The doctors tell us that 80 per
cent of all sickness is due to stom-
ach and bowel troubles. You can't
be well il your digestion is bad;
you are likely to get sick unless you
relish food and digest it properly.
Tanlac has q wonderful record
as relief from digestive troubles,
ever. those of years standing.

no end to what / can eat-and no
sign of indigestion, gas, headaches
or any other trouble. Now my work
is not wearing on me-"
If you suffer from gas, pains in
the stomach or bowels, dizziness,
nausea, constipation, or torpid
liver; If you have no appetite, can't
sleep and are nervous and all run
down, you need Tanlac. 1t is good,

your druggist today. Money back
if it doesn't help you.

ASK ALL BANKS To
CURB Speculation
Federal Advisory Council Ap-
proves Stand Of Reserve System

Washington, Feb. 16 R>-Coopera-
tioh by all banks that are members
of the federal reserve system in an
effort to prevent the use Of federal
reserve credit for speculative pur-
poses has been suggested by the
federal advisory council.
This proposal was made by the
council at the end of a two-day SEES
sion here at which the action Of the
federal reserve board when it issued
q sharp warning against speculation
was warmly endorsed.
The federal advisory council Is
composed of one member from each
federal reserve district and 1t acts
in an advisory capacity to the board,
having the power to recommend
changes in the discount rate. Its
action was taken to mean that SEN
timent for curbing of speculation
had crystallized in the federal re-
serve system and that further steps
toward that end might be expected.
The board already has warned that

thought necessary.
The statement issued by the adj
visory council said:
THE federal advisory council ap-
proves the action Of the federal re-
serve board in instructing the fed
eral reserve banks to prevent a. far
a. possible the diversion Of federal
reserve funds for the purpose OF
carrying loans based on securities.
The federal advisory council sug-
gests that all member banks in each
district be asked directly by the fed
eral reserve bank of the district to
cooperate in order 10 attain the end
desired. The council believes bene-
hctal results can be attained In this
manner"
