Sees BIG CHANGE
IN HIS SOLDIER SON
Prominent Police Official Saws
Improvement Is Due To
Tanlac.

Nearly everybody in Kansas City
either knows or has heard of Captain
J. J. Ennis, who lives at 532 Jackson
avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. Cap
tain Ennis has been a member of the
Kansas City Police force for thirty
years and is not only one of the old
est in point of service, but one of the
most popular officers in the depart
ment.
In a recent statement regarding
the benefits his son, Wilfred. has de-
rived from the use of Tanlac, Captain
Ennis said:
"The change have seen take place
in my sons health during the past
few weeks certainly speaks we'll for
Tanlac. Wilfred served with Com.
pany A 18th Engineers in France for
nearly two years and on returning was
suffering from rheumatism and stom-
ach trouble and was in a very badly
run down condition. He tells me he
had been suffering from aching Joints
in his shoulders, arms and legs for
almost year. He had no appetite
and his stomach was so weak and up
set, he couldn't retain much of any.
thing he would eat. He complained of
headaches most of the time, often had
dizzy spells, and was so weak he could
just barely drag around.
Il had been reading so many state
ments from Kansas City people about
Tanlac that I decided there must be
something to it, and after inquiring
about it of some parties, whom I have
known for years, at the drug store,
| bought bottle for Wilfred. Well,
he had not finished the first bottle
until his appetite was better and the
pains in his knees and shoulders were
not so bad. He has taken three bot.
ties up to this time and can eat and
digest anything he wants. He was
very nervous and restless before tax
ing Tanlac and could not sleep much,
but now he sleeps eight to nine hours
every night. He now has a good posi-
ton as yard clerk for the Kansas City
Terminal Railway and is able to walk
around and do his work with ease, as
the rheumatism pains have left him
entirely. He has recommended Tan
lac to several of his friends who have
used it with fine results. l consider
Tanlac the best medicine out for such
troubles and I will gladly verify this
statement for anyone who may call
to Sc me or write me-
Tanlac is sold in Raymond by AL
bert Kleinhuizen, and by one leading
druggist in every town.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Cornfisld Philosopher
HENRY FORD.

l never met Henry Ford. I never
expect to meet him. What know OF
him have cleaned from the newspap.
ers, most of it by reading between
the lines" For several months past
Mr.. Ford has been in the limelight
by virtue of reason of a lawsuit he
has had with the Chicago Tribune, be-
cause the paper in an editorial called
him an ignorant idealist" and an
anarchist" The latter term Mr..
Ford resented, and sued the Tribune,
which calls itself "the greatest news
paper in America, for one million
dollars damages.
Mr.. Ford is probably the worst hat
ed man in this country, unless it is
A. G. Townley. He has the distinc.
ton Of being the first of the big EN-.
ployers of labor who has recognized
and acted upon the principle that
workingmen have some rights-that
are bound to respect. Mr.. Ford set a
minimum rate Of wages in his factory
of $500 per day as being the least a.
mount which an American working
man can live decently and support an
average family. This action of Mr..
Ford 8 unprecedente in it's nature, and
destined to be far reaching in it's re-
suits, aroused the ire and provoked
the antagonism of all the other large
employers of labor.
WOrkingmen are entitled to such
wages only, as labor as commodity
is worth in the worlds markets."
had been the creed of employers since
time began. This doctrine, taught by
able writer's on political economy and
approved and sustained by the kept
press, and almost universally accepted
even by the workingmen themselves,
was badly challenged and set aside
by Mr.. Ford in the conduct of his own
business. He fixed scale of wages
depending largely on experience and
efficiency, running from 500 to $3.50
per day. This scale has since been
Increased to $500 and $500. By
this action, Mr.. Ford said in effect to
all other big manufacturers, "If you
wish peace and harmony in your
plants, go thou, and do nkewise."
But it was not for this he was call
ed an anarchist" Mr. Ford is a low
er of peace, not only of peace and
good win between EMPLOYERS and en-.
p1oyees, but of peace among nations
as we'll. When the American capital
lists and the organs of plutocracy were
demanding Intervention in Mexico,
Henry Ford was counselling peace
and discouraging the movement. This
was the head and front of his offend
Ing. To advocate peace when our
war lords want war, in the opinion of
the Tribune editor, makes one an an.
archtst, at least that seems to be a
fair inference from reading the edi-
.torial. The jury decided in favor OF
Mr.. Ford found that the Tribune
was guilty Of libel, and although the
damages assessed were only nominal,
yet the result is a complete vindica-
ton Of sMr. Ford's character The
number of men among the very veal
thy who hold views on public matters
that agree with those of the great
mass Of, common people, is so few,
that whom one Of this class is found,

PATRIOTS GET POOR REWARD
British Soldiers Who Won High Dis
tinction Have Right to Com
plain Of lngratitude.

Attention has been directed to the
hard case OF men who won distinction
in the great war. and seem to have
been forgotten. by two dramatic incl
dents. One is the public statement by
Sir Douglas Haig that demobllized
officer who won the V. c.. ID. ). o.,
and NJ. c., Is at present trudging the
streets of London in search of work.
The other is the announcement that
Mr.. Arthur Richlngs has rejoned the
Cardiff police force as an ordinary
constable, Notwithstanding the fact
that he has Just rellnqulshed the army
rank Of lieutenant colonel.
The latter's record Is an astounding
one. He was promoted second lieu
tenant on the field, and his subsequent
promotions were astonlshingly rapid.
Mentioned in dispatches three times
he wears six wound stripes, the Mons
Star. the Croix de Guerre with
palms,, the. Military Cross, and is also
a Chevaller Of the Legion Of Honor.
Perhaps one may be pardoned for
questioning whether there is not some
thing wrong with an army admins
tration which allows a man with an
active service record like that to dis
appear into the decent obscurlty of a
police constable's tunic. = Montreal

MIGRATORY Bird Law.

The constitutionallty OF the federal
migratory bird treaty act, approved
July 3, 1918. is upheld in an opinion
rendered not long ago by Federal
Judge Jacob Trleber of the eastern
district of Arkansas In the case of the
United States against E. d. Thomp-
son of Memphis, charged with killing
and possessing one robin in violation
of the act.
This Is one of the most important
decisions ever rendered affecting the
conservation of wild life. 1t sustains
the right of congress to enact legisla-
tion to insure the execution of the
terms Of the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, concluded
August 16. 1916, for the protection Of
migratory birds In the United States
and Canada.
1t will be recalled that Judge Trie-
ber in 1914. in the case of United
States against Harvey c. Shaver, de
cided that the migratory bird law, ap-
proved March 4, 1913, was unconsti-
tutional. The present law repealed
the act of 1913.-Birmingham Age

Paid a War Bet.

War bets are now being paid by the
people who were wont to say. "You
can't beat Germany" Morgan J.
O'Brien, former judge Of the Supreme
court of New York, recently gave "the
best dinner that money could buy" to
Gen. Coleman Dupont and 20 of the
latter's friends, because Of difference
of opinion as to German prowess. The
justice thought the allies could not get
into Soissons last year by a certain
date the general was sure they could.
They did; and the outcome for which
Judge O'Brlen paid heavy bill, was
called the "Soissons dinner."-The

SARDINIA LIVES IN ME PAST
Hand sickIes and Wooden PIows
Drawn by Oxen Are Still In
Use on the Island.

Relics of Biblical pastoral life, plow-
ing with wooden hooks drawn by oxen,
reaping by the most primitive imple-
ments and other occupations of the
nomadlc peoples Of antiquity remain
the manner Of living today in Sardinia,
according to DR.. Alfred z. Dennis,
commercial attache Of the United
States embassy at Rome. who has just
returned from the island after making
an exhaustive study into trade possi-
biities.
"Sardlnians present a living picture
Of the remote past which has been.
stereotyped and handed down from
antiquity" said Doctor Dennis. "Wa-
ter wheels with earthen buckets, wood
en- plows drawn by oxen, the scyihe
and the sickle still In use in reaping
vast fields-nomadic occupations un-
changed since the days of tho Aryan
dispersionrtribal costumes as gay and
grotesQue as the trapplngs of the me
dieval pageant-all reproduced in the
veriest similltude the archaic life OF
bygone ages"

Doing Him a Favor.

When my cousin, newly commits
stoned. was sent to Camp Grant he
found himself in command of lot of
draft men drawn mainly from our
slum district. One in particular took
quite a fancy to him and never lost a
chance of doing him favor.
One day after the man had been
in camp only a week or so he ran
breathlessly up to my cousin, who was
in the far end Of a trench. He re-
membered to salute after fashion,
then stood plainly trying to think what
to do next. Finally he burst out,
''Beat 1t, mister, while de COINS good.
De boss is after youse, and gosh, he's
sorew
The colonel was at the other end of
the trench calling for the officer in
charge.-Chicago Tribune.
