BIG LAY-OFF ENDS A. J. Wyrick Hadn’t Been Able to do Any Work for Five Years. RELIEF IN TAN LAC Gets Around Over Farm Since He Tried the Master Medicine. Kokomo. Ind., Feb. 4 —“Tanlac certally has done more for me than anything. For the first time In five years I am able to get around now and attend my stock. I heartily recommend this medicine to any one,” said A. J. Wyrick, a well known farmer, who lives on rural route No. 7, Kokomo' whit* discussing the Master Medicine and its work a few days ago. “My complaints were rheumatism and kidney trouble. I actually could not turn over in bed without holding my head with both hands, the rheumatic pains in my neck and shoulders were so severe. It also was necessary for me to get up frequently during the night. My kidneys were very weak. “I have taken two bottles of Tanlac now and my condition generally is greatly Improved. I do not suffer from rheumatic pains in my neck and shoulders now, and my kidneys are working properly so that it is not necessary for me to get up during the night.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine Mr. Wyrick refers to, is especially beneficial for stomach, liv.er and kidney trouble, rheumatism, catarrhal complaints, loss of appetite and the like, and also is a fine reconstructive tonic, having proved of vast benefit to thousands of people suffering from the after effects of hard colds, coughs, la grippe, pneumonia, and the like. Tanlac is now sold exclusively in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk’s drug store. —Adv. — o CALL 'PHONE 80. As the new management of the Ft.

POLITICAL GOSSIPS By Peter Radford. When one class of people has anything to say, it has become largely the custom to make a political issue out of It Instead of a friendly discussion, to print it in a law book Instead of a newspaper and to argue It before a jury Instead of to settle it In the higher court of Common Sense. As a result, political agitators, political lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness, Intolerance and hysterics run rampant in public affairs, for when the low, damp, murky atmosphere of misunderstanding envelops public thought It breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine of understanding will choke to death. We have too many self-appointed Interpreters of Industry who are incapable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. No business can stand upon error and might rules —right or wrong. No industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, for public opinion is more powerful than a King s sword. When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitates into the hands of the weak for demagogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife. The remedy lies in eliminating the middleman—the political gossip—and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around a table of industry and talking it over with the people. Interchange of information between industries and the people is as necessary to success in business as Interchange in commodities, for the people can only rule when the public understands Away with political interpreters who summon evil spirits from their prison cells and Joose them to prey upon the welfare of the people ’ in the name of “My Country.” O Democrat Want Ads Pay. |
