KANSAS MERCHANT
Says He Feels Like New Man
Now.
''Tanlac Is a Great Medicine,
He Declares.

August Truquit, grocery merchant
at Mulberry, Kan, called at the Owl
drug store, in Kansas City, Mo-, few
days ago, and had this to say about
Tanlac.
There is bound to be something
unusual about Tanlac to do what. it
has for me. Why, since / started
taking it about thirty days ago, l have
gotten rid of case of stomach atrou-
BILE and nervous indigestion that
made life miserable for me for the
past five years. I used to be a miner,
and am in the grocery business today
because l got SO badly rundown and
weak l could no longer work in the
mines. My appetite went back on
me and my stomach got in such bad
fix / could not eat anything but what
it would sour and bloat me up until
could hardly get my breath. My
back hurt me so bad it was agony for
me to stoop over. l was seldom free
from headache and often got so dizzy
l had to hold to something to keep
from falling l was constipated all the
time and was constantly taking some
thing for this as well as for my other
troubles, but kept getting worse until
l just had to give up and stop trying
to do any sort of heavy work at all.
We'll, from what 1 had heard about
Tanlac 1 thought it must be good, but
had no idea it was so fine until 1 had
tried it myself. I had taken but a few
doses when 1 began to straighten
right up ! am well man now, and
1 mean to say by that / haven't an
ache or pain of any kind. My appe-
tite was never better. and although 1
eat just anything 1 want 1 never have
sign of indigestion afterward. 1 am
on the go from early morning till late
at night at my store, andNI am feeling
so strong and well that If it was neces-
sary 1 believe I could go back in the
mines and do as much work as L ever
could. Tanlac is a great medicine,
there's no getting around that fact"

WOULD PRoMoTE F. M. WATKINS
Montgomery County Would Put Him
in Senate to Succeed Wark.

Montgomery county is planning to
send f. NJ. Watkins of Cherryvale to
the state senate to succeed Senator
George W. Wark, who this week be-
came member of Governor Aliens
new court of industrial relations.
Watkins's two terms in the house have
qualified him for promotion, his
friends believe, and he is to be asked
to make use of his legislative training
in the house by looking after his dis
trict's interests in the senate.
Not in a. number of years has Mont
gomery county sent man to the house
who gave more thought and time to
the interests of his county than did
Watkins during the 1917-19 sessions.
He displayed the wisdom of old legis-
lators by refusing to tinker with the
grasshopper, hedge fence and ceme-
terry bills of the members from the
short grass counties. But when bills
affecting his own county came on the
calendar. Watkins based his vote on
the interests of Montgomery county
and voted accordingly.
Watkins was new to Kansas politics
and to legislative circles when he
came to Topeka in 1917. In four
years, tho, he has developed a state
wide acquaintance and has made a
record of consistent work and voting.
The fact that Senator Wark was from
the southern section of the district,
seems to make selection of Watkins
more certain. The house member
comes from the northern district Had
Senator Wark not been appointed to a
place on the labor court and desired
a second term, he would have been re-
elected without opposition in his party.
The present legislative dope, tho, puts
Watkins in line for the senate job.

Uniformity

{By 8. ID. Flora, L. S. Meteorologist)
The month just passed had more
clear days than twenty-seven OF the
previous thirty-one Januarys of which
a record has been kept locally. and
averaged degrees above normal. ac-
cording to the detailed summary OF
the weather bureau. There was re-
markab1e uniformity about the
weather. Temperatures were freezing
or lower every night, yet there were
no cold waves and for the first time in
six years the month passed with no
zero weather. The highest tempera-
ture recorded was 81 degrees on the
29th, which is not an unusual extreme
for this time of the year, and the
lowest 9 degrees on the 25th. Only
two other Januarys on record have
passed without a lower temperature
than this.
The total precipitation, 0.24 inch,
was only third of the normal amount.
but there was plenty of moisture in
the ground. The months snowfall
totaled OF inch and lay on the
ground but a few days. The move
ment of the wind was about normal,
with no especially windy days, such as
often occur this time of the year. The
highest velocity reported was thirty
SIX miles an hour from the north on
the Goth.
1t was a fine winter month for out
door work of almost every kind.
Wheat just about held its own. 1t was
bare most of the month, but reports
indicate it was not seriously damage
on that account and that, while it ha l
a brown color. it still retained its
vitality with no noticeable damage

crease in livestock, partly in valuation
and partly in numbers, Kansas ranked
fifth among the states of the Union
in 1919 crop production with the
greatest crop ever produced in the
state, according to the annual report
of Edward c. Paxton of the United

1918. The valuation of all livestock
deprecated from $399.z19,000 in
January. 1919, to s336.01S.000 in
January, 1920. Stock cattle have de-
creased 10 per cent in numbers dur
ing the past year; milk cows have
decreased per cent; swine have de-
creased 80 per cent in numbers and
it is only the third time that figures
so low have been reached in the last
forty years. Horses and mules show
about the same numbers as a year
ago. Sheep alone appear to have in
creased and for the first time the
500. 900 mark has been reached.

Washington, Feb. g. Attitude of

forth by him, probably in letter to
the treasury department.
Carter Glass, retiring secretary of
the treasury, recently wrote Ferguson
expressing opposition to the interna-

business men which the chamber and
the treasury had been asked to ar
range.

predicted. will agree with this and de-
cline to have anything to do with the

ence was put forward by a meeting of
bankers and business men in New
York, after financiers of foreign coun-
tries had started the movement and
ndu asked their governments 10 issue
calls for the international congress.
The British attitude towards further
loans from America was made clear
in letter to Glass from r. C. Lynd-
say, in charge of the British embassy,
made public today. LINDSAY said Bril-

country for itself. but would like the

LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING

The worlds greatest need today
is people who are able to see a
silver lining. To see that though
things may seem little bit out OF
keller at the moment, they are not
nearly so bad, as they seem, and as
so many would have us believe.
You are safe in putting down the
manor woman--who tells you
the world is headed straight for
the bottomless pit as having per-
sonal interest in it's arrival there.
Whether they call you aside and
whisper it into your ear or shrek II
from the housetops, it isn't true.
Men and women are needed VINO
will believe the contrary; that
America was never so prosperous
as today; that the world only
needs little judicious helping to
get it back on its feet again. 1t
has had lot of nonsense knocked
out of it, and it is not to be won
dered at that it is still bit dizzy.
All that is needed is that we get
down to business and clean up the
mess.
With statesmen, would-be states
men and agitators, paid and UNI
paid. and labor leaders and drivers
milling around and trying to grab
off the biggest handful of advan-
tage from the situation, a little
confusion among the onlookers
ought not to be taken too seriously.
How are they to know that most
of the tumult and shouting is by
those who have axes to grind, and
that if they were once suppressed
and everybody would quiet down
and quit talking and flinging their
arms about for ten days, the elev-
enth day would see this old world
going on better than before, with
everybody exclaiming, "What a
bully place to live in"

IINCOIN'S FAILURES.

Lincoln's birthday will be cele-
brated throughout the nation next
Thursday. 1t should be observed
in Albuquerque, and probably will
be in the city schools.
The life of Lincoln teens with
illustrations for the lives of all of
us particularly for the young. Lin
coins life shows that mans fail
ures, as he may consider them, may
prove excellent foundation stones
for achievement NO man in pub
lie life ever had a more impressive
list of so-called failures than Lin
coin.
Lincoln ran for the legislature
shortly after he came Of age, but
failed Of election. He went into
business with a worthless partner,
and the business failed. 1t took
him seventeen years to pay up the
debts of the firm but the achieve
ment gave him the name of Hon
est Abe"
He was a candidate for the con-
gressional nomination, but his rival
captured the county delegation,
and he attended the convention to
push his rivals claims.
Elected to congress later in life,
he made no impression and was not
returned. At the end of his term
he hoped to get appointed as COM
missioner of the public land office,
but failed
He was defeated in 1854 for the
senatorial nomination in Illinois.
In the Fremont convention he
received votes for vice president,
but failed to secure the nomina-
ton.
He made his famous campaign
against Douglas in 1858, and again
was defeated for the United States
senate.
This seems to be remarkable list
of failures. They did not discour-
age Lincoln. He is quoted as say
ing at one time: 81 will study and
get ready and maybe the chance
will come" When it did come, in
1860, he rose to the occasion.
His failures had taught him in
sight and strength of character to
withstand buffetings that to a
smaller man might well have
seemed those of adverse fate. Seer
from our present perspective. il
was not an adverse fate at all, but
the best training he could have
had.
Life is a university, and one OF
the courses of study is for the pur-
pose of teaching the ability, after
having done all, to stand.
It is hard TO get the right per
spective on things, when one is In
the turmoil of events. Lincoln''
method of learning from his fail
ures. and of keeping on getting
ready for the chance when i
comes, is the right one. 1t wins
in the long run, and it is the lone
run that counts.
