Farmer Relates
Story Of Trouble
Lost Steadily And Could Not Find Re-
lief---Every Sign Of Trouble Dis
appeared Since He Took
TanlaC

The remarkable experience of
Y. M. Hall, wealthy farmer living
just out of Adrain, Georgia is an
other striking evidence of the ex-
traordinary merits of Tanlac. In
speaking of his two years of suf-
fering and subsequent relief, Mr..
Hall said:
Il am proud to say that l have
gained fourteen pounds in two
weeks taking this Tanlac.
My trouble had been growing
worse instead of better all the
time" he continued. 1T was
almost impossible for me to lay
on my left side on account of the
terrible rheumatic palms.. / be-
gan to lose weight and had fallen
off until l only weighed one hum
dred and thirty eight pounds,
away below my average weight,
and could not find anything to
relieve my pain or build me up.
After | had suffered for more
than two years without get
ting any better, some one recon-
mended Tanlac to me and | start
ed taking it. AS / have said be-
fore, gained fourteen pounds
in weight and l haven't felt a
sign of the old rheumatic trouble
since. l have taken only four
bottles of Tanlac so rar, but from
the way | have improved already,
l am glad to recommend it to
everybody"
Tanlac is sold in Colfax by Dix
lie Pharmacy and by one regular
established agency in every
town.

PAY YOUR PLEDGE;
GET THE THRIFT HABIT

All pledges made to invest in Unit
ed States Government War Savings
Stamps during 1918 have been auto
matically extended to 1919 by the
Government, which has made official
announcement that persons who, for
any reason, did not complete their
pledges by December 81, 1918, may
and are expected to liquidate these
pledges by investing in War Savings
Stamps of the new 1919 issue.
The 1919 United States Govern
ment War Savings Stamps are blue
in color and trifle smaller than the
War Savings Stamps issued by the
Government last year They bear
likeness of Benjamin Franklin, the
American apostle of thrift and econ
omy. The 1919 War Savings Stamps,
which yield their owners four per
cent interest, compounded quarterly,
may be obtained from any postoffice.
bank. or other authorized agent. The
price of each 1919 War Savings
Stamp is $4.12 during January. The
cost price increases regularly one
cent each month, so that in February
the cost is Sab, in March $414 and
so on.
The same old Thrift Stamps and
Thrift Cards used last year remain
in use during 1919 and filled Thrift
Cards, that is, Thrift Cards on
which sixteen Thrift Stamps have
been affixed, may be exchanged for
1919 War Savings Stamps upon the
payment of the few additional cents
which represent the difference be-
tween the price of a War Savings
Stamp and 81, the value of the six.

Is IL cents in January, 13 cents In
February. IA cents in March. and
30 on.
Purchasers of 1919 War Savings
Stamps should bear in mind that 1918
War Savings Stamps are to be az

Mr.. Mantell, puts that warm friend Of

nearly 1000 in United States money,

Seldom have the people of Scotland
experienced such a shock as they did
on Wednesday morning a little after
eight O'Clock when it was announced
that c. A. DeSilva had suddenly pass

of the postofice. Tuesday evening.
with his wife, he attended a dance in
the Odd Fellows Hall, and was ap-
parently in toe best of health. They
went home about two o'clock in the
morning, and before retiring they pre-.
pared a lunch, and he ate quite hear
tily, and among other things eaten
was some cabbage. In the morning
a %neighbor called at the door, and he
got up to answer the call, and to all
appearances was then feeling well,
but as he had been broken of his rest
he returned to his bed. A few min.
utes later he appeared to be choking
and his wife ran for assistance, and
when she returned he had passed
away. DR.. Landman was called but
arrived too late to give any aid.
Coroner Berry was called from Tyn-
dali, but could only report that he
died from causes unknown. Mr.. De-
Silva was born in Iowa in November
1883, and was therefore in his 36th
year at the time of his death. He
came to Scotland several years ago to
take q position az pitcher in a local
ball team. and has made his home
here ever since. In 1916 he was ap-
pointed city marshal, serving faith
fully for two years. He was quite a
prominent athlete, and a man of I'M.
usual strength and vigor, and it is
possible that entertaining may have
weakened his heart, though it may
have been acute indigestion that caus-
ed his death. In September, 1917.
he enlisted in the officers training
school at Fit. Smelling. and apparently
was accepted OF physical examination,
but was released, with many others,
when the quota at the school was re-
duced. He leaves q wife and little
son about three years of age, also a
daughter IL and a son 9 years of age
by a former wife. and who are being
cared for by a lady in Ainsworth,
Neb., where his former wife was bur-
led. He was a member of the Odd
Fellows and the Modern Woodman
lodges, and carried insurance in the
latter Of $500. The remains will be
shipped on the early train tomorrou,
morning to SCOTS. Bluffs. Neb., the
former home of his wife, for burial.
