It completely restored my health and
I have gained twenty pounds besides.
1 have a splendid appetite now. and
can eat anything L want without
being troubled in the least after
wards.
Before taking Tanlac my health
was dreadfully rundown. My main
trouble was Indigestion. and I suf-
fered misery night and day. 1 never
seemed hungry, and the little ate up
set my stomach. I was nervous and
couldn't get a good nights sleep. 1
lost thirty four pounds and was going
down bill rapidly. 1t seemed like the
more medicine I took the worse got.
But sine taking Tanlac I am like
a brand-new man. l sleep like a farm

COSTS MORE MORE WANT IN
Farm Bureaus Steadily Growing in
Kansas Counties Is Report.

Manhattan. Kan, Dec. 2.-Kansas
farmers, when they learn more fl
nances are needed, are as willing to
pay $40 a year for their farm bureaus
as they have been in former years to
pay from $3.50 to IS. This is shown
by the fact that in the first three
counties to hold campaigns. the COM
bined membership at SO is greater
than under the old dues.
Two of the first three counties
worked show an increase in member
ship. Cloud county jumped from 326
members to COZ, and Usage from 268
to 465. Jewell county. with five out
had $50 members when it's campaign
ended. Cleanup campaigns will be
put on later in the five townships.
The total membership in the three
counties is now 1897. The member
ship last year in the three counties
was 1859. This gives the three coun-
ties 12S more members than they had
under the lower dues.
Eighteen county farm bureaus in
Kansas have voted to increase their
membership dues to $40. The execu-
tive boards in 19 other counties have
met and recommended that their dues
be increased to SO a year. No county
has yet failed to vote the increased
dues. Under the new plan SIS will be
used to carry on the work of the
county farm bureaus and the other SIS
will be used to meet expenses of the
campaign and to pay the dues to
Kansas State Farm Bureau and the
American Farm Bureau Federation.

Half of Combined Income.

A recent survey of Protestant
church colleges in Kansas shows there
are seventeen of these institutions

sist chiefly of endowments.
Debts Comparatively Low.
The aggregate debt of. the seventeen
institution is given as s3S4.271. or
about half their annual income

A comparison is made of the valua-
tions and incomes of the church coll
leges with the five state educational
Institutions - the university, agricul-
turaI college and three normal schools
Emporia, Pittsburg and Hays. These
have a total valuation of $7.153,337,
of which $6,217,530 represents the
physical property values. Tho state
schools have an annual income. thru
appropriations made by the legisla-
ture, of s2,126,S97- As to the COM
parative incomes of the two classes
of institutions, the survey reports
says:
1.-The state colleges slightly exceed in
number of regular students and in re-
sources the corresponding totals for
private colleges. and have three times
their income"

MOST DEMOCRATS AGREE WITH MALONE.

Dudley Field, Malone, democrat
foremr collector OF the port OF New
York and a Wilson supporter has adj
dressed a letter Of protest to the
president. AS showing the attitude
Of many democrats toward the Will
son league Mr.. Malone's letter Is
worth reproduction in part. Malone
tells Mr.. Wilson that his misconcep-
ton OF the patriotism and states
manship Of the opponents OF the Will
son league is incredible and con
tinues:
There are other students OF Amer
lean history besides yourself, who are
acquainted with the traditional policy
Of this country toward freedom and
Justice In the world" he wrote.
And 1t requires no second sight to
know that If Washington and Lincoln
and Webster and Wendell Phillips
were in the councils Of the nation to-
day they would oppose your league of
nations, which is backed by some OF
our financial interests in this country
for international exploitation and
which is supported in Europe only by
the reactionary diplomats of discred-
tied governments.

He repeated the question in n loud

In whose quiet swell is mingled song

Bill Y WHISK Frs
BY FRANCES TREGo MoNTGoMERl

Billy Whiskers had more than a
week in which to make his prepare
tons to go to the circus. The morn
ing after he had heard Tom Treat,
his young master. telling Jack
Wright about 1t. he almost decided
to give up going.
In the first place, he didn't know
what might happen to him, and more
than once the thought entered his
mind that he would be running into
all sorts OF danger. You see that Billy
was no greenhorn. He had knocked
about a great deal and had been in
some awful tight places. There had
even been times when it looked as
tho he must pay for some of his es-
capades with his very life. Well, all
Of these things tended to make him
cautious. so that while he had been
quick to make up his mind to see for
hinkelf this wonderful circhs, ne did
had thought 1t all over very careful
ly and counted. as he supposed, the
cost. Whether he had or not we shall
see as we go on.
AS the first step in making ready.
he decided to ask his animal friends
at Cloverleaf Farm to tell him all
they knew about circuses, for,
thought he. certainly some of them
must know and can just as well give
me pointers as not. He did not pro-
pose to tell any one, however, not
even his best friend. Rex, the colt,
what his plans were.
With this scheme in mind, he first
approached Abbie, the black cat. Her
real name was Abigail, and while the
boys called her Alb for short, sister

(which is the finest songster
among the finches?
The purple finch is our finest song
ster among the finches. Its strain is
SO soft and melodious, and touched
with such childlike gayety and
plaintiveness, that I think 1t might
sound well even in cage inside a
room. if the bird would only sing
with the same joyous abandonment,
which. of course. it would not do.
lis the raccoon good fighter?
Raccoons are very tenacious of life,
and like the badger, will always whip
a dog of their own size and weight.
A woodchuck can bite severely, hav-
ing teeth that cut like chisels. but a
coon has agility and power OF limb
as well.
3.-What similarity is there be-
tween fall and spring?
In the fall the trees attract all eyes
as in May. The birds come forth from
their summer privacy and parody
their spring reunions and rivalries;
some of them sing little after a ST.
lence of months. The robins. bluebirds
meadowlarks, sparrows. crows, all
sport, and call and behave in a man
ner suggestive of spring.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS IN IOWA.

Senator w. G. Harding candidate
for president and who shall be presi-,
dent Of the United States after
March next by the votes Of the
American people is the welcome
guest of Iowa today.
Mr.. Harding's dignifed and states
manlike conduct of his candidacy and
the outline he has afforded as to his
understanding Of the needs Of the
country and the purposes he holds in
event of his election have made Mr..
Harding most welcome in Iowa. It is
true enough that he was not Iowa's
first choice; perhaps he was farther
down the list than second or third
choice but he is Iowa's first choice
today and may count on an old time
majority vote for himself and the re-
publican party from this state.
The state and the country also is
sick and tired of the SO called ideal
lists and self assumed omnipotence
that insists on playing a recreation
of the world with themselves as
creators. The anxiety of the country
is to gather up the loose ends of bust
ness, commerce and industry and tie
them together where they were cut
by the war and where they were fire.
quently parted most unadvisedly and
unnecessarily. The country wants q
foreman to bring order and establish
conditions not an alleged inventor
who would junk all the machinery
and experiment with machines that
lack the essential principles Of sue
cessful operation. The issue is to
clear away the debris, get back to
efficiency and cooperative effort. A
big, strong, patient and purposeful
execptive who recognizes the consti-
tutional rights and authority Of other
branches Of government is the desire
of the people. Mr.. Harding gives the
impression of a man able to hold the
Job. In comparison with his OPP
ponent and the present incumbent of
the executive office he looms wide
and high.
Harding has talked common sense
from his front porch. He will talk
common sense in Iowa today. Com
mon sense, common effort and COM
mon opportunity are what the voters
are demanding. The comparison be-
tween Harding and Cox has been
drawn. Cox has made evident
mediocrity of mind, a stiffness of
