Mrs. Langley Suffered Ago.

81 have gained several pounds in
weight by taking Tanlac and am
now feeling stronger and better
than l have in years." said Mrs.
George Langley, in relating her ex-
perience with the medicine recent
ly. Mrs. Langley is cashier at the
Electric Park in Kansas City, Mo-,
and resides at 4616 Tracy avenue.
For two years." she continued,
"my stomach had been all out of or
der and I simply suffered agony at
times with nervous indigestion. My
appetite was very poor and after
eating I would suffer so from pal
pitation and shortness of breath on
account of the gas on my stomach
that l could hardly breathe. Some
times / would almost smother and
would become alarmed, fearing l
had heart trouble. l also had raging
headaches and would get so dizzy
that l would almost fall when l
tried to walk. l had gotten so rum
down and weak that l was unable
to do my house-work at times and
it looked like I would not be able
to continue my work as cashier at
the Park.
Il have tried numbers of differ
ent kinds of medicines, but nothing
helped me until l got Tanlac and
now | am feeling like an entirely
different person. By the time l had
finished my first bottle of this medi-
cine the gas had stopped forming
on my stomach and my appetite
was fine. So l continued taking
Tanlac and improving until now l
am eating just anything want and
am never troubled any more with
pains, shortness of breath or an un-
comfortable feeling after my meals
| can now sleep the night through,
but before taking Tanlac l was very
restless and would often lie awake
for hours. I have also been relieved
Of the headaches, dizziness and have
been built up and strengthened un-
til l can do all my housework and
look after my duties as cashier at
the Park with ease. l am now rec
ommending Tanlac to my friends
and if l could speak with everybody
personally who is in need of medi-
cine l would advise them to try it,
for it certainly is wonderful"

iowa GOV ERN OR
DOUBTS GUILT OF
ERNEST RATHbUN
Harding, in Statement, Says
That Youth Is Serving
Term for Perjury and
Not for Rape.

Dcs Moines, Ia, Aug. 18.-(Spe-
cial)-Governor Harding in a state
ment issued today, expresses the
belief that his pardon OF Ernest
Rathbun, the Ida Grove youth con-
victed of criminal assault, is in force,
and he doubts Rathbun's guilt.
He believes that the district court
in Ida county had no power to re-
woke and cancel it.
He holds that he only, as govern
or, has power to cancel the pardon
and then only in case he has been
deceived.
He says no deception was prac-
ticed on him by Rathbun's lawyer,
George H. Clark; he didn't pay any
attention to Clark's statement or
application for the pardon.
He says Clark did only what any
lawyer usually does in such cases.
He is investigating the case anew
on his own motion but refuses to
disclose what steps he has taken
or intends to take in the matter. .
He says Rathbun is in the peni-
tentiary for perjury and not for
criminal assault, for his pardon for
criminal assault is still in force and
effect.
These things the governor dis
closed in his testimony before the
bar committee which is prosecuting
Lawyer Clark on charges looking to
his disbarment and which comes to
trial at Ida Grove next Tuesday.
While the people of Iowa and Ne
braska and other states who have
shown interest in the Ernest Rath-
bun rape case believe that the Ida
Grove youth is serving a sentence
for rape, Governor William L.
Harding yesterday emphatically
stated that Rathbun in his opinion
is in Anamosa on l0-year perjury
sentence and not under sentence for
rape.

Sheriff Clark is directing a search

Florence farmer, Sunday.
The sheriff has offered 500 re-
ward for information leading to his
capture and conviction, and SIS re-
wards for the capture of men who
have been devastating farms north
of Florence.
Il have received many complaints
from farmers in that vicinity" said
the sheriff" stating that orchards
and gardens were being robbed The
farmers are talking seriously of or
ganizing a vigilance committee and
this shooting will probably bring
the matter to head. 1t will be
dangerous for anyone ste aling from
their gardens in the future"
II saw five men enter my orchard,
so took a gun and went out to
meetsthem," said Hipp. When I
got near enough | fred in the air,
but they didn't run. Instead one
of them, who had rifle fired at me
and hit me. They then ran to an
automobile standing on the road
and drove away"
Hipp will recover.
