GAVE HER NEW (
LEASE ON LIFE
This Is How Bennington
Woman Feels Since Tan
lac Overcame
Troubles =

Its hard to tell which one of us, my
husband or myself. is the most enthusiast
tic about Tanlac. as it has been such a
wonderful help to both of Us, said Mrs.
A. II. Sweet, whose home is at the corner
of School and County streets, Bennington,
VT.
''I had been going down hill about six
months as a result of an awful form OF
stomach trouble. Only those who have
had indigestion know what | suffered.
After every meal l had heartburn and a
choking sensation as a result of gas form
ing on my stomach, pains i'm my neck and
back and sometimes awful dizzy spells. L
don't believe anybody was ever more ner-
vous than / was either.
My husband had been ailing for some
time, too, so we started taking Tanlac
together. 1t had the same effect on each
of us and we both kept on improving
until we were in perfect health and have
remained that way ever since. My hus-
band says he feels years younger and his
looks certainly bear out the statement.
As for myself.-I feel that | have been
given a new lease Of life. l like to talk
about Tanlac and l feel that nothing L
could say would be half good enough"

Gas Masks Used

Medford, Or, JAM Sex service
men equipped with gas masks used
in the big war, aided the local fire
department last night in putting
out fire in the Garnett Corey Of
flee building which resulted in an
estimated S25,00O loss largely COW
cred by insurance. The fire started
in the basement and because of the
density of the smoke the source
could not be located for some time.
The fire department as having a
hard struggle when a dozen ex-
service men hurried to their homes,
secured their gas masks and led
the way through the smoke to the
center of the trouble. Few Of them
were otherwise equipped for fire
fighting and ten perfectly good
suits were ruined as a consequence.

WaIIowa County Man
Succeeds Riddle On
State Highway Board

Jay H. Dobbin, Wallowa count!
rancher and stockman, was named
| by Governor Olcott this morning a!
a member of the state highway
commission from the eastern Ore
gon district to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Ed e. Kid
die of Island City last week. The
governor expressed the hope thai
Dobbin would accept the pest al
though admitting that the latter's
wishes had never been consulted in
the matter.
The selection of Dobbin followed
a thre hours conference here Sat.
urday between the governor, r. A
Booth, chairman, and John Yeen
member of the highway commits
sion. Dobbin's name was not in
cluded in the list of ten candidates
whose friends were flooding the ex-
ecutive office with kilograms and
letters of recommendation.
These included william Pollman
of Baker, David H. Nelson of Pen
dleton, Thomas Mccain of Bend,
Frank B. Ingles of Dufur, william
Hanley of Burns, Mark A. Mayer
of Mosier, f. ID. McCully of Joseph,
Leslie Butler of Hood River, w. B.
Barrett of Heppner and j. w. DON
nelly of Arlington.
''It was a most difficult appoint
ment to make-I might say the
most difficult perhaps that has yet
come before me-" the governor
stated this morning in commenting
on the appointment of Dobbin
THE names considered were many
and embraced the very best avail
able timber in eastern Oregon. Mr..
Dobbin was not a candidate nor
had anyone called his name to our
attention. His name was arrived
at by process of elimination. We
took the map of the state and fig
uratively went into every commun-
ity of eastern Oregon and mentally
assayed its available timber.
"Mr. Dobbin is one of the proml-
nent figures of that section of the
state and one of its largest farmers
and stockgrowers. Besides his
large ranch and stock interests ne
is connected with Joseph and Enter
prise banking institutions. He serv-
ed in the legislatures of 1906 and
1907 as representative from Union
and Wallowa counties. He is now
his second term as presi-
dent Of the Oregon Wool Growers
association and is a man of indie
pendent means amassed through
the good old-fashIoed method of
thrift, hard work and long hours
He is of the progressive type and
has always been prominently ident-
flied with the advancement of his
and state.
"One consideration taken into
account with his selection was the
fact of his prominent connection
with agriculture. There has been
some criticism voiced in the past
that this important industry hac
not received its proper recognition
by representation on the highway
commission. Mr.. Kiddle represent
ed them in a way. however. as the
nature of his business brought him
In more or-less close touch with it.
