Senstenoff. who resides at 234 East
Winifred ST., st. Paul. Mimi, recently.

t.sm and stomach trouble for some
time, she continued. IL had scraceiy
any appetite and what little did
manage to eat would sour, bloat ma
up terribly and cause such intense
pains could hardly stand them. My
heart would palpitate at times and
would feel like l was smotherins.
My kidneys also bothered me great
deal and my back and limbs oained
me so l could barely get around the
house. But my right arm caused me
more suffering than all the rest of my
troubles. just couldn't move it ut all,
couldn't raise it to comb my hair and
the pain was so intense it nearly
drove me crazy. l couldn't sleep for
the pain and would get up in the
morning so tired and worn out that
could hardly stand on my feet. My
head ached all the time and was al
most physical wreck. All this trouble
started after had an attack of the
flu last winter.
81 tried all sorts of treatments and
medicines, but none Of them did me
any good, and l gradually got worse
all the time. At last friend advised
me to try Tanlac, and she was so en-
thusiastic about it and what it would
do l decided to take her advice at
first it didn't seem TO do me very
much good, except my appetite began
TO improve, but by the time had fin

Saving by Living On Nothing

What if the farmers should
striker" A good many farmers have
been asking this questions with the
thought that it is about time they id
"A gainst the bogus cost-of-living drive.
And there has been considerable
strike of farmers in Illinois and In
diana. But the kept press has taken
ND the question in the hope of imtimi-
dating city workers who strike
against the special interests. One
might say that it is now a popular
song with the whole crew of corrupt
journalism from Successful Farming
to the Wall Street Journal.
The New York Call a worker-own
ed paper in New York. points out that
The last thing the interests want
would be farmers standing up for
their rights. The farmers would not
be striking against city workmen but
for better credit facilities, market re-
form, protection for cooperation, fair
taxation, etc. All of which would hit
the financial spiders. And the Call
concludes:
.sThe future of the farmers hes
somewhere along these lines, not IN
making faces at the city worker to
the amusement of an exploiting class
which skins both. When both rural
and urban workers understand that
they have more i'm common with each
other than they have with any section
of the exploiting classes and begin TO
act on this knowledge, the Wall Street
Journal will never again commend the
idea of a strike"

Packers Confess Sins

According to Senator Watson OF III
diana our federal trade commission
is full of Bolshevists. The senate is
actually going to investigate his
charges in this line. The big business
soviet in the senate works together
very nicely. But now in their agree
ment with the government to end the
ant-trust suit the packers confess ali
the important points brought out by
the trade commission 'Balshev.sts.
The Big Five promise to part with
stockyards, stockyard railways, mar
ket newspapers and their wholesale
grocery business. They will will leave
the retail meat business strictly alole.
AS to how much we have to expect
for the public from this confession of
sin we might look back on the dlssolu-
ton of the Standard Oil company and
the American tobacco company. j.
Ogden Armour, as president of one
company, will sell his stockyards to j..
Ogden Armour, president or principal
stakeholder of another company.

The "Farmer Strike" Idea

A conversation with Tom Johnson,
the Cleveland seformer, had with
Mayor Pingree of Detroi; many years
ago is also in point. Johnson owned
about half of the street car system of
Detroit and wanted the other half.
Pingree, reform mayor, had put
through an ordinance forbidding the
sale of the other company to Johnson.
johnson smiled and said: 'sIn a few
days a Mr.. Smith of New York will
come here and buy the other company.
Smith. of course, will be working for
me-"
Tell me- exclaimed Pingree in
despair, "how can prevent you from
buying the other company"

MEETING POOR REASONING

Governor Burnquist's resort to bad
logic and worse law to save the polit
ical neck of sheriff who interfered
with free speech, is eNasperating to
Minnesota people of independent
mind. But reformers and near re-
formers should remember that if they
are right their task consists in meet
ing bad arguments. They should not
get too much s1het up" over the work
cut out for them.
The governor and others could not
get away with the disregard of fun
damental law which Minnesota has
been plagued with for the last two
years, unless he took the position
that sheriff has power to stop a
meeting if he thinks disturbance is
likely to result. The sheriff is thus
made local autocrat on all matter
of public discussion. The public can
not examine the. sheriff's mind. The
public danger may be imaginary or it.

A hostile squawk by brother politi-
clan might be enough to constitute a
threat of disturbance.
The sheriff's duty, of course, in law
and otherwise is to become wise" to
amy persons planning to disturb a
lawful meeting and apprehend them
before or when they are about to
undertake the overt act. The Mime
sofa governor knows this as we'll as
any one, but the truth does not serve
his purpose.
In fact. the governor is not foe
of free speech as an abstract matter
The trouble with it from his point Of
view is that it no longer serves those
factions of the population which he
represents. He must have some ap
parently plausible method of denying
it to his opponents or his cause is
lost.

oRsett1ne Tax increases

Taxes have everywhere had to in
crease where the samc amount OF pub
lie business was carried on. The 81
cent dollar is the chief reason. III
taxes remained the same our states
would have to close the schools, close
the hospitals, allow the roads to be
come mudholes and dispense with the
administration Of justice. This simple
fact is everywhere fe" lied, hui only
in North Dakota, where ste.te taxes
have increased less than anywhere
else, is much weeping done on the
shoulders of the taxpayers, and the
tears shed are Judas tears.
Not only have North Dakota S
state taxes failed to follow the pace
set by other states, but North Dako.a
alone is giving the people savings to
Offset necessary increases in pubic
expense. Hail insurance saving alone
more than makes up the increase IN
