MRS. NORTON
Says She Hasn't One of Her
Troubles Left.
Sleeps Fine, Eats Anything and
Feels Splendid.

81 have been taking Tanlac less than
a month and am just on my third bot
tie, but think of it, I am already en-
joying better health than I have in
years." said Mrs. Carrie Norton. 452S
Eaton Ave, Rosedale, Kan, recently.
IT certainly know what bad health
means for 1 have been suffering for
years from stomach trouble, indiges-
ton and constipation. No matter what
I ate it seemed to always lay heavy
on my stomach and the gas which
formed caused such an awful pressure
against my heart that 1 felt sometimes
like my heart would stop beating. My
head ached a lot and at times became
so dizzy that I couldn't stand up. My
sleep was restless and broken and 1
became so rundown and weak that
I wasn't able to do my homework.
when first began taking Tanlac
and saw it was helping me just felt
somehow that it was the very thing 1
needed, and it certainly has been, for
today I am enjoying just splendid
health and it seems remarkable that
Tanlac could help me so in such a
short time. My appetite is just fine
and I have even gained in weight. !
understand now why so many people
are praising Tanlac. 1t certainly de-
serves every bit of it."-Adv-

in CICARET RAIDS
Will Visit Thirty Five Business
Houses This Afternoon.
Squads Headed by County and
City Attorneys. :

An .anti-cigaret crusade is on in To-
peka!
At O'Clock this afternoon a raid
was started which will include thirty
five different establishments which
are suspected of violating the anti
cigaret law.
The wrecking crew is headed by
Tinkham Veale, county attorney; D.
H. Branaman, city attorney, and
other officials.
Among the thirty-five places the
crusaders have on their list are drug
stores, cigar stores and pool halls.
Plans Formed at 2 O'Clock.
The raid this afternoon came with
out immediate warning as the officers
did not formulate their plans until 2
o'clock If any of the dealers have
managed to dispose of any of the
stock which they are alleged to have
on hand, it will be because a tip came
from some underground source which
the officers overlooked.
The Topeka dealers, however, have
had warning in the past. About two
months ago a general warning was is
sued that the anti-cigaret law was 60
ing to be enforced.
That the warning had little effect
and that the law has continued to be
violated was the message which sew
eral ministers and welfare workers are
said to have been carrying to the pro-
scouting officials for the past few
weeks and resulted in plans being laid
for the raid this afternoon.

HUNT FOR YOUTH
Big Posse of MuSkOgee Citizens

Second Time Filling Station

Muskogee. Okla, Aug. s.-Five
hundred citizens supplied with guns
by the police today were searching
the city for Malcomb Etheridge, II
years old, who was under police pro-
lection following his kidnapping here
recently and who disappeared yester-
day afternoon after telling relatives
he was going to a theater.
The police expressed the belief that
the young man had been killed. The
only definite clue they had to work
upon, however, was furnished by per-
sons who said they had seen Ether
idge dragged into a motor car in the
downtown section late yesterday.
Etheridge was robbed month ago
while on duty at a filling station.
Three days later he was kidnapped and
found bound and gagged twenty-four
hours afterward in an abandoned
shop. Two men and a woman were
arrested in connection with the kid
naping and their hearings are set for
today in the city court.
Police have expressed the belief
that Etheridge was kidnapped the frs.
time by persons who had robbed the
filling station and who had been rec

young man last night was ascribed by

Challenge to American Dis

CONFERENCE PLANS UNCERTAIN
Invited Nations Are Now
Jockeying for Position.
q. s. Navy Being "ATarked Up
for Big Slash." Sss !

London, Aug. 3.-Great Britain Is
determined to continue her policy Of
constructing big battleships, it was
announced in the house of commons
this afternoon, but it was denied there
is anything in the naval program that
could be contrued as a challenge to
America or Japan.
The announcement was made by L.
C. NJ. S. Amery, under secretary OF the
admiralty, when debate opened this
afternoon on the national estimates.
Nations Are Jockeying.
Washington, Aug. 3.-while plans
for the autumn disarmament confer
ence are still in the air. the certainty
that it will be held already has led
some of the nations invited to start
jockeying for position.
The most apparent move to date
! has been the publication abroad, prin-
cipally in Great Britain of various
sorts of white papers and Official
estimates" of the comparative strength
of the worlds navies.
These estimates have appeared in
profusion since it became certain that
I the disarmament conference is to be
F, held and invariably they have padded
the American navy quite substantially
while reporting their own armament
U. S. Navy Marked Up.
The object, of course. is apparent.
| In department store parlance it would
be called marking up for reduction
with American being marked up for
a slash"
Naval circles were amused today
at one of these tables just put out in
London as a white paper" which
shows that the United States has
hot
ing, as compared with Great Britain 3
29 and Japan's Is.
i AS matter of fact, the United
States has A battleships, including
everything laid down since 1901. Some
of this number are old, almost obso-
lete and have not been rated as first
class fighting ships for some years.
They are used principally for training
and similar peaceful purposes.
i Not Up to Figures.
From the most authentic accounts
obtainable here and abroad, Great
Britain now has 26 capital first line
ships, with building; the United
States has 16 and IL building: Japan
has and z building; France, Z and
building.
The United States leads in second
line ships with Is, as against Great
Britain's 6; Japan's 4, and Frances 10.
In the matter of destrpyers and light
cruisers, the British are preponderant-
ly ahead of the whole world.
Very few naval comparisons will
jibe as they are for the most part pub
lished for home consumption" and
stress the strength of possible antag-
onists while discounting the home
forces.
One of the first and knottiest OBJ
stacles which will have to be overcome
at the start of the forthcoming parley
. will be to get all the nations partici-
, pating to lay their naval cards on the
ia bile
