When America entered the war our
knowledge Of tanks was practically
MIL But the American command In
France saw great possibilities in
tanks and set out to learn about
them. What they learned and did
resulted in a tank building program
of over four thousand light tanks
to be constructed in the United
States and q Joint program with
England for building heavy tanks.
Additional numbers and types Of
tanks developed later. An Anglo
American tank commission was
formed with Sir Albert Stern as Brit
ish commissioner and Lieut.. Col.
James A. Drain as American COM
missioner.
The pressing question was "how
to produce the most tanks in the

and public spiritedness of men like

The principle underlying all tank
development was covered in the fol-

Richard Edgeworth:

of this part Of the railway. their motion shall

For two years spent all my time

Indigestion" continued Mrs. Wilson,
"and don't guess anybody ever had to
go through with what I did. I was
very weak and nervous, and at times
had those dreadful smothering sensa-
lions to the point of fainting. had
dreadful headaches, severe pains in
my back and over my kidneys and my
joints ached all the time. For two
years I had to live entirely on boiled
milk, toast and soft boiled eggs, and
even that didn't digest we'll, and would
sour on my stomach. didn't know
what it was to get good nights sleep.
I took one kind Of medicine after an
other until our house was almost FILL
ed with empty bottles, but instead of
improving I was getting worse all the
time Finally they took me to the
hospital for treatment, and lay there
for five long months, but even that
didn't make me we'll. It was taking
nearly every cent of my husbands
wages to pay my doctor and drug
bills.-our drug bill alone amounted
to $14 or SIS month, and one doctor
bill amounted to $108.
1T looked like everything had fail
ed to help me, and had about given
up all hope when one day my husband
brought a bottle of Tanlac home with
him and asked me to take it. He
said he had been reading and hearing
a lot of good things about it, and
didn't see any reason why it shouldn't
help me. was confined to my rolling
chair when I began taking it.

I certainly don't feel like one, and
have actually gained twenty-five (25)

things as meat, turnips, hard boiled
