“IT KEPT ME ON THE PAYROLL" HE SAYS

Terre Haute Man was Ready to Give Up When He Beganj Taking Tanlac—Feels Fine Now and Sleeps Like a Child Every Night. ‘‘lf It had not been for Tanlac I don’t believe I could have stayed on the payroll much longer.” said Jacob C. Louden, of 1336 Locust street, Terre Haute, Ind. Mr. Louden has lived! in Terre Haute for thirty years and has been an employee at the Standard Wheel Works for eighteen years. “For seven years,” continued Mr. Louden,” I have been in very bad health. My stomach troubled me and I could eat but a few things that didnt nausate me. My head ached so bad at times that it felt like it would burst and I got so nervous that I trembled like a leaf all the time. J could not sleep well and many a night was so restless that I would roil and twist

I what the Decatur Iloturluus will live lup to. Warren Taxdodger McCray, the re- ■ publican candidate for governor, is running on u platform which endorsed I the record of the Goodrich admiuis{tration, approved the highway and tax law and now a special session of th" ’legislature is to be culled for the purpose of amending these laws and changing the record of the last legislature. ,McCray has no chance in view of his endorsement of t'he Goodrich administration, . . Reports from Indianapolis are to the effect that Governor Goodrich has prepared a dozen bills which he will present to the special session of the legislature to be called "this .month. Surely this is a slam at the record of the ‘‘best legislature Indiana has had in fifty years," for why should it be necessary to call a special session just eighteen months after it adjourned in order to pass a dozen bills prepared by the governor and possibly a hundred more. And the joke «f the whole thing is, that the pet bills of the governor would change or amend those laws passed by the "fizzle" legislature. The Indiana members of the American Legion scarcely could have taken a move important step than they did when they elected Col. Leigh R. GignilJiat as their state commandant. The Legion is destined to become an important factor in the affaire of ‘the state and nation. The extent of its usefulness and of its influence will be measured in no small degree by the vision of those who are .in charge dm ing its formative period. A start in the right direction will be of incalc'ul able value in after years, and Col. Gignilliat is pre-eminently fitted for just i such a service to the Legion and , through it to the public. The American Legion embodies a new idea in American organizations. We have veterans of earlier wars who have associated themselves together for patriotic purposes. They have accomplished much and have the respect and esteem of the nation, but

and often had to get up and walk the floor. "I lost, strength and feit so bad that I couldnt half do my work at the shops. Last October I got to the point of almost giving up my job, but read in the papers about Taulac, so thought 1 would try one more thing and 1 want to tell you that Tanlac helped me so much and so quickly that I dldnt miss a singie day from my work. “Before 1 finished my second bottle I fell like a new man. My appetite came back and I could eat anything ; without having any trouble with my stomach. I never have a headache ! now and I sleep like a child every i night. I have , gained back all the weight that I lost and ‘he boys at the shop are surprised at my quick recovery. Tanlac sure did the work for me and I will always say a good word for it. I advise anybodj- that is j in the shape I was in to lose no time in getting Tanlac.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk's, in Berne at Stengel & Craig’s and in Geneva at F> C. Deitsch’s drug store.

Tbq legionaries are young men brimming with enthusiasm, but not all having the judgment that comes with wide experience. They are just thp type of citizens to accomplish much if their activities are directed along the right lines. Col. Gignilliat is an organizer ami leader of the very best quality. Hi, Military Academy is known not only from one end of Indiana so the other, but has made that institution internationally fambus. He was conspicuous among the Hoosiens who distinguished themselves for valuable servjce in the war. Col. Gignilliat has the matur judgment and executive ability a leader should have, and also the enthusiasm‘and energy of the youngest recruit. As state commandant of the American Legion he may be depended upon to grasp the opportunities that are before that organization and to guide it toward the reali-zation of the maximum of its mission. — Indianapolis Star.

WON'T BUY SUGAS English People Refuse to Pay High Price for the Crop Bought in Cuba IS GOING TO WASTE' — In Warehouses — Portland Family Returns From an Extended Stay The Portland Commercial-Review gives the following interesting bit of tyeva concerning the way. the Englis h people take to the high price of isugar: "Old John Bull evidently got his | hand ‘stuck in the sugar bowl When j he beat Uncle Sam in the race for the Cuban sugar crop last year. Engla: I has the sugar, but her people are not buying it. according to Sidnel Paul.

assistant manager at the Portland Body Works, who together with his wife and three children recently r - I turned from a visit in England with relatives. “Mr. Paul states that the Engli.b government has millions of pounds of sugar in the warehouses there, flip; the people will not purchase and whi '1 the rats are gnawing at. The go • eminent asks 28 cents a pound .for t sugar, he says, and the English pc • pie refuse to pay that price. Oth - sugar, on the market there befo-- • the purchase of the Cuban sugar cr< > can be bought at from 18 to 20 cen' but it is rationed out in half-poui I lots and but a half pound can 1 bought a week. Mr. Paul stated th many of the English people were al > using saccharine in little tablet fort . which they drop into their tea, ar 1 which gives them the desired tast . The saccharine is mixed with ft pr ■ portion of corn starch to elimina » some of the sickly sweet taste. T' ? English government, he says, is be- ' ginning to feel like they were ‘stuck’ with the Cuban crop for which they ’ paid a fancy price. Some of the sgucr i is being shipped to this country, it sa|d. “Mr. Paul stated that clothing was ; cheaper in England than in America, , and that while there he purchased a i tailored suit of the very best quality, paying for it $37. ’ “Mr. Paul and family have been in England since last March, when they left here for a visit in the land of

their birth with their relatives. They | wHI leave next week for u visit in | Michigan." Democratic Platform Given to Convention (Continued from Page i (Thiucnt H<Tvice, we hold distinctly that the rights of the people are para i mount to the right to strike. Howi ever, we pledge the democratic party ; to instant inqury Into the pay of gov- ' eminent employe.; .and equally speedy regulations designed to bring salaries to a just and proper level. WOMAN SUFFRAGE We endorse the proposed 19th amendment granting equal suffrage. We urge the democratic governors and legislatures in such states as have I not yet'ratified the federal sultra-' amendment to unite in an effort U. complete the process in time for all women to participate in the fall elec ' tions. ' DISABLED SOLDIERS The government should treat with i utmost consideration. everv. disabled soldier, sailor and marine, and for the ’ dependents of the brave men who died, the governments tenderest concern and richest bounty should be their re-iiuitta-l. The tine patriotism, the hero ic conduct of American soldiers, sail ors and marines constitute a sacred heritage of posterity. t The democratic administration wisely established a war risk insur lance bureau, giving insurance as unprecedented low raies and through the .medium of which compensation of those injured in service is readily adjusted. The federal board for vocational education should be a part of the war risk insurance bureau and this machinery must receive every necessary aid. We pledge our party to the enactment of soldier settlements and home : aid legislation to aid the men who ■fought for America to become land and home owners under cenditioas affording genuine government assistance. t • ' RAILROAD® The railroads’ were* subjected to federal control as a war measure. Unification practices overcame initial handicaps and resulted .in improvements. Labor was treated with an exact justice that secured enthusiastic co--operation. The fundamental purpose of federal control was achieved fully and splendidly, Investment in railread properties were not only saved bv government operation, but govern-

' t n. a • ■ .••nt returned these . properties vastly improved. , ■ I IMPROVED HIGHWAYS The Fedral road act of 1916, enI acted by a democratic congress, repi resented the first systematic effort of I the government to build an adequate is, It has resulted in • ! placing the movement on a substan-| tial basis in every state and in bringing under actual construction more than. 13,000 miles of roads. We favor a continuance of the present leral aid plan under existing federal and state agencies. FLOOD CONTROL We commend the democratic congress for the passage of the flood control act. We favor the extension of this laws’ policy to other flood control I roblems. LIVE STOCK

To insure' just and fair treatment in the great interstate live stock market and .thus instilling confidence in growers through which production will be stimulated and the price of meats to consumers be ultimately reduced we favor the enactment of legislation for the supervision of such markets by the national government. MEXICO In a very special sense, our international relations in this hemisphere should be characterized by good wil’ and free from any possible suspicion as to our national purpose. When the new government of Mexco shall have given ample proof of its ability permanently to maintain law and .order, signified its willingness to meet its international obligations and written upon its statute books just laws under which foreign investors shall have rights as well as duties, tljat government should receive our recognition and sympathetic assistance. ANKLE IS SPRAINED Gregg! McFarland, pf the White Mountain Creamery station on Monroe street, is suffering from a painful inury to his ankle, and is compelled tc walk about on crutches. An evening >r two ago he was trying to balance rimself on the banisters of the porch at the McFarland home on West Monroe street In p. reclining position. Something attracted his attention for a moment and he turned his head, throwing his body out of balance and he fell off the banister to the ground, alighting in such away that he ankle was sprained. The member is quite sore and Gregg may be laid up for bbv- ■ era I days.

ASKS RECOVERY Plaintiffs’ Suit to Recover Sum of $1,0(10 on a Real Estate Deal ON AT HARTFORD CITY Contention That Deal Was Not Closed at the Time Agreement Specified The Hartford City News says: “The suit of Simeon Fnurole vs. Shanna Roebuck and Perry Roebuck to recover SI,OOO on the purchase price of a real estate transaction and contract, went to trial Wednesday morning in the circuit court before a jury. “The jury hearing thO case is composed of Timothy Waite. Arthur Halt. Harvey Atkinson, George Greenlee. Albert Burnworth. Ralph Robbins. Jacob Hizer. John W. Blankenbaker. Charles Knox, Josiah Twibell, of the regular jury and Henfy Muterspaugh and Samuel Gettys. The latter two named jurors replaced James Burman and William Y. Williams of the regular panel. "The suit resulted over a contract for the purchase of 120 acfes of land in Adams county. A contract was entered into between the three parties at a purchase price of $25,200. To negotiate the deal. SI,OOO was advanced by. the plaintiff to the owners, the remainder of the deal to be consummated by Manch Ist. "The cont(vition in the case rests over the action of the defendant’s alleged agents. Walters & Graham, of Decatgr. whom the plaintiff asserts extended the time for concluding the deal a few days |a<ter than March Ist Upon that (Mite, the plaintiff contend-, air attempt was forced to push the deal through but owing to the aagrerm<n‘ with the defendant's questioned agents, who extended the time for completing the contract, the plaintiff was not then prepared to advance the .money, hut did at a later date at the time sei by the agents of the defend ants, and was refused the deed. Through a juggling of the contract over the land the plaintiff contends that he will be forced to lose both the SI,OOO and title to the land, the former of which he seeks to recover. "The | intcmU that the m.rwas tendered the deed hut refused to complete his contract on the date designated. and that Walters & Graham were not her authorized agents.” WANT <WS E'AR'kl— $—J.-J
