Cane Since Tanlac Built

Well, sir, it's fact, this Tanlac
has put me in shape to where | have
actually gained fourteen pounds, and
This strikes me as being remarkable
especially for one Of my age, for
am now seventy-two," was the state
ment made by P, w. Bemis, Of CID
First avenue, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, In
an interview, recently.
Mr.. Bemis is retired merchant.
He was in the grain business in
South Dakota for twenty years and

Bile and disordered kidneys for three

up to the time ! got Tanlac | had
not been able to find anything to
help me. My stomach was in such
bad condition that was forced
to live on very light diet all the
time. My kidneys bothered me con.
stantly and my back hurt me like
blue blazes.' l was in such weak
ened condition that | had to use n
cane in order to get around at ALL
and, as l had tried all the different
medicines and had been under treat

| was beginning to think my age was
against me and that | would never
feel like myself again.
Seeing Tanlac SO highly recon-
mended, / finally bought a bottle as
a last resort, and could soon see
good results. Then l bought another
bottle, then another, and so on, and
just kept gradually improving, until
now / feel like I have taken a new

years of my life | have never run
across a medicine that l consider in
class with Tanlac."
Hundreds of such statements as
the above are reaching the Tanlac
offices daily from all parts Of the
United States and Canada, and, of
course, are very gratifying. Tanlac
contains wonderful reconstructive
properties, and as general tonic
for weak, rundown systems has no
equal.
When people grow to the ripe old
age of Mr.. Bemis their digestive or
gans lack vitality, act more slowly
and less effectually than in youth
The circulation becomes poor, the
blood thins, the appetite fails and
digestion weakens Tanlac, the pow
erful reconstructiye tonic, is the
ideal strengthener for elderly people
because it creates a good healthy
appetite. aids digestion, enriches the
blood. and in q natural way builds
up. strengthens and invigorates
feeble, rundown, nervous and aged
people.

TOURING NORTHWEST



Spokane, Wash, Oct. 6.-More than
100000 was spent by motor tourists
in cities and towns along the National
Parks highways this year, the greatest
touring year in the history of the
country, according to Fred A. Adams
field secretary OF the National Parks
Highway association.
Tourists from every state In the
union, with travel almost equally di-
vided between east and west bound
cars, have toured the 5000 miles Of
highway from Chicago to the Pacific
coast and from Puget Sound to Lake
Michigan he said.
Mr. Adams bases the value Of motor
travel on an estimate of 10000 cars
that occupants of each car spent at
least SIS a day while on the road, an6
that each of the 10000 cars was on
the highway a minimum of twenty
days.
Il consider the estimate a very con.
sentative one" he said This traffic
was interstate and does not take into
consideration the greatly increased
volume of interstate travel"
Although every city and town alonc
the highway has benefited greatly

YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG
The Three Amendments

On September 10th, the Three
Amendments which appear in
this issue of the Outlook and
continue for four weeks will
he up to the voters of New Mex
leo for their approval or disa-
proval. They should be care
fully read and well considered
before the election. The State
will, through newspaper publ
cation. give the voters of the
State every opportunity to read
and reflect before the election.
We believe the First will meet
with little, if any opposition, as
we are all Of one mind when it
comes to believing that a voter
when called to the colors should
have the right to vote even if
ABSENT from his home State.
The Second is to establish one
State Board to govern all insti-
tutions, instead of having Boards
many. This amendment may be
opposed by certain State Insti-
tutions, who are not DESTROYS of
being under one head, claiming
that such a ment
would work harm by the failure
on the part of the one Board
TO be able to judge in a merit
orious manner on the things nec-
essary in the different State In
situations.
The Third will, it is believed,
be opposed by those who are
not ready to give all power to
the Legislature To issue bonds
for road purposes, inasmuch as
the issue of bonds means the
levy of taxation on the people
and those who will oppose the
measure would rather have a d.
rect voice in the matter than to
entrust the same with implicit
confidence to the State Legisla-
ture. The State is, therefore.
presenting in its wisdom these
amendments to the voters,
giving them four weeks time to
make up their minds on these
matters of so much Importance.
There should be plenty of time
10 consider these things; the
State will give it by keeping the
matter constantly before the
voters eyes. Remember. the
election will be September 18th.

FIVE Million Dead From
Ella" In British Indie
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, April 24.-Almost five
million persons have died in British
India from Spanish influenza and fully
million others are believed to have
died in the native states from the
same cause, according to a report Of
the Indian government made public
here. The Area affected contained q
population of 23S,026,240, and the mum.
Der of deaths was 4,899,725 or 20.6
deaths per thousand. In a few months
it is observed influenza claimed half
as many victims as did the dreaded
plague in period of twenty years.
The influenza, which made it's ap-
pearance in India last autumn, was
particularly fatal in the central, north.
ern and western portions while IN
Burma, it was not so severe. No part
Of the Punjab escaped. The hospitals
were SO choked, 1t was impossible to
quickly remove the dead and make
room for the dying. Streets and lanes
of the city were Uttered with dead and
dying people and the postal and tele.
graph services were completely de-
moralized
The burning gnats and burial
erounGs we're literally swamped with
corpses while an even greater number
awaited removal from houses and hos.
pitfalls. The depleted medical service,
itself sorely stricken by the epidemic,
was incapable Of dealing with moro

INDIANA PLANS
DRIVE AGAINST
DISEASED STOCK
Farmers Advised to Write for
Agreement Blanks in Fight
on tuberculosis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April U.s.
The Indiana State Veterinary Depart
ment Is now working out plans in or
der to systematic the details Of the
organized night against tuberculosis in
live stock. cooperation with the fed
eral government, the live stock pro-
ducer, farmer and veterinarian" says
DR.. L. e. Northrup, state veterinarian,
explaining the provisions of the tuber-
culosis indemnity law by which all
cattle reacting to the test for this
disease are killed and paid for UP to
two-thirds OF the appraised value, as
provided by the state law.
The 1919 general assembly appro-
priated $4,000 with which to cooper
ate with federal funds to repay the
owner Of animals slaughtered because
they have reacted to the test. The
federal government pays one-third OF
the difference between the salvage
and appraised value OF the animal and
the state pays like amount. The fed
eral government may pay up to $25
for grade animals and UP to $50 for
purobreds. The state can pay up to
$40 for grade animals and up to $50
for purebreds, according to this new
law.
Effective In Few Weeks.
When this act becomes effective
within the next few weeks, Indiana
farmers will be asked to take advant-
age Of this cooperative law by enter
ing into an agreement with the federal
and state authorities, to permit their
herds to be examined and to be tu-
berculin tested at such times as are
necessary and to meet with all the
conditions prescribed by the bureau
of animal industry and the state veter-
mary department in the fight against
tuberculosis.
1T is necessary that so far as pos
sible tuberculosis be eliminated from
the cattle herds said Dr. Northrup,
"for that means aiding in the control
of this disease In the human family.
Under the provisions Of this law the
owner Of the animals reacting is paid
at least in part for his loss and he Is
thereby interested in getting rid of dis
eased animals and to maintain a tu-
berculosis-free herd.
Write for Blanks.
Indiana live stock breeders should
write for the agreement blanks. We
have them now ready for distribution.
1t Is the duty Of everybody connected
with the live stock industry to i'm.
prove the health and condition of cat
tie, and this Is one of the long needed
steps in the right direction"
The reacting animals are shipped
for slaughter to the nearest point
where federal inspection is main
tanned. The salvage Is taken from the
appraised value and one-third Of the
remainder paid by each cooperative
party. During the war period such
salvage has been very close to 800
per head on an average, some Of the
beef breed reactors reaching as high
as Sits.
