For the last year I had suffered

at night. my sleep being disturbed by
the pressure and Inflammation in

wort Tablets I noticed almost instant
relief and continuing to use them I
am now totally well and relieved of
all pain and distress from which I
suffered. I am glad to recommend
Balmwort Tablets as a reliable bene-
ficial medicine and trust others may
find relief and freedom from pain and
distress as I did, etc.

81 have been trying for twenty
long years to find a medicine that
would overcome my troubles, but my
efforts failed me completely until L

remarkable statement made recently
bv Mrs. Alice McCluskey, residing at

world to meet everyone who suffers
as l did and tell them about this
medicine II I could only have got
ten Tanlac twenty years ago it would
have saved me lot OF suffering and
money.
MY principal trouble was indiges-
ton, and for many years l could not
cat meat or pastries for l would al
ways suffer afterward. l would most
always maze a distressed feeling after
eating and nothing seemed to agree
with me. Then. to add to the rest Of
my suffering, l contracted rheuma-
tism in my shoulders and hips and the
awful pains I suffered can never be
told in words This trouble finally
got so bad I could hardly walk and
my arms panied me SO I could scarcely
raise my hands to my head. even
had to give up my homework and
was hardly able to get around at all.
You can imagine how happy l was
when. after taking only a few bottles
of TanluC, I found such 4 wonderful
Improvement in my condition. Why.
il was just the medicine l needed all
the time and l continued taking it
until now ! am perfectly we'll again.

LACK OF PIG IRON
Kansas Towns Plan Extensive
Improvements for 1920.
Scarcity of Basic Material Hin

SPEND NEARLY FOUR MILLIONS
Forced Into Unequal COMPETE
ton With OH Fields.
Need for Steel and Iron Pipe
Cannot Be Supplied.
SPEND NEARLY FOUR MILLIONS

Lawrence, March Some three or
four millions of dollars are being spent
on public Improvement by the cities OF
Kansas at the beginning of the year
1920, according to a report compiled
by the municipal reference bureau of
the University of Kansas. The chief
barrier to even more extensive inn
provement work in Kansas citiesis the
high price of pig iron. Cities in the
market for steel and iron pipe for
water and sewer systems have been
forced into somewhat unequal com
petition with the rapidly expanding oil
industry Of the southwest.
Electric light and power plant i'm
provements are receiving most atten-
ton from Kansas cities. Alden has
voted $4,000 for the Improvement
considering the expenditure of an
equal amount for the same purpose.
Five cities have called elections or are
considering calling Of elections to vote
on bond issues of 81, 400 to $4,000
for lighting systems. Coats, Louis
burg and Sawyer plan to install new
plants. Paola is considering the pur-
chase of its private plant, and Haven
is considering the erection Of trans
mission line to obtain current for 2 &
hour service. Eight cities have voted
bonds Of $4,000 to $40, 600 for the con-
struction of new light and power
plants They are Barnard. Geneseo.
Hunter, Lamar. Meriden. Mt. Hope,
Oswego and Tribune. The private
electric plants at Herndon, Hiawatha,
and Hutchinson are planning impor
tant extensions. In Hutchinson. the
extensions include the erection of two
large transmission lines to smaller
neighbOring towns at cost of about
100000.
Many Improvements Planned.
Wsterworks plant extensions are be-
ing cnnsidered in Arna and Ellorado.

OLD 4. c. |. IN ORIENT.

China is a backward nation, so its
working classes" DO not strike. But.
being human, they get uneasy over
the thing which dlsturbs US greatly,
namely, the high cost of living. Chi
nese coolies, as we suppose, live chief
ly on rice The list of their price in
creases Is brief, but it is sufficient.
The dreadful tale is soon told that
whereas the price of rice in 1913 was
$3.50 Mexican per picul (about 1873 13
pounds), now 1t is $500 per picul.
And whereas at the former date
Mexican dollar was worth about half
gold dollar, today the two are near
ly at a parity. And if that is not
bad enough, one may search back in
the market quotations and find that in
1919 rice sold in Shanghai for 81 Mex
lean per picul. Whether we consider
rice at % cents a pound or at
little less than cents, or at the 112
cents 1t was two hundred years
ago. the figure. compared with
what we pay, seems a ridiculous one
over which to be alarmed, says Hart
ford Courant. But other things than
the absolute price have to be consid-
cred. In Japan, where wage rates
rule higher than in China. a coolie
gets 80 cents day. The highest paid
tailors get $1,25 day and bricklay
ers $t121a, The average for labor
there is 81 cents day.

If you should ask the hurrying city
throngs to tell you their ultimate aim
in life, the majority would probably
say they are seeking success, Success
means different things to different
people and fortunate indeed is the man
to whom it means the right thing.
Though Webster does not give this
definition, success is happiness
To some people success means power
over men. Managerial power perhaps.
or political power. Toothers it means
power In the money market; to others
the ability to portray the beauties of
nature; to others the ability 10 sway
vast audience by the wonderful tones
Of human voice; to stil others the
ability to make home aud keep it.
Fortunate is the man W hose idea of
success and whose happiness coincide.
When he started out on this road he
may OF thought that success and hap
piness awaited him at the end. He
may reach tins end. He may be what
the world calls success But unless
this success brings him happiness he
knows In his own heart that he is not
q successful mao What does it profit
him than the whole world may envy
him If his so-called success has not
brought him happinessY
What these hurrying throngs are
seeking is happiness but they fool
themselves into thinking that success
and happiness are two different Kings
They start out to find success thinking
that later they Will find happiness.
They give the best years of their life
oreach this mirage and " hen ii is 100
late they discover hat neither success
or happiness are theirs,

Don't "kid" yourself. 1t is fatal
habit. Face the facts, squarely and
don't lie to yourself about them.
Don't try to make yourself believe
something which you know isn't
true. If you are down and out the
sooner you face the fact, turn around
and get started in the right direction,
the sooner you will be up and coming.
