SUFFERED EVERY
DAY FOR Il YEARS
John Bird Gains 80 Pounds and Is
Restored to Health by
TanIac.

For II years before l took Tan
lac not a single day passed that I
didn't suffer with stomach trouble
said John Bird, Norris, Ill, a well
known miner employed by the Mol
ris Coal company, while talking to
the Tanlac representative a few
days ago.
Everything I ate hurt me ter
ribly and gave me cramping pains
right in the pit of my stomach"
continued Mr. Bird. and gas would
bloat me up so bad that 1 would
get so dizzy 1 would almost fall
over before / could catch some
thing to hold me up. 1 got to haT-
ing rheumatism in my legs so bad
that they swelled up almost twice
as big again as they were, and talk
about pain, I had to keep my legs
all bandaged and bathed in lini-
ment, and even this didn't stop the
suffering, why, I wish 1 had a dol
lar for every time rheumatism kept
me awake all night long. If you
want to know how awful I felt
when l had to go down and mine
coal, just stop and think about the
fix l was in, with not being able to
eat enough to keep me hardly
alive, and then to drag myself
down in a cold, damp mine, with
my legs already giving me fits, I
tell you I don't see how l ever held
out as long as I did
Il could find nothing at all that
would help me, and l was about to
give up the ghost, as the fellows
say, but right then I heard some OF
the other fellows talking about
Tanlac and telling how it had help
ed them. so l thought it might do
me some good and l commenced
taking it, too. Well sir, l have
never seen anything hit the spot
like Tanlac hit my troubles and
knocked them awinding. I never
know what it means to have any
thing wrong with my stomach now,
and 1 have such a fine appetite
that I am actually ashamed of the
way eat. The rheumatism has so
completely disappeared that 1 can't
feel even the least trace of it, and
l am as we'll and strong as when
I was a boy, and I never was able
to mine as much coal in my life as
7 have been lately. l have gained
30 pounds or more and people who
saw me before took Tanlac don't
hardly know me now. l tell my
friends that Tanlac did it all and q
lot of them have lost no time in
getting it themselves. 1 take pleas
lure in giving this statement be
cause I believe in giving credit
where credit is due and a lot of II
is certainly due Tanlac.

 By Army of That Leader, London Dispatches Have Announced

London, Oct. r via Montreal The latest authoritative news re- garding the military situation in Southern Russia is that the army of Gen. Denikine on the extreme left of the line has taken Chernigoff And is advancing northWard along the east bank of the Dniepcr river toward Co., mel. CThe right of the Polish army it was stated last week, rests on the Dnieper at GOmel about 70 miles from Chenigon, so that a junction Of the two armies would be effective should Denikine reach Gomel)

 In East Russia the Bolsheviki forces are compelled to adopt purely defensive tactics owing to the great demands upon the Bolsheviki effec- lives elsewhere.

/ be not even a crust to eat.
| He is to blame, of course. His law
lessness and his crimes are not to be
condoned. But it is they who were
| long his masters who are yet most
to blame, and whom God will hold to
the strictest account.
Think of what the Government in
Russia has been through the centur-
les. 1t has been a government under
which a common man dared not say
his soul was his own. 1t was a gov
eminent of the knout, the dungeon,
the sword and the hangman's rope.
Think, too, the insane and bloody
rulers who sat upon the throne of
that great, accursed Muscovy-Peter,
Ivan, Catherine and all the rest
fiends they were in human form. The
thumbscrew and the rack were their
playthings; the cries of their victims
was the music of their ears.
Is it any wonder, then, that when a
day came that the throne of the Cars
was hurled forever in the dust of the
road and suddenly, as is the lightnings
of heaven, the dumb and beaten mujik
found the lash fallen from the hands
of his tormentors, and power gone
from the grasp of courts, that he
leaped forth in his wild orgy of blood
and death?
1t is the whirlwind that was sown
in the winds of the past. 1t is the
answer to thousands of years of in
fanny and wrong.
But, let US not despair of better
day for Russia and for Europe, whose
head is now bowed and bloody. This
hour will at length spend its force.
The drunken orgy of lust and lawless-
ness and death will end. Out of it all
will come the sober thought and the
| light of reason.
Already are the eyes Of those who
bend to the storm turned toward
America, whose vast patience and
whose vast love stands ready to sue
cor and to aid. Out of the wide and
deep strength that God has given us
we shall lend the comfort of our help.
1t is indeed dark hour for Eu-
rope-the darkest, perhaps, that it
has ever known. But it is that dark
est hour before the dawn. The day is
breaking. The glory of the sun is ev-
en- now striking against the sky upon
the hills of the morning.
Out of the whirlwind speaks the
voice of God as it spoke to job and to
many another. Listen, and you shall
hear it speak. Harken with attentive
ear and you shall receive the message.
Then, yet a little while, and they
shall arise over yonder, and they shall
say:

A HIGHWAY ENGIN-
EER'S IDEAS

Fredericktown, Mo-, Jan. 16.-You
say in a recent editorial that "there
is no stout argument against good
roads," No, there is not. But there
is stout argument why the taxpay-
ers of Missouri should not burden
themselves just yet with a 100000
900 debt, and for this very good rea-
son:
The existing road law is lawyer
made road law, not made by a body of
experienced highway engineers. This
road law does nowhere provide for
trained highway engineers to do the
work. Those that drafted that law
simply assumed, like everybody else,
that anybody can build roads,, Just
give us the money.
There are very few highway engin-
GERS in the State yet, whereas every
county needs one. The results co
complished by those cobblers that are
put in charge is botch work of the
very commonest kind, no engineering
whatever.
What is the reason of the friction
in the highway department between
the State Highway Board and the
highway engineers l do not know the
particulars, but most likely it is be-
cause the four members of that board
do not know the b of highway en-
cheering, whereas that board ought
to be made up of the best highway en-
gineers obtainable.-Jas. Bachler, IN

WILL TWIN CALVES BREED?

The breeding ability of twin calves
is subject that is widely discussed
and often misunderstood. Twin bulls
are as sure breeders as bulls of single
birth and there is no reason to- sus-
pect failure to breed when bull is
twinned with another bull, says w. w.
SWEET of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. The same
thing can be said of heifers that are
twined together. They are as sure
to be breeders as any other heifers:
When heifer and bull are born
together, the heifer is known as a
free-martin. The bull, twinned with
heifer, is as certain to be breeder
as bull Of single birth, but the free
martin heifer is almost sure to be
sterile. Only q very few martins
have been known to breed, and the
chances are very small that they will
ever reproduce, As a rule 1t Is moi
advisable to raise free-martin heifers
as they usually result in failures anc
are worth no more than their beef
value.

LEGISLATIVE LETTER
By Means Raw.

Despite the advice of Senator Sci
don =. Spencer and a section of the
Constitution of Missouri that Stat'
Senatorial districts cannot be changed
at this session of the legislature
some Republican members are endea.
voring to not only block all moves to.
ward a new constitution, but all RENE
dial Legislation offered for this ses-
sion.
1t is known that Senator Spencer
has given it as his opinion that the
State cannot be re-districted at this
time, but the Senator has advised al
so that his opinion regarding the mat
ter should be kept quiet because of
the political effect that talk of a pill
of this character will have on Repub-
lican members Of the legislature.
The effort to line all Republicans
against the wholesome recommended
tons of Governor Frederick D. Gard
ner is having but little effect, a num-
Der of Republican members declare.
The constitution provides that the
senatorial districts be formed at the
first session of the legislature after
each census and if not then by the
Governor, Attorney General and Sec
rotary of State within thirty days af-
ter the adjournment Of the session."

sion VIII come up over a bill providing

clares that some club must be held ov-
er persons sentenced TO prison for life
who kill for the remotest chance of es-
cape.
More than 500 bills have been intro
duced thus early in the session. They
affect everything from justices of the
peace court to amending the Holy
Writ.

How to Figure Business Income
"A person buying and selling mer.
chandise must find his profits for the
year on the following basis: First, as
certain the gross sales or total cash
receipts. Then add together the in.
ventory at the beginning of the year
and the purchases Of goods for sale
From this latter sum subtract the in.
ventory of goods on hand at the years
end, and the result is the cost Of goods
sold. This cost, plus necessary OK
penses incurred solely through con
duct Of the business, is to be deducted
from the gross sales, and the result
| is the net earnings of the business.
"A professional man arrives at his
professional income by ascertaininl
the total fees for services and deduc.
ting therefrom all expenses connected
directly and solely with his practice.
The Farmers Income
"a farmer must figure up all in.
come derived from the sale or ex
change of products during the year
whether such produce was raised or
the farm or purchased and resold. He
is allowed to deduct from this total
his expenses of the year connected
with the planting, cultivation, harvest.

care, feeding and marketing Of live

A feature Of the Puget Sound Trac-
ton, Light 4 Power company's con
tract with the lntermountain Power
company is that the Seattle corpora
ton is allowed to purchase the sur
plus power supplied by the Washing
ton Water Power company at a stipu-
lated rate. That is. if conditions on
Puget Sound should require the use
of outside power and the Milwaukee
did not ahppen to be using the Wash
ington Water Power company's cur
rent the traction company could have
the use OF the surplus. And this is a
condition very likely TO exist soon. 1t
may even exist now, though it is un-
likely
So, whenever the traction company
load becomes too heavy for that cor
poration to handle from its own plants
the surplus may be provided by the

transmission of the Eastern Washing
ton power to Olympia is not only de'
clared feasible, but it is counted upon
by traction company officials as some
thing very apt to occur at any time.
The mileage involved in transmit
ting power from the Long Lake plant
of the Washington Water Power com
pany to Olympia or Tumwater Is
divided thus: From Long Lake 10
Taunton. where the power is dellv-
cred to the Milwaukee, a distance OF
ll3 miles. From Taunton to Tacoma
the transmission lines follow the
route of the Milwaukee, the mileage
being 1876. From Tacoma to Olympia
the Puget Sound Traction, Light a
Power company has its own transmits
sion lines. 3 0 miles in length.
In Montana the Milwaukee delivers
current for a distance of 200 miles.
Stone & Webster interests have the
Big Creek plant in California which
furnishes power to consumers 40
miles away. These two transmsslons
are regarded by electrical engineers
as the greatest in the country and
both fall far below the expected de.
livery of Long Lake power in Olym'
pia.
