Stuff He Put Away at coney Was Too Much Even for Stomach of
 Healthy Boy.

-T couldn't come to work yester- day." said Whitey, the than whomer of office boys "I was at Coney the day before an ct too much"
 Heavens sakes, what did you eat?'' asked the office manager.
 "Well," said Whitey, first we had peanuts, and then We had three hot dogs apiece and a coupla ice cream cones. Then we had some popcorn and salt water kisses and red lemon ade, and then we pushed names on a pushboard for boxes of candy, and I won a box, and we ct that; they was chocolates, and then we had some sassaparilla, because just before that we had some more peanuts, and they was kinda dry, and finally we finished it off with a banana split. After that we didn't have no more money, so we didn't eat no more except when a fel- low treated us to hot fudge sundae and bought us some more peanuts af- 1erward.-New York Sun.

SHE DIDN'T DARE
 TO LEAVE HOUSE
On Verge of Nervous Collapse, Indiana Woman Was Almost
 Helpless.
HER FRIENDS DISHEARTENED
Troubles Disappear When She Takes Tanlac, and Nerves Now Are as Steady as Can Be-General
 Health Splendid

"I was on the verge of a collapse and was actually afraid to leave the house, but am overjoyed now at the way Tanlac has restored my health so perfectly" declared Mrs. Cora NJ. Jackson, 504 Mulberry St., Terre Haute, Ind.
 Il was almost nervous wreck, and at times for anyone to even talk to me upset me completely. Even at night could not get easy and quiet and would lie wide-awake, hardly able to sleep at all, and often just got up out of bed, I was so restless. Nerv- ous headaches often came on me and frequently lasted for days at a time Then l had rheumatism so bad in my joints l was almost helpless. My legs and elbows hurt fearfully and some times l just ached all over. There seemed to be no relief for me, my friends were all worried and I was almost disheartened.
 But, happily for me, one of my friends suggested that I try Tanlac. l never will forget how I began to improve and now think it is wonder full, that I am feeling so well and strong. My nerves are just as steady as can be and I haven't a rheumatic pain about me. I am in just splendid health and wish everybody knew what grand medicine Tanlac is."

AMERICA ASKED
 TO SAVE EUROPE
U. S. URGED TO FIND SOLUTION FOR PROBLEMS CONFRONT
 ING PEOPLE ABROAD.
FRANCE LOOKS TO J. s.
FRENCH DEPUTY SAYS, 1.-THE COMING HOUR IS THE HOUR
 OF AMERICA"
Cwestern Newspaper Union News service.l

Paris, May 26.-An appeal to Amer ca to step in and to find solution Q the European situation was voiced by NJ. Noblemaire in the Chamber of Deputies during discussion of the gov ernment's foreign policy.
 '"The coming hour is the hour of America he said. "She has not signed the treaty, but she has her word to say. Why should not America impose precise conditions for the execution of certain clauses of the treaty, for in stance, separations and disarmament? !? We look to America for the return of normal conditions in Europe"
 Premier Briand, again replying to criticism, said:
 Our program is clear and definite There is no room for discussion. Our decisions are taken and communicated to Germany ; penalties are ready to be enforced.
 'The Reichstag has approved the Wirth cabinet, which has declared it's readiness to fulfill Germany's obliga- tions, and if Germany should attempt to default, France knows what re mains to be done.
 "But I have no right to say in ad- vance that the German government is composed of men who will try to evade their obligations, and have no right to make their task harder.
 I've have before us a debtor who has declared his readiness to pay. We have the necessary strength to act if he does not. l believe it is to Frances honor to act with moderation and await developments"
 The council of ambassadors again took hold of the Silesian question and decided to send a note to Poland, set ting forth Germanys promise to close the Silesian frontier, and asking Pol and to see that her frontier also was tightly shut.
 The council also heard the favorable report of experts regarding execution by Germany of her promise to modify the Diesel motors so as to be service able for industrial uses only and not available for submarines.
 Germany's request to be allowed to retain her anti-tank rifles was re fused.
 The latest plan for the settlement of the Upper Silesian controversy, supposedly a British suggestion, is to give Poland and Germany, respective ly, the communes that voted in their favor at the recent plebiscite, but to hold the entire territory under control of a special commission for thirty years.
 Under the plan this commission would be appointed by the League of Nations, and at the end of the thirty year period the population of the re zion would again be given the oppor- tunity of expressing their wishes.

TIGERS USEFUL IN SUMATRA
Lords of the Jungle Protected for Their Services as Destrcyers

 No. the truth is more prosaic. Truth is always prOsaic
 In Sumatra the tigers are protected because they devour the wild boars, which are great despoilers of the plan tations. The tigers are in way mon- strous cats preying on enormous rats.

 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why SO many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

There Is No Excuse for Runty Pigs. animals, he says, "In the 40 years of my farming and breeding and raising live stock of all kinds do not remem- Der a runt in any class or breed. I have always been a liberal feeder and a good caretaker. Besides, all stock had access to good, fresh water at all times. With this, in addition to good shelter and ventilation, it seems that my young stock would not stop grow ing from the time they were born. Use good judgment in feeding, and don't neglect the details"
 A farmer in Vermont writes, "A well-bred animal well cared for will not produce runts. There is absolute ly no excuse for one in live stock or poultry. By well-bred live stock I mean strong, healthy stock, well taken care of for several generations, and bred for constitution. This has been with rabbits and game fowls, and la ter with sheep, hogs, horses and cat tie. An accident to a well-bred and healthy animal will, if the accident occurs before it reaches maturity, af- feet its size but not its productive capacity. That is, it will not in1u- ence it's ability to produce such young as it would have had if no accident had occurred. Eliminate all females that are not good mothers, and you will soon stamp the whole herd with constitution. Then with care, which means attention and feed, your runts will fail to materialize"
