GOOD ROADS CARRY BIG
Farm Tenantry Provision Increases
Lcad-Tax Amendment Beaten.

The highway amendment to the
state constitution continued to increase
its majority today with official returns
from additional counties. The farm
tenantry provision also increased its
lead. At the same time the tax pro-
posal continued to slide and is now
nearly 10000 votes behind III seventy
counties.
w. c. Markham. secretary of the
state highway commission. has COM
piled figures from more than eighty
counties showing a lead for the good
roads amendment of $4,000. The ten
antry amendment is 1900 votes
ahead in seventy-two counties On
the face of returns it is probable that
the tax measure is beaten $4,000 or
more. 7f
Wyandotte was the prize county for
the road amendment. 1t gave the
measure majority of more than
$4,000. Wyandotte is the largest coun-
ty in the state in point of population,
second largest in assessed valuation
and has one of the smallest road mile
ages in the state. Under provisions of
the road amendment as submitted it
would receive the greatest relative
state benefit.

URGES SAVING OF GAS
Governor Allen Issues Special Conser-
walton Proclamation.

Governor Allen today issued a spe-
cial proclamation urging conservation
of eas-the sort that burns-in all
towns in this state. He asks that the
public cooperate with a special com
mittee appointed by the industrial
court to work out problems confront
ing the gas towns.
In his proclamation the governor
said:
The diminution of the supply of natural
gas in the producing fields has become so
marked as to render 1t imperative that an
effort be made to conserve ii, in order to
prolong the term when it will be available
for domestic purposes. The past 20 years
which have seen the Development of the
wide-s spread use OF natural gas for fuel
and lighting in the cities and towns OF
Kansas, have also witnessed steady waste
of this product. Twenty years ago the
supply was such as to cause the building
of pipe lines to cities distant from the field
for the transportation of gas, so as to
needs. The wasteful of this fuel has
brought us the present problem, in all
communities using natural gas OF finding
Il sufficient supply for the market which
has been developed.
1t Us well known that there is lack of
efficiency in combustion thru the general
poses, as well as n loss in the transporta
ton of the product tand In its dlstr1bu-
ton.
A conservation committee has been desiG-
mated by the court of industrial relations
to cooperate with the consumers of gas,
with the distributing companies and with
the pipe line companies in bringing about
the highest degree of conservation and
efficiency. IT is earnestly desired that all
consumers of gas and the officials of the
cities using gas cooperate with these COM
mittees in the accomplishment of the pur-
pose sought. in order that we may conserve
for the comfort of the. public this diminish =
ing supply. Because of the shortage of
gas and the need of stringent methods
Of conservation. l have deemed it advisable
to issue a proclamation. calling attention
to and urging the necessity and Importance

~. W. Burton. Gpecial representative
IN the state of Kansas for Tanlac, the
medicine that has created such SEN
satiUn all over the United States and
Canada, gives some highly interesting
facts about Tanlac and the remark
able results achieved by it.
Contrary to, popular opinion" he
stated, there Is no great mystery
about Tanlac. except in so far as the
chemistry of the human body itself
and what it does with substances taken
into it, is mystery. Some of the in
gradients of Tanlac have been known
and used as medicines for centuries.
Others are of more recent discovery.
but every one of them is of recognized
therapeutic value and used by the
medical profession everywhere. Tan
lac is simply co-mingling of these
medicinal elements in a way hitherto
unknown and which brings out their
curative and reconstructive powers to
a most remarkable degree Briefly, it
allays irritation of the stomach,
strengthens the digestive and assimi-
lative organs. builds up and revitalizes
the whole system, and gives the body
new powers of resistance and strength.

brought on by dyspepsia, Indigestion,
illness. operation OF other causes
TT is a demonstrated fact~in medi-
cal science that the stomach is the
starting point of most of the ills that
afflict the human body, and many of
the so-called diseases are not diseases
at all. but reflex symptoms of the
stomach arrangements of the weak
ened condition of the body that natur-
ally follows. Some kinds of rheuma-
Hsm, gastritis. palpitation, nervous
ness, kidney disorders and liver COM
plants are among the more common
troubles developed thru the stomach.
Scores of other diseases have been
traced to the same source.
''Tanlac was made especially to
overcome these stomach complaints
and the various so-called diseases and
symptoms that follow them, but the
astonishing reconstructive powers re-
vealed by i have not only astonished
the general public, but have som ewhat
surprised even the Originators of the
medicine themselves Thousands of
letters reach the Tanlac offices from
all parts of North America telling of
remarkable results derived by people
who have suffered for years without
bling able heretofore to find relief.
Naturally, these remarkable
achievements have spread the fame of
Tanlac to all quarters of the continent
and the demand for it has necessitated
working the laboratories night and
day.
"The tremendous popularity of Tan
lac grows steadily instead of diminish
ing and can be explained in only one
way-merit. Its remarkable restora-
tive effects seem to be more perma-
nent than hitherto believed possible.
Thousands of persons who took it
when it was first introduced five years
ago report that they are still enjoying
excellent health, and millions of
American homes are now using Tanlac
as the family medicine after having
first tried it out thoroughly"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
