Big a ENGINEER
OUT With FACTS
Says Tanlac Soon Brought
Back His Old Time Health
And Energy-Feels
Fine Now.

One of the most noteworthy fea-
lures in connection with the intro
duction and sale of Tanlac thruout
America is the very large number of
railroad men who have been benefited
by it's use.
Prominent department officials,
conductors, engineers, office clerks
and, in fact, men representing prac-
tically every branch of the service,
have reported that they have used
Tanlac with the most surprising and
gratifying results.
One of the latest to testify is E. H.
Bowley, Eighth and Elborne Apart
ments, in Prince Hill, Cincinanti. Mr..
Bowley has been in the service of the
Big Four railroad as engineer for
forty years and has been on his pres
ent run-pulling passengers-be-
tween Cincinnati and Chicago for the
past twelve yeats He is also a
Commentary Mason and an active
member of the Knights of Pythias.
and is popular with all who know
him. Mr.. Bowley, in relating his ex-
perience with Tanlac, said:
81 never thought of letting my
name be used in connection with
but Tanlac has helped me
and l consider it we'll worth recon-
mending to anyone suffering from
stomach trouble and a rundown con-
dition.
For some time past my appetite
has been very poor and / have suf-
fered a great deal from indigestion.
l was in badly rundown condition
and had that tired feeling all the
time:
Well. what needed was just an
all round building up and Tanlac
has done that very thing. My APP
tite is so keen that / can hardly eat
enough to satisfy me and can eat
what / want without feeling a touch
of indigestion. no longer have that
tired, worn out feeling and am en-
joying my usual good health and en-
ergy, have found Tanlac unusually
fine and am glad to give it my hear
ty endorsement"
Tanlac is sold In Hartford by DR..
L. B. Bean; in Beaver Dam by r. T.
Taylor, Jr.; and in McHenry by S.

LODGE HAS PRAISE
FOR HARDING POLICY
Voices View That L. s. Can Be Made
Strong Force For Peace
Interests.

Boston, Nov. 20-With President
Wilson's League of Nations dead so
far as the United States is concerned,
by the verdict of the great tribunal of
his people, it is for the administration
of President Harding and his sup
porters in the House and Senate to
bring about some arrangement with
other nations for the promotion of the
worlds peace without mourning dan
gers to our independence and our con-
system of government, said
Senator Lodge in speech before the
Roosevelt Club here tonight.
1.-The responsibility is very great, "
he continued, but we do not shrink
from it,"
He said the American people, while
as earnest in advancing the cause of
peace as any in the world, had shown
by their votes that they could best
serve the cause by remaining masters
of their own fate.
Senator Lodge, who is chairman of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations, prefaced his remarks on the
league by saying that he was speaking
merely as a Republican basing his
opinions entirely on the declarations
of the party and the policies $50 well
and clearly outlined by the party's
candidate Senator Harding in "his
speeches"
THE Republican party in its plat
,orm," he continued, declared its
policy to be the establishment of an
arrangement or agreement with for
sign powers for the promotion of the
worlds peace. They condemned the
covenant OF the league brought from
Paris by Mr.. Wilson and approved the
lotion of the Senate in opposing it.
dr. Cox declared that he was ready
o go into the league formed by Mr.,
wilson and submitted by him TO the
Senate. Senator Harding declared
hat he was opposed to going into
hat league. His issue was as plain
IS any issue could be and the people
lie by a majority in the neighbor-
Iood of seven millions, approved the
ttitude and the action of Mr.. Hard !
ng and of the Republican party"

first stage in Mr.. Harding's vacation
trip will be reached.
Except for the light rain and mod
crate wind which practically always
is expected in the neighborhood of the
Yucatan Channel fair weather favor
ed the distinguished passenger and he
spent most of the day on deck walk
ing, reading and playing ship games.
Mrs. Harding remained in her
stateroom during today on advice of
her physician. 1t was explained she
was not i'll, and that her appetite
continued good, she was just in need
of rest after the excitement OF the
campaign, the trying Texas expert
ences and the almost overwhelming
welcome accorded the party in New
Orleans.
The Parismina left the Gulf of
Mexico. and went into the green
waters of the Yucatan Channl with
its cross-currnts, choppy winds and
occasional rains. about noon today,
passing close to the western tip of
Cuba. In the afternoon real tropi-
cal heat was encountered and most
of those aboard changed TO duck and
linen apparel.

delegates and attaches have earned
everybody's respect. Theif chief is
Wellington hoo, many years Chine
minister at Washington and man of

Honor To HOO Elates Chinese.
Koo's election as vice chairman Of
Committee Number One of the AS
sembly, which is to deal with many
highly important matters, was a
great compliment to him and to the
Chinese people.
1t is significant that no Japanese
was elected either chairman or vice
chairman OF one of the six commit
tees. Each u the other three of tho
four great powers and three Of the
small powers got craftsmanship.
Count lsh'i, a japanese got one
vote for chairman of one of the ccm-
mittees. " zen the Chinese newspa-
per men heard of Koo's eleotion and
Ishii's oae vote they were wild with
Joy. Thev declared that Ishil voted
for himself and that when they ca
bled this to China the whole nation

League Assembly Warned.
Geneva, NOV. SO-A.tho the United
States is not represented by dele
gate in the assembly of the League of
Nations, there is hardly a session in
which the United States is not refer
red to in some manner. The United
States today had volunteer spokes-
man on the speakers stand in Newton
w. Rowell, of the Canadian delega-
ton, who warned the assembly
against any policy involving inter-
ference in the internal affairs of any
country.
Canada" said Mr.. Rowell, Twill
never consent to any such interior
ence. You can not expect the great
country to the south of Canada to be-
come a party to the league if there
Is any pretension that the league can
in it's internal affairs" Mr..
Rowell was replying to a remark by
senator La Fontaine, of Belgium, that
no country should have the right to
nonopolize the raw materials it pro-
luces.

Constantine has cabled to the gov
eminent that he will await .he result
of the plebiscite before returning to
Greece.
Popular Fervor Dying
Athens, Nov. 20.-Enthusiasm ov-
err the prospective return of former
King Constantine seemed to be dying
down in Athens today, altho the topic
of the dynasty is virtually the only
one on the tongues of the people and
dealt with by the press. The capital
this evening presented gloomy pic
ture. Rain was falling and the ST.
lence of the street crowds seemed to
indicate a SOLDERING down of the popu-
lar fervor with the propagandists for
Constantine unable, temporarily at
least, to revive the fires of enthu-
siasm.
Meanwhile, news is being awaited
as to the attitude of the French and
British governments and also as to
the reports that the ex-ruler will at
tempt to reach Greece and present to
the allies the accomplished fact of his
This morning French Minister NJ.

mier sharply that it was a mistake to
believe the allies would permit the
return of the former king.
The results of the election have not
yet been officially announced. 1t is
predicted in some political quarters
that any chance for VeniZelist ma
jority will be nullified by decision
not to count the votes cast in Thrace
and also those of the army.
