Prominent Western
* Man Praises Tanlac
G. W. Logan, Peabody, Kansas
"Tanlac lias completely restored
my health and I feel finer than in
years," wan the straightforward
statement made recently by Mr.
George W. Logan, of Peabody, Kan-
sas one of the most prominent stock-
dealers in the Middle West.
"It has not only made a new man
of me but I have actually gained
thirty-five pounds in weight and feel
as well as I ever did in my life. I
am 'telling all of my friends about
Tanlac but they, can see for them-
elves what it has done Jn my case.
"When I began taking Tanlac I
was in an awfully run-down condi-
tion. I wa away off in weight felt
weak and nervous all of the time and
couldn't take any interet in my work
or anything else. My main trouble
was indigestion. Nothing seemed to
agree with m>\ At times I would
have dizzy spells and at other times
my back would ache so bad that I
could hardly get up and down in my
chair. This is Just the condition I
was in when I started to take this
medicine. It took just six bottles to
make a well man of me. I now have
a fine appetite everything tastes good
and my digestion is perfect.
"My wife was also troubled with
indigestion at times and it relieved
her the same way. You may publish
my statement wherever you like and
if anyone doubts it just tell them to
see me."
Tanlac is sold in Stigler by Palace
Drug Company, fn McCurtain by W
T. Williams & Son, in Kinta by Jones

gated Day and Night.
Sanderson, Texas —Lieut. Alexan-
der Pearson, jr., who had been miss-
ing since he left El Paso for San An-
into Sanderson, ufter six days wander-
ing on a horse. Lieutenant Pearson
was foroed to land about 250 miles
Irom El Paso near the Rio Grande on
account of engine trouble.
Lieutenant. Pearson, when forced to
land, was in a stretch of sand. There
was no sign of humanity around. The
flyer found a raft on the Rio Grande
and floated <j>n it lor a day and night
when he came to a goat camp. Ho
stayed at this camp lor two days and
'two nights before any signs of life
was found. The rancher was visiting
in Sanderson and when he returned.
Pearson was given a horse on which
he rode Into Sanderson.
The flyer was without food for 80
hours. He said he had no rations with
him when he was forced to land and
was forced to do without food until
he found the goat camp.
The machine is undamaged and is
lying near the river. Guiding the raft
to shore, I found the owners of the
ranch, who I found out later to be
named Ilutledge, were not at home. I
found food in the house, the first since
I left El Paso. I stayed here two days
and two nights before the Rutledge
family returned home from Sanderson,
where they had been visiting. They
furnished me with a horse on which to
make my way to town.
Lieutenant Pearson left the goat
camp anil rode to Sanderson, a dis-
tance of 100 miles. Although fatigued,
the flyer declared he felt little ill
effects from his experience.
- The aviator declared that he had
not observed any of the dozens of
airplanes which have been scouring
this section of the state for him for
the past five days.
Lieutenant Pearson, who planned to
attempt a transcontinental flight
late this month from Pablo Beach, Fla.
to Los Angeles, in less than a day
went to the Sanderson landing field.
He declared that he expected to so to
El Paso where he will report to avia-
tion headquarters at Fort Bliss.
The flyer declared he could not say
whether he would attempt to carry out
his plans for the transcontinental trip,
but that this probably would be decid-
ed when he got back to El Paso
NAVY DEFENSE IS PLANNED
Sixteen-lnch Guns to Be Located in
United States Possessions.
Washington.—Continuation of the
sixteen-inch sun program for use in
the coast defense of the United States
Hawaii and the Panama Canal for the
next year is provided for in the annual
fortifications appropriations bill of ap
proximately $8,000,000. This is $27,-
500,000 less than was asked by the
war department and compares with
118,000,000 for this year.
. The sub committee, of.which Repre-
sentative Slemp, republican, Virginia,
is chairman, completed the bill and
will lay it before the full appropria-
tions committee. It is the last of the
bis? supply measures.
About $260,000,000 of unexpended
balances of appropriations for fortifi
cations during the war will be returned
to the treasury. For acquisition of the
Island of Taboga, of 1,370 acres, owned
by the republic of Panama in the Pa
cific, the bill appropriates $108,000.
This sum was made available two
years ago in connection with the de-
fenses of the Panama canal but was
held up on objection of the govern-
ment of Panama.
The war department is directed in
the bill to sell not less than 2,000
of the 7,000 tract to which it has on
hand for moving members said, can be
used on farms.
Requests for appropriations for air
base in the Philippine Islands and for
funds locating an additional air squad-
ron in the Panama canal zone and in
Hawaii were denied.
California Climate Given New Knocks.
Chico, Cal.,—Two weather records of
half a century standing were broken
here Monday. For the first time in 50
years snow and hail fell in Chico. In-
cluding Monday's precipitation the
season's total was 29.08 inches, exceed-
ing that of any year since 1872. Mag-
alia, Paradise and other towns in this
section also reported snow Mondaay.
Fire Destroys Mexican Buildings
Mexicalli, Lover Calif.—Fire de-
stroyed a half block or frame and
adobe buildings here and caused an
estimated loss of $100,000.
jSENATE ACTS ON FORDNEY BILL
PARTY LINES FORGOTTEN
IN PASSING THE BILL
Emergency Tariff Measure is Sent to
the House for "O. K." or Altera-
tions in Original Draft.
Washington.—The Fordney emer-
gency tariff bill, with more than a.
score of amendments, passed the sen-
ate and was immediately gent to con-
ference. The vote was 43 to 3o.
Action on the bill, passed bv the
house as an aid to the farmeis'came
after four republican senators broke
away from their party alignment and
two of them, Edge of New Jersey, and
Moses of New Hampshire, bitterly as-
sailed the measure and its republican
supporters. Likewise, salidarity of
the democratic ranks could not be
maintained, nine minority members
voting for the bill.
The bill now goes back to the house
for concurrence in the many amend-
ments added by the senate. From
there it will go to the president for
his approval.
Mr. Moses' attack so unsettled the
republican program that three amend-
ments offered by Senator IJodge, the
majority leader, were killed. From
the time the vote was called on the
Lodge amendments, all of which had
to do with protection for manufac
lured products of wool, the senate re-
jected all changes proffered. But it
already had accepted so many changes
from the house measure that trouble
was predicted in getting an agree-
ment in conference.
$400,000 FROM MAIL SACKS
Ccvered Postal Employees In Loadng
Dock Then Fled.
Toledo, Ohio.—Postofflce authorities
had made no accurate estimate of the
amount of loot taken from a mail
truck by five bandits, but it continued
to be reported that the loot would
amount to $400,000 in federal reserve
currency.
The bandits held up four employes
ot the Toledo postofflce and escaped
with nine sacks of mail. No clue as
to the identity of the robbers has
been obtained.
The mail sacks, four of them con-
taining registered mail, were thrown
into a stolen automobile after the
bandits forced the postal employes to
lie down on the floor. The motor cat-
was found later, abandoned.
Postal employes admitted that the
loss may total nearly a half million
dollars. The police say that the loss
in currency alone may be between
$"00,000 and $400,000.
A postoflice truck had, just arrived
from t lie union station with a loud
of mail from the east and had fin-
ished unloading the truck when the
bandit car drove up to the Fourteenth
street entrance and the robbers cov-
ered .the clerks. The bandit car was
pursued for some distance but suc-
ceeded in escaping.
Immediately after the robbery a
watchman at the postofflce jumped in
one of the government trucks and at-
tempted to follow the bandits' car.
Owing to the fact that lie could not
make much speed he lost their trail
in less than two blocks.

CARUSO GAINING IN FIGHT
Physicians Report Crisis i Passed—
Tenor on Road to Recovery.
New York.—Noticeable improve-
ment in the condition of Enrico Caruso
tenor, critically ill here, was an-
nounced in a bulletin issued by Dr.
Antonio Stella.
"Caruso's condition is very much
more favorable." the bulletin said.
"His pulse is better. His tempera-
ture is much lower. We have great
hope for his recovery, although he is
still a very sick man. Part of his im-
provement is due to his strong consti-
tution, to his mental attitude and the
fact that his wife has been constantly
at his bedside."

Norwegians Have Big Claim.
Washington. — A communicatioa

State Health Commissioner, i
It iB sal - to say that pfactically
every county in the state has one or
more cases of smallpox. Fortunate-
ly the disease is mild in form, and so
far no deaths have been reported.
According to a report sent to the
state department of health by one of
tho sanitary inspectors there are
more ca^es of smallpox in the east-
ern part of the state than there has
been in 15 years. After calls from
many districts, the inspector was
sent to investigate conditions.

cases have been officially reported by
county health ofTlcers and added to
this number treated by physicians,
makes a total of around 800. Se-
quoyah and Cotton counties have
each reported 100 cases, then follow
(according to number) Garfield 28,
Harmon 2'5, Custer and I'ontotic 21
each, Pushmataha 15, Kingfisher and
Haskell 12 each.
During the last two months the
slate department of health through
the state laboratory has sent out ap-
proixmately 3„000 "vaccine points"

diction upon the state supreme court

Don't let the opportunity
that advertisements offer
you slip by. No matter
what you want, clothing,
