GLAD TO TELL
Anyone What Tanlac Did For
Him, Says Hays.
Built Him Up After Flu-Now
Feels Fine.

st didn't think I would ever be a
wen man again but the way Tanlac
has built me up and given me such
fine health in so short a time is some
thing I can hardly understand" said
James s. Hays, valued employe of
the Wilson Packing Co.. living at the
corner of Shawnee Roads and Coy
street, Kansas City, Kansas.
Several weeks ago when the flu
was ra ging so had a severe case and
after I got up found myself in about
as weak and run-doWn a condition as
a man ever gets in, why. my lower
limbs felt like they would give way
and 1 could hardly stand up. [ was
badly constipa.ed and was continually
having splitting headaches and awful
dizzy spells. My stomach was all out
of order and I never felt hungry, in
fact, I almost dreaded to eat anything
for I knew L had to pay for it in suf-
fering. I would bloat all up with gas
that would press in close around my
heart and nearly shut my breath off
entirely. | had such severe pains
across the small of my back, it was
next to impossible for me to sleep
good and many nights. 1t looked like
I was growing weaker every day and
1 became alarmed over my condition.
zone day my foreman came to me
and told me what Tanlac had done for
him and advised me to try it. l got
bottle right away ana before ndo
finished half of it my appetite got
new start and ! was feeling better and
stronger. And now 1 have taken four
bottles and it is remarkable what a
difference it has made in me. Eat,
why, eat like a bear and the beauty
of it is that 1 am never troubled after
wards at all. My constipation has
been entirely relieved and I am free
from those headaches and dizzy spells.
The. pains have left my back and ]
sleep like log every night I have
gained eight or nine pounds in weight,
have been built up in every way and
am working hard every day. My gen
eral health is better than it has been
for many years and if anybody wants
to get it direct from me what I think
of Tanlac just tell them to call me Or
write me-"

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRR
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES.

If you know of some one who Is trou-
bled with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises
or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula
and hand it TO them and you may have
been the means of saving some poor suf-
ferer perhaps from total deafness. In Eng
land scientists for a long time past have
recognized that catarrh is a constitutional
disease and necessarily requires constitu@
tional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate he delicate air passages
which frequently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven down the
air passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following form
ula which is used extensively in the damn
English climate is a constitutional treat
ment and should prove especially efficac-
ious to sufferers here who live under more
favorable climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce of
home and add to it \. pint of hpt water
and a little graduated sugar; Stir until
dissolved Take one tablespoonful four
times a day. This will often bring quick
relief from distressing head noises. Clog
ged nOstrils should open, breathing become
easy and hearing improve as the inflam-
nation in the euSta chan tubes is reduced.
Parmint used in this way acts directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system and has a tonic action that
helps to obtain the desired results. The
and is pleasant to take. Every person who
has catarrh or head noises is hard of
hearing should give this treatment trial.

Brussels. May 19-American com petitors and visitors to the Olympic games at Antwerp this summer who may desire to visit other European countries after the games will avoid much difficulty for themselves and American diplomatic authorities if they secure all necessary foreign pass port vises before leaving America.
 While we, of course, are glad to help in any way that we can, the diff faculties of rushing passports through foreign consulates and embassies here for vtses are tremendous" said one American diplomatic secretary today,
 "AM the various legations have a fixed charge for granting vises and certain fixed forms which must be filled out by the applicant in person If out of courtesy to our visiting ath- letes we attempt here to rush their passports through without these for. mafities we invariably encounter diff athletes, while here may desire to visit France, England or other coun- tries. If they do they should try to secure French and English vises be- fore leaving the United States"

SETS PANICKY
 FEARS AT REST

Prospects of $40 four and a. 25 cent loaf were swept from the con sumers horizon yesterday by Wheat Director Julius H. Barnes in his ad- dress before the conference of ad- ministrative heads of the government and chairmen of the Agricultural Committees of Congress, which met in Washington, D. C., to discuss the flu ture of the wheat market after the termination of government control on June l.
 MT. Barnes also set at rest the housewifes panicky fears about Americas outlook for bread supplies. The wheat crop in the United States promises to far exceed the average yield, he said, unless nature proves more than normally unkind, while the importing countries of Europe now have crop prospects larger than those of last year.

PRICES OF CIGARS
 MAY BE RAISED

The manufacturers Of smokes in New Haven have increased the price of their product. and it is expected Bridgeport will probably follow their lead Cigars which were five cents will now sell for not less than ten cents. The increase on all former five cent cigars is $1.5O a thousand, ], on all ten cent cigars S2 a thousand and on former fifteen cent cigars $3 a thousand.
 The manufacturers will have to class all the five cent cigars as c Revenue class instead of B as at pres ent. This will raise the revenue tax per 1000 cigars from six to nine dollars.
 Manufacturers in this city expect that the cigar makers will ask for an increase of $2 per thousand which will increase their wages from $22. 50 a thousand to $24.50.
 The cigar Makers Union here has for some time intended to ask for a raise, and this boost in the prices of cigars will give them an opportunity.
