the plan and leaves for Radville.
There he meets the bankers
daughter, the girl he is supposed to
marry, in the drug store where he
has obtained employment. He gains
the friendship of the druggist and
his daughter by putting the store on
a paying basis. Affairs approach a
climax when the rich girl proposes

grets it when he realizes his love
for the druggists daughter. Fate in
tervenes when things lock darkest

amusingly.

msnt to Public About Tanlae-
Feels He Has . New Lease on Life

]. d. Wilson. secretary and general
manager Of the Algona Brick 4 Tile
Company OF Algona, Iowa, called II
McNerney's Drug store in Dies
Moines, recently, and made a state
ment regarding the benefits he has
derived from the use Of Tanlac that
will be OF interest throughout the
entire state.
In relating his experience with the
Master Medicine Mr.. Wilson says he
has not only gotten rid of case Of
nervous Indigestion from which he
had suffered for three years, but that
he has also gained twenty -four
pounds in weight. Here is his state
ment: 7 have been benefited even
beyond my belief and feel that it Is
time for me to talk for the benefit Of
others I had suffered from nervous
indigestion and a general run down
condition for three years. My stom-
ach was so weak and upset that I
could not retain and digest enough
OF what ate to keep up my strength
and was gradually losing ground all
the time. My food would sour al
most as soon as I had eaten it and
the gas from it would press on my
heart causing palpitation, shortness
Of breath and intense pains. Ny kid
neys were also in bad shape and I
often suffered with severe pains in
the small of my back.
mo kind Of treatment or medicine
did me any good and as a result of
condition -
ing weight. / was worried constant
ly with the fear that my case was
beyond the reach Of medicines. But
/ finally began taking Tanlac on the
advice Of an old friend and not only
have my troubles been relieved, but
l feel like / have been given a new
lease on life. At the time began
taking this medicine I only weighed
one hundred and eighteen pounds,
but I now balance the scales at one
hundred and forty-two, making an
actual gain of twenty-four pounds.
. 1 can now eat just anything set be-
fore me and never feel a sign Of in
digestion. Why, only yesterday I ate
steak and onions for dinner, thor
oughly enjoyed them. and they did
not hurt me the least bit am now
able to eat cabbage and pork and di-
gest them as easily as can milk. In
fact. neither my stomach or kidneys
bother me any more. 1 am absolute
ly free from all pain and am in bet
] ter shape physically than 1 have
been in long time. A medicine that
will do what Tanlac has done in my
case is certainly worth recommend
ing to the public and I am glad to
give this statement to be used in
letting others, who are trying to find
relief. know about it."

Edit ria Comment
The Information is Timely.
(Evening Post)

There is and there is not a soft
coal strike. Officially, it is called
OFF. Actually, it is in partial effect.
The estimates are that only about
so per cent of the normal output is
now being mined. Many Western
cities are feeling the pinch. Fac
tories are shutting down, or are
running only part time. Every
days delay in coming to a settle
ment between operators and miners
means danger Of a widening coal
dearth. This needs no arguing. Yet
at this juncture an extraordinary
state Of mind il disclosed by GER
tain people. They seem to care less
about coal than about their per-
sonal credit. More than about fuel
they are concerned about their in
dividual NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to be
known as the men who settled the
strike, or established the principles
on which it was settled. While the
country wants coal dug out of the
mines. some people are absorbed in
digging up political capital.
Chief among the latter must be
placed Mr.. McAdoo. He is now a
private citizen-except as publicity
is thrust upon him by TALKING about
him as Presidential candidate. He
has at present no more to do with
Treasury records than one Of the
moving picture producers for whom
he is counsel. Yet in a way that
cannot too severely be reprehended
he blurts out alleged facts about
the profits of coal owners which
came to his knowledge when Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. This may
not be a violation OF the letter Of
the law relating to income-tax re-
turns, but 1t is a clear and cool
disregard of its spirit. If stock
holder in a coal company had been
allowed 10 inspect its return, and
then had gone and blabbed about
it, as Mr.. McAdoo has done, he
would have been liable under the.
law to fine up to $1,000. or to
Imprisonment not exceeding one
year. Moreover. when the ex-Sec-
rotary asserts that In the year 1917
some Of the operators made shock
ing and indefensfble profits" he
has to admit that he makes no al
lowance for deduction of excess
profits taxes" And he further
comedies that he is not certain
whether the late Of profit was fg-
ured on the nominal capital stock
or upon money actually invested.
But all this does not deter him from
rushing into print with the demand
that the miners get higher wages
and that the operators foot the en-
tire bill. A more indecent butting
in it would be hard to recall.

The New lusitania

tPhlladelphla PreSS)
No reason is given by the United
States Shipping Board for its de-
cision to turn the former German
liner Imperator-one Of the largest
passenger ships af1oat-over to Eng
land. The ship was seized by the
American Government in New York
harbor Throughout the war and
after the armistice was signed it
was used as a troop transport for
American soldiers. And so it is to be
supposed that there are weighty
reasons why England should get it
now as. part compensation for ship
ping losses by German submarines.
These reasons should be made public.
On sentimental grounds England
is best entitled to the Imperator. The
sinking of the Lusitania was not only
the most dastardly crime in the en-
tire black history of submarine war
fare; it also removed one of the
greatest of the Transatlantic passen-
ger ships from the merchant fleets
OF England. The Imperator Will,
