JAMES E. CEAGAN SAYS
1ANLAG IS WORTH
WEIGHT IN GOLD
After Suffering Ten
!; Long Years He De-
clares the Medicine
Has Entirely Over
come All Troubles

Il never dreamed a medicine could
help me as much as Tanlac has,"
said James E. Geagan, PIG N. Main
St, Brewer. Me.
For ten years had been look
ing for something that would give
me relief. My stomach was all out
of fix, and while was careful about
what 1 ate, I suffered tortures from
indigestion. Everything seemed to
turn to acid in my stomach and
suffered intensely from gas press
ing against my heart. About every
three weeks l would have a spell that
would lay me up. In fact, l was
unfit for business at least half of
the time.
II wish I had known about Tanlac
sooner, as it would have saved me
a world Of suffering and hundreds
Of dollars l spent for medicines and
treatments that did me no real good.
II am like a new man now. l eat
better. sleep better and work better
than have in ten years. 1 have
taken on ten pounds in weight, too.
Tanlac not only overcame my stom-
ach trouble. but it also rid me of
muscular rheumatism that used to
bother me a great deal, especially
during damp and rainy weather. I
never have a pain or an ache now.
'Tanlac is worth its weight in
gold and I never miss a chance to
tell people what it will do. 1t is the
only medicine I have ever found that
will do what they say it will.
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by John
Coughlin; in Weeks Mills by ]. A.
Merrill and in West Washington by
Walter F. Burdick and by all leading
druggists in every city and town.

Proposed Amendments

The time between the national
election in November and taking Of
fee the fourth of the following March
affords the candidate a breathing
spell, an opportunity to recover from
the strain of the campaign and for
looking about" but is for the most
part intolerable in other respects.
c. N. Macarthur. a congressman
from Oregon, has introduced two
proposed amendments to the Consti-
tuition to remedy this condition. I'm
der one of these it provides that the
terms of members of the House and
Senate shall begin the first Monday
in December, thus doing away with
the short. session of Congress and
legislation by a body repudiated at
the polls. The other amendment pro-
vides for the President to take his
seat on the second Monday in De-
cember. about five weeks. after the
election and one week after the as
sembling of Congress, such interim
being needed to count the electoral
vote. This amendment would also
provide that the electoral vote should
be counted by the speakers of the
House ano in event no candidate had
a majority the House should elect,
voting nv jndi yiduals rather than nv
States. -
Whatever may be thought of these
proposed amendments there is no
lodging the fact that the present ar
rangement is mischievous one. This
wait from November to March is
something like the period we have
been enduring between the ending Of
warfare and the termination of war
conditions. 1t is a period of unrest,
uncertainty and mischief

In connection with his efforts to
increase the army to $4,000 when
there are funds for but 175.o00. Sec
rotary Baker sends to the Senate for
confirmation the appointment Of a.
900 officers. Should the Senate fail
to confirm these before March 4, the
nominations would expire by limita-
ton.
There are many reports in circu-
lation that much of the effort being
made to have the Senate hold up
the whole list is based upon state
ments of former emergency officers
who applied for regular commissions
and failed to receive the coveted ap-
pointments. Many of these men, it
is said, charge that they were dis
eliminated against by the various
War department boards that recon-
mended all commissions, and it is
these disappointed seekers after
commissions who have communicat-
ed with Senators and Representa-
tives and urged their grievances and
complaints. No doubt this will have
something to do with the Senate
holding up confirmation of the big
list nominated by Secretary Baker.
1t is even limited that the Senate
intends to go deeply into many of
the appointments and waere there
seems to be ground for some Of the
complaints to probe these cases by
personal examinations of the officers
who made up the various recon-
mending boards.

Bakers Sudden Militarism

il has been limited that Newton d.
taker. secretary of war, is pacifist.
Things that he did-and didn't do
Sduring the war gave color to the
allegation. and he himself was not
wholly averse to bearing the name.
President Wilson put his o. K. on
him as the most efficient public
servant have ever known" but
aside from this distinguished recon-
inendation, Secretary Baker has
called down upon himself the SUI
preme disgust and contempt Of the
nation,
: That is all in the past, however. At
least it seems SO, for Mr.. Baker is
aow engaged in putting over a most
Intensive army recruiting drive, hav-
ing already gathered in nearly $4,000
more men than the Congressional ap-
propriations have provided fer. and
he gives out the information that the
drive will continue until the army is
recruited up to full strength. In all
his pomposity he rises to his full
height and tells Senators, Congress
men. and the world in general that
he will pay no attention to individ-
ual protests nor to action by either
Senate or House military committees.
He says nothing short of a resolu-
tion by Congress will stop him. and
virtually goes ahead and dares Con-
gress to pass one.
What is he doing it for? Whom
does he intend to fight with this
maximum army? Doesn't he know
that a recruiting campaign is Of
itself an expensive thing? Doesn't
he know that a big standing army
is not calculated to cut down the
nations tax burden? Doesn't he
know that If be insists on recruiting
the army to full strength, 1t will con-
ain about $4,000 men more than
were provided for by the appropria-
lions?
Certainly he does. But in spite Of
it. he tells Senators that he considers
himself bound by the army reorgan-
ration act to get it up to full
strength and refuses to understand
that sthe figure set at approximate
~ 100000 enlisted men was intended
as a maximum. as shown by the ap-
aropriations which were much toe
small to care for that number. His
campaign has every appearance Of
an attempt to saddle his successor
and the entire In coming administra-
fion with one more burden. AS the
War department is now being con-
Quoted. It viii run out Of funds long
before the end of the fiscal year. Not
emily will such a condition be a
source of embarrassment to the de-
partment but it is likely to have its
effect on the army for the next few
years, and that effect is not likely
70 be good. Bakers wholesale meth
obs are turning even the men who
favor large army against the plan
and they are realizing that the strict
est economy will be necessary to pay
up for his insane extravaganza.
In the meantime he goes serenely
on in defiance of all pleas of reason.

| MANY COUNTERFEIT
BILLS ARE EXTANT
ADDED CIPHERS ARE CLEVERLY
WORKED IN. DENOMINA-
TONS ARE RAISED.

Did you feel the corners of the last
piece of currency that passed through
your fingers? A cashier or bank tell
er always does. Warnings from the
American Bankers Association are
received by Dawson banks almost
daily to watch for bills raised to
higher denominations. By clipping
the corners of the bills and by a
clever scraping and patchwork pro-
cess the corner of the bill is made to
represent $40, $40 or any other high
er denomination than 81.
A SO bill with double corners,
very thin, but nevertheless percepti-
BILE to the critic, was recently found
in circulation. Banks are constantly
warned against 20s, tellers say. By
minute clippings and FASTING the 81
bill is raised to ten times its value.
Where the counterfeit is most plain
ly perceptible is in the fine steel
lines in the corner. The counterfeiter
must usually trace them in with pen
and they are often found to be heav-
Ter than those imprinted by United
States machinery.
persons whose minds do not run
along the same lines as that of a
counterfeiter's Or other crooks are
often fooled by such bills when they
are in circulation. They are not look
ing for such pieces of work and
therefore do not examine their bills.
We pick them up occasionally be-
cause we are warned against them
by the association.
