REPORT SHOWS
SCOPE OF RED CROSS WORK

During the twenty months ending
February 28, 1919, the American peo-
pie contributed $393, $4,000 for Red
Cross relief of suffering here and
abroad and for the services rendered
to our fighting men, according to
report of the combined financial oper-
ations of the American Red Cross
from June, 1917, until the retirement.
of the War Council in February last,
which has just been received at North
ern Division headquarters.
The total expenditures for that per-
iod amount to $272, 900, of which
only $4,360,000 was used for the opera
ton of the administrative bureaus of
the National Organization. Due to
the fact that many of the response
BILE positions have been filled by volun-'
teer workers, and that salaried work
ers have received smaller remunera-
ton than they would receive in private
life, the cost of operation of the en-
tire organization has been reduced to
a minimum.
At the retirement of the War Coun-
ell there was $127, 100000 in the Red
Cross treasury. At the present time
that balance has been substantially
reduced by the wide activities of the
Red Cross, incident to the demobiliZa-
ton of the army, the relief necessary
in Europe, and the uncertain value of
stores of relief supplies.

A SOCIALISTS PANACEA.

A remedy for all existing financial
ills is proposed by Frank M. Barton,
railroad engineer at Mahnomen, MINI, J
a Socialist and last year Nonpa'
tisan League candidate for Congress
Mr.. Bartn's plan is very simple. He
would repudiate all government bonds
and dissolve" all large fortunes.
"Then," he says, "the great upheaving
and disaster that awaits the world
in the near future might be avoided"
That might be" is thoughtful re-
servation. Simple as Mr.. Barton's plan
may seem to a half-baked extremist,
it involves such trifling consequences
as wreck of the national credit, col
lapse of the Country's industries and
public utilities, wiping out OF foreign
trade, and abandonment of the Unit
ed States to the primitive conditions
of want and starvation now seen IN
Bolshevist Russia.
'The war has been paid for" pleads
Mr.. Barton, "and big interests have
the majority of the bonds, and if not
repudiated the common people Will
have to pay them through taxation"
Mr.. Barton probably is not a hea-
wy holder of Liberty bonds himself,
but his proposal to penalize patriotism
and thrift is not likely to strike any
responsive chord among the millions of
small subscribers who saved to help
finance and win the war.-Minneapo-

Gains q Pounds
CEDAR RAPIDS WOMAN FEELS
LIKE A NEW PERSON SINCE
TAKING TANLAC.

Besides getting relief from my aw-t
full suffering | have actually gained
twenty three pounds in weight and you5
may know by that what I think of
Tanlac," said Mrs Sadie Baughman,
residing at 1852 F street, East Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, in an interview, recent
| ly Mrs. Baughman is the wife of
| Harry c. Baughman, a valued en-
ployee Of the Quaker Oats Company.
Her statement while, indeed, remark
abe, is by no means unusual as many
thousands throughout the United
States and Canada have testified to
having used the Master Medicine with
the same wonderful results
at has been something less than
three months now," continued Mrs.
Baughman, "since | began taking Tan
lac and if anyone could feel like new
person do. / had been suffering
from stomach trouble, rheumatism
and extreme nervousness for five
years. My liver was also in very
bad condition as my skin was as yell
low as pumpkin. My food would
sour on my stomach causing gas, pains
and spells of palpitation of the heart
when it just seemed like my breath
would stop 1t seemed that | was
right on the verge of nervous prostra
ton and my lower limbs ached S,
with rheumatism that | could hardly,
stand it. / could neither rest myself
or let anyone else in the house rest,
was so nervous and miserable. These
troubles had reduced my weight until
was almost living skeleton and was
so run down and felt so badly could
not attend to my household affairs.
81 had used everything in the way
of medicines and had been told num-
Der of times that an operation was
my only hope of recovery, but | have
gotten rid of it all by taking few
bottles of Tanlac. My husband mad
been trying to get me to try Tan
lac for sometime, but | refused to do
so because | thought it was like 9TH
er things l had taken and would do
me no good. But | kept on suffering
and getting worse until one day he
brought home a bottle and insisted so
that | began taking it. Well, it wasn't
long until ] found Tanlac was alto
gether different from any ether medi-
cine / had used, for soon after start
ing on my second bottle there was a
wonderful change in my feelings. |
am now eating just anything | want
and am never troubled the least bit
with gas on my stomach, palpitation
of the heart or any uncomfortable feel
ing afterwards My complexion has
cleared up until it is like new. The
rheumatic pain has disappeared from
my limbs and my nerves have quieted
down until | can sleep just like baby.
| am really and truly feeling like
new person and owe it all to Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Redwood Falls by
Public Drug Co., in Belview by A. F.
Abraham, in Milroy by Frank Taplin,
in Revere by Henry N Tackle, and in
Walnut Grove by Hesnault's Phar-
macy.
