INDICTMENTS OF OHIO MEN WARN OTHER VIOLATORS - The following - statement is Issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue:
The action of the Grand Jury at To
ledo, -Ohio, in bringing indictments
against John W. Compton and Chester'
u.- uompton - or finaiay, umo, aoing businesses as the ".United States Audit Bureau. Washington. D. C." and as the "Income Tax Record Bureau, Washington, D. C", . and various of its agents. Is a warning to all private concerns advertising in a way to lead to the Impression that they are government agencies.
For several months agents of the bureau of Internal revenue and post office inspectors have had under in-1 vestlgation the methods of the socalled "United States Audit Bureau" and "Income Tax Record Bureau", a private concern which has no Washington Office or place of business. The investigation developed that many of Its agents represented themselves to be officers or employes of the government, and by reason of such pretended official character, effected sale of books to farmers. Not only the hook itself, but ' the literature and letters of instruction furnished by the Compton brothers to their agents appear to have been carefully prepared with the deliberate intent to create in the minds of the prospective purchaser false impression that the book was issued by or under the authority of the treasury department; that the law re
quires the use of the book; and that the agents are officers or employes of the government (although in the
printed Instructions furnished them
they-are warned not to so represent themselves). ; Fake Letter Heads One of the most obnoxious features of the selling plan was the so-called
t Letter of authority" with which each
4:. agent was supplied, which was type
written or printed on the letterhead of the "Incline Tax Record Bureau,
wasnmgton. JJ. c.,". bearing an impressive gold seal of the concern, and which read:
"This is to certify that the bearer
of this letter, whose signature appears
below, is a duly appointed and author-
izea representative of the Incime Tax Record Bureau of Washington. D. C.
He is instructed to install and explain this system to every farmer in his
district
"Trusting that he will be treated
with due respect, we are "Very truly yours, "Income Tax Record Bureau.'
On the advice of the assistant United States Attorney of Toledo,
jonn w. compton and Chester G.
Compton were arrested on a charge
or conspiring with certain of their agents to commit an offense against the United States, such offense being that the agents falsely assumed to be officers or employes of the government They were granted a hearing before United States Commissioner Crane of Toledo, Ohio, and placed under bond in the sum of 12500 each. Many agents have been arrested, tnong them being one in Tennessee, vho was indicted, pleaded guilty, and ntenced to serve a term of eight onths in jail; it is the intention to oceed in the prosecution of other
?ents as rapidly as possible.

"I fed a 50-cent box of Don Sung to
my flock of 28 hens that were not lay
ing. But tney are laying now. i receive as high as 27 eggs a day and never less than 22." Mrs. Jennie Davidson. Yates Center, Kansas.
Mrs. Davidson wrote this letter in February. Figure her profit on two dozen eggs a day from hens that "wouldn't lay" during January and February. We'll make you the same
offer we made her. Here it is:
Give your hens Don Sung and watch
results for one month. If you don't find that it pays for itself and pays you a good profit besides, simply tell us and your money will be promptly
refunded. Don Sune (Chinese for egg-laying)
works directly on the egg-iaylng or:zans. and Is also a splendid tonic. It
is easily given in the feed, improves
the hen's health, makes her stronger
and more active In any weather, and
starts her laying.
Try Don Sung for 30 days and if it doesn't get you the eggs, no matter how cold or wet the weather, your monev will be refunded by return
mail. Get Don Sung from your drug'
gist or poultry remedy dealer or send
50 cents for a package by mall prepaid,

LABOR OFFICIAL OUT WITH FACTS ABOUT TROUBLE
Chairman McHugh Was in
Bed Three Months Gams Twelve Pounds and Feels
Like New Man.
"Yes, sir, I certainly can recommend
Tanlac, for, to be perfectly frank
about it, I don't believe I would be
alive today if I had not taken it," said Daniel F. McHugh. 1413 North Fourth
Street, West, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, while discussing the merits of Tanlac recently. Mr. McHugh has a wide circles of friends. He is a me-nber of local No. 56 Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, had been local chairman of
the grievance committee of the C. R. I. & P. Railway for twelye years, and is also publisher of "Trainmen's Standard Rules," which has a wide circula
tion among railway workers. Con
tinuing, he said: "Tanlac has not only relieved me of my suffering but I have gained twelve pounds in weight besides. For four years I have suffered from catarrh of the stomach and a general nervous breakdown, and have also been troubled with my kidneys a great deal. I could not eat the least thing without having dreadful pains in my stomach and the pressure of gas against my heart would cause it to palpitate something terrible, and at times I would turn so deathly sick I would have to sit down to keep from fainting. My nerves were in an awful condition, and even the rustling of a newspaper would completely upset me. My condition finally became so bad I had to quit work and was confined to my bed for three months. "During these four years I tried every sort of treatment and medicine I heard of. and as nothing seemed to do me a particle of good I had about given up horN when finally, on the
advice of a friend I decided to take Tanlac. My improvement was simply wonderful and I continued taking it, until now I feel just like a new man. I am back at work and can eat anything I want without being bothered afterwards. My kidneys are in good condition, my nerves are steady as steel, and in fact, I feel better than I have In years. I never miss an opportunity to praise Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite ; in Greensfork by C. D. Corine: in Cambridge City by Mr. Dean House; in Pershing by Sourbeer & Rodenberg; in Centerville by Centervtlle Pharmacy, and In Milton by W. L. Parkins. Adv.
