event will take place in the week

tration OF these laws, which have
been greatly altered by some radi-
cal changes, will be included in

HAD SUFFERED
Since A BOY
at Relieved Of 81 Years Trouble
and Gains Twelve Pounds by
Taking TanlRC.

4 have not only gained twelve
pounds since 1 commenced taking
Tanlac, but I have been completely
relieved of twenty years suffering"
said Lewis Higgins, a we'll known
and prosperous farmer who lives
at North Kansas City, Mo, while in
the Owl Drug Store in Kansas City
the other day.
Yes. sir, Tanlac Just knocked
my troubles winding" continued
Mr.. Higgins. "and it is the only
medicine I got hold O. that did me
any good at all l had been suffer
ing from rheumatism ever since I
was seven years old, and I just
gradually grew worse as l grew
older. and I finally got to the point
where I wasn't able to walk at
times. The joints in my legs would
swell something awful. and the
misery and pain l underwent is
simply more than ] will ever be
able to tell. I didn't know what it
was to get good nights sleep
Finally my stomach went back on
me, and what l ate would sour and
cause gas to form so bad I could
hardly get my breath. I tell you l
was in mighty bad shape, and the
different medicines and treatments
/ had didn't do me a particle c.
good.
My father told me one day that
he had read in the papers where
several people who had been sTf-
fering like l did Lad been helped
by taking Tanlac, and advised me
A. give it a triaI Well, sir, i Just
beats the world the way 1 have
improved since I commenced taking
thae medicine. Why, l have only
taken four bottles so far, and | can
walk just as good as l ever could
in my life, and NY general health
] shelter than it has been since I
is better than II has been since 7
pletely left my joints, and l am
able to work every day in the
week I have actually done more
hard work this summer than l
ever did in my life in the same
length of time. My nerves are as
steady as a clock, and I sleep like
a. log every night. I have gotten
rid of that stomach trouble, too,
and eat three hearty meals every
day and 1 never suffer a particle
afterwards. I will tell the world
that Tanlac is the best medicine I
ever saw, and I am glad to have
this opportunity to pass the good
word along"

Fifty-sixth anniversary of the mar

also the 74th anniversary of the lat

attained the irpe old age of so years.
Dave Bender, the cheese maker

He crossed the switch track, turned
around and had gotten back onto the

U. S. eANKERs lN WOLFE.

America is now called upon to play
a role undreamed OF in former years
IN International commerce and finance.
This country has become the one great
source of longtime capital in the

previously been the chief lending ma

no longer In a position to lend by buy
ing foreign securities. They must. in
fact, for years to come themselves be
heavy borrowers. Not only is America
the chief source of longtime money,
but also for a time is likely to be the
chief source of short-time banking
funds to finance international com

occupy a relatively much more com
handing place than before the war
in international transactions, says
Leslie's. Dollar exchange may not dis
place sterling exchange in the markets
of the world, but dollar exchange has

to rank permanently above any ex-
change except sterling. and probably
on an equal footing with sterling ex-

Woman now takes the lead in ag-
gressiveness husbands actually have
been severely beaten, and the husband
beaters admit the whippings, but al
lege they were deserved. The world
is upside down, and all things have
changed. In the olden days the wife
stayed at home and cooked the meals
and looked after the children, II there
were any. Now they roam and ram

tific kindergartens ald are cared for;
and wives, some Of them, anyway,
work in the subway or perform as
conductors on surface trans. The
man no longer is boss, not even of
himself. and In the family domlcile
he takes a back seat. We tell wives
that a spirit of unrest prevails, says

A good deal has been written Of
crime in Germany under war condi-
lions. Evidently there has been a
growing moral laxity there, says Prov
idence Journal Now we are told that
a band of scientific burglars has been
arrested at Berlin-they intended TO
rob the city "by sections, dealing with
profession after profession, and be-
ginning with kinema stars, the most
likely to have money in modern Ber-
lin." This is German efficiency in a
new phase, though, of course. the
world was made familiar with its
criminal possibilities in the systematic
footing of towns in the invaded dis
tricts of France.

ing faculties, in providing new build
ings and equipment and in establish
ing endowments which will assure the
individual institutions of incomes
large enough to meet their respective
growing needs.
The Wisconsin college plan is at
tracing such nationwide attention be-
cause il is unique. Wisconsin pro-
poses to attempt what has never been
attempted before. And the leaders in
the movement predict with absolute
confidence that Wisconsin will accom-
plish what has never before been ac-
eomplished.
Eight Colleges Unite.
Eight institutions, Beloit College,
Campion College, Carroll College, Law
renee College, Marquette University,
Milton College, Northland College and
Ripon College, have become associa-
ted to make this statewide appeal.
UNCONVENTIONAL and non denomina-
tional, Protestant and Catholic col
leges join hands in common cause.
Their problems are similar. They in
tend to acquaint the people of Wis
cousin with those problems.
Ever since the problem of the high
cost of living began to be a serious
one the difficulties Of the colleges, es,
pecially the smaller ones, have in
creased enormously. While the labor

getting his wages increased, the col,

LAST PROVED FATAL TO CHILD
Swallows a Nail and Lived for Six
Months

The La Fargo Enterprise tells of
the death of the eight year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Olaf Bratyoll which
occurred at a La Crosse hospital
About six months ago the boy swal-
lowed a six penny nail. 1t passed
down the bronchial tube and lodged
in one of the lungs. No bad effects
were noticed until ten days before
his death, when he was taken with
what was supposed to be bronchial
pneumonia. Treatment failed to give
any relief and the boy was taken to
La Crosse for an X-ray picture which
showed the nail embedded in the lung.
An operation was performed and the
nail removed, but it had done its IA

Two women were killed and man
badly injured when an airplaue at
