Before Taking Tanlac He Had

Calkins, a retired farmer, living at
155 n. Lincoln Ave, Springfield, Ill,
to Tanlac representative, recently.
Il had been in bad fix for going
on twenty-six years." continued Mr..
Calkins, "of course, not so bad all the
time as l have been for the past ten
years, but enough to make me suffer
a lot. My arms panied me like old
fashioned toothache, and my legs
were all drawn up so l just had to
hobble around on two crutches. My
legs panied me terribly all the time,
but seemed to be worse at night and
I could hardly get any sleep for the
agony / suffered Then, about twelve
years ago, stomach trouble set in and
nearly everything l ate disagreed with
and finally got so l lived mostly on
light diets, but that didn't seem to
help any, and l got awfully weak and
rundown. This rheumatism and
stomach trouble caused me to give up
farming, because / wasn't able to do
any work myself and couldn't depend
much on hired help. I had tried all
kinds of medicines and treatments
without being helped any and got so
l never expected to be we'll again.
Then read about Tanlac and saw

cided to give Tanlac trial, and III
never forget how that medicine start
ed right in to help met was simply
wonderful, and / could hardly believe
it myself. ] hadn't finished the first
bottle until I was feeling lots better,
so l kept on taking the medicine and
now my rheumatism is not only COM
pletely gone, but all my stomach
trouble as we'll, and l can sit down to
the table now ana eat as big meal
as / ever did on the farm. l don't
! hobble around any more because
have put my clutches away in the
attic and never expect to see them
again, and I can get about now as

actually believe l could stand and
jump on our porch steps - the same
steps that couldn't even get up alone
| on crutches little while back. and
am just SO thankful to be free from

WORKERS CONSIDERING A
 BIG WALK-0UT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 18.-R)- It now seems probable that there will be a general coast strike of all the union electrical workers. The rep resentatives of the electrical unions along the Pacific coast are meeting daily for the purpose of considering the issuance of such an order. This general strike would be called to sup port the recent walk out of the cleo trical workers in this state and Ne vada In these two states practically every electrical employee has gone out on strike, demanding substan- tial increase in wages and other con sessions.
 The larger Nevada towns are bad ly crippled as 8 result of the strike, it being almost impossible to operate some of the most essential industries depending upon electricity. The en- tire state service is also disrupted on account of the strike of the telephone employees. Present indications point toward no immediate settlement of the strike.

YELLOW PAINT IS DAUBED ON

OVER HUNDRED RETURNED SOL DIERS PAINT OFFICES OF I. w. w. IN ITS TRUE COLORS; ANGRY MEN TEAR ALL SIGNS DOWN FROM BUILDING.

STOCKTON, Calif., June 18.-(R)- Enraged at the utterances of the h. dustrial Workers of the World and the policy pursued by that organiza- tion during and since the war, over one hundred discharged soldiers to- day made raid on the radical head quarters here.
 The entire front of the building was daubed with bright yellow paint, which the former soldiers declare is the true color of all members of the I. w. w. The interior of the build ing was practically wrecked, all pa pers and pamphlets being taken away and destroyed.
 Not sign which bore any rela- tion to the organization was left hanging about the headquarters. There was no opposition offered the angry men by the I. w. w. officials, they leaving as soon as the raid was begun.

NO I'M. Le MARE"
 IN PITTSBURGH

PITTSBURG, June 6.-That a letter addressed to the mayor of Pittsburg was returned to the sender marked unknown" was brot to light recently when Mayor E. V. Babcock received a communication from the mayor of Nancy, France, after it had been de- layed eight months.
 The letter, under date of October 8, 1918, was received in Pittsburg a few weeks later, but the postal clerk who handled the communication, stamped on the envelope the intelli- gence that Monsieur Le Maire, de Ia Vile de Pittsburg, Etats I'nis de Amerique" could not be located in the directory. The letter vas advertised, and finally returned to the Nancy ex- ecutive, who appealed to the American embassy in Paris. He explained that he was exceedingly anxious that the people of Pittsburg read the words of appreciation of the folk of Nancy for two flags presented to them in con- nection with the Bastille Day celebra- tion here July IA last.
 Paris embassy officials enclosed tie letter in another envelope, re add, ess. ed it, and Mayor Babcock received the communication only few days ago.

FAIRBANKS GIRL IN FRANCE
 WRITES OF VISIT TO RHEIMS
 AND TOUR OF NO MANS LAND

Writing to the homefolks, Miss Genevieve Creamer, the well-knowr Fairbanks girl now with the Red Cross in France, gives some interest ing descriptions of the ruined city oi Rheims and tells of trip which she made thru section of the trenches in that vicinity. Fairbanksans have read much descriptive matter about the horrors of the last war. but Miss with the actuality of it all in her let ter.
 As, usual with Americans, she is having trouble with French as the French speak it. but says she can understand what they say eff they don't talk too fast"
 A part of Miss Craemer's letter fol lows:
 Monday went on a trip to Rheims, which made me realize more than ever how terrible the war was and what the people here must have suffered. We took the train at 2 o'clock in the morning (10 girls and a guide in the party) and rode thru the prettiest country. There is a large area of ground where the trenches have been filled and the land is already under cultivation The train travels along the Marne most of the way.
 MARINE SMALL RIVER.
 "This is a beautiful little river so much smaller than I had pictured tho. When read in the papers about the Germans crossing the Marne thot it was real, large river but when I saw it had to smile, for it wasn't as wide as Bentley's slough and has no high banks. It looked more like a good-sized irrigation ditch to me.
 "We stopped for time at Chateau Thierry and then went on to Rheims, arriving there about II a. m. We had lunch and took a bus and drove out to the battlefield.
 RESEMBLES A DESERT.
 "It is almost impossible for per. son to realize that this was once a farming country, for it looks more like desert except for the patches of dandelions which are creeping up thru the sand, as it is all covered with sand unearthed when the trenches were dug.
 "There is mile after mile of trench es which we walked thru and over until was almost dead. We also went up to the Hindenburg line and thru the German trenches and dug outs. I. can't see what their idea was in having these dugouts so deep 80 much deeper than the French

 BRAZIL LEAVES
 FRENCH VESSEL
BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT TAKEN OFF DISABLED FRENCH CRUIS- FER BY AMERICAN TRANSPORT WAS ENROUTE TO UNITED STATES FOR VISIT.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18.-- P)-Owing to the French cruiser Jeanne D'Arc becoming disabled at sea, President Pessao has been taken off that ship by the transport Impe- rator.
 The Jeanne D'Arc is not so seriously damaged as to make it impossible for her to reach port, but she will be fore ed to proceed at very slow speed and may probably require the assist ance of other vessels. President Pes sac boarded the French cruiser in a Brazilian port and was coming to the United States on business connected with his government.
 The ImperatOr, a former trans-At' lantic liner but now an American army transport, happened along short ly after the trouble developed aboard the Jeanne D'Arc and immediately offered to take the president as a passenger in order that he may not be delayed in reaching an American port.
