But After Taking Tanlac Mechanic

Il used to be laying off half of
the time before l tok Tanlac, but
l never miss a day from work now, -
said l. W. Holmes, 989 South Sem
mary street, Galesburg, pipe-fitter
for the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad. Mrs. Holmes was
with him when he made this state
ment and was even more enthusi-
astic than her husband in praise
of Tanlac. Mr.. Holmes continued:
Il had a spell of typhoid fever
about two years ago and instead
of leaving me with a big appetite
as l heard it would / didn't feel
like eating anything and even what
little l did force down seemed to
do me more harm than good, and l
had to live on milk and other Ii
guilds because my stomach just
wouldn't digest any solid food. l
kept on losing weight until l was
hardly more than shadow to what
l was before | was taken down,
and l was so weak that l couldn't
work regularly. My nerves seemed
to go to pieces SO that any noise
like children playing would upset
me so that l would have to get away
to some place where l couldn't hear
sound. At night l would lie
awake for hours. turning and twist

wife told ME about TanIac I didn't
think it would do me any good, but
she finally persuaded me to take it

TO PLAN FUTURE
HELP FOR THOSE
DISABLED IN WAR

New York, Feb. 27.-Officiais OF
governmental agencies OF seven ma
lions and dominions will meet here
from March Is to % to plan LOT the
rehabilitation of disabled men, CT
villains as well as soldiers, ana put
them back on the payroll. The con-
ference will be held under the aus
pieces of the Red Cross destitute LOT
Crippled and Disabled Hen.
The authorities to be represented
are the British minister of pensions,
the French National Institute Tor
War Cripples, the Belgian Military
institute for Crippled Soldiers, the
Italian Ministry of Pensions, the
Canadian Invalided Soldiers com
mission, the Australian department
OF repatriation, and the bureau OF
re-education and reconstruction or
the American Red Cross in France.
Individu.-: ORGANIZATIONS of other
countries also will be represented.
Authorities in tie United States
who are expected to attend are rep
resentatives O1 the fedora board OF
vocational e. lcation, which is pro-
viding for american disabled SOL
dACA II ming lOl
division of physical reconstruction
of the office of the surgeon-generai
of the army, which is providing res
tOrative treatment and education
during the convalescent period; the
bureau of war risk insurance, which
furnishes artificial limbs to soldiers
of the American expeditionary force,
and pays disability compensation;
and the American Red Cross depart
ment of civilian relief, which,
through its home service sections,
provides social after-care, for dis
abIed men.
To make disabled soldiers or CT
villains self supporting, rather than
to permit them to lose initiative
and lapse back upon the support of
war pensions or workmen's COM
pensation relief is one of the aims
of the conference. Pointing out
that many more men are disabled
annually in industry than have been
incapacitated by military service,
the authorities who have an interest
in the cripple are planning to give
the civilian the same relief as the
soldier.

SLOGANS COINED
BY REVENUE MEN
TO GET RETURNS

Slogans coined by the internal
revenue bureau to stimulate early
and full payment OF income taxes
reflect the changed conditions in
which the taxpayer finds himself
now that victory has been won and
hostilities have ceased. The pow
ers of autocracy have been defeat
ed, but the monetary cost of the
success still is to be met, largely
by the taxes to be paid this year.
Army of Occupation sounds
good, but it needs your support, :"
says one of the slogans. Then it
asks, Have you paid your income
taxi"
Another classes an income tax
receipt with a gold service stripe.
Those who celebrated victory
most loudly are reminded that
footing a horn on armistice day
did not end your part in winning
a peace with victory. Paying your
income tax makes more real noise
than footing a horn"
Persons who may be inclined to
grumble at the increased rate of
taxation are given food for thought
in the following:
IF you think your income tax is
a hardship, picture what you would
have been up against had William
HohenZollern won the collectorship
job"
Other slogans include:
You stand up for the national
anthem. Now stand up and pay
your income tax.
There were no delinquents at
Chauteau-Thierry Are you delay
ing the payment of your income
tax?
Don't try to fool your conscience
by cheering the returning soldiers
and forgetting to pay your income
tax. An income tax evader hasn't
much on any of the other pro-Ger-
mans.
IF you didn't serve over there
you can serve over here by paying
your income tax.
When the boys come home they
will ask what you have done. Show
them your income tax receipt.
when you pay your income tax
you get a receipt from Uncle Sam.
What would lave William Hohen-
zollern have handed you?
"Uncle Sam still has a big job
ahead of him. Help him by paying
your income tax now"

TO ASK REPORT
OF CASH SPENT
Patriots Fund Trustee Board to
Require Statement From Each
Of Benefiting Bodies.
TO SPLIT EMERGENCY MONEY
Each Beneficiary to Receive Per-
centage Of Money Held in Re-
serve During Year.

Written statements showing the
manner in which their allotments
were expended is to be asked of
every organization in the city that
benefited by the Patriots fund dur
ing 191S-1919. The request for
stat aments will be made at a meet
ing Of the board of trustees of the
Patriots fund next week.
The submitted reports are ex-
pected to prove the falseness of
persistent runors that have been
making the rounds with reference
10 the Patriots fund organizations
expenditures. Numerous charges
have been made, it is said, to the
eHect that non-charitable organ
l9ations and private individuals
have been extorting money from
thu fund without authorization
Division of the money paid over
into the emergency fund to all of
the othec benehting organizations
will take place at the meeting next
week. 4 total Of $22, 92299 was re-
corued IN the EN- Urgency fund on
Jan. 81. This is to be divided
among the organizations listed as
bcnoac.aries with the amount paid
ever int the fund during the pres
eat month.
smaller Than Planned.
The emergency fund budget was
sst as S34 800. The Patriots fund
budget was set $185,000. Pledges
amounting to between STA 600 and
$17G,00O were made. 1t is estimat-
Gu that ABOUT $I4O,00 has been col
teIcted to date. FAILURE of the peo-
PIE IN paying the full amount
asked caused a reduction in the
amounts allowed the various or
CARNATIONS and also resulted in
the reduction OF the amount held for
emergencies. AS a result the
fund now totals closer
t0S2U,O00 than to $4,000 and allot-
ments scheduled to be given the
charitable organizations are de-
creased likewise. The emergency
fund will be utilized to help bring
the aIlotments of the various or
CARNATIONS closer to the amounts
scheduled to be given them when
the Patriots fund budget was de-
termined.
