HEROES OF go GIVE
PUBLIC THE FACTS,
Want Everyone to Know How Much
Good TanIac Has Done at Old
Soldiers Homo.

SO many of the old Vets out at the
soldiers Home in Leavenworth have
been benefited by Tanlac lately that
they decided the fact ought to be
made public.
The call for volunteers to report
the matter was quickly answered by
! j. +. Johnson and G. II. Ostrander,
each seventy-four years OF age, and
| David NJ. Cain, who is now in his
cightieth year.
Their statements. which were re-
| celved at the Tanlac offices a few
| days ago. all seem to have been
! signed with steady hand and tell in
no uncertain terms of the remarkable
| results these old heroes of the six
Ics" have obtained from the Master
! Medicine.
David M. Cain, Corporal Of Com
pany IL" Ward 1. the older of the
trio, says: Il have lived a long time
and have had lots Of experience with
medicines. but I have never come
| across the equal Of Tanlac. 1t has not
only rid me Of a case Of nervous in
digestion Of eight years standing. but
l have actually gained sixteen
pounds in weight by takig it. Before
taking Tanlac I had no appetite and
what little 1 did eat would sour on
my stomach and ! would swell I'D
with gas until I could hardly breathe.
My heart would palpitate at a ter
rible rate and I also had raging
headaches, and often got so dizzy I
could scarcely stand on my feet.
had pains all thru my body and
was so weak it was difficult for me
to get around at all.
But Tanlac has done away with
all my miserable feelings and put me
in better shape than 7 have been for
eight or ten years. I can eat Just
anything I want and my appetite Is
a caution. And sleep, why. Just
sleep like a log every night, feel
good and strong. and have more en-
ergy than 1 have had in years.
have recommended Tanlac to many
Of my comrades, who have also TAX
en- it with fine results. It certainly is
the right medicine for old folks"
"At the time / began taking Tan
lac" said J. f. Johnson, II couldn't
eat or sleep to do much good and
just felt miserable all the time.
suffered from indigestion, dizziness.
pains in my back, and about all my
strength had left me. I had just
about come to the conclusion that
would never we well again, but am
now in better physical shape than
have been for a long time. In fact,
| don't think I ever felt much bet
ter, even when l was a young man,
than + do since taking Tanlac."
c. II. Ostrander says: "I believe
7 had about all the miserable feel
ngs anybody with indigestion can
have, and I was SO weak and ner-
vous I could hardly drag around. I
had been battling with this condi-
ton for three years and was ready
to give up the fight. But by the help
of Tanlac | am now feeling fine.
I'd like to tell all the soldiers
everywhere how Tanlac is helping us
here in Leavenworth.
Tanlac is sold In MarshaIltown by
the Old Reliable Drug Company and
by all the leading druggists in other
towns.

honors bestowed only by this news
agency"
An earlier instance was in January
last when the agency sent out
story of an unprecedented cere-
mony." the time Of which was left
indefinite, when General Pershing's
helmet and staff flag and also the
imperial battle pennon of the German
emperor" were bestowed upon the
Agora Society. The story said a
touching, eloquent and impressive
address was made on behalf Of the
college by girl whose name was
different in each case.
AS a matter of fact. the publicity
department says:
About the only facts were the
names and addresses gained from
the college directory, tho it was true
as published in an Associated Press
dispatch last October. that General
Pershing's helmet and flag are in the
possession Of an organization at
Wellesley"
The department says that 1t has
been learned that similar stories
have been sent out by the agency
concerning Smith College students
and adds:
"A regular set Of rules seems to
have been established by the agency.
In the first place, the story must not
be true, and must at the same time
not be actionable: should, in fact, be
supposedly flattering. 1t should have
some timely note. In using the coz
lege directory the agency takes only
one name to a town and even to a
city"
The college has sent denials Of the
stories to as many as possible of the
papers which printed them. It has
also sent an explanation Of the cir
cumstances to each Of tho Victims"
with the suggestion that they turn
it over to their home papers for
their Information.

Of her views, but with a curt little

a great deal Of examination.

Woods case Is one Of the most In

paid the Boston Red Sox $4,000 for
Wood When he reported to Cleve

star to stick around and do the best

In July. 1917. when Wood was un-
able to show even the slightest class

Dunn he didn't have the nerve to
stick around drawing money when he
could do the Cleveland club no good.
But In 1918 Wood returned to
Cleveland. He went south with the

Publicity.
By Associated Press.
Wellesley. Mass, June 16.-Welles-
ley College authorities, are trying to
head off the activities Of an ingen-
ious news peddler who, making his
headquarters in Boston, has sent to
newspapers all over the country
complimentary but, the college
officials say, untrie stories con-
corning young women in the
student body and members of the
faculty. His method is to query q
newspaper as to whether it wishes a
story Of which the student or faculty
member living in the city or town
where the paper is published, is the
central figure. The identical query
is sent to anywhere from so to 100
papers, it is alleged, with a different
name In each case for the heroine of
the story, These names are taken
from the college catalog,
Regarding one Of these stories the
college publicity department says;

Of the Giants and his associates have
started in on the annual mid-sum-

owners-that Of buying or trading

Witness the recent deal whereby
the Giants obtained Dave Bancroft
from the Phillies in exchange for
Art Fletcher. A row between Ban
croft and Manager Cravath Of the
Quaker City outfit probably prompt
ed the trade.
Bancroft is six years younger than
Arthur, speedy and full Of pep. At
short he ought to strengthen the de-

offensive work there is a popularity.
Dave Is Il hitter of above the average

MY conjecture is that she came
either to confront harrington with
evidence of his completely. which is
unlikely. or else to secure confirma =
ton of the story of her lover told in
his last letter"
But why shouldn't Harrington dis
appear in an ordinary way-or why
need he disappear at all?" asked Sir
George. He had plenty Of credit in
the city. He had the handling of his
nieces fortune. He could have
blocked out your suspicion; he is not
the kind of man to be scared of q
little thing like that"
THAT is where l ann at sea-" said
r. Il. IL must confess his disappear
ance is not consistent with his known
character. He certainly had the for
tune of the girl, and l have no doubt
in my mind that he has a very genu-
inc affection for his niece. Her in
heritance, by the way, falls due next
month; I do not suppose that had
anything to do with it. II he had
robbed her of 1t, or he had dissipated
this money which was left in his care,
one could have understood 1t, but the
fact that he is dead will not restore
the fortune if it is gone"
What are you DOING" asked the
chief.

clever man to escape"
And Poltavo?"

circumvent: he is obviously acting

He nodded.
Mr.. Doughton shows an innate DELI

Again that little sense of resent

uncalled for. That he should ap-

impertinence.

Supporting this demand they
observe that if the former emperor
had remained in Germany the
German government would, under
the terms of 22S of the treaty of
peace, have been obliged to deliver
him.

Holland would not fulfil her inter-
national duty if she refused TO as
