also in the organization of the army

pected and as yet the police have
been unable to discover clues left
by the thieves.
Mr.. Mclaughlin is at a loss to
know the motive of the robbery at
this time. AS the amount of loot
shows, there was comparatively
little money in the station at the
time and very little else of any
value. If the thieves had entered
at a time when the safe was full of
money for the pay of the men in
that district or for some other rea-
son, the robbery would have been
easier to understand, the station
agent said. The getaway, however,
was very well planned and no traces
were left

Bulky Food Is
Necessary For
Health
BY DR.. Lorne A. Summers Armour
& Co,

It is quite common to find as
much or more sickness among the
well-to-do classes of people than
there is among the laboring classes.
This, believe, is due to the fact
that the wealthy classes are more
Einclined to live on highly concen-
trated foods which leave no residue,
such as chicken, polished rice,
mashed potatoes, fine white bread
and pastries.
A diet composed mainly of these
foods will eventually result in de-
rangement of the liver and chronic
constipation, which have been found
to be the real source and cause of
nearly every disease. A person in
this condition eventually becomes
poisoned by his own waste material.
Sooner or later the vitality is low
cred and disease finds an easy foot
hold
The diet of laboring man usually
consists of simple, plain and, gener-
ally coarse foods, having large per-
cent of cellulose material forming
plenty of bulk so necessary to per-
feet health.
Green vegetables, legumes, fruit
and some cereals are, owing to their
cellulose formation, found to be
laxative. Such foods as spinach,
carrots, green peas, green beans,
sauerkraut cabbage, either canned
or fresh, whole wheat, fruit, either
fresh, canned or dried, prunes, cher
ries, grapes, figs, oranges, etc, may
easily be worked into the menus
of the different meals; for instance:
Breakfast: Cherries, pineapple.
orange or fig marmalade, oatmeal
and bran bread and gems.
Noontime: Green peas, spinach,
green beans, sauerkraut, cooked fruit
such as aprcots, and whole wheat
bread may be used.

REAL ESTATE man
ENTHUSED over
HIS IMPROVEMENT
NJ. Boyd Gains Fifteen
Pounds After Taking
Tan|ac.

81 have gained fifteen pounds
since I began taking Tanlac, and
never felt better in my life than !
do now" said J. M. Boyd, well
known real estate man, whose Of
flee is at 1927 Michigan Ave,
Kansas City, Mo.
"For the past twelve months"
continued Mr.. Boyd, ~ have suf-
fered a great deal on account of
the awful condition of my stomach.
/ was under treatment for good
while, and took many different
kinds of medicines, but I just grad
ually grew worse until / commenced
taking Tanlac. What / ate would
sour, and this would cause gas to
form on my stomach, and l would
be perfectly miserable for hours at
time. / also suffered from con-
stipation, and had to take laxa-
tive of some kind every day. I lost
weight and could just feel myself
getting weaker all the time.
"Well, sir, before had finished
my first bottle of Tanlac could
see that it was doing me world
of good. I continued to take it
until my troubles were completely
overcome. l have no sign of stom-
ach trouble now, and everything I
eat agrees with me perfectly, and
that is saying a good deal, for l
have a fine appetite and eat three
hearty meals every day. I have got
ten rid of the constipation also, and
have gained a lot in weight, and
feel full of strength and energy.
Many of my friends have noticed
my improvement, and have spoken
about it, and I always take great
pleasure in telling them that Tanlac
is responsible for it"
