MARKET MAN IS
OVER TROUBLES
Before Taking Tanlac Scott
Had Suffered Almost Daily
From Indigestion

r. T. Scott, proprietor OF Scott's
market in the Economy public market
Mt the corner of Third and Main
streets. Los Angeles, is n OF the lat
est to testify to the remarkable recon
structive powers of Taniac. Mr.. Scott
lives at 4425 North GEffen avenue.
HIS statement follows:
II had always enjoyed good health
up to about n year ago, The my stom'
ach got out of order n since then
I have been bothered day in and day
out with an awful case OF indigestion.
I lost my appetite and some days ]
wouldn't eat a single meal for l
dreaded the misery / would be in II
I did. I would hav an awful heavy.
~disagreeable feeling that would last
sometimes for hours I never felt fit
for work. and was getting 50 weak and
run down that I was beginning to
wonder where It would end.
But Tanlac just fit my Ease ex-
actly. and I felt so much better after
finishing the first bottle hat I bought
the second, and by the time that was
gone I didn't have a sign of stomach
trouble. Ny appetite came back in full
force, and from then until now
have been, eating anything l want and
It never bothers me at all. / am In
fine health now. in fact, don't believe
I ever felt better"

OUR DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.

We are entertaining the grand lodge of Wyoming
Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs. The delegates come
from all over the state and number among them the
leading men and women from many communities.
Their order is one of the greatest in the world and
ha5 performed a wonderful work for good wherever
it has been established. Casper is, indeed, pleased
to welcome these men and women and make their
stay pleasant.
There is much important work in connection with
the gathering, but time is always taken for the social
side and the visitors will find hospitality extended
wherever they go, and will see much to interest them
in this busy and rapidly growing city.
The badge of the order is the passport in Casper,
where the membership is large and made up of SPLEEN
did citizens, while the friends of the order for this &C.
casion numbers all of our twenty thousand.
1t is hoped that the strangers within our gates will
be SO well pleased with their sojourn that they will
come again.

THE DRIVER.

Complaints are constantly heard of reckless auto
mobile driving in various parts of the city, beyond
the patrol of the police force. Accidents are of fire.
quent occurrence, and narrow escapes are still more
frequent events. The reckless driver and the speed
maniac are difficult birds to handle. There is only
one means at hand to inspire respect for the rights of
others and minimize the danger of needless drivers
and that is arrest and fine. Sometimes it teaches a
wholesome lesson and sometimes it fails. Police courts
will have to make the fines as stiff as the law per-
mlts and throw in a jail sentence as a deterrant to
a repetition of the offense.
Not until there is written in the ordinances of the
city a complete new system Of regulation of automo-
biies and drastic penalties for disobeying its provi-
sions will the danger from thoughtless and irrespon-
sible driving be removed.
There is a percentage of drivers who will not con-
form to reasonable things. These are the ones who
make the trouble. A way should be found to either
reform them or forbid them the use of the city
streets.

ARE WE Tagging?

Motorists who have occasion to do considerable
driving over Wyoming say that the roads OF Natrona
county are in worse repair and rougher than they
have been in recent years. 1t is noticeable because
local roads previous to the present season have been
in remarkably good repair. Last year for instance
those who travelled were loud in their praise of Ma
trona county roads. 1t was said that it was easy to
know when once came to the Natrona county line by
the excellent condition of the roads.
This season, from all reports, the reverse is true.
Roads will certainly not take care of themselves.
They require maintenance and sometimes lots of it
The original investment in a good road is often wasted
by the failure to give it proper attention when in
need of small repairs, but neglected as Natrona
season our boosted good roads of a year since are
impossible.
Is Natrona county going to fall behind in the good
roads procession? Is it her intention to fail to pro-
vide for the ever increasing traffic over her public
roads? Must her roads always be designated as
bad rough" very rough" in the road maps and
logs of motorists?
How long will the stream of tourist travel, which
has been invited and urged to come and go via Cas-
per, continue, if the roads over which they travel
contribute to their discomfort and endanger their
cars? Tourist travel is notorious for nosing out the
best roads, in the country, do we want them to avoid
Natrona county? If we do then We have taken the
proper course, by n%eglecting our county roads.
And again what about our own tremendous invest
ment in trucks and automobiles and the important in
dustries they serve in the way of transportation?
These machines require good roads to travel upon and
the upkeep occasioned by poor and i'll kept roads
reaches an appalling figure.
Natrona should not and must not lag behind in the
public pecessity-good roads.

PRICE TRENDS.

In its regular monthly circular to its correspond
ents and clients the National City Bank says:
That prices have a psychological aspect, as we'll
as physical, was never better illustrated than at the
present moment. The high peak reached during the
war, followed by the very drastic reductions in many
commodities, has stimulated a state of mind which.
expectant Of still further reductions all along the
line, occasions that degree of purchase described as
"hsnd-tc-mouth." Everybody defers as long as pos
sible the purchase of everything possible. The result
Is felt in every field of business.
while it is clear that the prices of MANY nrodurts
have now reached rock bottom, the situation we are
at present experiencing only serves to emphasize more
vigorously the necessity for establishing equilibrium,
on a stable price basis, between finished products on
one hand and raw products on the other.
The Bureau of Statistics of the department of la
Dor, IN Its report for May, shows that commodity
prices during that month declined 1.9 per cent, leav-
ing the index number 44h per cent below the bu-
reaus peak price IN May a year ago, but still 81 per
cent above the 1918 average. Foodstufs. with a de-.
cine OF 1914 per cent from the peak showed the
greatest drop, and fuel and lighting materials, with
a downward movement of 17h per cent, showed the
frmest resistance to decline"

of obtaining this vast sum, it must come from the
earnings Of the people in the form Of taxation The
burden is well nigh uncomfortable, and the demand for
relief is heard upon every hand To add five billions
more to the present burden is out of the question IN
til the people have opportunity to somewhat recover
from the strain already undergone
There would be no one who would deny the veter-
ans of the war proper and adequate compensation in
whatever form that may be determined most desir-
able. There is no one. including the veterans them
selves, who would desire to plunge their country hope
lessly in debt with no means in sight TO pay the
debts. The veterans are young in years and can well
afford to await the future time of financial recovery.
The American people have never been found dere-
lct in ~rewarding their defenders. They will not be
now, but it would be wrong to press the reward I'M
der present circumstances. Whether it should be a
cash bonus is still a grave question with many. 1t
savors too strongly Of measuring the performance of
the highest duties of citizenship in dollars. 1t would
be less repulsive if the reward took some e~ndowmen
or installment form, to be distribted over a period of
time. Such 4 plan would afford the government bet
ter opportunity to finance the obligation and in the
end would be of higher value to the veteran.
The secretary of the treasury has pointed out to
the senate the necessity of postponement of imme-
diate action and the dangers of renewed initiation, in
creased commodity prices and unsettled business con-
ditions. The president has added his warning. It re-
mains to be seen whether the senate will brave an
e~ecutive veto in order to play a little politics.
We are still a government devoted to the greatest
good to the greatest number. The bonus bill should
be postponed to a more p%ropitious time.

A CANDY.

They have a new one out on the Pacific oast-old
Crow eholoeates-you don't drink them, you eat them.
They are enjoying a tremendous sale. Volstead
sleuths are after the candy factory and the retail
ersv but can get no action Everybody's favorite
brand is Old Crow chocolates which can be bought
openly and in any quantity desired. Dozens of chem
lists have analysed the candy and all obtain the same
result-fve per cent alcohol by volume. The en-
forcement officers are nonplussed.
Candy, you know, is not a beverage. 1t is a food.
The Volstead act does not bar alcoholic foods. The
manufacturer frankly admits that the filling of the
chocolates is largely made from Jamaica rum extract,
which he points out is not taboo under the prohibi-
ton rulings unless sold for beverage purposes. Which
being true and the candy maker being in the clear.
what can be done about it.
1t may take a little more time, so gentlemen, who
have lately formed the candy habit, report, but there
is no question about the kick not the satisfactory jag
ultimately obtained.
1t is perfectly legal to ship chocolates anywhere,
and a large mail order patronage has been developed.
All OF which simply proves that it is a pretty diff
fcult matter to legislate some things into some peo-
pie who don't want to have it done.

NO NEW LIABILITIES.

4 There is only one thing to do with the proposition
eof a bonus to boys who served in the world war and
that is to defer action until the fiscal affairs OF the
country are in condition to meet the payments such
a move will entail. A bill providing for a cash bonus
TO veterans has passed the lower house of congress
and is now pending IN the senate. It is estimated
that it will require more than FIVE billions of dollars
to meet the cash payments to soldiers, exclusive of
the costs of administration. The country's revenues
are in no condition to stand such a strain at the pres
ent time. We are scarcely out of a war that cost
some t~wenty-six billions of dollars all of which was
taken from the substance of tie people. To liqui-
date the extravagances and wastes of war and the
costs of government during war and reconstruction
from the effects of war, requires approximately five
billions Of dollars annually. There is no royal means

R T SKIRT.

The Rev. DR.. Straton, the eminent New York d.
vine, is constantly doing things to attract public at
tention. II it is not causing uneasiness to cafe pro-
prietors who slip their customers drinks when the
prohibition sleuths are not looking, it is making the
dancing masters almost sad because they are COM
PEELED to teach the modern dances. Lately he has
launched into a criticism of women's summer dress
and the newspapers have had more or less fun out of
the doctors lectures. The Detroit Free Press adds
the following to the general comment:
THE news of the day credits Rev. John Roach
Straton, a New York Baptist clergyman, with a
sprightly pulpit versjication which runs in this wise:
Mary had a iitile skirt,
The latest style, no doubt
But every time she got inside
She was more than halfway out.
Very neat-we mean the verse-though apparent
ly the skirt is equally short and sweet.
"But our object is not to eulcgize genius whether
in the poet or the dressmaker. Our aim at this mo-
ment is to remind the world that the Rev. Mr.. Straton
is not the first gentleman of the cloth who has broken
into song in his pulpit, taking for his theme the wiles
and styles of the female of the species. At a period
not over remote, a parson who occupied a pulpit some
where in the Middle West, just where we cannot now
recollect, was moved to address his congregation in
words that went about, though perhaps not precisely,
like this:
Little girl. you are so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Just your shimmy shirt and hose
Don't you wear no underclothes?
Experts probably can tell how far this little gem
antedates the present by the fact that the reverend
gentleman was uncertain whether the subject of his
effusion wore Undertaking. Nowadays nobody with
eyes can long be in doubt on such a point

THE STUMBLING BLOCK.

There is but one opinion on the part of the neo-
PIE and press OF the country as to legislative relief
from congress as between taxation and tariff. The
necessary Tor protective tariff is acknowledged, but it
should nave been deferred until taxation adjustment
had been made. Each day adds to the dissatisfaction
ana clamor. The Minneapolis Journal contribute
TINS upon the subject: "Tariff-making is slow bust.
ness Inc senate will spend three or four months at
It, at least, and the houses must then come to an
agreement. 1t will be November at best before the
oil goes to Mr.. Harding. If tax reform has to wait
10 turn, the years business will all have been done
and the books closed, before the taxpayers know what
taxes they will have to pay. The influence of This
SITUATION Is bound to be Oppressive, and the longer the
delay, the greater the depression caused"

TWO LOCAL
 BOYS GIVEN
 LIFE TERMS

Roland G. Devine and James Me- Dowell. both of Bridgeport, and both of whom have police records here, were sentenced to the state prison for life yesterday, in the New Haven county criminal superior court, for the killing of Valentine Landa' an Ansonia saloon keeper. The pair pleaded guilty to murder in the sec ond degree.
 The killing occurred September 20, when Devine and Mcdowell entered IIanda's saloon and held Up the pro prietor and a number of customers at the point of revolvers. They opened fire on Landa and the man died al- most instantly.
 The pair fled into the street, where Mcdowell was struck by an automo- bile and captured after a thrilling chase and gun battle. Devine was ar rested later in the day in a furnished room in Derby.
