Health After Everything
Else Had Failed-Happy All
the Time, Now. Il

1T Is certainly a blessing to en-
JOY good health, and as Tanlac has
restored mine you may know what
think Of it," said Miss Gladys Tupper
OF Dysart, Iowa, popular young
teacher in the Oneida school in Tama
county, while at the Boyson Drug
Store in Cedar Rapids the other day.
For the past three years." contin-
ued Miss Upper, Il suffered terri
bly, from q severe case of indigestion,
and altho l tried everything recon-
mended to me, 1 obtained no relief
whatever until started on Tanlac.
My appetite left me entirely and at
times l could hardly bear the sight of
food. What little l did manage to
eat made me miserable, and caused
bitter disagreeable taste in my
mouth. I suffered with such dread
full sick headaches that it almost dis
tracted me. and at times I became
so dizzy I could scarcely read or
carry on my work in the class room.

commission at Riga, arranged an ar
mistice on October 80 for the purpose
Of bringing convoy OF Red Cross
motor trucks into Ria. An officer
from the Russian German forces at
lacking Riga was detailed 20 act as
a guide across No Mans Land.
The officer, a captain, CLIMBED
upon the seat with one OF the drivers,
who was so busy lodging shellholes
that he forgot to tell the captain 10
get on when the front line OF the
Lettish army was reached. Having
passed the fornt line. as far as he
was allowed to go, the officer was
bounced upon by Let's. marched into
Riga, and incarcerated in the "brlB.
Colonel Ryan, hearing OF the cap
ture, was greatly disturbed, for II had
been entirely out OF courtesy to the
Red Cross that the officer had been
sent to accompany the trucks. Also
II was partly the drivers fault Tor
not telling the officer when the front
line was passed. Altogether Colonel
Ryan felt that the Red Cross had
been responsible for the capture OF
the officer, and il he languished in
stockade Colonel Ryan felt that the
fault would be his. He went TO
Colonel Ballod, commandments
OF the Let's, and laid the case before
him.
Under the circumstances" said the
commander. 1--WE will not hold him az
prisoner, but as guest shall
turn him over to the Red Cross, ana
he will be under your special protec-
ton"
Several days later. wishing to be
kind to the Red Cross, Colonel Ballod
told Colonel Ryan that he might take
the Russian back to his own lines
The Red Cross man broke the glad
some tidings to the Russian, expect
ing him to show pathetic JOY at being
able to Join the ranks OF his patriots
once more.
Il don't want to go back was the
unexpected reply; "I'm going TO stay
right here and be a prisoner.
No amount of argument could IN
duce him to alter his decision. Ana,
until somebody suggests an efectlVe
method OF getting rid of prisoner
of war. the captain will be USED as
n chauffeur, for by great good Tor
tune he drives q car.
