BUSINESS MAN
PRAISES TANLAC
Prominent Clifton Citizen De-
cIares Master Medicine
Has Entirely Ended Is
Years Trouble

"When a man suffers from stom-
ach trouble fifteen years and then
finds a medicine that puts him back
in fine health, its time for him to
show his appreciation. That's what
happened to me, and I'm telling
everybody Tanlac is what fixed me
up" This emphatic statement was
made recently by n Of the repre-
sentative business men Of New Jer-
sey, Henry D. Simmons, 919 Lexing-
tC avenue, Clifton, leading ice deal
ers Of that city and operator Of n
of the most modern farms in his
state. He continued:
One day I practically broke down
while delivering ice on a route, and
nearly every house I went to they
gave me something to try to reflex ;
me. But I had to give up and go
home. I had the worst indigestion
a man can have. Something 1t was
gas bloating, heartburn and miser-
able feelings after eating. Then
again it was fearfully acute, and I
was in perfect agony for hours. I
couldn't sleep, was nervous as a colt,
and was just about hopeless.
1.-THE relief I got from Tanlac
from the very start was surprising,
and today I haven't q trace Of my
old troubles. 1 hurt myself lifting
when I was a young man and al
ways had the backache, but this is
going away too. and I can do any
piece of work that hobs up. My ap-
petite is a wonder and you ought to
see me go for food I didn't dare
touch before, though I had the best
there is, on my farm. I can't say
too much for Tanlac, and I will new
er be without it,"
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
gists.-adv.

American Legion will conclude its
sessions here today following the
nearing Of reports OF several COM
mittees and the election of the next
commander-in-chief to succeed
Hanford MacNider and the selection

a race between william T. Deegan,
Of New York; James r. McQuigg.
a former adjutant general of Ohio,
and Alvin M. Owsley, of Texas.
Joseph H. Thompson, of Pennsyl-
vania, who in a previous statement
denied he was a candidate for the
office, was last night said to have
thrown his hat in the ring. His sup
porters claim he is the second choice
Of the Deegan people but this is
stoutly denied by them. The repre-
~sentatives of eight OF the veterans
Of allied nations today made their
plea to the American Legion to help
them end war for all time.
Their spokesman was j. B. B.
Cohen, of Great Britain, former
major who lost both legs. He laid
before the Legion the eight points"
upon which the wounded veterans
Of the ~interallied federation have
agreed to pin their faith Of ending
war:
L. That all international agree

Europe's Short-Sighted Policy.

The American state department serves
notice on Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium
and Japan that the United States is not going
to be drawn into debate over debt juggling or
the merits of single double entry bookkeep-
ing in our claims for American army upkeep
on the Rhine in Germany. We have presented
our bill with the request that it be paid. Why
should be drawn into any such discussion?
America has wanted to withdraw her troops
from the start. On the insistence and pleas OF
our former allies kept the troops there be-
cause they wanted them in the name and in
terest of allied solidarity. From the beginning
there has been American pressure to bring the
troops home. This was a factor in the 1920
campaign, and their removal was pledged by the
Harding administration. Allied urgings have
kept the troops on the Rhine against the
American will.
Maintenance of troops in an occupied
country has priority, a first mortgage and a
prior lien over all other claims. International
law has plenty of such precedents. At the
present time the expenses of the troops of
Great Britain, France and Belgium are met
from German payments before gold mark is
set aside for any other form of reparations
Their claims do not wait, in spite of the fact
that we also are doing police duty on the Rhine
1t amounts to bad faith the part of our war
associates. American troops were left in Ger
many on the plain promise and understanding
that they would be maintained by funds handed
over by Germany to the allies. The allies have
taken the funds, aided themselves ignored u.s.
If they did not want the troops and were not
willing they should be maintained at the cost
of Germanys payments to a common fund
they should have said much three years ago.
We are in this matter, feeling the resent
ment that Europe nurses against US for refus-
ing to enter the league, sign the treaty of YER
sailles and to put our man power, money and
resources at old world disposal for its recon
struction and readjustment. 1t began when we
failed to sign the treaty of Versailles; and the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. alliance was inhamed
when we made separate peace with the central
powers and stirred again recently when we re-
fused to go chasing political will o. the wisps
at Genoa Resentment, however, is a two
handed game. This debt lodging and breach
of faith on the part OF our late allies nations
whom We have aided by keeping troops on the
Rhine, will aggravate the prejudice and deepen
the resentment and distrust of all things
European that is never far under the surface
in America If this is a move TO force us to
help in executing the Versailles treaty it is
bad one. If the allies think more of s941 o0o-
600 than of keeping their word and their faith,
then their international morals and their bus
mess and political judgment are hopeless. Do
they want US to go directly to Germany and
muddle the reparations muddle even more than
1t is now muddled? Our late allies in this mat
ter are treating US like unto a stepchild.

What People Fall For.

The current issue of the Illinois Manufac-
turers' News contains a number of prize stor-
les, based on bona fde experiences the writers
had in lines of investments. The stories are
very interesting and the News prints them as
samples true 10 life of the manner in which
people get rid of their money in get-rich quick
speculations. In the first prize story a man
tells how he invested all that he had in GER
tain enterprise in which he was induced to in
vest by an oily agent. Ali that the investor
had to show for his money were some stock
certificates. The other two stories were along
the same line, the investments being different
in character One was in oil property and the
other was in so-called factory. But the strong
point is that each one of the writer's admits
that he was induced to sign without giving the
matter personal examination The word of the
agent was taken for the truth. All three tell
how they found vacant Offices when they really
did begin to investigate All three admit they
might have saved themselves before investment

had they made proper inquiry. One philos-
ophizes in that he should have invested $500
simply on the representations of man he had
never met before, about whom he knew nothing.
and without going further to ascertain whether
the individual telling the truth
Investment without personal investigation,
the stories show, is dangerous. In one of the
stories the agent is a trusted friend, a man
the victim would have believed under most any
circumstances, and who induced him to sign,
but subsequently showed little concern over the
loss. We refer to these stories because at this
office are often received the circulars of these
investment concerns, painting in glowing terms
what chance there is for great profits. Inves-
tigation into two of these recently showed that
both were proceeding contrary to the laws of
the state. The Manufacturers News emphasizes
the importance of inquiry. Here in Rock Island
the chamber of commerce will application
investigate for any citizen the merits of any
enterprise which is soliciting investment. The
Argus advises citizens, due to the multiplicity
of these schemes. to be cautious and to make
investigation, and if the agent is an honest man
he will not object to his enterprise being sub
jected to the most careful scrutiny.
