FARMER UNABLE To help

KETTNER WAS so RUNDOWN HE
COULDN'T WORK-GAINS Is
POUNDS ON TANLAC

"You can't blame me for talking so
much about Tanlac, for it has not
only added twenty-eight pounds to
my weight, but has completely over
come my troubles" said o. A. Ket-
tner, well known and prosperous
farmer who lives on Route No. l,
Downs, Illinois, the other day.
81 just thought / was doomed to
suffer the rest of my days." continu-
ed Mr.. Kettner, land / guess that
would have been the case if / had not
gotten hold of this Tanlac. You see,
| had been in bad health for about
twelve years, and | failed completely
to find anything that would do me any
good. MY stomach was in such bad
condition hatI would just suffer ago
mics every time l ate anything. My
food would sour on my stomach and |
would be all bloated up with gas for
hours at time My kidneys were out
of order all the time, too, and | would
have the worst sort of pains in the
small of my back. Then rheumatism
struck me, and from that time on
had all the suffering that was coming
to me. Why, | got so bad off that l
couldn't even help the boys do little
jobs around the place. | just went
from bad to worse, and finally made
up my mind that | would just have
to give up trying to run my farm.
"Well, l heard about this Tanlae
then, and l bought a couple of bottles,
and began taking it. Now, the first
two bottles didn't seem to do me any
good at all, and was about ready to
drop Tanlac, but / figured that my
case was one of long standing, and
that | hadn't given the medicine q
good showing so | bought one more
bottle. That third bottle hit the spot
and in little or no time | was picking
up right along, and from that time on
improved as fast as any man you
ever saw, and | am as hale and hearty
as | ever was in my life. l never have
sign of rheumatism now, and my
kidneys seem to be in first class condi-
ton. | don't believe | ever had q
better appetite, and | get away with
three square meals every day, and
am never bothered with indigestion
or any other kind of stomach trouble
now. can now get out in the field
and do as much work In day as any
man on my farm. Yes sir, TanlaC
was a God send to me, and just fee

about this wonderful medicine

HOW LAW DEFINES INToxICANT

A Washington news dispatch sum-
aries as follows regarding the new
prohibition law passed by the House
OF Representative. The Senate will
doubtless make some changes in the
house bill:
Intoxicating" liquor is alcohol,
brandy, whisky, rum, gin, beer, ale,
porter, wine, and any "spirituous, vim
Gus, malt or fermented liquor, liquids
and compounds, whether indicated,
proprietary, patented, or not, and by
whatever name called, containing one
half of one percentum or more of al
cohol by volume which are portable
or capable of being used as a bever-
age"
No person cen sell, give, barter or
give away, transport, export, import,
deliver, furnish, receive or possess any
forbidden intoxicants, exceptions be-
ing for manufacture of certain medi-
cines, toilet articles or havoring ex-
tracts, or sacramento purposes.
Advertising of forbidden beverages
is unlawful. Homes may be searched
for whisky kept for sale.
The general fund of the state con
tains nearly 100000 more than it
did year ago, as shown by the report
of Treasurer johnson for the fiscal
year ending on .:@..e 80. 1t shows
that there is 1891, 500 in the general
fund and s7,55S,647 in all funds.
Government has printed list of the
things that are taxed. This is an ex-
ample of government waste Think
how much cheaper it would have been
to print list of the things that are
not taxed.
United States minis established a
new record for monthly output in
June by turning out 98,161 900 pieces
of money. Of the total pieces o.
364 900 We're pennies.
Comes news from New York that
on July 1 the consumption of water in
that hectic burg was 23,OO0,O0O gal
Ions more than on June 80, and yet il
is but few scant days since we were
assured that though the heavens fall
New York would not quit the drink
ing of its booze.

NV dear Mr.. Harris On Decoration day /
was in L'Harve and helped with the other
Americans TO decorate the graves of cur boys.
We each took the names of one or two. that
might write to tell their dear about
the services and the little cemetery where they
resting. You will find enclosed the film
and copy of the picture which took of your
sons grave.
The Americans are buried in one corner of
big French cemetery on hill overlooking
L'Barve. 1t is a square plot of white crosses
and a fOwery border around il all. Just
across is a larger space where English Can
dams and Australians are at rest-further on
a the graves of French soldiers.
Decoration Day bright and warm, and
abt ut twenty of Y. NJ. e. A. girls, who
weI, waiting to go to Paris, helped in max
ing bouquets for decorating our soldiers rest
ing places-then We all went 10 the cemetery.
wish you could have been there with us. On
one side of the square American soldiers were
in fOrmation-eighty American girls were on
the next side-French soldiers were on the
next side A chaplain offered prayer and
talked for a few minutes. We all sang Near
er, My God, TO Thee. A knight of Columbus
man said three Hail Mary's" for the souls
of the boys. Then a French general spoke
most earnestly of the love of his people for
our and brothers at home in France
that love makes it their country. Bel
GUM general and the Mayor of LHarve spoke,
after which we sang Rock of Ages" and the
Americans joined in arranging flowers on the
graves. IL was most simple and wonderfully
impressive.
May l offer my sincere sympathy for you in
your great loss. l hope you will feet that your
hoy IS only away for while and believe that
he died nObly and in good / am liv-
ing in one of the devastated towns of northern
France in a sector where our boys were fight
ing a year agO-and one who has felt the
spirit of the place can0t help but feel that our
sacrifice was not in vain. Very truly yours,

YOUNG PIGS NEED ATTENTION
Special Care Should Be Given to
Housing and Bedding-keep Them
Dry and Comfortable.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultureo
Ordinarily the fall crop of pigs Is
farrowed between the middle of Au-
gust and the 10th of October. 1t is
highly important that sows be well
fed and carefully tended during this
time, the care and management of the
dams being practically the same as
that followed when the spring filters
are narrowed. Similarly, fall pigs, af-
ter they are weaned, should be treat
ed the same as spring pigs, except
that in many parts of the country fall
pigs do not have access to green for
age crops.
In the northern and colder locations,
special attention should be devoted to
housing and bedding the porkers,
particularly the young pigs. These
youngsters should never be allowed
to sleep in sheds or pens where they
are exposed to rain or snow, nor
should they'be allowed to lie on damp
bidding. Supplying the fall pigs with

LOVE FOR GOOD LIVE STOCK
Boys and Girls Clubs Teach Members
That Cattle Raising Is Most
Profitable.

The two most valuable assets 10.
the amateur stockman to possess in
order TO become a successful live stock
breeder are: First, an interest and
incentive for raising good stock, and
second, practical experience supple
mented with a thorough technical
knowledge of selecting, feeding, judg-
ing, and breeding, according to j. L.
Tingle. of the Colorado Agricultural
College, who says: Most of our
greatest like stock breeders of today
entered their profession on account of
their love for good stock and their
practical experience enabled them to
make a success of the business.
"Both theoretical training and prac-
teal experience are necessary for the
best success. Especially is this true
at present-a time when feed, labor,
and stock are high. There has never
been time when the live stock indus
try demanded more thorough knowl-
edge of proper feeding, breeding han
ding, and selecting than at present.
'sThe objects sought through the
boys and girls clubs include the above
| essentials for success, and in addition
they endeavor to teach the members
that the work is enjoyable, profitable,
! instructive and offers an incentive for
securing an agricultural education.
Boys as well as men are looking for
practical training and there is no bet
ter way for them to secure it than
through the clubs.
"Eyery farmer and stockman should
be more than anxious for his son to
get into some kind of live stock club.
He should not only advise his boy TO

HOW THE SQUIRREL HELPS
Uncle Sam Needs Seeds of Douglas
Fir and Knows Where to
Find Them.

Tree seed can't be bought in large
quantities in the market. To restock
the huge forests which are demolished
every year, Uncle Sam needs the seeds
Of the Douglas ar. western yellow
pine, Engelmann spruce, lodge pole
pine, not by the pound. but literally
by the ton.
The government needs men. from
two to six weeks every fall, to gather
seed. When the call goes out, lumber
jacks, college men. hoboes and former
convicts drift into the camps and work
side by side, gathering huge stores of
the precious seeds. Through expert
ence they have found that their rich
est sources are the cunningly hidden
squirrel boards. The squirrel is canny;
he always picks the very best of cones
for his winters store.-The Nations
