GAINS q POUNDS
Kansas City Man Tells of His
Improvement.
Restored By Tanlac-Suffered
Ten Years.

Il am so hungry when 1 get home
from my work every night that l can
hardly wait for my wife to get sup
Der on the table," said Rolla +. Gay
berg, a valued employe of the Thomp-
son Lumber company, and whose resi-
dence is 3211 Howard street, kansas
City, Mo, a few days ago
Il consider it a duty L owe the pub
lie" he continued. Ito make PLAIN
statement of the wonderful benefits
have gotten from taking Tanlac, for
it IS certainly one medicine that does
all they say it will do l suffered from
rheumatism in my hips and legs for
ten long years, and the pain and
agony l went through with is simply
more than words can tell. When |
would lie down, or even sit down, /
couldn't get up without help, ana
when l got on my feet couldn't walk
unless L used a cane. l also suffered
great deal from indigestion, and my
appetite was very poor, and what ut
tie | did manage to eat would sour on
my stomach and make me miserable
for hours afterwards. l lost great
deal in weight and finally got so run
down and nervous that l couldn't sleep
very much.
Il guess I would still be in that
condition if it hadn't been for neigh
Dor of ours who came in one day and
gave a glowing description of her eX-
perience with Tanlac. L knew this
lady well and knew that every word
she said was true, so 1 began taking
Tanlac right away. 1 had only taken
one bottle when l could easily tell that
Tanlac was going to do the work. The
pains in my hips and legs grew less
every day, and the stiffness began to
leave my joints and leaders. My ap-
petite came back, and the condition
of my stomach had improved so much
that my food would not sour, and
would not have indigestion after
meals. BY the time 1 had finished my
sixth bottle of Tanlac I had not only
gained twenty-one pounds in weight,
but was free from all my troubles
Every sign of rheumatism has disap-
peared. and my stomach seems to be
in perfect condition. l never had a
better appetite and I can eat meats,
pies and cakes or anything else that
is put before me, and never suffer
from indigestion at all. I am back
on the job handling lumber every day
now, and that is not very easy work,
but / am so well and strong that it
doesn't hurt me at all. 1 am more
than glad to recommend Tanlac for 1t
has been a great blessing to me-

GET enfield RIFLES
Several Browning Machine Guns Also
Arrive for Fourth Regiment.

More than 1900 Enfield rifles, mod
Ell 1917, and several Browning ma
chine guns have been shipped from
Fort Riley to Topeka for the use of
the Fourth regiment K. n. G. Com
pany H of the Fourth regiment expects
to get its allotment of these next Tues
day night. 1e.
The United States government is is
suing 100000 worth of arms, cloth
ing and other equipment to the Fourth
regiment alone. The stuff to be issued
will include everything necessary for
regiment in the field no more, no less;
SO the expenditure of the 5000, 600 rep
resents no extravaganza or waste
whatever. The United States govern
ment gives all this equipment to the
state of Kansas at absolutely no ex-
pense to the latter.
The equipment now on store in the
north basement of the state house in
cludes hats, shirts, cotton uniforms,
leggins, blankets, camp cots, tents
camp ranges. kitchen utensils. in
trenching tools, stretchers, utensils for
the proper sanitation and cleaning of
camps, and military text books and
publications. About the only things
still lacking are the olive drab wooden
uniforms and the heavy service shoes,
and these are on the way to Topeka
All the supplies for the one regi-
ment will at least completely fill every
room in the cellar under the north
wing of the state capitol. and it looks
as tho some of the goods received
would have to be stored somewhere
else.

CONTROL MORRIS BANKS
Senate Committee Would Put Them
Under State Commissioner.

Senate Committee Would Put Them
Under State Commissioner.
The senate committee on banks and
banking wants the Morris Plan banks
o. Kansas placed under the super
vision of the state bank commissioner.
A bill providing for this has been
drawn by the committee and will be
taken up by the senate for considera-
ton in a short time.
One member of the senate commit
tee on banks and banking, in discuss
ing the bill said:
Originally the Morris Plan bank
philanthrOpic concern intended to give
help to the persons who could not get
financial aid from the regular banks.
A number of the Morris Plan banks
are still operated along this line, but
there are others now that take de-
posits just like other banks, and that
issue and dispose of deposit certifi-
Gates.
I'VE also understand there are still
others that are selling stock promiscu-
ously and that are operated for gain
and profit with little thought of
philanthropy. In other states we I'm
derstand the former loan sharks are
getting under the Morris Plan in order
to continue to do business, and it is
felt&. that the4~sbank commissioner
SHOulQ De given power TO investigate
and ascertain how such institutions
are being run.
Morris Plan banks that are operat-
ing under the old system and that are
doing a legitimate business cannot OBJ
ject to this, and believe most of them
will welcome it. If there are any
others operating in the state they
should be brought under supervision,
and We feel that the legitimate in
stitutions will gladly do all that they
can to keep the state free from in
situations that would have a tendency
to injure and discredit their business. !"

KEEP WATER Pure.
Smith Bill Opens Way for Dras-
tic Oil Well Inspection.
Stanley Would Create State Oil
and Gas Commission.
SUPERVISOR At 81, 800 A YEAR
Decide Upon Proper Ways of
Drilling Wells in State.
1t All Grew Out of Little Local
Winfield Measure.

Big oaks can from little acorns grow
in a Kansas legislature as well as in
Kansas picnic grove. And Senator A
F. Smith of Burden can prove to you
that they grow much more rapidly in
legislative soil. Perhaps before long
he will be able to tell you how much
harder they are to get rid of when
they spring up in unexpected places.
Quietly, without ostentation or ora
tory of any kind, Senator Smith
slipped bill into the hopper a short
time ago. 1t was too small to have
teeth. too short to hide a joker and
too local in it's nature to attract atten-
ton. 1t was just little piece of leg
islation the people back home at Win
field wanted to protect their water
supply and the bill had been drawn
by the Winfield city attorney and Civ
en- to Smith to look after when he
had nothing important on hand.
A number of oil prospectors near
Winfield had been putting. holes in
the ground and then going away and
leaving them unplugged and uncased
with the result that the salt water had
seeped up to the pure water stratum
and polluted it to such an extent that
the cows and. chickens thought they
were being forced to drink EPSON
salts and the farmers came to the con-
clusion something would have to be
done
Would Case Up Wells.
And so the county attorney at Win
field sat down to his typewriter and
dashed off a little bill to make Mr.. Gil
Driller a little more careful. 1t pro-
vided that when a we'll was drilled
thru a vein or stratum containing salt
water either the driller or the owner
be required to case up the hole or take
other steps to keep the salt water

SPARKS WAS THERE
Headed. Senate to Negro School and
Praised Honor Student.

Headed. Senate to Negro School and
Praised Honor Student.
Senator Oh Sparks of Galena. father
of the bill to segregate negro school
children in all second class cities of
Kansas, was booked to be a fountain
head for fun when the members of
the senate visited the co1ored educa-
tiona1 and industrial school to enjoy a
barbecue feast Wednesday at noon
The members of the senate unani-
mously chose him to head the upper
house delegation of visitors.
Sparks accepted the honor gladly
and led his delegation with all the dig
nifty of a southern Kansas mine mag
nate. Soon after reaching the insti-
tute the senators were taken over by
the principal, who began to show them
what was being done and how the
buildings were shown, then the
grounds and then the classes.
Finally as climax to the exhibit
ton the honor student of the senior
class was brought out. She was an
intelligent and very bright looking
young lady and when she made her
appearance the principal said:
Gentlemen, l now want to intro
duce you to the honor student of our
senior class. She is a young lady from
He probably intended to say some
mere about her, but Immediately the
cry went up for Sparks and nothing
would do the senators, but he say
something in acknowledgment of the
fact that the honor student of the
school came from his home county.
Many wondered what he would have
to say and if he would not be a little
embarrassed as he would realize he
was being pushed forward largely be-
cause of his attitude towards the ne
gro school question. But Sparks was
equal to the occasion. He arose, gra-
ciously acknowledged the applause
that greeted him and said:
Gentlemen, speaking for Cherokee
county, I want to say to you that we
are proud of this young lady and of
her accomplishments And, further
more, want to assure you and doubly
assure you that Cherokee county is
proud of the school that has given her
the wonderful opportunities she has
enjoyed
After he had finished talking one
senator said to another: 81 guess old
Or does not know how to talk for the
things he wants on all occasions."

from coming up and polluting the
fresh water supply.
The bill came out of its committee
with flying col. rs and Senator Smith
seemed in a harmless mood. Then he
allowed it to come up for considera-
ton in the committee of the whole.
That is when the trouble began.
The senate that afternoon was not in
as quiet a mood as the senator from
Burden had judged Maybe the mem
bers had been mapping little bit. but
if they had they woke up out of bad
dream. Attacks came from all over
the floor. One senator contended that
on land owners where wells had been
drilled. Another asserted that it
would practically ruin the oil industry
of the state and quoted long strings
of figures to show what running such
a thing as the oil industry would
mean. Another asserted that it would
be hopeless task trying to make
drillers safeguard the pure water of
the state and still another that it would
be impossible to drill a well and then
keep the salt water from rising in the
hole.
Then 1t Became Statewide.
The little Winfield bill Immediately
became a piece of statewide legisla-
ton of the most vital nature. Section
by section it was picked to pieces.
amended. changed and twisted unit.
Senator Smith hardly knew it as the
innocent little thing the Winfield city
attorney had given him. Finally it
was recommended for passage subject
to amendment and debate and Sena-
tor Smith silently accepted the fate
melted out to it and again began to
watch for a favorable time to bring it
up But such a time is now de-
SPARED of.
Senator Smith has just received a
big, bulky bill covering half a dozen
typewriter pages that he understands
certain oil men expect to try to have
substituted for his 26-line bill as soon
as it again occupies the attention of
the senate. Not only is the substitute
a full grown oak in size but it carries
bumper crop of full grown acorns
that may in time produce other oaks.
Supervisor at $4,000 Year.
The substitute is supposed to have
been drawn by Fred Stanley. And, if
it was, there can be no doubt that
Stanley wants the Winfield water sup
ply kept pure regardless of costs. In
order to make sure that the Winfield
cows do not have to drink salt water
Stanley proposes that state oil and
gas commission be formed consisting
of the governor, the director of the
state geological survey and another
member to be appointed by the gov
ernor. Also, he proposes that an oil
and gas supervisor be appointed at a
salary of $4,000 a year with the power
to appoint as many assistants as he
needs at salaries not to exceed $1,000
a year.
The substitute bill that grew out of
the little Winfield measure provides
that the duties of the oil and gas COM
mission shall be to investigate as to
the proper method of drilling wells
and to attempt to discover WAYS and
means of drilling wells so that the
reservoirs and streams may be saved
from pollution. The duties of the oil
and gas supervisor and his assistants
are to be to travel around over the
state and see that the methods pre-
scribed by the commission are carried
out.
