Attachment.

On the opening day Of the duck sea-
son at Baldwin Lake, CAL, last fall, .
. strange craft was sighted in the ell
grass Of the shooting grounds. Its
occupant was known to have ridden
4 motorcycle in more than $50 miles
of mountain and desert road, and then
to have been so unfortunate as to find
all the boats gone. When he came in
that night with his limit Of birds, it
was seen that he had made q queer
but efheent duck boat out Of his
motorcycle side car.
Wood plugs closed the bolt holes
where 1t was removed from the frame,
and a can Of pitch, judiciously applied,
sealed all possible leaks. Rock ballast
Of some sixty pounds steadied the
somewhat cranky craft, and its in
conspicuousness aided the ingenious
sportsman in securing an unusual bag
Of birds. So well pleased was he with
the adventure that now he contem-

SUFFERED SINCE
HE WAS A CHILD
Was Unable to Work When He
Began Taking Tanlac-
Well and Strong, Now

II had taken but few doses of
Tanlac when I knew / had at last
, found the medicine I had been look
ing for" said Joe. Kroiss, an en-
ployee of Swift & Cos. St. Paul
Plant, who resides at 466 Van Buren,
Street, St. Paul, Minn., recently.
Continuing he said:
| II have suffered more or less with
stomach trouble since childhood, and
for the past twelve years there hasn't
been a month that haven't lost from
two days to two weeks from work on
account of it. My trouble would
come to me by spells-one day feel
ing fine and able to eat anything I
wanted without any apparent bad
: affects and the next day would be
down in bed and unable to retain a
thing, not even a glass Of water, on
my stomach and would stay in that
condition for two or three days or
maybe weeks before could get
enough strenth to be up and about
again. would suffer with terrible
headaches that would nearly drive
me wild, and I would break out all
over with perspiration followed by
sever chill and fever. also had
been suffering with pains across the
small of my back for the past few
months, that were so bad I could
hardly stoop over. I was in a terri
bic weak and rundown condition all
the time, and although I tried to
work when I could get about at all,
was hardly able to work at any
time. No one seemed to understand
my case and it was puzzle to every
body.
my wife had a lady friend who
had been greatly benefited by Tan
lac and she suggested I give it a
trial, so I got a bottle and began
taking it, and before I had finished
this bottle the pain in the small of
, my back had entirely left me, and in
two days l was back at work and !
haven't lost day since. Up to this
time l have only taken four bottles,
but l have splendid appetite and
can eat anything want without hav-
ing a particle of trouble with nv
stomach: am regaining my strength
and feel full of energy ali the time
and can do hard days work without
its firing me more than natural. /
have never been able to sleep like
l DO now since was child, and it
takes the alarm clock to wake me up.
! will praise Tanlac as long as I live
for the good it has done me-"

LONDON, December 27.-Lord North
cliffe arraigns the governments coal
policy today both in the Times and
the Daily Mail as inimical to friendly
Anglo-French relations.
France" he remarks, "is in the
throes of a coal famine. We are suf-
fering from only deficiency. France
had a cold Christmas; we had COM
paratively warm one. French con-
sumerS pay.
"Capital Blunder."
"Sir Auckland Geddes has announced
that we get our coal cheap because
foreign buyers of British coal pay
dearly for it. Here we have capital
blunder in the sphere of statesman
ship. We should relieve our great
ally to the limit of our ability in the
shortest possible time and should
leave her not a vestige of reason for
accusing us of profiteering."
This utterance by the foremost
English journalist illustrates his
deep-seated conviction that nations
difficulties and needs If the world is
to have permanent peace. Lord
NorthcIiffe does not believe that any
great nation henceforth can follow
its own selfish line aggressively
without in the end preeipitating war.
He has an acute sense of the re-
spons bility of the worlds newspa-
ners for the worlds peace. He bars
from his papers, for example, not
only slurs upon America, but news
that would tend to create anti-Amer-
lean feeling in the British empire.
To Build Up Good Will.
Lord Northcliffe conceives It to be
his duty as the controller of the most
powerful journalistic engine ever
constructed to use this engine to
destroy i'll will and build up gooo

PRINCE FAR FROM BLAST.
False Rumor of Death Of Serbia's
Regent Published.

PARIS, December 31.-Prince Re-
gent Alexander of Serbia. who was
reported in a Berlin dispatch to have
been killed by an explosion, is IN
Paris and well. The whole story OF
his death, therefore, is without
foundation.
Prince Regent Alexander has to all
intents and purposes been king OF
the kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes since the retirement from
active life of his father, King Peter
of Serbia. He was appointed prince
regent of the Jugoslav state in No
vember, 1918, and represented Serbia
at the peace conference.
A plot to assassinate Prince Alex
ander was discovered at Agram In
June, and the plotters were arrested

This is double reduction.
= Our. first decision to reduce prices at this
time was based on the season Of the year. We
knew that later we would have to pay more than
$3.50 ourselves-but it's reduction season,
and while we can, we offer a saving.
Then when we had decided upon the reduc-
ton, we knew that volume of selling would
be increased to point where it would be no
greater loss to have a price even lower than
that upon which we had first decided. So
down it went to $3.50!
But at $3.50 we're going to have to sell
a lot of overcoats to "come out"
We're selling them. Be in early for good
selection. The period of this event is limited

The refusal OF the bolshevk govern
