little work and then the Flu hit me,
and this just about put the finishing
touch to me. Well, I managed to pull
through this trouble and after being in
bed for several weeks I was able to
be up again, but my entire system
was left in a terrible weak and run
down condition. / didn't have any ap-
petite to speak Of and what little
did eat didn't seem to give me any
strength or energy to get about very
much, and the, different medicines I
took didn't seem to do me any good at
all.
Il had been reading so much about
Tanlac, and what it had done for so
many other people, so I decided to
give it a trial myself. I didn't think
it was possible for anybody to improve
as fast as I did after I began taking
Tanlac. Why, my troubles have been
completely overcome, and I am so well
and strong now that I not only put in
full time at my work every day, but
I work in my garden at home until
dark every night. I have such a big
appetite that three hearty meals a
day doesn't satisfy me, and I have to
eat a little between meals. In fact, !
just feel fine all the time and never
enjoyed better general health in my
life. I have induced a good many peo-
pie to take Tanlac and everyone OF
them have been greatly benefited
by it, and I certainly take pleasure in
recommending it to any body who is
in a run down condition from any
cause"
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by Sig

service, by which the roads can oper-
ate under private ownership without
being hampered by laws and orders
of commissions to such an extent as to
prevent possible prosperity
For many years the roads have had
no chance. They have been forced to
meet increased cost of labor and ma
terial and to accept constant reduc-
tons in passenger and freight tariffs
The people may be sure that freight
tariffs, now one of the greatest bur
dens under which the consumer stag
gers, will not be reduced by the gov
eminent. But there may be compen-
sation in. the starting of new and need
ed branch lines and in equipment and

The dream of government owner
ship of roads has passed. The south

and the people of the country gener-
ally have had about all Of the expert

ESSMENT Of
MINES WORRYING
STATE ASSEMB
Many Schemes Suggested for
Changing Present Law theI
Public Health Measure Isl
Being Worked Over,

Santa Fe, March 1.-The public
health measure, II. y. No. 11S, is be-
ing worked over in caucus today. So
many objections were raised in and
out of the legislature to various fea-
lures of the bill that it became neces-
sary to reach an agreement on
amendments before reporting it for
passage. 1t was said this afternoon
that the bill was being greatly modl-
fled to fit New Mexico conditions.
The mine tax law is being quite
generally discussed, but so far no one
has devised a satisfactory measure.
Several measures are before the house
and at least one is before the senate.
One bill is modelled after the Arizona
law and if enacted would no doubt
produce more revenue to the state
than the present law. Several meas
ures have been introduced to provide
moro effective measures for the col
lecting delinquent taxes More than
$2,500,000 in delinquent taxes are out
standing for the last six years. So
far no measure has been agreed upon
Senate bill No. 20. creating a sol
diers and sailors settlement board,
will be further considered IN the SEN
ate Monday. Important amendments
are proposed by the committee. one
provides for a soldiers settlement
commissioner, appointed by the gov
ernor. He shall be chairman on the
board of four, the other three being
the state engineer, the president of
the state college and the land COM
missioner. Another amendment pro-
vides an appropriation Of $4,000 for
administration. The board Is required
to cooperate with the United States
to provide employment and rural
homes for soldiers, marines and others
who have seen service in the Amcri-
can army in the European war or
other wars.
Neither house was in session today
Adjournment until Monday was taken
to give the various committees an OPP
portunity to work without Interrupt
ton on important bills now under
consideration. The chairmen of the
committees minated that the COM
ing week will see much work done in
both houses SO far few bills have
been passed and signed by the gov
ernor and the bulk of these are of
minor Importance.

HOW TO BOOM BUSINESS.
New York Sar

Copper producers seeking to find a
market in which they could sell their
product cut prices deeply--and they
found 1t. For the first time in nearly
three months there was immediate
buying. At last the hundreds of in
dustries and trades which can always
use copper bought on a normal basis
will go ahead and do business At
last the copper business itself looks
better because any industry doing
nothing at all, as the copper industry
was, is sick business.
The building trades, the railroads,
the telegraph and telephone lines, the
public utilities, the manufacturers of
machinery, have all wanted to buy
steel and copper and other materials
so that they could start up peace
business But to do peace business
they must operate on normal basis.
They cannot buy on the abnormal
basis of war when they cannot sell on
the abnormal basis of war. Except
for temporary and emergency work,
they waited, they had to wait. until
producers of basic materials We're
willing to find a market on the way
down to the consumer.
In the last three months not much
of anything else has been the matter
with normal industry and business
not much Of anything but waiting for
a market where industry could supply
it's needs at prices which would per-
nit it to do business and live. When
the producers of all basic materials
are determined, like the producers of
copper, to make market for con-
sumers. the industry and business of
this country will begin to grow again
to the dimensions almost of war in
dusty and business. Set all the wheels
aturning.
