The Congressman was In q predica-
ment. He said SO last night In ad-
dressing the City Employees Associa-
ton at a smoker In the Perpetual
Building Hall, and he portrayed this
rather intimate picture OF the naked
truth" to illustrate what he meant
when he said that this country was In
q predicament during the war. ,.
He vividly painted a picture OF per-
sonal nudity with the modesty of tho
artist There WAS no sllusion OF
course to an Apollo like form. dinplei
knees and the like. but just a plain
unadorned narration of the rather un-
certain beginnings of the present
statesman.
CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE.
The Congressman was campaig nj ng
for the office OF District Judge when
this "predicament" came upon him.
As he had only one suit OF good
clothes" to his name he carried this
under the seat of his carriage as he
Travelled from town to town. Accord
ing to his story he would stop on the
outskirts of a town to change his
clothes thus saving his good clothes"
from the dust OF travel. While he
was making such a change the horse
became frightened and dashed away
with all his belongings.
Just how Blanton got out of this
predicament was not quite clear, but
In drawing his parallel case he said
patriotism got the nation out OF it's
predicament
The Congressman related many
other intimate things in his talk last
night. He told. for example, that he
was recently given an offer OF $500 a
month to lecture on a lyceum circuit.
Also, he was offered a $4,000 year
job with a business firm.
$500 A YEAR ENOUGH.
But, nothing doing! His life is ito
serve my fellow man. and Congress Is
not going to raise my salary to $4,000
a year. either. No, sir! Any Congress
man who is not willing to work for
$500 a year should quit his job"

Fight Looms Over Move to Get
Breweries on the Prescrip-
ton List.

Beer is likely to be the bone of
between Administration
forces until the end OF the present
This was forecast
today when 1t was learned that the
Attorney General is preparing an
opinion. at the suggestion OF Treas
ury officials, which permits the use
OF beer for jill persons.
ASKED FOR OPINION.
II Is understood that the opinion
will maintain that i'll persons have
as much right TO drink beer for their
health as they have whiskey.
On the other hand. high officials OF
the Prohibition Bureau said that re-
gardless OF the opinion OF the Attor-
ney General. the Prohibition Bureau
would refuse to permit breweries to
make the old-fashioned beverage.
The Attorney General was asked for
an opinion on beer as a result OF much
agitation all over the country to have
beer put on the list OF beverages
that could be prescribed for illness.
The letting down OF the bars on wine,
whereby physicians were permitted TO
prescribe wine in any quantity they
deemed advisable. was seen as fore
cast that beer would also be favored

The Congressman seemed to leave
the impression that money meant
nothing In his life OF public service.
Yet he was not quite satisfied with
the fact that there was time that he
could get a Pullman from Washing
ton TO Texas for $3.50 and now II costs
y21.75.
The Congressman presented himself
as a "friend OF the orkingm8n" and
over everything in general. and
things are pretty much out OF Joint
according 10 his way of figuring. Ho
iayed his enemies and scored news
papers for their criticism, yet he de-
clared:
"Criticism Is helpful have never
yet been criticised but that II has
helped me-"
NEVER "MAD" IN LIFE.
The Congressman, in further di-
agnosing his personal characteristic les.
declared that he was never mad" in
his life time. He characterized his
madness" according to other people.
as natural earnestness and enthus-
iasm.
Unlike his appearance before Local
No. .. Federal Employees Union, sew
eral weeks ago when the meeting
nearly broke up In riot, Blanton
completed his addressed unmolested
last night. He seemed ito be with
the boys and the boys with him" He
told them that they had the greatest
organization OF their kind In the
country and complimented the pres
ident. Joseph II. Hurley.
Following his address Blanton pos
ed on the rostrum with others for a
flashlight picture. The cigars were
then passed around and the Congress
man went home. saying that he gem
orally worked twenty hours out Of
every day so that he could continue
to hold the title "The Watchdog OF
the Treasury" with which the city
Employees Association dubbed him
last night.

I'm in the very best OF health now

what I thought was impossible said
Mrs. John s. Wise, 1926 South Dodge
street. Wichita, Kan.
Seventeen years ago my stomach
trouble began and from that time
until recently, that is until after I
had been taking Tanlac for a while. I
never knew whatsit was TO eat heart
lily without suffering distress after
wards. finally got to the place
where I actually dreaded to go to the
table. I had awful headaches too at
times, and it makes me shudder even
now when I think of it, and there was
nearly always an awful pain across the
small of my back.
Il have regained my full strength
and energy and feel fine all the time.
I have also gotten back the weight I
lost during all my years OF suffering
and am thirty pounds heavier than I
was when I took my first dose of
Tanlac."
Tanlac IS sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co. and leading
druggists everywhere.-Adv.
