Il have actually gained twenty
pounds, and that certainly seems re
markable for one of my age, as
am now sixty-four," said Mrs. L. E.
Soutter, residing at 1866 East
Twelfth street, Des Moines, Iowa, in
relating her experience with Tanlac,
recently.
! II had suffered so long and so Sc

ment for the benefit of others who
are trying to find relief"
Here is another instance OF the
wonderful reconstructive powers of
Tanlac. Mrs. Soutter is only one Of
many thousands who have taken 1t
with the same remarkable results. |
Tanlac proved of great benefit to
her because 1t contains certain me- !
dicinal properties which enrich the |
blood and promote a healthy appe- |
tite for nourishing food. Tanlac has !
been very successful in overcoming i
nervousness and sleeplessness, not i
from quieting effect on the nerves,
for it has no such effect, but by
the nerves and bring
ing back the normal state of health
through its effect on the appetite
and nutrition Of the. body.

entire jury.
I'VE Will try to prove" siad Mr.
Murphy that the Chicago Daily Tri-
bune in it's campaign for prepared
ness was doing so solely in an effort
to embroil the United States in war
with Mexico so that American muni-

instead OF being shipped to the enc
mics Of Germany. Does any member

views which would prejudice him

ALLIES PREPARING FOR THE
EVENTFUL DAY WITH TURKEY

Paris.-That the allies are prepar-
ing for the eventfui day, when the
Turks are to be reckoned with in
peace treaty, is indicated by the fact
that British. French. American, Ital-
ian and Greek warships. with landing
parties. have begun a great concentra-
ton at Smyrna, Asia Minor. Allied
troops also are being massed at Salo-
niki. The concentration at Smyrna Is
connected with the mandate given to
Greece by the peace conference to ad-
minister the affairs of the Turkish
seaport, while the belief Is expressed
in Paris that the massing at Saioniki
is connected with the enforcement OF
the peace terms to be presented to
the Ottomans, which IL is thought
probable will include a demand that
the Turks leave Europe.

GERMANY BROUGHT BLOCKADE
TROUBLES UPON HERSELF

Paris.-Germanys blockade trou-
bles were primarily brought upon her
by herself, writes Macmillan Harden,
the German Free Lance. in the latest
number Of his periodicals, Die Zu-
kuhft.
Both Bismarck and Caprivi had pre-.
dicted such a measure against Ger
many if she went to war, the writer
points out. but he argues that it would
have been impossible for the block
ade to have been imposed If Germany
had not refused at the Hague in 1907
to accept the British proposition tend
ing to the abolition OF the right OF
capture and that OF prohibited zones
on the sea.
The men who at that time were
directing German foreign policy, Herr
Harden continues. were convinced
that in case OF the outbreak OF an An
gloGerman war the British people
no longer devoted to agriculture,
would suffer from famine much before
Germany, a country highly developed
agriculturallya nd adjoining Russia,
Holland and Denmark
