CLEANED from the EXCHANGES

The farmers who are calling for a faitmer for president evidently are not disposed to rest content with a congress subservient to the interests of farmers. Argentina also is cracking its official whip behind herds of anarch= ists and communists booked for deportation. Governments desirous to stand are naturally disposed to order their worst enemies to move on. China now has a "iHeayenly Feet association," pledged to fight the ancient custom of binding the feet of girl babies. Here in America the task of keeping decently shod without going into bankruptcy is almost as ■ serious. The price of fresh eggs in New York dropped twenty-one cents because housewives decided that storage eggs cost as much as they could

afford, which shows that ultimata consumers can accomplish a good deal when they try hard. Except for the premiership of the Duke of Wellington in 1829-30 Eng•ltfhd 'has never put the management of its government into the hands of a soldier, and no one there now thinks of such a misguided reward for Marshal Haig.

Mr. Daman has made Peoria his home for nearly half a century? bias the honor of serving on the police force about as loing as any man in Peoria, which covered a period of twenty-six years of service before he retired some time ago, and he numbers his friends by the hundreds. had suffered so long that I was almost a nervous and physical wreck,” he continued, “and it was actually reported that I would live only a short time, but now I am a well and happy man and just haven’t felt so fine in thirty years —and I j'ust feel like getting out and going from, house to house and telling everybody what Tanlac has done for me.

“You see, my health broke down from constant duty on the police force for so many years, and it seemed that everything gave way at onbe —my digestive organs got out of order, and every time I ate anything gas would form and cause awful cramps in my stomach.. Year after year my condition got worse and finally I couldn’t eat a thing but a little souip, and some mights I couldn’t sleep a wink until way In the morning, and to make a long story short I was what you might call a perfect wreck, and had to retire from the police force. “I knew something had to be done and done right awaf, so I told my, wife I was going to quit all my treatments and try that Tanlac that I had been reading about in the papers- Well, sir, as long as* I live I’ll believe that this one quick decision is all that saved my life. Why, I tell you, I hadn’t taken but a few doses of this Tanlac before I knew that after all these years I had at last found the right thing. My recovery is simply remarkable, and when -my friends come to see me now It is hard for some of them to recognize me, and it’s a fact, I haven’t felt better In thirty long years. I can eat three square meals a day, and just anything I please, too, and as sure as I’nw alive today I don’t have one bit' of trouble with my stomach, and sleep, my goodmess, I never slept better in my whole life. This Tanlac is j'ust simply wonderful, that’s what I want my friends to know, but I can’t see all of them, and so I wish you would publish this statement for the benefit of all my friends.” Tanlac is sold In Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington bv Frank L. Peck.—Advt.
