Are You Run Down,
Weak, Nervous?

To have plenty of firm flesh and
the ability to do a big days work
and feel "like a two-year old" at
night, you must eat three good
meals a day, relish your food and
properly digest it. If you can't
eat, can't sleep, can't work, just
take a teaspoonful of Tanlac be-
fore meals.

Main ST., M~uskogee, Okla, says: 81
was a nervous wreck and forced
myself to work and eat. / felt like
quitting work before the day was
up. On taking Tanlac, my appetite
picked up so 1 could eat anything,
oon slept well and gained 10 lbs"
Tanlac is wonderful for indiges-
ton and constipation-gas, pains,
nausea, dizziness and headaches. 1t
brings back lost appetite, helps
you digest your food, and gain
strength and weight. It contains
no mineral drugs; it is made of
roots, banks and herbs, natures
own medicines for the sick. The
cost is less than 2 cents a dose. Get
a bottle from your druggist. Your
money back if it doesn't help.

VOWED in U. S. Inquiry.

From the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays star.
Conspiracy to violate the bucket shop
law was charged in warrant issued TO-
day by u. S. Commissioner Needham
c. Turnage against Benjamin r. Buck,
trading as Buck 81 Co., investment
broker In the Evans Building, Miss
Edith G. Freas, said to be his treasurer,
and Harry Williams and Michael Drain.
said to have been In Bucks employ.
Buck is already under bond Of $4,000
on a charge of embezZlement.
The overt acts charged against the
accused and set out in the warrant are
that Buck maintained an office in the
Evans Building July l, 1929; that Miss
Freas wrote letter to z. Asbury Gill
of Rehoboth Church. Va, July 6, 1929;
that Drain wrote letter to E. C. Ter
1929, and that williams wrote to Ter
rell February %, 1929, and sent q tele-
gram to him November IL, 1928.
The alleged correspondence is de-
clared to have been in furtherance Of
an alleged conspiracy to secure the per-
sons named to send to Buck g. Co.
money to be invested In stocks.
All four defendants pleaded not guilty
when arrafgned before United States
Commissioner Turnage this afternoon.
Upon recommendation of Assistant
United States Attorney William A. CAL
lagher, Bucks bond was set at $4,000
and he was released when Milton s.
Kronheim, professional bondsman, post
ed the required amount.
Bond for the others was set at $4,000
each, in view of the fact that they were
employees of Buck and had lived in
Washington for many years. Edward
Buckley, another bondSman, posted
bond for the two men, while Kronhein
obtained Miss FreaS' release.
Buck and Miss Freas were represent.
ed by Attorney Harry Bargar. L J.
Costigan represented Drain and VIII
liams.
The claim will be made by the prose-
cution that the accused had no in
tention of buying the stocks for delivery,
but intended to convert the money to
! their own use and to give only book
keeping credits for It.
Both Williams and Drain were taken
into custody by Deputy United States
Marshals Clarkson and Cerimile ut

with the exception of Senator Smoot,
were filtbustering on the bill, after the
DAY had been devoted to debating an
amendment establishing a consumers
counsel to appear before the tariff COM
mission on behalf of the public. The
amendment was approved.
Smoot called attention after the vote
to the fact that five hours had been
given over to discussing the proposal
and asked quicker action on phases of
the bill to be considered in the future.
johnson Immediately declared that
the administration leaders, who had
opposed the amendment, knew at the
outset Of the debate what the outcome
would be and could have saved five
hours Of the Senate's time by permit
ting the amendment to come to vote
then.
In view of this, he asserted, 1t was
evident that those in charge Of the
bill, emitting the Senator from Utah
(Smoot), were trying to filibuster
against the tariff bill"
Smoot replied that he would ask soon
for night sessions as a means of expe-
diting debate. This course was sug-
gested early this week in conferences
between party leaders on methods OF
Fastening a final vote on the tariff
