Millwright Gains
Il Pounds
Rulings Suffered Eighteen Years and
Friends Thought He Would
Soon Die.

"After a man suffers for eighteen
years and has fallen off until he only
weighs Ill pounds and everybody
tells him he is going to die, and finds
medicine which viii make him
strong and well again and increase
his weight to one hundred and forty
two pounds, he just couldn't help
recommending it if he wanted to.
'The reason l haven't made pub
lie statement before is because |
wanted to see if my relief was perma-
ncnt. l began taking Tanlac in Oc-
tober, 1915, and took seven bottles.
Hero I am today thirty-one pounds
heavier and still as sound as dollar
and able to do as much work as ever
could in my life.
~ sure was in bad shape before
| started taking Tanlac, because | had
suffered from stomach trouble for
eighteen years and | didn't know what
it was to have well day. / couldn't
eat any kind of heavy food at all for
it would nauseate me and in about
three hours after a meal, it would
come back up. All through the pit of
my stomach l used to have such aw-
full pains that they would nearly draw
me double. Many time would have
to lie down and press my fist hard
against my stomach trying to rub the
pain away, and in spite of all the
medicines-I tried, got so weak and
suffered such agony that ] couldn't
hold out to do any work at all, and
couldn't walk any distance without
having to stop and sit down to get
my breath.
"Well, sir, started taking Tanlac,
and after had been using it four
days, woke up one morning as hum
CRY as a pillow boy and after hearty
breakfast, I didn't notice the stomach
trouble at ALL From then on, I've
been getting better all the time: l
took seven bottles of Tanlac in all,
and honestly believe it saved my life,
for haven't had bit of trouble since
and that's been over two years and a
half ago, so am satisfied l found a
permanent relief.
"You can register me right now

HOME BUILDING TO
Be POPULAR NOW
Plans Can Be Revived as Restric-
lions Are Removed.
MUCH ROOM IN THIS HOUSE
sood Design for Use Either In City or
Small Town Where Narrow
Lot is to Be Used by
the Builder.
BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building, for the readers Of this
paper. On account OF his wide experience
IS Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he
s. without doubt, the highest authority
On all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1897 Prairie
avenue. Chicago. Ill. and only enclose
hree-cent stamp for reply.
Finding q home has been an arduous
Job In many cities and towns during
the last two years. While the de-
mands of industry have drawn many
workers from the rural communities,
the restrictions on building made nee
essary by the war have kept the
builders from providing the homes
that the demand ordinarily would pro-
duce.
Now, however, the restrictions have
been removed and building can go on
This building of homes is being fos-
tered by the United States govern
ment, which, through William B. Will
son, secretary Of the U. S. department
of labor, is urging the necessity Of
building to provide work for those OF
the building trades who have been re
leased from military duty.
During the next few weeks there
will be an active build a building
campaign, which is expected to great
ly stimulate the construction OF
homes. The thoughts Of thousands OF
those who long have desired to have
n home OF their own will be turned tC
the subject of building. And as these
thoughts take form, the prospective
builders will he studying plans fol
their home.
For the Small Lot.

for a home in town or city wher,

try. This house of stucco is "a fee

ed heavy northern hogs have received
very black eye this week.
SHEEP.--Supply in this department
has been much larger than usual,
though not heavy run at that, but
owing to the high prices prevalent,
buyers have forced the market down
on lambs fully 25c per cwt. compared
with last weeks best time, very best
lambs at this writing reaching S18,
though small supply of sheep has
sold fully steady, with an extreme top
of $l1.50.

CATTLE.-Mixed cattle, bulls and
all trashy classes of killing cattle
have sold actively throughout the
week, with prices remaining equal to
the best time of last week, or in other
words, at the high point in months,
however the trade on best grades of
butcher cattle and killing steers has
been much duller, in fact buyers were
out for concessions at the very start
of the market this week, and due to
ample supplies of these kinds, broke
the market 25c to SOC on best butcher
cattle and SOC to 75c on steers. How
ever, today's trade shows a general
resumption of some life, in spite of
the decline indicated.
HOGS.-Since the permit system
was abolished the supply has been
considerable larger, and the volume of
receipts has had considerable influ-
ence in swaying the market to a
backward tendency. The strictly
choice heavy weight Northern hogs
averaged fully 25c lower than last
weeks close, while light weight hogs
average around SOC lower, and the pig
market generally 75c to 81 lower than
the best time last week. The proper
ton Of southern hogs and light weight
stuff has been so much larger than
heretofore that the trade has been
very slow, even at the decline, and
many holdovers carried over from day

Connected that there Is not the neces-
sity Of going around one to get to
another.
The exterior view shown gives an
idea Of how attractive 1t may be made
on the outside, considering that 1t Is
planned for a small city lot. The long
space in the sun parlor for window
boxes, the expanse along the front for
shrubs and the. stretch of lawn all
make 1t attractive.
To those who are the owners Of
small lots In cities and towns, or who
are about to buy building lot and do
not want to put into it the consider
able sum that is necessary where real
estate is expensive, this design will
have strong appeal.
The more the plan is studied the
more 1t will be seen that here is econ
omy Of space, coupled with an attrac-
tive and convenient home.
Small Homes Get Attention.
Some of the best architects In the
country now are giving more and more
attention to the planning of small
homes. Because Of this fact, the de-
signs made nowadays embody some ex-
cellent features. 1t should be remem-
bered when planning to build that the
small sum required as a fee to an ar
chitect is money well spent, in that 1t
saves costly mistakes and assures the
best that can he secured for the money
expended.
Building this year is going to be ex-
tenslve, so the family that intends to
be in its own home before winter
comes again ought to begin consider
ing the subject. This design gives an
excellent working basis from which to
formulate the plans for that home in
the city or town.

Release Of Ledebour
Demanded by Soviet
Congress at Berlin

Berlin, April 10.-A resolution
adopted at the opening session OF
the soviet congress here peremp-
torily demanding the release OF
George Ledebour, independent So
cialist leader arrested during the
Spartacan outbreak, places the
Prussian and national governments
in AN awkward predicament
The demand was based upon the
fact that Herr Ledebour had been
elected a delegate to the congress
and the contention that he should be
permitted to exercise his duties in
that connection. The chairman of
the congress ruled favorably to the
independents on a preliminary mo-
ton and turmoil resulted, in which
the violence of the recriminations
hurled from the left by the radicals
caused the majority socialist men,
bers to become wobbly in a degree
sufficient to insure the necessary
votes to carry the motion.
The Prussian ministry of state is
said to be opposed to setting Lede-
bour free.
