Consideration Say
Leaders of Coming
Administration

Washington, Feb. 25.-A new
plan for enforcement of prohibi-
ton is being discussed among re-
publican leaders as a prospective
policy of the Harding administra-
ton. 1t contemplates abolishing
the present dual enforcement ma
chinery Of the treasury and JUS

full responsibility and authority in
the attorney general.
Whether the plan contemplates
retention of a federal prohibition
commissioner apparently has not
been definitely determined. 1t is
understood, however, that all state
prohibition enforcement agents
would be dispensed with and the
prohibition enforcement work left
to the department of justice, thru
states district attorneys and their
assistants.

SAYS WARREN
Mitchell Insurance Man
After Suffering Ten Years
Is Restored To Perfect
Health

IT feeli is time for me to speak out
about Tan1acN for it not only relieved
me after I had suffered for ten years
but it made me gain thirty pounds
and has kept me in the best Of health
for two years" said G. e. Warren, 712
West. Fourth Street, Mitchell, 8. D..
wel1-known insurance man.
my trouble began with Indigestion
and after a while my whole system
seemed to go wrong, Ny appetite was
poor, and although I was careful
about what I ate I suffered misery
after every meal. At times I had
dizzy spells and would have to grab
something to keep from falling. I was
so nervous that I got little rest by
day or night and was going down hill
all the time.
ST never saw anything to equal the
Improvement that Tanlac made i'm
me, for in a few weeks after I began
taking it I was restored to perfect
health. I eat, sleep and feel better
than I have in years and I have so
improved in appearance that my
friends all comment on it and want
to know what I have been taking to
make such q change. I am glad to
tell them It was Tanlac."

Wedding "Sparklers"
Prove Boomerang

1t appeared this morning that sew
eral local people, who yesterday
thought they had made a killing by
purchasing a "sparkler'' from a sup
posedly down-and-outer, who in his
extremity was willing to part with his
mothers diamond ring for a mere
nothing, were sadly disillusioned this
morning when said individual was
apprehended by the local police and
charged with getting money under
false p%retenses.
After drinking a sufficient quantity
of sweet spirits Of nitre, to make his
story gullible, James Dunlap, a
transient, would approach a likely
victim and tell a hard luck yarn, at
the same time flashing a brilliant
"sparkler' which could be purchased
for 81 a dozen, but readily sold for
$12 or SIS each. Several awaited
themselves of the bargain to their
sorrow.
Mr.. Dunlap pleaded guilty in the
municipal court here this morning
and was given 20 days in the county
Jail at Crookston by Judge D. j. Nc
Donald.
According to testimony in the court
this morning, Mr.. Dunlap had an ac-
complete. who is still at large and is
being sought by the police.
