HAD THROWN
AWAY $1,000
Sought Vafnly for Relief From
Troubles % Pounds
Taking TanIac.

The best proof / can give that
Tanlac was the right thing for me
is the way it has relieved my suffer
ing and built me up" said James M.
Johnson, a well known employee of
the Lud Hotel, who lives at 305 Per-
simon street, Peoria, ILL.,, recently.
81 had fallen off as a result of
my troubles" he continued, until
was almost a skeleton. At the time
/ started on Tanlac / only weighed
one hundred and fifteen pounds, but
l now balance the scales at one
hundred and forty-two, making an
actual gain of twenty-seven pounds,
and have been relieved entirely of
stomach and liver trouble and kid
ney disorders that had followed me
for sixteen years / have often seen
the time when my back hurt so bad
could hardly stand it 1t was all
could do to lean over and lace my
shoes, and nobody will ever know
how 1 suffered with my stomach be-
cause I just can't fully describe it.
I couldn't eat thing without bloat-
ing up and the gas would cause
such terrible cramping pans
through my stomach that I just
thought I could not stand it any
longer. At this time I was firing on
the C. & o. railroad and 1 got so
weak and played out that ! could
hardly lift a shovel of coal. During
those sixteen years 1 spent over
twelve hundred dollars for med
icines and l might as well have
thrown it in the creek, for l never
even so much as got one days re-
lief.
Il had just about came to the
conclusion that there was no med
icine that could help me, but have
certainly found out different sincS
l got hold of Tanlac. One-day 1 net
up with an old friend; one 1 hadn't
seen in ten years. Well, of course
we had long talk. but we hadn't
talked long before I got to telling
him how had suffered so long, just
couldn't keep my mind of of my
condition. Then he told me how
Tanlac had made a-well man of his
brother, who had suffered from
troubles like mine for years. So
that very afternoon got me bot
tie of Tanlac and 1 couldn't help
but notice a big difference in my
condition before I had finished TAX
ing that bottle. When I saw it was
helping me 1 stuck right to it, and
have improved until anyone who
knows me could tell you l look like
a different man couldn't ask for a
better appetite never had a
better, bigger one and my
stomach never bothers me any
more no matter what I eat
I am not one bit afraid now to eat
all kinds of meat and vegetables or
else I want. My kidneys
never bother me any more, either,
and the pains have disappeared
from myzback entirely. I am feeling
as strong and well ash ever did in
my life, so you see Ihave something
to boost Taniacfor"

BIG SHOE BILLS
NOT NECESSARY

at looks as if would not be able
to wear out my shoes with Neolin
Soles. They have been in service
about year, and are still good, writes
w. c. Dickinson of New Haven, Conn.
1t is natural that shoes with Neolin
Soles should wear a long time, for
Neolin Soles give extra wear where
most shoes wear out quickest.
These long lasting soles are made by
Science to be especially tough and dur
able-comfortable and waterproof, too.
If you want to save money on shoes
buy them with Neolin Soles. Good
shoe stores carry them in many styles
for men, women. and children. And
you can have your old shoes robot
toned with Neolin Soles at any repair
shop.
Neolin Soles are made by The Good
year Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio,
who also make Wingfoot Heels-guar.
anteed to outwear all other heels.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Aug. 14.-The cot ton market fell off for net declines of four dollars bale today. Labor unrest, the demand for nationaliza- ton of railroads and the fight on hlgh prices caused much of the sell Ing. Adding to their effect were weakness in the market for cotton goods and further breaks in foreign exchange.
 The initial decline was recovered and the market sent up for slight net advance on the most active months on the report by the census bureau showing a record breaking number of spindles at work in this country during July, the total being 34, lS4, ,407, while July consumption of cotton by American mills was plac- ed at 5O9,793 bales against 474 ,O0O in June. This steadiness however, did not last long and net decline quick ly followed.
 Late in the session, there was a drive against the market by the bear element. Final prices were "A to 80 points lower pricpc.

Allies Alarmed by
 British Withdrawal

Paris, Aug, 14,-Thc peace con ference is awaiting anxiously the decision of Great Britain as to the withdrawal of British troops from Caucausus, which it is expected will begin to move homeward tomorrow.
 Col William Haskell, U. s. A, allied high commissioner in Armenia, has telegraphed the supreme council that Armenia undoubtedly will starve and the people will be exterminated if the British soldiers are not de tained there until others are sent. None of the large powers is willing to send soldiers there and consequent ly, no action has been taken.
 The relief supplies gathered at Tiflis, Batoum and Erivan probably will be lost if the British withdraw and the investigation to be made by Maj Gen. James G. Harbord on behalf of the American government will be of little use.

Chicago, Aug. Government seizure of food stocks within walking distance from the Chicago board of trade, completely unnerved holders of grain and provisions today and did much to force big smash in prices. The close in the corn market was semi mi-demoralized, ' 1-S to 8 3-4e net lower with September l.83 to ,83 34 and December l.44 7-S to l.45 l-8. Oats finished 2 3-4 to 3 3-8c down and provisions off 90c to $3.35.
 General selling and lack of demand with which the day started in the corn crowd grew more and more pro nounced until the last hour when the furry to unload and to sell became wild enough to try the poise of the hardest veterans of the pit.
 September delivery, heretofore the backbone of the corn market, col lapsed today, the worst of any option on the list.
 Oats toppled over with corn. The heaviest selling was from houses that recently have been the most act i've buyers.

COTTON MARKET
 BREAKS NEARLY
 HUNDRED POINTS

New York, Aug. 14.-Thcre was q severe break in the cotton market here today under a renewal of gen cfal selling which appeared to be in Splred by unsettled general conditions and reports of an easier situation in the goods trade. Prices sold into the lowest ground touched since the cul- mlnation of the bull movement. The close was at nearly the lowest prices of the day, with the tone barely steady at a net decline of 75 to 95 points.
 The market opened steady at a de cline under selling by houses with Liverpool and Japanese connections. There was considerable domestic trade buying around the Bic level for October, while the census report shower larger mill consumption for July than expected and prices rallied right after the call. This bulge met increased offerings, however, and the market quickly weakened. Prices.
