SAYS EFFORTS FAILED
Unable TO Get Relief From Trouble
Until He Took Tanlac

my efforts to find a medicine or
treatment that would overcome my
troubles, failed completely until l
commenced taking Tanlac," said Earl
o. Freely, a well known gardener
who lives at 705 Kenwood Parkway,
Minneapolis, while talking to a Tan
lac representative the other day.
Il had a bad attack of pneumonia
about eighteen months ago." contin-
ued Mr.. Freely, ''and up to the time
/ commenced taking Tanlac l had
been having a pretty tough time of
1t ever since. For about three months
after getting up from this spell | wa>
not able to do any work at all. |
finally improved to the extent that |
was able to do a little work and then
the Flu hit me, and this just about
put the finishing touch to me. Well,
BILE and after being in bed for sew
eral weeks | was able to be up again.
but my entire system was left in a
terrible weak, rundown condition.
didn't have any appetite to speak of
and what little | did eat didn't seem
to give me any strength or en- ergy to
get about very much, and the differ
emit medicines | took didn't seem to
do me any good at all.
Il had been reading SO much about
Tanlac, and what 1t had done for SO
many other people, so Il decided to
give il a trial myself. / didn't think
it was possible for anybody TO inn
prove so fast as / did after / began
taking Tanlac. Why, my troubles
have been completely overcome, and
| am so well and strong now that !
not only put in full time at my work
every day, but / work in my garden
at home until dark every night. ]
have such a big appetite that three
hearty meals a day doesn't satisfy me,
and | have to eat a little between
meals. In fact, | just feel fine all the
time and never enjoyed BETTER gen
eral health in my life. l have in
duced a good many people to take
Tanlac, and every n of them have
been greatly benefited by it, and
certainly take pleasure in recon-
mending it to anybody who is in q
rundown condition from any cause
Tanlac is sold in Madison by A. H
Osborn, in Wentworth by F. w
Blackford, in Chester by R. w
Rooney, and in Ramona by III. j

| RANSOM FOR AMERICAN
Fred G. Hugo, Manager of Donies'
Ranch, Held-British Subject
Taken Is Released,

EAGLE PASS. Tex. December 13
(by the Associated Press).-Interest
in Villista activities in the state of
Coahuila tonight centered in the hold
ing by the bandits of an American
citizen for $4,000 ransom
So far as known here, there were
no developments today in the military
situation between Mexican federal
soldiers and some 400 men under the
personal command Of Francisco Villa,
who were ousted from Muzquiz,
Coahuila, yesterday.
The American held for ransom by
Villa is Fred G. Hugo, manager of
the J. NJ. Dobies ranch near Muzuuiz.
No details of his capture or treatment
had been received tonight. 1t is pre-
Sumed he was carried into the noun
tains to which the Villistas fed yes
terday after their rout by the federal
troops from Muzquiz. which town the
bandits had occupied since Tuesday.
r. 3. Dawson. British subject. also
reported captured by the bandits, was
released later, reports here said.
Earlier reports that two Americans
were held for ransom proved incor-
rect, due to an error in wire trans
mission.
Besides Hugo. several prominent
Mexicans are reported held by Villa
for $1,000 ransom.

Formal announcement that he

made by Senator Hiram johnson Of
California last night HA SAID HI

not intend to have the candidacy de-

Outlines His Plans.
Plans of Senator Johnson. who for
merly was Governor Of California.
and who ran as vice presidential can
didate with Theodore Roosevelt on
the progressive ticket in 1912. he
stated include a direct appeal to the
electorate in each state. whether their
choice Of candidate is made by con-
vention or primary.
II have been laid up the past week

ment said. Il hope to get myself in

II fully realize the handicaps under

INSISTS PRESIDENT
APPOINT D. c. RENT
BODY IMMEDIATELY
Senator Sherman Says
Otherwise He Will Block
Other Nominations.

Unless the President sends to the
Senate the nominations of the Dis
trict of Columbia rent commission,
provided for in the Ball amendment,
without further delay. Senator Sher-
man of Illinois. chairman of the Dis
trict committee. will go into execu-
tive sessions of the Senate and hold
up confirmation of other appointees
of the President. he said last night.
Sees Immediate Need.
TT is now nearly two months since
the bill providing for the appoint
ment of this rent commission was ap-
proved by the President and became
law" said Senator Sherman. The
situation here demands the appoint
ment of the commission, and has de-
manded it for long time. The law
was passed by Congress because of
the rent situation here. The commits
sion is needed now. not a year from
now. 1t appears that the President
is able to send to the Senate scores
of other appointments. and I see no
reason why. after all these weeks, he
cannot send in the names of the rent
commission"
The nomination of DR.. John Van
will be laid before the committee at
a meeting tomorrow. 1t is probable,
Senator Sherman said. that it will be
referred to a subcommittee for con-
sheraton.
Two other Inportsnt Matters.
Two other matters Of much inter-
est to the District are scheduled to
come up at the committee meeting.

said But he intends to keep at the
matter until a bill Is framed and
passed by the Senate.
The second measure, to. be consid-
cred is the bill to increase the pay of
the firemen Of the District. This bill
