He HAS NEVER FELT
BETTER IN HIS LIFE
Roach Didn't Have Well Day IN Seven
Years-Tanlac Restores
Him.

eff there was ever a day in my
life when I felt better than [ do
now l can't remember it," said John
Roach, Of 245 Broockland ST., La
Sale, H., in relating his experience
with Tanlac.
Yes, sir, I'm sixty-five years OF
age, and during the last seven years
didn't see a well day. Ny stomach
was out of order, and my Kidneys
bothered me a great deal.
Il had to be very careful what l
ate, for the least heavy food would
upset me and cause hours of suffer
ing. My food gave me heavy, full
feeling. and at times l could hardly
breathe for a lump which seemed to
form in my throat and my heart pal
plated frightfully.
my back hurt so bad at times
couldn't stoop over without just suf-
fering agony. In fact, at times l
could hardly keep from yelling right
cut. the pain was so great.
81 was very nervous. often stayed
awake nearly all night, and always
felt tired and worn out. / fell off
until l was only a shadow of what l
used to be, and was so weak | could
hardly stay up. 1t seemed that the
more I tried for relief the worse l
got.
Finally a friend advised me to
try Tanlac, and l count myself lucky
that l got the medicine My appe-
tite is fine now, eat anything I want
and as much as l want without the
least pain or distress. and since my
food agrees with me so well l have
gained all nv STRENGTH ha ck
1.-THE pains have disappeared from
my back. my kidneys never bother
me in the least, and, in fact, am a
well man and sleep like log every
night. Tanlac certainly has made
me feel like a different person and
can't say anything too good for It,"

A NATION OF RUNNERS.

We appear to be becoming nation Of run
ners. Running Japs into the country has been
a flourshing business in recent years Run
ming in drugs has apparently been a profitable
vocation. Running in liquor is said to engage
host of citizens and to yield them fabulous re-
turns; and it may be that we are now to see
the rise Of huge organizations, with ramifica-
tons bringing every hamlet into the network,
for running malt extracts, hops and yeast.
And there is one thing that is running out in
stead of in, which is respect for the nation S
laws. The supremacy of law depends upon the
general recognition of its righteousness and the
consensus Of good citizens that it ought to be
obeyed. Even under despotisms, laws which
had no public sentiment behind them could
never be successfully enforced; and the attempt
TO do so in democracy is even more hopeless.
Millions of citizens are being educated into les
sened respect for statutes made and provided;
and thousands are finding in systematic law VIC
lation the easiest and most remunerative work
Df their lives. 1t is an unfortunate state of af-
fairs which calls for a remedy, and that quick

INDIANS TITLE TO CITIZENSHIP

The question Of citizenship for the Indian
has always attracted attention, but not even
those friendly to giving the red voice in
pur government will agree with claims made at
the recent conference Of the Society Of Alner-
ian Indians in st. Louis. The claim that the
indian has Inherent right to citizenship is
100 broad
Citizenship is declared by the courts to be
privilege, not a right, and the Indians have
n this respect no more rights under the law
han have the whites. If they base their claim
N the fact that they were here with the first
whites and owned all the land it may be answer
I'd that not all TIE whites had citizenship. Vari-
JUS qualifications for it, which were not pos
essed by all the white men, barred some of the
whites from possessingit. Some of these quail
ications involved certain property ownership
E, md payment OF poll taxes. The Indians of the
arly days did not own the lands within town
units and they paid no poll taxes The fact

that their lands were taken away from them
does not alter the lack of ownership The
whites owned their land by right Of conquest
The Indians not only did not participate in the
government set up by the whites, they even OPP
posed it. If they ever had any rights, they for
feited them.
But aside from any argument offered by the
Indians, the principle that citizenship is a
privilege, not right, balks their claim.

There is laughter everywhere.
