"After seeing the wonderful results my husband obtained from Tanlac. l began taking the medicine myself, ana now we both agree that 1t IS the grandest medicine on earth, said Mrs. Nancy Sharp, a prominent and highly esteemed resident of Los Angeles, Calif.. living at ,921 Camulus street, whose husband is proprietor Of the Merchants Express company.
 During the 12 years that l suf- fered with indigestion and stomach Trouble I tried nearly every medicine | heard about, but nothing helped me and I lost faith in everything. So, my i wonderful restoration to health has been one of the greatest surprises of my life.
 ' q began to feel an improvement on finishing my second bottle of Tanlac, and now after taking six bottles am like a new woman. l have splendid appetite, eat three hearty meals day, enjoy them thoroughly and am never troubled in the least with indigestion or any other disagreeable after ef- fects.
 Before taking Tan1ac most every thing ate caused my stomach to l rebel and I would suffer for hours afterwards. was so dreadfully nervous that many nights I never closed my eyes in sleep, but now am not the least nervous, and sleep like child. My strength has been wonderfully increased. and I have much more energy.

STILL JOCKEYING
 WITH SOLDIERS BONUS

Washington, December 31-(Special)- | The ''jocleying" with the soldiers bonus which featured the closing days of the | preceding session, has apparently been resumed. As in those days which mn mediately preceded the election, the re- publicans displayed the greatest interest in the soldiers, but did not transform that interest into action, in the present ] they are getting busy with the OUTLOOK
 dismal for the completion of the work. The strategy of the republicans seems to be to force the democratic admins 1 tration to prove the impracticaoin'y oi a soldiers bonus and to assume posi- ton against it. The Secretary of the 1 Treasury, David F. Houston, has not | only presented the proof, but has declared his unalterable opposition. It is his con 1 tention that the granting of bonuF would entail burden of $2,S00 00o,ooo on 1 the already distressed taxpayers of the country, and it is probable that the afore- ! said taxpayers will proceed to protest. | The argument of the soldiers has been 1 that whereas government clerks dis charged very necessary duties during the war, and were entitled to bonus or S240. their duties were not more necessary 1 than the soldiers, and infinitely less dan gerous; and that in consequence the soi- l diers should be rewarded as the clerks were rewarded. In this connection the clerks, with the prospect of the soldiers 1 very gloomy, indeed, are going about with the assistance of the American Fed eration of Labor, in a campaign to make the bonus of $240 permanent. The clerks today, through their executive officers, declare in formal statement that the campaign will be successful, and that for | their confidence they have the words of 'the leaders of Congress-
 1 The Lehlbach bill, which bends, would do away with the clerks bonus by mak- | ing it a permanent addition to their sal aries The opposition contends that with ! the increased salaries the clerks very
 soon would demand a bonus. However
 this may be, the indications are that the clerks will succeed, whereas the soldiers will fail.

Washington, December T.-(Special')- nresent programme, 5000 army officers will be thrown out of employment on March 4.
 President Wilson has sent that many names to Congress. The republicans in innate that they will not confirm them. No executive session of the Senate has bean held. When some days ago Senator Fletcher moved that these officers be confirmed, the republicans souelched the Floridian by the simple announcement that they were not pre- pared to hold an executive session.
 The officers served their country during the war. Following the war thev were invited to remain in the ser vice. All of them stood examinations and were passed upon by General Pershing. Expecting to continue in the army, they gave up former avoca- tions and businesses, and declined, Tn many instances, lucrative offers. And now, unless they are confirmed
