HIS BIGGEST CROP
Short Is Able to Do Heavy Work
Now.
Has Gained Twenty-One Pounds
by Taking Tanlac.

'I have just gotten thru the biggest
harvest I ever had, and know il it
hadn't been for Tanlac building me
up like it has, I wouldn't have been
able to stand up under the heavy work
and the long hours" said Harry Short,
a well know farmer of Heyworth, Ill.
while in the Shorthose Drug Store in
Bloomington. Ill, recently.
II had been having trouble with my
stomach for close on to ten years,
continued Mr.. Short. "At times it just
looked like everything I ate SOured,
formed gas and bloated me up SO tight
that I was in misery and I suffered a
lot with cramps; in fact, sometimes
couldn't even take a drink of cold
water without having these cramps.
When I had these spells with my stom-
ach I was nearly always troubled with
attacks of dizziness and l finally got
so run down in health that I fell off
over twenty pounds in weight and was
so terribly thin and weak that just
wasn't able to do any hard work of
any sort. I was in just this shape
when I took the flu last winter and
that, along with the pneumonia that
came later, pretty near put an end to
me and certainly had a hard fight to
even pull thru, and when 1 finally did
get up was in worse fix than before.
I was so weak 1 couldn't even walk
to the barn without giving out COM
pletely and my stomach was in such
bad shape that soup was about all
could eat and 1 didn't have a bit of
appetite and just the smell of food
nauseated me.
II tried different medicines and
treatments but nothing seemed to do
me a particle of good until 1 began
taking Tanlac and it is this medicine
that owe the good health 1 have to-
day. had just about finished my
first bottle of Tanlac when I could
notice that my strength and energy
were coming back to me and it also
seemed to do my stomach a powerful
lot of good right from the start and
my appetite began to pick up. So /
kept right on taking it and now 1 can
eat Just anything 1 want and my appe-
tite is so good 1 can hardly wait for
meal time to come and when L do sit
down to the table I can certainly eat
plenty and nothing I eat gives me a
bit of trouble afterwards. 1 feel as
strong and sound as 1 ever did in my
whole life and can do more work and
put in longer hours at it than I ever
could. 1 have gained twenty-one
pounds in weight and actually feel like
Tanlac has made me over completely
because 1 really havn't felt SO good
since 1 was a boy and a medicine that
will do as much for me as Tanlac has
done certainly deserves praise and 1,
for one. am going to give it plenty"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co, 9th and Kansas
Ave, and 729 Kansas Ave.-Adv.

PRAIRIE DOG LOSS
Old Time Pest Is Bothering Western
Kansas Again.

Manhattan, Kan. July 1S.@The
Kansas prairie dog, long since thought
to have gone the way of the Indian
and the buffalo. is active again and
costing the farmers in the western
part of the state thousands of dollars
in destroyed crops annually. d The
prairie dog and the pocket gopher
together account for $5,000,000 in
damage to Kansas crops every year.
according to estimates of the zoology
department at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. A campaign against
the two rodents begun last January
by the United States biological survey
in cooperation with the agricultural
college, had saved the farmers $50
600 July l. when c. G. Deuber. field
assistant of the survey. made his re-
port for the fiscal year.
Mr.. Deuber has covered nineteen
counties in his campaign against the
rodent pests. The college supplies
the poison. charging a nominal price.
In the counties worked. the farm bu-
reaus have co-operated to such an
extent that the efficiency has been 90
per cent in the case of prairie dogs
and IS per cent in the case of pocket

DOUBT IN GAS CASE
Court Provides for Hearing of Rate
Complaints.

Court Provides for Hearing OF Rate
Complaints.
There may be serious doubt as to
the scope of Judge Booths recent or
der in the gas case. While he has ap-
proved the application of the Kansas
Natural for an order increasing rates
to city gates to 35 cents. the court also
provided for hearing complaints.
1t was declared in Topeka today
that attorneys for the Kansas Natural
present notice to Judge Booth which
they wished approved. The notice was
directed to distributing companies and
advised them of the new rate. The
notice is said to have been approved
by the court, conditioned that sugges-
tions for amendment would be re-
ceived in writing prior to July IS.
Should good reason appear, the court
might next week modify the decree.
Following is the notation which
Judge Booth placed on the notice sent
by the Kansas Natural to distributing
companies:
THE foregoing schedule having
been presented to the court for ap-
proval, the same is hereby approved.
However. at any time prior to July 25,
1919. the court will receive suggestions
in writing from interested parties. If
good reasons appear for modifying 6
this order. modification will be made.
1t is not feasible to have oral hear

FARMERS MAY APPEAL
May Take Grain Test Cases to Zone
Vice President.

If Kansas farmers are not pleased
with grain tests. they may appeal to
the zone vice president of the United
States grain corporation in Kansas
City. That was the answer which
came to Governor Allen from julius
Barnes. president of the Grain cor
poration. in answer to an appeal
against low tests of Kansas wheat
Governor Allen this week advised
the grain corporation as well as Sec
retary Houston of the federal bureau
of agriculture. that farmers of this
state were suffering heavy losses as a
result of existing regulations. Tests
are low. the governor asserted. and
this situation makes the bulk of
Kansas grain available only for ex-
port and beyond the realm of a COM
petitive market
Barnes stated that the grain cor
ooration expected to secure only the
lower grades of grain within a test
He said the nrices as fixed were mini
mur7 and that better grain grades
would be sold on competitive mar
ket at prices above the government
guarantee.

Seek Title Match With
Champion
TED LEWIS Us. LATSO
BY JAMES S. CAROLAN

A BRACE of regular 133 FOUNDERS
L \ will meet at Shbe Park this eve.
ming High class 133 POUND boys are
very scarce these battling days, and in
Lew Tender and Willie Jackson we will
see two lads capable of making the
lightweight limit without effort.
Tender is n small lightweight: in
fact, he even offered to make 12S pounds
ringsidr for Johnny Kilbane. Willie
Jackson also is ready TO meet the game
little Clevelander at 1913 pounds.
1t seems strange that these boys also
want to take smash at the rib crash p
ing. sleep producing Benny Leonard.
Benny is the only person standing be-
tween them and the lightweight crown.
Much Advertised
Tender has been much advertised
during the last season. He stands out
rs the real lightweight contender. Lew
has outfought and beaten all the boys
sent against him. For the past week he
has been waCng a verbal battle with
Champion Leonard over the weight
question. This seems to be the only
thing keeping the boys apart.
Now comes forth another individual
with title hoocs. Willie Jackson made
it known few days ago that he be-
Hcved himself capable Of making it in :
trrcsting for Leonard. This is the FIRST
time in his career that Jackson has
ever sought a match with the hashy
champion.
Tender is out to win by decisive
margin. He has fought Jackson twice.
one n six round affair in this city, ana
the other fifteen round go to deci-
sion in New Haven.
O'Brien to Referee
The veteran Frank (Pop) O'Bricn
will be the third man in the ring. The
| feeling has been bitter between Tender
and Jackson ever since that long bat
tie in New Haven. That was one of the
hardest fights ever waged in New Eng
| land. Incidentally it was the first time
Tender ever went over the long route.
| He proved then that he had the STAN
ina.
| According to the Leonard terms, the
title battle must be fifteen round af-
. IulT. i uDfS HOl ltul lht NisiuhN''
but it is the weight which is likely to
cause all the trouble. Tender said only
Il few days ago that he would just as
soon go fifty rounds if all the conditions
were even.
Jackson's challenge has not been as
persistent as the one from Tender. but
nevertheless it is sincere. Willie doubt
| less will be heard from later.
Latso vs.. Lewis
Another little battle that will be
waged before Tender and Jackson ap-
pear is that return meeting between
Steve Latso and Ted (KiD Lewis. The
former welterweight. champion was
treated very unkindly in the first round
of that last battle. The IIazlcton en- .
try sent Lewis to the floor twice before
the ex king found himself.
Lewis made big hit through his
game rally. Instead of becoming de-
fensive opponent he opened an attack
of his own that was so effective he man
aged to earn the decision. Lewis then
proved his gameness.
