BEATS HOT SPRINGS
Hendryx Got No Relief From
Four Trips to Health Resort.
Gained Thirty-Four Pounds by
Taking Tanlac.

Il have not only gained thirty-four
pounds since 1 commenced taking
Tanlac, but for the first time in four
teen years 1 am able to eat square
meal without suffering agonies after
wards" said A. J. Hendryx, sos South
Clinton street, Bloomington, Ill, the
other day.
II suffered from so many different
causes during that time" continued
Mr.. Hendryx, that 1 hardly know
how to begin telling about it. First
of all, my stomach went back on me,
and every time 1 ate anything would
have the worst sort of cramping pains,
and 1 finally got to the point where a
soft boiled egg, or glass of water
even, would upset me. My kidneys
were in bad condition, too, and 1 suf-
fered terribly with pains in my back,
and sometimes when 1 stopped over.
these pains were SO severe that /
couldn't straighten up again and
would just have to lie down on the
ground until it passed off. Then
rheumatism struck me, and very often
my feet and legs were so badly
swollen that I could hardly stand up,
and the pain was so severe that
hardly ever slept well. 1 had the
best of treatment and tried many diff
ferent kinds of medicine, but 1 grad
ually got worse all the time. I went
to Hot Springs four different times
and would get a little relief while
taking the treatment, but as soon as
1 got back home all my. troubles
would start up again.
''Tanlac came along then, and
thought I would give it a trial and
see If it was any better than the rest
of the medicine I had been taking.
Well, about all I can say is that Tan
lac did the work for me, and 1 am
as sound and free from pain as I ever
was in my life. The rheumatism is
gone and all the agony 1 went through
on account of it is a thing of the past.
Those awful pains have left my back
and my kidneys seem to be in per-
feet condition. I have the best ap-
petite 1 ever had in my life, and my
stomach troubles have been so COM
pletely overcome that everything eat
agrees with me all right. / am as
strong and robust as any man in
Bloomington, and can do as much
hard work as the best of them. 1 am
not tormented with pain at night now,
but sleep like a log, and get up in the
mornings feeling fine and dandy.
Tanlac did all that for me. and that is
why We talk about it so much at our
house"
TANLAC is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co, S35 Kansas
Ave, and 1923 Kansas Ave.-Adv.

SURPLUS OF HANDS
Wheat Belt Has More Men Than
Needed Now.

The great wheat belt is literally
swamped with harvest hands. accord
ing to J. VIII Kelley. director of the
federal employment bureau here.
Whereas only few days ago farmers,
Chambers of Commerce and other or
CARNATIONS were sending in frantic ap-
peals for more men, the appeals are
now just as frantic to quit sending
them, he said.
Thousands of men are now leaving
the wheat belt for their homes in 9TH
er sections of the country and men
now coming in with the expectation
of getting jobs in the harvest fields are
likely to be disappointed. The Kan
sas harvest, of course. is over Ne
braska is practically thru and the cut
ting in South Dakota is progressing
rapidly. No more men can be used.

HATRED FOR U. S.
Englishman Says That Elk
plains Mexican Outrages.
Declares Ambassador Fletcher
Was Openly Insulted.

Washington. July 23.-W. B. Mitch
ell, former manager of the bank of
London in Mexico City. told the house
rules committee today that the send
ing Of two American military expedi-
tons into Mexico and their subsequent
withdrawal is largely responsible for
the American feeling in the
southern republic. The committee is
considering q resolution authorizing
Investigation of the relations between
the two countries.
DO you think the feeling against
Americans was strengthened by the
belief that America or its people were
afraid to assert their rights?" asked a
member of the committee.
Yes said the witness. Twice
American expeditions entered the
country and then Withdrew
THE Mexicans then had contempt
for Americans?'
Yes"
Mr. Mitchell said there was a strong
anti-American spirit in the Carranza
administration. Discussing the mis-
witness said the "riff-raff in the Mexi-
can army was largely responsible for
depredations in Mexico" Americans
are not being treated with the same
| consideration as other foreigners, the
witness said, adding that Henry P.
4
was openly insulted on the streets of
| Mexico City while enroute to attend
| the inauguration of President Car
| rama, while the German ambassador
was cheered. Mr.. Mitchell disagreed
with the statement before the COM
mittee by Ambassador Fletcher that
one reason why Americans were
\ greater sufferers at the hands of
I Mexicans was that they outnumbered
| the citizens of other foreign coun-
| tries. He said there were more Span
| ish and French than Americans in
! Mexico. Germans, he said, generally
are well treated.
Mrs. John CorreIl, of Ada, Okla,
whose husband was killed near Tam
pico recently by a band of Mexicans
who also maltreated her, told the
| committee that no effort was made
| by the Mexican government to appre-
bend the murders. She remained at
| her home about a week before return
! ing to the United States. she said but
| in that time no representatives of the
| Carranza government called to discuss
the attack or attempt to run down
| the bandits.
Kidnap a Citizen.
The kidnapping of Lawrence L. Ship
ley, an American citizen by Mexican
| bandits near Fresnillo, Mexico, last
Saturday, was reported to the state
department. Shipley is a native of

Yorkshire Area, England.

London, July 23.-Troops were
moved today into the Yorkshire area

Geddes, the governments representa-
tive, explained that the move was for

Yorkshire movement There was no
great accession of strength to the
strike movement today. The men on
strike total about 275,000, yorkshire,
Derbyshire, Nottingham and Mon

Operation to Congress.
For 20 OR 80 GREAT SYSTEMS
Favor Rate Making Rule As

Washington. July 22.-Private own
ership and operation of railroads
merged into twenty or thirty great
competing systems under the super
vision OF a federal transportation
board. with a statutory rule Of rate
making assuring to the roads net re-
turn OF six per cent was offered to the

The plan of the national transporta-
ton conference. Harry A. Wheeler,
OF Chicago. former president Of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
states. which assembled the confer
ence, explained that hearings had been
Held for six months at which all inter
ests had been heard.
Speed Up Legislature.
/ Continued government operation
until remedial legislation is enacted,
was urged by the conference, with the
1lniitation that such legislation should
ne enacted this year. With the return
~ the roads. at a time when many
probably will be showing deficits. the
conference thought there should be
1nade available by congress a railroad
reserve fund of S5O0.OOO,000 admin
tstered by the proposed federal trans
portation board for the Sterilization of
the roads credit and to facilitate the
recommended consultations. The sum
eventually would be returned to the
Movement.
T. Government guarantee of earnings
was not favored by the conference In
Etead, 1t was urged that the Inter
state Commerce Commission be made
responsible for rates and fares de-
signed to yield the carriers in each
designated traffic section not less than
8 per cent upon the aggregate fair
value of the property. Those roads
earning more than 8 per cent would
be required to put half the excess into
n company contingent fund until the
fund amounted to per cent of the
fair value OF the company's property,
the other half going to a general rail-
road contingent fund administered by
trustees appointed by government au-
thority and maintained for the benefits
of all the railroads of the country.
After any roads contingent fund
reached the 6 per cent requirement, its
annual contribution of excess earn
1hgs to the general contingent fund
would be increased to two-thirds the
remaining. one-third of this excess
being retained by the company for
distribution among stockholders or
pther lawful purposes.
Declare Grouping Essential.
y The general railroad contingent
flnd would be used to assure the s
per cent return without entailing a
government guarantee or unreason-
able rates.
o. Grouping or consolidation of the
railroads into competing systems was
declared to be essential, because
railroad rates must be the same for
similar services. whether performed
by the weak, necessitous railroads or
by the strong, prosperous one" The
grouping should be about the present
Futc oil
cial lines and not by arbitrary terri
eorial subdivisions.
