fore Taking Tanlac.

at have not only gained twenty-five
pounds in weight since L commenced
taking Tanlac, but 1 have been re-
lieved of all my troubles and feel bet
ter in every way than 1 have for many
years" said Mrs. Nellie E. Kennedy,
who lives at 1105 East Arcadia ave-
nue., Peoria, the other day.
MY health broke down completely
about seven years ago." continued
Mrs. Kennedy, land 1 have certainly
undergone a lot of suffering since that
time. In fact, 1 haven't really had a
well day since. and have not been
strong enough at any time to attend
to my housework, and a great part of
the time 1 was hardly able to walk
across the ROOM My stomach was in
such awful condition that 1 was actu-
ally afraid to eat very much, and what
little / did eat would cause me worlds
of suffering afterwards. Gas would
form on my stomach after meals, and
would be perfectly miserable for
hours Nearly every day 1 would have
raging headache and l will always
believe that those headaches are re-
spOnSible for my hair being so white
now. My nerves were in very bad con-
dition, too, and 1 never knew what it
was to get a good nights sleep, and
would often lie in bed, wide awake.
all night long. Even the street cars
passing the house would upset me,
and during the day 1 would sit in the
back part OF the house where l
couldn't hear them pass. l had failed
so utterly to find anything that would
help me 1 had given up all hope of
ever being a well woman again.
"One day a friend of mine told me
about Tanlac. and advised me to give
it trial and L will always bless the
day that 1 made up my mind to follow
her advice. Why, I am so we'll and
happy now that I just want to tell
everybody ! see about Tanlac. Be
fore l had finished my first bottle of
Tanlac L could just feel my strength
coming back to me, and 1 could also
see that my suffering was growing less
all the time. l have a splendid appe-
tite now and it is certainly fine to be
able to sit down at meal time and eat
just anything that a real good appe-
tite calls for, and what l eat agrees
with me perfectly. All that nervous
ness has left me and when l go to
bed, sleep like a baby all night long.
l am free from those awful headaches
too, and that alone makes me say that
Tanlac is the best medicine in the
world. 1t is simply wonderful the way
I have gained in weight, and / am so
well and strong now that 1 can do all
my homework without the least trou-
bic, and in fact, 1 am a perfectly well
woman again"

FOR TRADE UNITY
Sec'y Redfield Says Business
VIII Be More Cooperative.
Antitrust Laws Must Change
To Meet Evolution, He Says.

st. Louis, Mo, April 30.-American
business in the future will be more CO.
operative than competitive and this
cooperation will solve many of the
difficulties that the present inadequate
antitrust laws fail to solve, William
C. Redfield, secretary of commerce,
declared in an address before the
chamber of commerce of the United
States here today.
He characterized extreme competi-
ton as destructive and uncontrolled
combination as dangerous. but added
that the ethical evolution" now in
progress will bring forth the proper
solution for business which he said
had outgrown the law intended to con-
troll it.
Nothing is more certain than that
there has been a great change for the
better in the ethics and method of
trade since the antitrust laws came
into being" he said. These laws
were the expression of the moral judg-
ment of the country against certain
business procedures deemed injurious
to the body polite and considered to
lack sound social sanctions.
1.-The thought of the business world
was arrested and was made to fix it
self on the social obligations that I'M
derlie all business. This conception of
| business in it's social relations and as
| one of the factors directly affecting
| human lives has greatly advanced and
its growth has established new bust
ness customs and higher business
/ standards so that we would no longer

E, business are in a state of constant
! evolution.

have always felt as a man of business,
that there are two assumptions COM
mon to our public discussion of COM
merciaI matters which are essentially
wrong. One is that competition is of
itself so desirable that it should be re-
stored if need be by force of law. The
second is that the attitude of suspicion
toward business is an evidence of wis
dom.
Few will deny that there are ele-
ments of good in a strictly COMPETE
tive state of business. But if compe-
tition is the life of trade every one
knows that in extreme form it may
also be the death of trade. If we at

USE PERMIT SYSTEM
Railroads Have New Plan for Ham
ding Kansas Wheat Crop,

In view of lessening rail congestion
and car shortage, the Kansas wheat
crop will this year be handled on
permit system" according to plan
devised by Hale Holden, federal re
gional director.
The system will be in charge of
committee, including a railroad man.
an elevator man and a grain man,
with headquarters at Kansas City.
The state will be divided into districts,
according to the plan, and each ship
per must consign his wheat from
specified point at the direction of the
permit" committee. The idea of the
scheme is to control the shipments in
their source and not permit too much
wheat to get on the lines at once.
The system, it is asserted. will be
worked out without discrimination

HANG FLAGS WRONG
Soldiers and Sailors Notice Ignorance
of Patriotism in City.

Peter E. O'Connor, chief boatswain's
mate, in charge of the navy recruiting
station, complains this morning at the
careless way in which persons are
hanging the flag. He says the sailor
and soldier boys in town, and the ones
coming notice all those things and like
to see the home people do things
right. The courtesy of the flag means
much more to them now than it ever
did before and they like to see the
proper respect shown it.
Several are upside down. The jack,
or the blue part, should face the
street. O'Connor says that the flags
hung out by several stores are hung
backwards He wanted to tell them
of the error in correct procedure but
felt that they would think he was I'M
necessarily butting in. There are
plenty of ex-soldiers and sailors in
town who will be perfectly willing to
explain, the correct method.
