Where the War Money Went

November, 1918, we had a car
60 fleet of 1885, 900 lightweight
tons. which transported to
France $4,000 short tons of
cargo. Of the 2,048,008 Amer
lean soldiers sent over, 898,449
were carried under the Ameri-
can flag.
Uncle Sam built in France
1897 miles of standard gauge
railroad and 538 miles of mar
row gauge total of 1,475
miles nearly as much standard
gauge railroad as there is in
Connecticut - almost another
Lackawanna system. Counting
in the narrow gauge, there is
more mileage than the railroads
in Maryland, and nearly anoth-
er Chicago, Great Western sys-
tenn. In locomotives, 1888
standard gauge engines were
shipped to France, and LOSS
erected; 406 narrow gauge loco
motives shipped to France; 49,
013 standard gauge cars ship
ped to France and 1902 erect
ed; 1851 narrow gauge cars
shipped over. In this country
the Armistice found half as
much railroad equipment again,
ready for shipment or under
construction; 500 standard
gauge locomotives, 1855 stan
dard gauge cars, PIT narrow
gauge locomotives, 4,872 mar
row gauge cars.

my abroad was equal to the
British Expeditionary Force
2,013,039 officers and men in
Europe and Siberia. Back home
we had 1880, 234 more in train
ing, and were steadily turning
them out of the training camps
after A months drilling. q
Where the war money went?
Our war money-if it went
anywhere it was largely from
one pocket to the other, and it
has worked so we'll for us, and
will work so much harder in the
future, that it was not an ex,
penditure, bat a splendid ma
tional investment.

From our entry in the war
to the end of 1919. Uncle Sans
outgo was more than 26 billion
dollars. But of this nearly 8
billion were lent to other ma
tions--and that was some of
the best fighting finance, as you
will see a little later.
BY spending and lending 26
billion in nineteen months we
saved six months further war
fare, and perhaps a year.
: We also saved at least 100,-
600 American soldiers lives and
four times as many wounded.
Nor was this all. For had the
war continued through. 1919 our
further expense this year would
have been not less than Is bill
lion dollars, and more likely 30
billions. So that through the
nineteen months of war spend
ing, if We deduct money raised
to lend Allied nations, we find
that every dollar raised by Lib
erty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps came pretty near saw
ing the spending of two dollars
during 1919-the year of fight
ing that never came.
Shipping was a big problem,
and we were caught short of
merchant ships. But our ship
yards got busy and new ships
were built, and old ones brought
from the Great Lakes, taken
from coast-wise service, char
tered from neutral nations, and
lent US by the Allies. So, in

pensatory and in other standard
medical text books as haying a
beneficial action upon the organs
of secretion, whose proper func-
tioning results in the publication
of the blood streams passing
through them. In this manner
Objectionable and poisonous in
gradients of the blood are re-
moved, and the entire system is
invigorated and vitalized.
Tanlac was designed primarily
for the correction of disorders of
the stomach. liver and bowels.
At the same time. however, it is
a powerful reconstructive tonic
and body builder. for it natural
ly follows that any medicine that
brings about proper assimilation
of the food and the thorough
elimination of the waste pro-
ducts must therefore have a far
reaching and most beneficial eff
feet upon the entire system.
Although Tanlac's claim for
supremacy are abundantly sup
ported by the worlds leading
authorities, it is the people them
selves who have really made
Tanlac what it is. Millions upon
millions have used it, and have
told other millions what it has
done for them. That is why
Tanlac has become the real SEN
sation of the drug trade in this
country, and that is also why it
is the most widely talked-of
medicine in the world today.
Tanlac is sold in Colfax by
Dixie Pharmacy and by one
regular established agency in
every town.

Public Now Told
All About Tanlac
Authorities Now Show Just What
This Medicine Really Is. (:

In a recent issue of this paper
announcement was made that
Tanlac now has the largest sale
of sale of any medicine of its
kind in the world, and that more
than twelve million bottles had
been sold during the past four
years.
These are unusual figures, and
the question naturally arises in
the mind of the reader why this
phenomenal success and why
has this preparation so far out
stripped all other medicines of
its kind. 1t is only natural there
fore that the manufacturers
should offer some explanation to
satisfy public interest.
: In the first place, Tanlac is
manufactured in one of the larg-
est and most modernly equipped
laboratories in this country. It's
formula is purely ethical and
complies with all national and
state pure food and drug laws.
Altogether there are ten ingred-
tents in Tanlac, each of which is
of recognized therapeutic value.
Many of these ingredients
have been individually known
and used since civilization first
began, and some of them have
been used and prescribed by
leading physicians everywhere,
but until they were brought to-
gether in proper proportion and
association as in the Tanlac for
mula, humanity had not hereto
fore. realized their full value and
effect.
In referring to one of the more
important ingredients Of Tanlac.
the Encyclopedia Britannica says:
1T has long been the source of
the most valuable tonic medi-
cines that have ever been dis
covered. In referring to others
of the general tonic drugs con-
tanned in Tanlac the 18th Edi-
ton Of Potter's Therapeutics, a
standard medical text book, stat
es that they impart general
tone and strength to the entire
system, including all organs and
tissues.
This same we'll known author
ity in describing the physiologi-
cal action of still another of the
ingredients of Tanlac which is of
value in treating what is COM
monty known as "a rundown
condition" uses the following
expression: 1T is highly es-
teemed in loss of appetite during
convalescense from acte dis
cases."
There are certain other ele-
ments in Tanlac which because
of their influence upon appetite,
digestion, assimilation and elimi-
nation improve the nutrition and
vital activity of all tissues and
organs of the body, and produce
that state of general tonicity
which is called health.
In discussing another ingred-
lent the Encyclopedia Britannica
says: 1T is one of the most eff
ficent of that class of substances
which act upon the stomach so
as to invigorate digestion and
thereby increase the general nu-
triton. 1t is used indyspepsia,
chlorosis, anemia and various
other diseases in which the tone
of the stomach and alimentary
canal is deficient" Concerning
still another ingredient this same
standard authority says: 1T
