CATHOLICS START
LAND COLONY PLAN

Believing that reducing the high
cost of living is essentially a mat
ter OF increasing production. the
Catholic Colonization society, U.
S. A, with headquarters at Chicago,
has entered on an extended land
colonization campaign. The society
proposes to widely extend its work
of intelligently locating on farms
those who ought to be on the land
and who can succeed there.
The organization has investi-
gated many land projects out OF
which some % are ready for
settlers. These projects are To-
Gated in IA different states, and
more colony tracts are to be pro-
vided in the neer future.
The services of the society,
which is the recognized national
directing bureau for prospective
settlers, are free to all. The work
of the society is especially useful
to people of foreign birth who do
not know how to get to the land in
a safe and practical manner. These
people, are, many of them, of the
Catholic faith, and have full conf
dence in an institution recon-
mended by their church.
The society seeks to use the very
best talent 'obtainable in the work
of investigation of its projects and
everything is done to safeguard the
interests of the colonists. The So
ciety neither owns, buys or sells
lands, but is merely a directing bu-
reau.
During the war the work of the
society was most highly COM
mended by the United States food
administration and by the depart
ment of the interior. The business
end of the work of colonization il
carried on by the Catholic Land
Information bureau, U. S. A. under
direction and supervision of the so
ciety, in the Ashland block. Chi

dry territories and when a juryman,
who lives in one of these towns, is
called, there is not a doubt that
counsel for the defense will chal-
lenge for cause.
Then there is no question what
the prosecuting attorney will do
should a bartender, or any other
person interested in the liquor bus
mess, by any chance be drawn TO
try a case.
There is an unconfrmed rumor
that the county will ask for the
services of some other person vers-
ed in ancient languages to inter
pref to the jury the variouE terms
that will be used during he trial.
1t may be the language used be
fore July l, A ID. 1919, will have
TO be Explained to the jurymen.
Such words as beer, dazzler cock
tail, liquor, distilled spirits, booze,
wine, DRINKS, Intoxicating, souse
and the like will have been forgot
ten and will be classed among the
dead languages.
1t is reasonably certain that a
prospective juryman will haze to
tell the story of his life, with de-
tails on the family skeletons. He
probably will have to relate his
own history from the cradle TO the
grave and also that OF his ante
cedents.

SUNDAY HAS WARM
SPOT FOR PAPERS

Billy Sunday confesses that he
has a warm spot in his heart for
the newspapers of the land, and
the newspapers have sort of pattod
themselves on the back and said it
was because they are so fair and
impartial, and give him so much
space so willingly and say all the
things about him and report his
sermons so diligently. But, listen.
the reason Billy Sunday likes the
newspapers is because his daughter
Helen is married to the editor Of a
western newspaper. Therefore the
warm spot in his heart. But still
we will go on talking Billy Sun

HAD GOTTEN THE
BEST OF COLBURN
Was so Run Down From TrO4ble
He Was Flat on His Back
Gains 80 Pounds.

''I have gained so pounds since I
commenced taking Tanlac, and the
troubles that have been causing
been completely overcome" said
William Colburn, who lives at 211S
East Lawrence avenue, Springfield.
Illinois, while talking to a Tanlac
representative the other day.
Yes, sir, I was flat on my back
in bed when l commenced taking
Tanlac," continued Mr.. CoIburn,
land was so weak that l couldn't
raise my head. l had suffered with
stomach trouble so long and so
much until it had the best of me
altogether, and l was simply living
on milks and liquid diets. I often
had bad attacks of acute indiges-
ton, and would suffer so much that
would become deliriouS. Once or
twice before l got so bad l couldn't
leave my bed, these spells came on
me while ! was away from the
house and l just had tot lie there
in an unconscious condition until
somebody happened along and
found me- was awful nervous, too,
and never got a good nights rest.
| tell you, l was in a bad fix, and
instead of getting any relief from
the different medicines and treat
ments I took, just got worse all
the time.
"My wife got to reading about
Tanlac, and as it was doing SO
many people so much good, she just
went to the drug store and bought
10 Of 7 -
for several days before we said
anything to anybody about leaving
OF the other medicine that had
been prescribed for me, but when |
commenced to mend so fast, we
just told about it, and 1 kept on
taking Tanlac. Every day 1 got
stronger, and it seemed that the
more Tanlac I took the more I
could eat and the better felt Then
l noticed that what l ate didn't
seem to hurt me at all, and in
short time l was able to get out of
bed and knock around in the yard
and soon 1 yentured down town,
and l felt fine when I got back
home, and when l had taken four
or five bottles I felt so good and
strong that | went back to work,
and / haven't lost a day since. l
just want to tell you right here that
you won't find a sounder man any
where in this country than / am
now. Why, / am so years old, and
I can actually do as much hard
work in a day now as 1 could when
was 80. Yes, sir, you can put me
down as a friend to Tanlac, and as
long as I live l will boost it every
chance l have"

In Moline city court this morn
ing Judge G.. o. Dietz continued the

SHIP WITH LARGE

DISABLED AT SEA

New York, Sept 1S.-The Span

have been disabled by the gulf
hurricane of last week and stranded

Since the storm passed through
the gulf wireless signals from the
Valbanera have been heard by the
Key West and Havana wireless sta
tions but the listeners could not de-

the ship on the way to New York
from Havana, but without success.
