, but all my en-
ergy left me and l just felt miserable
all the time.
ITO tell the truth, I had just about
given up all hope when I saw Tanlac
SO highly recommended and made up
my mind to see if it would do me any
good. Well, l didn't notice much inn
provement on my first bottle, but be-
fore I finished the second bottle / was
feeling considerably better. So l kept
on taking it and improving and it
wasn't long until all the pain and stiff
ness left my back and I threw my
crutches away. When 1 finished my
sixth bottle and weighed myself ]
found l had actually gained twenty
pounds and although that was two
years ago 1 am still telling fine. 1 am
as supple and spry as boy and can
bend over and touch the floor without
bending my knees. Not only did Tan
lac set my kidneys right, but it also
put an end to my stomach trouble My
appetite Is fine and I can eat whatever
/ want without having a sign of indi-
gestion. I can't express the gratitude
Treally feel over the wonderful results

glad to tell anyone personally about

HALE AIDED HUNS


Germans always thought that by get
could do something. The record
shows no American official ever was
seduced, if we except Congressman
Buchanan, Of Illinois, who got mixed
up with Won Rintelen in the labor
peace council"
Many books and pamphlets show
ing German propaganda efforts were
produced by Mr.. Bielaski.
In recommending Hale as a pub
licity agent, Bernstorff told the for
eign office that Hale had interviewed
the former emperor in 1908, that he
had written q life of President Wilson
which was used in the 1916 campaign
and that his wife was German.
The First Move.
The beginning of the German prop
uganda. Bielaski testified was in 1914
when Dernberg and Albert formed an
Broadway, New York Albert and
Dernburg brought from Germany one
hundred and fifty million in German
securities. he said, expecting them
market for them was/not satisfactory
and only 100000 worth were sold,
that amount being used in propa-
ganda.
In october, 1915, George Sylvester
Viereck, editor of the Fatherland,
wrote to Albert suggesting that the
Fatherland be retained after the war
but that the publicity bureau should
also take steps to acquire an Ameri-
can newspaper preferably the New
York Sun of the Press. Later on Mr..
Bielaski said he would give the COM
mittee information about an attempt
to purchase the Sun by Samuel Inter
myer. Viereck suggested an arrange
ment with a New York paper which
would form an alliance with a Ger
man agency similar to the New York
Times arrangement with the London
Times.
A committee of the German prop
aganoa organization, of which Hale,
Viereck, Edward A. Rumley and 9TH
ers were members, with Albert and
Dernburg, who met frequently in New
York, Bielaski said. At one meeting
| on November 5, 1914, dernburgs
notes showed that 1t was the opinion
| of the committee that public opinion
in favor of Germany was most i'm
| portant and that every courtesy should
| be shown American correspondents in
| Germany.
At the same meeting the Dernburg
notes recorded that the Irish question
| would be an important one in the
| propaganda and that James NJ. Nc

! Y, had undertaken the organization OF
| society to conduct propaganda in

PERSHING TO THE GERMANS
Proclamation Is Issued to PeOpls
of Occupied Land.


With American Armies. Dec. e.
The following proclamation has
been issued by General Pershing to
the German people:
THE American army Is not COM
ing to make war on CIVILIAN pop
ulation. All persons who, with
honest submission, act peacefully
and obey the rules laid down by
the military authorities will be pro-
ngion and property. All others will
be brought within the rule with
firmness, vigor and promptness.
The American army will govern
in strict accordance with lnterna-
tional law and rules and customs
of war sanctioned by the civilized
world. Inhabitants on their part
must absolutely abstain in word
and deed from every act of hoStil-
ity or impeachment of any kind
toward the American forces. 1t Is
YOUR duty now to devote yourselves
to the orderly and obedient con-
duct of your private lives and at
fairs, the re-establishment or
normal conditions in schools
churches. hospitals and charitable
institutions and resumption OF your
daily civil life.
You will be unobstructed but
on the contrary will be encouraged
and protected in those pursuits.
So far as your attitude and conduct
make it possible local courts, gov
erning bodies and institutions Will
be continued in operation under
supervision of American authori-
ties. Except where they affect the
rights and security Of the Ameri-
can army, your present laws and
regulations will remAin undisturbed
and in force. Every violation OF
the laws of war, every act offering
hostility or violence and every dis
\ obedience of the rules laid down
by military authority will be pun
ished with the utmost vigor."

General March Calls for New

Makes Annual Report to the

Washington. Dec. 6.-The United
States must change its general staff

The future organization thereof should
be based upon "a broad conception of
it's Duties" he declared, adding that at
the start of the war the general staff
strength was ridiculously inadequate.
Army reorganization is being studied
by general staff divisions and a
scheme will be submitted to Secretary
Baker later.
Special stress will be laid on this
plan of development of air service.

out today failed to mention specific
production accomplishments on the
ground of military secrecy.

department distributed about $780,
900 orders, pamphlets and the like.

Chicago. Dec. e.-The Tribune: Grain
Corn traders were more mixed in their
pressions yesterday. 1t was noticeable that
most of the former friends were out Of
their lines at the close and awaiting a good
recession before buying again. A few of
the cash houses having corn sold for ship
ment the first half of December are said
to have covered their sales. while a number
of others are still out. Purchases of over
100000 bushels were made to arrive anP
several times that much sold in the pit

for lower prices. Chicago has passed from

the highest and with values the best Of the
season for present futures it encouraged
considerable selling. 1t would not surprise
many traders to see lower values for a time.
Saturdays close to the highest on yester-
day, while corn has moved up 81 arse.
This has turned some traders against eats
on the belief that they are high enough
and the short interest reduced. The sea-

days, Saturdays business being reported

ing like sick man, others in his Of
flee report. A few days later at least
two others in the same office took
sick with influenza. One of them, a
young woman, has since died. Men
have been hanged for murder on cir
cumstantial evidence no stronger than
this. What ought to be done with
such a man?
There are other similar murderers
running about the streets of Topeka.
Still if you should try to tell one of

sponsible for some ones death, he
probably would deny it indignantly.
80 Per Cent sickness Flu.
Probably at least 90 per cent of all
sickness in Topeka at the present time
is influenza, the cases ranging from
extremely mild in type to the rapidly
fatal ones. Consequently. if any one
is sick the chances are almost nine out
of ten that his illness is influenza, and
he should remain in his room and
away from other persons until he is
certain that he does not have the in
| fluenza and is not a menace to others.
With influenza as prevalent as 1t is,
any case of illness with a temperature
/ of 101 or above, without any clear
symptoms that it is some other dis.
ease, is most likely to be influenza.
The person who insists on keeping at
his work when sick with any symp-
toms suggestive of Influenza is moth
ing less than criminal. Everybody
will admit that. but still we see a lot
of them who think these rules are all
right for the other fellow. but when
they feel badly themselves they keep
on working. Nobody wants somebody
else to give him influenza. Why
should anyone try to endanger others
just for few dollars wages?"
Three deaths were reported Thurs
day. John Dwyer, 512 East Eighth
street, and Roy H. Hope, 1927 Wash
burn avenue, died late Thursday at
ternoon. Miss Catherine Ryan. 704
Tyler street. died during the night.
1t was asserted today by DIR. H l..
Clark, city health officer, that m1ny
or most of the cases of flu in Topeka
are now in their primary stage and
that deaths will not begin to be re-
ported for a day or two yet.

sued permits today as usual and in

for the most part the people of the
city are falling in line with the spirit
of the order as well as with the letter.
The council of the city of Oakland
at a meeting Thursday night passed
an ordinance on the flu situation. The
ordinance follows closely the lines laid

1T is UP TO KANSAS
Other States Have Oversubscribed
Jewish Relief Fund.

Wichita, Kan, Dec 6.-Reports ar
irving at Kansas Jewish Relief head
quarters from states which have just
closed campaigns show that every
where the quotas have been oversub-
scribed, because of the great need of
the war sufferers.
The first relief campaign was held
in Delaware and the campaign opened
in Wilmington, which set out to raise
$4,000. Under the leadership Of the
chairman, Pierre S. du Pont, the
quota was doubled. Senator Salisbury,
of Delaware, sounded the keynote of
the campaign when he declared:
This is not Jewish movement;
IBIS a human movement 1t is of hui
man beings, for human beings and by
human beings"
The spirit of Wilmington spread to
Pittsburgh, Pa, where $4,000 was
subscribed. almost twice the quota
Jews and non-Jews worked side by
side
In Newark Irish policemen helped
in the campaign by tagging automo-
biles With six pointed stars. the SYM
Dol of the campaign. Newark raised
$2SS,000 when the quota was only
100000. Trenton followed the ex-
ample of Newark and raised $4,000
when the quota was but s37.5O0. Pat
county, New Jersey. raised $4,000.
The people of Clarksdale, Miss,
with a population of $500. raised
$4,000 without batting an eyelash.
Clarksdale has but thirty-three Jewish
families.
The campaign in North Carolina was
remarkable in that there are only
1000 Jews in the entire state. The
state set out to raise 100000 for the
war sufferers. The first day they went
over the top and when the campaign
was closed three days later the re-
ceipts were more than S15O.OOO
