HE HAD SUFFERED
SINCE CHILDHOOD
Jane. Brodeck Says Tanlac Has
Relieved Him. Of Lifelong
Trouble-Feels Fine

"Tanlac has benefited me so won
derfully that 1 feel it my duty to tell
other sufferers about this medicine"
said James Brodeck, an employee of
the Twin City Rapid Transit Comp
any, living at 1921 2'nd Avenue &c.,
Minneapolis, MINI.
"Ever since 1 was boy had been
suffering from bad case of stomach
trouble; and often no matter what I
ate it would entirely upset me. Gas
formed on my stomach, and cramps
came on that would fairly double me
up with pain, l had to be continually
taking a laxative for constipation, and
I had such spells of dizziness that at
times everything just seemed to fade
away before my eyes. Sleep was al
most impossible and was simply mis-
cradle.
"My roommate, who was in SINH
lar condition, was getting such -splen-
did results from Tanlac that I was
induced to try the medicine myself.
The first few doses seemed to soothe
nv stomach, and by the time finished
the first bottles my appetite had pick;
ed up SO much / was eating like a
trooper. I have taken four bottles
now and am entirely free from con.
situation and dizziness. haven't
had sign of cramp since first
started on the medicine and I've gain.
ed seven pounds in weight. At night
sleep like a top and am feeling just
fine. Since Tanlac has fixed me ul
SO thoroughly, I'm sure it'll do the
same for others and / only. hope they
will give It q fair trial. !" 5s .s5.s.

H. S. INSTRUCTORS
VISIT COUNTY SCHOOLS
Supt. Brohaugh Makes Plea For
Better Cooperation With Co.
. Superintendent

On Wednesday and Thursday of last
week Miss Emma Krefting, the Nor
NAL Training instructor, and Supt.
Brohaugh spent some time visiting
rural schools taught by former grad
yates of the Wfllmar Normal Dept.
The visits proved very interesting
and they hope to be of some service
to the teachers. Miss Krefting invi-
ted in as many rural teachers for
Saturday conference as wished to
come. Many of our county school
teachers are working under difficult
handicaps and in spite of them they
are doing good work. Most of them
would profit greatly if they could be
under closer supervision. In sKandi-
yohi County the superintendent is
entirely alone with the work and does
not even have full time office as
sistant He cannot possibly visit the
schools more than two times year
and take proper care of the immense
amount of Office work that falls to his
lot He should have at least two
assistants who could go out into the
country to work with the teachers
and help bring the rural schools up
to the proper standard. Country
School Boards could help their schools
great deal also if they would visit
them occasionally and help keep the
buildings and physical equipment in
shape In many schools we found
broken windows, loose desks, few
coat hooks, no drinking water, unsan-
itary out buildings and other condi
tions OF like nature that can easily
be remedied If the school authorities
Will do their part. Thus they will
make it happier and more comfort

in buying a New Edison now, you

out the first newspaper report of the

He was a man very much interested

which. after four years of the Civil

school In which he was particularly
interested, which was conducted In an
old church.
AS he walked to this school one
morning he went past a place that
had been famous as a race course,
but was now used as q cemetery for
the soldiers who had died In battle.
He looked over the fence of the GENE
terry, and IL made his heart sad TO see
the way the graves of the brave men
we're neglected. He wished that some
thing might be done for them.
When he reached the school he ad-
dressed the children, telling them that

Washington. Progress in the hand
ling of the freight jam was reported
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, which announced that the move
ment of freight cars for grain loading
had begun in large volumes westward
from New England and the Atlantic
seaboard.
These cars are being moved in solid
trains under expedited orders, and
their transfer is watched continually
to avoid preventable delays, the COM
mission said
simultaneously, a counter move
ment of cars for coal loading has been
instituted from the middle west TO the
coal producing areas of the east.
The commission announced that this
order OF handling equipment would be
continued until a more proper bal
ance OF these classes of equipment is
obtained" and predicted considerable
relief both by providing foodstuffs and
fuel where needed and by easing the
financial strain resulting from the long
continued tie-up.
Consideration of the Cummins
amendment to the transport act de
signed to help the car shortage situa-
ton, began before the senate inter
state commerce committee. A favor
able conclusion Is understood to have
been reached on the proposal to ex-
tend from five TO Is years the period
of repayment of loans made by the
government for improvements, but
final action on other provisions in the
amendment was postponed. A sub
committee, composed of Senators Kel.
logg, Minnesota, Townsend. Michigan
and Underwood, Alabama, was APP
pointed to confer with house members
as to need of an amendment additional
for the relief of carriers.
Should the provision to extend the
repayment period be enacted, Walker
ID. Hines, former railroad administra-
tor, told the committee in letter TO
Senator Kellogg, an additional appro-
priation Of about $350,000,000 would
be needed to enable the railroad ad-
ministration to liquidate pending
claims.
Some members of the committee,
it was said, took exception to this
estimate as excessive The sub-com-
mittee was named in order to deter
mine whether such an appropriation
could be put through congress at this
time, pending final action on the
amendment.
The federal reserve board met with
its advisory council and reserve bank
officials to discuss the freight block
ade. Primarily, the conference OF
