U-BOAT PRISONER
TELLS EXPERIENCE
Officer OF Ill-Fated II. S. S. Nep-
tune, Gives Story OF Remark
able Adventure And
Recovery.

Richard Canno, Chief Petty Of
ficer of the U.S.S. Neptune, whose
dramatic capture at sea by Ger
man U-Boat and subsequent ex-
|perIences aboard the submarine
and in German prison hospital
thrilled the entire country, is still
another world war hero to test
the remarkable reconstructive
powers of Tanlac and give it his
endorsement. Mr.. Cannon's adven-
lures were so narrowing that his
constitution was completely shat
tered but after months of suffer-
ing he has now regained the won
derful health that enabled him to
pull through his adventures alive
and is to-day the same strapping
two hundred pound fighter that
embarked on the ill-fated collier.
But let him tell his own story:
When the Neptune was torpe-
doed off the Irish coast said Mr..
Cannon, who now lives at Tor E.
Lafayette, Tampa, Fla, Z had
my right leg and five ribs broken
by the explosion, and when / came
to my senses / found myself on
board submarine bound for Ger
many. / was kept in German
prison hospital for five months,
and you can imagine what / must
have suffered when | tell you that
| fell off in weight from two hum
|dred and twenty-five TO hundred
and thirty-one pounds. When Twas
repatriated and finally got my dis
charge in February, 1919, / was
little better than living skeleton
| had no appetite and my digestive
system was so upset that what lit
tie did eat always gave ms severe
pains In the pit Of my stomach.
Before / joined the service | never
knew what nerves were, but after
what / went through my nerves
were so shattered that ] couldn't
keep still minute, and the slight
est thing upset me. For six mon
tbs / continued in this condition,
unable to pick up strength, and
SO weak that any attempt at work
tired me out completely. / began
to think that / should never be
we'll and strong man again.
But the way Tanlac overcame
my troubles and built me up was
nothing short of marvellous. 1t
gave me such on appetite that !
wanted to eat all the while, and |
sure did make up for lost time. l
had no more bother with indiges-
ton and from then on / picked
up strength and put on weight
until now | tip the beam at two
hundred four pounds and am as
we'll and strong as ] ever was be-
fore / joined the service. My
nerves are as steady as die and
I'm like my old self again. Tanlac
is certainly grand medicine and
i think every suffering person
ought to try it.

Conditions in the Richmond federai

seen in the latest monthly business
review of the Federal Reserve Board.
Reports indicate improving con-
ditions in labor fields and tranSporta-

forts of banks to restrict loans to

ness of new business and continued
work in factories on accumulated
in the textile field as well as in some
others"
On Road Toward Stability.
Summed up. the boards findings
were that business conditions now
are definitely on the road toward
stability of as great and confirmed
n nature as the disturbed position OF
the world at large permits.
Continuance of the process of re-
adjustment in business and industry
has been an outstanding feature of
the last month" the review said.
"This has been accompanied by price
reduction and by the resumption OF
work in branches of industry where
hesitation as to future outlook has
led to suspension.
Price Reduction Renewed.
after an apparent slowing down
in the price reduction movement dur
ing midsummer, it has again reap
peared and the month of September
saw substantial cuts. Reductions
have occurred in a variety of staples,
including wheat. Changes in prices
have tended to make business men
and bankers cautious about future
commitments"
Drops in prices have featured al
most all of textile lines, agents of
the various reserve banks reported,
and they added that, due to reductions
already announced by wholesalers and
jobbers, the retailers are buying care
fully and not in large quantities.
Similar influences were shown to
be bearing on the shoe and leather
industry. Retailers are postponing
buying or are buying only Tor cur
rent requirements.
Hopeful Housing Conditions.
While housing conditions were rep
resented as being acute in all COM
munities, the boards figures held out
hope for an early renewal of con-
struction. Material prices show the
effect of price cutting in other com
modities and certainly have passed
the peak" the review said.
Chicago and environs have been
most favored with respect to price
reduction in building materials and
construction. where, according to the
boards reports, prices fell between
Is and 25 per cent during the last
thirty days.
