 About a year ago l began suffer. Ing from lack of appetite and stomach trouble and since that time-that is, until Tanlac set me right-I have felt so poorly that I could hardly do my work. My food seemed to do me little E<cd, if any, as my digestion was bad, nd l lost both weight and strength sntinually.
 "After every meal there was dull, tagging pain in the pit of my stomach mat kept me feeling miserable for lours.
 ''The gas from my sour, undigested food would bloat me up terribly and my nerves were so upset that 1 would lie awake half the night unable to sleep. 1 was constantly having blind ing dizzy spells and could not bend over and straighten u quickly but what everything seemed as dark as light to me.
 "1 was telling a k.<end one day how bad felt and he advised me to try fanlac and I just want to say he couldn't have done me greater kind ness.
 "I have picked up an of fifteen pounds in weight, my appetite is fine. and although I am eating just any thing I want my stomach never gives me particle of trouble.

NEW YORK CENTRAL TRAIN HITS MICHIGAN CENTRAL WHILE
 DERAlLED.
IS WORST WRECK IN YEARS
Towerman Arrested immediately Al. ter Wreck, Charged With Failure To Open a Swltch-local Fire
 men Guard Wreckage.

Porter, Ind.-Between 30 and 40 persons were killed and an unknown number injured when a westbOund derailed eastbound Michigan Central train here in what railroad officials say is one of the most disastrous wrecks in recent years. Michigan Central of. ficials placed the number of dead at more than 3O," while unofficial re- ports made the deSth list as hign as 50
 The towerman of the Michigan Gen. tral was arrested immediately after the wreck, officials saying they be. lieved he had left switch closed, causing the derailment of the east bound train.
 The Michigan Central train left Chicago at 5:05 D. m. bound for To ronto, Canada. It was cut in half by the westbound flyer, and both en- zines plunged down all empankment.
 Claude Johnson of Elkhart, Ind. engineer of the New York Central train was killed, as was his fireman. Five bodies were recovered near the debris of the two engines. Fifteen bodies were recovered within a few hours after the wreck.
 It Is believed that virtually all of the dead were in two of the Michi- gan Central coaches which were de- molished when the New York Central train hit it. The only dead known on the New York Central train were the two enginemen. The engineer of the Michigan Central is missing. It was reported that he leaped from his cab when he saw the oneoming New York Central tram.
 The tracks of the two railroads in. tersect here at sharp angle, being almost parallel. The Michigan Cen. tral train was believed to have start. ed across the intersection and then to have derailed. The towerman was blamed by railroad ofcials for allow, ing the Michigan Central tram to at. tempt to cross ahead of the westbound train. s-s There was danger of fire in tlHs wreckage. but the local Fire Depart. ment kept stream of water playing over the mass of twisted wreckage.
 The few persons living in this june tion point immediately began the work of rescue, using lanterns in their search for dead and injured. Re lief trains arrived from Michigan City and Chicago about an hour after the wreck, carrying nurses and doctors. to Michigan City.
