HIS OLD FRIENDS
DION 7 KNOW HIM
Illinois Man Moved Away Seeking
Health--Gains Thirty Pounds
Praises Tanlac.

i William Johnson, who left Peoria,
! Illinois few years ago in search OF
/ health, came back to his old home for
a visit, recently, so improved that
/ his friends and relatives hardly knew
him on first sight,
| "A few years ago., said Mr.. John
son, II moved to Aliens Park, Colo
RADIO. my present home, for no other
reason than to try and get back my
long lost health. l was SO complete
trouble, disordered kidneys and ner-
vousness that couldn't do any good
at my trade as carpenter. But
neither change of climate nor any
kind Of medicine did me any good and
a kept getting worse. l was not only
disappointed, but badly discouraged,
as my stomach got in such bad fix
that ] could not eat anything without
bloating all UP with gas so that I
could scarcely breathe. This gas
caused my heart to skip beats and, at
times, the pains in my stomach were
so severe that l would just lie down
on the floor and roll over and over. My
stomach was so sour that it burned
like fire and often had such terrible
sick headaches that i could not get
out of the house for day or two at
a time. My kidneys bothered me con-
stantly and my back couldn't have
hurt me much worse if it had been
breaking in two These pains in my
back were so intense for little while
at time that couldn't move mus
Gle | could hardly get any sleep and
was just miserable.
Finally friend of mine, knowing
my dreadful condition, begged me
into trying Tanlac l was SO anxious
to get well that I was willing to try
anything. So started on Tanlac and
in a few days had an appetite that
absolutely surprised me. In short
time was eating things that I had
not dared touch in twelve years. and
they did not hurt me. began sleep
ing better and could see some i'm
provement every day. So 1 just stuck
right to Tanlac and 1t has made
new man of me. / now have good
business in Colorado and am able to
look after 1t because my health is
fine. / am thirty pounds heavier
than when | began taking Tanlac,
haven't an ache nor pain, and can
work as well as 1 ever could in my
life. My stomach is in fine shape,
eat like a mountain lion and one meal
tastes as good as another In fact,
/ am well man in every way and I
wouldn't give one bottle of Tanlac for
all the changes of climate or any kind
of medicine you could mention"
Tanlac is sold in Keokuk by Wilkin-

Motor Thefts.

If Special Detective Connors, just
named for the duty, can catch some
of the auto thieves who have been
lately operating in this city he will
confer a boon upon the community.
He has a difficult task. The motor
thieves are shrewd and bold, and they
are hard at work, taking a heavy toll
from the people. Many cars have been
lately stolen, some taken from the
streets, some from garages. Few re-
coveries have been effected. The cars
are doubtless shipped away from here
and disguised and sold. There must
be market for them, and if this could
be discovered the thefts could be
checked. In this work of detection
every citizen should be alert. If any
person is seen entering a parked car
that is known to belong to another at
tention should be called to it. Motor
owners for their own protection should
carry their licenses in their pockets,
not under the seat cushions or in the
door flaps where they can be found by
the thieves, but on their persons, so
that they can Immediately establish
identity on occasion. The best pos
sible locking devices should be en-
ployed. In many cases the careless
ness of owners aids the thieves. In
every instance of theft report should
be made Immediately to police head
quarters so that the quickest possible
search can be made for the lost ma
chimes. Through such cooperation
the police work will be made easier.

The Refuse Disposal Plant.

The reasons advanced by the Distric.
Commissioners for not interfering with
the erection of refuse disposal plant
near Mount Olivet cemetery are not
satisfactorily convincing. First they
say that they do not feel warranted
in classifying the proposed plant as
an establishment of the character
specified by the building regulations
requiring the consent of the joint
property owners. Then they declare
that inasmuch as a permit for the con-
struction has been issued they are with
out power to revoke it. The latter
statement implies that they might have
refused the permit in the first place if
the people had protested vigorously
enough, even though the classification
does not put the construction within
the property owners consent category.
The Commissioners, however,. might

Hasten the Climax!

1t now appears that the allied peace
council will probably not be able to
make its reply to the German delegates
before Thursday OF Friday of next
week instead of Monday, as first sug-
gested. But at the same time it is
announced that probably the Germans
will be given short time limit,
perhaps four days, in which to render
their final decision on the peace treaty
In that event the die for peace or re-
newed warfare will be cast early next
week, only little later than appeared
likely yesterday.
1t is gratifying t. learn that the
present disposition OF the allied peace
council is to give the Germans a short
shrift for their final answer They
have had sufficient time to consider the
ease from all angles. They were given
originally a fortnight for examining
and answering the peace treaty initial
ly, and were then granted an additional
week. Even then they were permitted
to submit supplementary notes. They
have written unanimously in reply to
and protest against the treaty in all
its aspects. They cannot with justice
claim lack of a hearing.
Pnstraction of the discussion at Paris
is precisely what the Germans want.
It is making for difficulties through
out Europe. 1t is affording the enemy
opportunity to promote discord in the
allied ranks. It permits the prosecu-
ton of warfare between Hungary and
Rumania. It keeps the entire near
east in turmoil. There is no peace to-
day in Europe, and there will be none
until a treaty has been signed with
Germany, followed by one with Aus
tria. To the end of peace, therefore,
speed is necessary.

great majority Of both republicans and
democrats will muster under old in
fluences.
1t may be, however, that as the cam
paign progresses individuals here and
there will change from one side to the
other as the result of new cries and
new policies which reconstruction will
produce. There is a good deal to be
reconstructed and when the work is
taken up for shaping, voters will fol-
low every step with close attention. In
some cases, therefore, new cries may
prove stronger than old ones. Some
voters who were republicans under the
old cries may become democrats I'M
der the new cries, and vice versa.
Such was the experience after the
civil war. The new issues produced
by that great struggle caused many
new party alignments, and some con-
spicuous personal changes from one
party to the other. They likewise en-
couraged some men Of extreme views
to try the experiment of organizing
new parties, though not one of such
ventures lived very long, or influenced
matters materially during its existence.

The 312th Battalion.

Washington welcomed its 1ost bat
talon" this morning and is entertain
ing it today with enthusiasm and
heartfelt gratitude for its return after
vicissitudes and hardships and suffer
ings. The men Of the 312th Machine
Gun Battalion not only got into action
in France, but played very important
part in the allied advance last autumn
that broke the German strength. Their
service in the capture of Montfaucon
and their advance through the Argonne
marked them as men st that high quail
ity that made American participation
in the war the finally deciding factor.
They finched at nothing. In the Ar
gonne their work was of the most diff
cult kind, the most dangerous. It was
upon this terrain that the Germans
based their confident expectation of
ability to hold the general line. The
American advance through it astound-
ed them and broke their spirit. And
it was in this advance that the men
Of the 312th distinguished themselves,
suffering serious losses. Many of
those who went forth from here and
were enrolled in this unit now lie in
France. Others are crippled. Some
are recovering even now from their
wounds. For all of them, those who
have returned and those who have been
lost, the capital pays its highest trib-
ute of admiration and affection.

fact that such q construction would
inevitably arouse protest, and their
haste in granting the permit, which
they declare they cannot revoke, might
be interpreted as indicative of fear
that the people would protest if given
an opportunity. In matter Of this
kind the public interest certainly re-
quires consideration of the welfare of
those directly affected. The Commits
sioners have practically invoked a
technicality to justify their original
course against the interest Of the peo-
pie, who have clearly shown in the
belated hearing granted that they ap-
prehend serious discomfort and damage
from the installation of the refuse
plant. In these circumstances the ap-
peal of the citizens to Congress for
action that will prevent the imposi-
ton upon them of an establishment
that in the best of circumstances can
not fail to be nuisance is altogether
justified.

Politics Again the Wear.

Polities-the simon pure, unadul-
terated ARTICLES again the wear. 1t
sppsars in the debates of Congress, in
the columns Of the daily press, in dis
eussions at the lunchrooms and ON the
eurbstones, everywhere. All topics
seem to lead to it. The slightest provo
cation produces it.
A. time passes We shall see this
spirit grow warmer. The next great
quadrennial contest is on. Polling
day, it is true, is nearly eighteen
months away. But managing poll
tieiaus responsible for party conditions
are already on the move, and that
means business. Every helper, what
ever his station or speciality, must get
into action. All are responding to the
call.
The spirit will grow the warmer be,
cause Of the period of cooperation be-
tween the parties from which we have
just emerged. The war brought men
together on public policies who had
but seldom held intimate public rela.
tiOns with each other. 1t was the
proper course to take, and to hold while
the war lasted.
But now that the war is over and
We have swung away to peace matters
again, the normal is in order. And
