I just think Tanlac is the greatest

praise it enough for what it's done
for me.
For two years / was in a badly
rundown condition | had no appe-
tite, and after every meal | would be
in awful distress from indigestion and
bl ating My nerves were on edge,
and / could never get a good nights
sleep. / felt tired and wornout all
the time, was losing weight, and
many times / was so weak / couldn't
look after my homework. Ijust felt
miserable.
ETanlac helped one Of my friends
s. much that ! began taking it and
it has certainly built me up into
splendid health. My appetite is so
big ! can hardly get enough to eat
now, and I am never troubled a par
ticle with bloating or indigestion. My
nerves r as steady as clockwork,
and ! sleep like a child at night, I
have recovered my strength and am
just brimful Of new life and energy.
In fact, I feel better than / have In
years. My gratitude towards Tanlac
is unbounded."

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27.--
Whether beer is medicine is to be de-
.cided by congress shortly in the course
of a spectacular contest between the
drys and the vets which will deter
mine whether the prohibition lid is to
be clamped down as tightly as is de-
sired by the Anti-Saloon league.
The drys, accounting this congress
even dryer than the last believe the
.skids are safely CREASED for the pas
sage of the new Volstead bill pro-
hibiting the use Of beer for medical
purposes, suspending importation and
manufacture Of liquors for any pur-
pose until the present surplus is ex-
hausted, and otherwise Tightening up
prohibition regulations.

HAASLIEBER CO.

GROCERY MERGER

A consolidation of the three largest
grocery companies in Missouri was an
ooneed recently when a deal was
elosed by which the Scudders-Ga Gale
Grocery Company, becomes a part of
the combination of the Amos-James
Grocery Company and the Haas-Lieb-
or Grocery Company. The transac-
lion involves approximately $75O,O0O.
The three companies will be n
yolidated into a holding company
temporarily known as the Amos
James-Lieber Company, but the name
VIII be changed as soon as a more suit
able and shorter one can be decided
upon. The capital of the company will
be 100000.
The merging of the three compan-
les, taking into account their branches
and other affiliations, will give the
new combination a sales volume which
will amount to about $4,000 900,
placing 1t in rank. with the largest
wholesale grocery companies in the
United States.
Ross Wagner, manager of the local
branch Of Haas-Lieber, when inter-
viewed Saturday morning, said that
the consolidation would not affect the
Mexico branch in any important way.
1t would, he said, only increase the
buying capacity and the sales volume
and give a new impetus to their bus
mess.
