This year A. H S. contestants are

first experience with the treatment
several years ago. l had suffered for
a number of years with what call
malariaI rheumatism. The joints of
my elbows and also my finger joints
would get so sore and stiff it was
agony to bend them. Ny legs felt
weak at times, my kidneys were bad,
too, and l had very little appetite.
In fact, I was altogether in very
shaky condition.
Some friends told me of the good
results they had received from Tan
lac, so I began taking the treatment
myself, and in a short time began to
pick right up. After taking three
or four bottles. could eat like a
horse and the backacne and the stiff
ness and pain in my joints, all went
away. My blood seemed to clear up,
too, and my kidneys got more regular
In fact Tanlac. fixed me up in good
shape and as l said, have taken it
every Spring as a safe guard. don't
believe anyone with troubles similar
to what had can go wrong by
taking Tanlac."
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug
gists. Accept no substitute. Over

Rev. Carpenter pledged his best

A report of activities for the year

have been added to the rolls Of the
Des Moines body since the last in
stallation Of officers.
The new Past Exalted Cyclops was
presented with a beautiful gift by
his fellow workers as an expression
Of appreciation Of. and accord with
his administration. The recipient
thanked his fellows and offered his
services in the future just as dili-
gently as he had given them while
heading the local body.

NO ROOM FOR THE KLAN

"There was no room for Jesus and
His Holy Parents in the inn. Today
there is said to be no room for the
Khan in America. It has been ma
ligned, prosecuted and misunderstood.
AS Herod tried to kill the babe in
the swaddling clothes, so the enc
mics have tried to kill the Khan.
"When will Christianity fail and
when will it pass off the stage of his
tory? Never, because the principles
Of this noble religion are abiding,
life-giving and spiritual.
"When will the Klan be dead and
when will it cease to exist? Never,
so long as it stands for 100 per cent
Americanism, as it supports the Con-
stitution of the United States, and
as it stands for truth and righteous
ness" ..

HAND IT TO Them

The St. Cloud (Minn.) police put
every gambling device conducted by
travelling show out of business last
week. That is the way to hand it to
the so-called carnivals and other
travelling shows that infest many
communities at this time of the year.
St. Cloud is to be congratulated on
having public officials with backbone
enough to make a move like this.
Identically the same treatment
should be received by any church,
lodge or other organization that tries
to make money by gambling devices
Of any kind. Law evasion by such
interests, which could reasonably be
expected to observe the law, contrib
ute largely to the prevailing contempt
for law that is so evident with en-
tirely too many.

TELLS WHY NEWSPAPERS ARE
NFIGHTING KHAN.

Rev. Oscar Haywood, recently as.
sailed and mobbed in New Jersey fol
speaking in behalf of Khan princi.
pies, says that the big Newspapers Of
the country and professional politi.
clans are generally the enemies Of
the Khan and gives his reasons as
follows: ..
"The two popular enemies of the
Klan are the professional politicians
and the majority of the big news
papers," he says. "The politicians
are opposed because they fear any
social force that is in a position to
lplay an Independent hand, particu-
larly if that force is a secret force
All the governors and others active
in state-craft who. have spoken
against the Klan are politicians, not
statesmen.
"The newspapers oppose the Khan
for two reasons. The first is an in
herent appreciation of news values,
and assailing the Klan affords the
newspapers more occasion for the
creation of news than any other or
ganhation in the country. The Sec
ond reason is because of conspiracy
outside the councils and ranks of
newspaper people against the Klan.
This conspiracy controls a tremen-
dous newspaper influence"

whom the courage Of everlasting life
runs still, deep and strong; men who
know their message and tell it; men
who know their place and fill it; men
who know their business and attend
to it; men who will not lie, shirk or
dodge; men who are not too lazy to
work, nor too proud to be poor;
men VIII are willing to eat what they
have earned and wear what they
have paid for; men who are not
ashamed to say "No" with emphasis
and who are not ashamed to say, II
can't afford it"-Selected.

I am the city Judge of this place
and have had the most desperate
gang of whisky criminals in the state
to deal with, but now we scarcely
have a crime or drunk. I enforced
the law and punished by Jail sem

necessary remedy; so, when you hear
it said that the whisky traffic cannot
be regulated or controlled, send them

The trouble is that officers are not
