Tex., writes Hafry E. Scott, of Dra goon. Ariz., under date of November 15. tn telling of his remarkable recovery from an illness that had defied the skill of the best physicians for over two years, to say nothing of his failure to find relief at leading health resorts. Mr. Scott’s voluntary statement has the true ring of sincerity and gratitude and is unquestionably one of the most remarkable ever given in connection with a proprietary medicine. Mr. Scott’s letter was addressed to C. F. Moss, a well-known druggist of Benson. Aria’, who has the Tanlac agen cy for that town, and was forwarded by Mr. Moss to the. Tanlac offices in Atlan ta His letter follows: Dragoon. Ariz., Nov. 15, 1917. Mr C. F. Moss. - Benson, Arts Dear Sir: -Ls you expressed a desire to hear more about my case. I will try ■ and tell you part of it. I was down and. out nearly all the time for two years with rheumatism and stomach trouble, and went to eight doctors, two of whom were osteopaths. Three of them re fused to take my case, saying it was in curable. and the others might as well have done so, as they did me no good. I guess I have taken a barrel of medi cines internally and externally. I also , went to Hot Springs and out of all that was ever done I nevergot over one week's relief at a time. After going down to one hundred and sixteen pounds—which is very light for a six-footer—l kept getting worse un til I couldn’t move, even to feed my self. had no desire to eat and couldn’t sleep mere than two hours a night. : Some of the officials of the mine, of which I am foreman, would call to see me then go out and say,* "Poor old Scott has fired his last man." .My wife thought I would never get out of bed •- alive, and she knew my, condition bet- I ter than anybody else. At last, wfien I lay helpless, my wife ordered a bottle of Tanlac from the druggist at El Paso, Tex., which was the nearest place we could get it at that time. One evening about four days aft er I began taking Tanlac I ate a fair meal and enjoyed it, the first in many | months. By the time I had taken half of the first bottle I thought I had a good appetite, but when I finished my second bottle I could hardly eat enough 1 to satisfy me. Well, I have just finish-j ed my ninth bottle, have gained elgh- - teen pounds and am back on the job every day. * I have converted lots of sufferers to the "Tanlac route.” and It affects them all about like it did me—their stomach trouble, nervousness and rheumatism all yield to Tanlac. Mrs. Scott and my self are willing to a notary and make affidavit as to the truth of every statement in this letter, which you are at liberty to publish and use for the benefit of others. Yours verv truly. ’ . 'Signed) HARRY E. SCOTT. Accompanying the above was a letter from the Moss Pharmacy addressed to the Tanlac offices,’ Atlanta. Ga., refer ring in-the highest term’s to Mr. Scott as a man and citizen, with the added statement that both Mr. Scott and his wife were ready at any time to go be fore a notary public and swear that Tanlac is the only medicine he had ever taken that had any effect on his rheu matism and stomach trouble. He also stated he had another'cus tomer. an old gentleman, who had taken five bottles of Tanlac and had gained twelve to fifteen pounds and that they were building up a large business on Tanlac, etc. Tanlac is sold by one regularly estab lished agency in every town—'Advt.)

POLAND TURNS OUT EFFECTIVE SWG FOR GERMANY’S HOPES Even Polish Army, on Which Kaiser Was Depending for Vast Help, Bids Fair to Turn Against Him NEW YORK. Feb. 16.—(Summary of European Cables.)—Germany has sud denly found herself involved in a maze of difficulties on the eastern front and in danger of losing all the large benefits she was calmly preparing to realise from her peace with the Ukraine and the Bol sheviki withdrawal of Russia from the war. Poland, that land which so frequently lin the course of history has proved a I thron in the side of military conquerors, is threatening to constitute herself the rock on which the German hope of peace and gainful expansion in the easf may be Embittered by the tear ing off of a strip of their territory' to be given the Ukraine for breaking away from the Bolsheviki and signing a peace .with the central powers, the Poles are in what appears to be virtually a state of revolt. Even the very weapon which Ger many and Austria were at such pains to forge in the hope ot deriving mili tary benefit—the Polish army—bids fair to be turned against them. Reports in the German newspapers, which express dismay and alarm over the Polish situ ation, indicate that the Polish legions, now an effective military force, are on the side of the prevalent Polish senti ment of bitterness against the central powers. The situation has grown so serious that the military are patroling the streets of Warsaw. Austria-Hungary is particularly in volved in the difliculties because of the prominent part which it was expected she would play in the future govern ment of Poland. The Polish elements and those sympathizing with them Tn the-dual monarchy are up in arms over the situation and further internal trou bles are threatened. Turning to the north, it already has been reported that Germany purposes resuming military operations agains northern Russia, and this report gains color by the announcement that the commission representing the central powers at Petrograd have left the Rus sian capital and passed within the Ger man military lines. The probable Ger man purpose to attack the Bolsheviki is also indicated in a Vienna dispatch de claring that if Germany decided to re sume military operations against Rus sia, "the attitude of Austria” would not ■be influenced thereby. This would seem to mean that Austria intends to leave Germany to fight the battle alone in north Russia. Whether she hopes to keep up connections with the Petrograd government meanwhile is not clear, but Sofia dispatches declare thafr Bulgaria is doing that very thing, having "re sumed diplomatic relations with Rus sia” However, all the central pow ers are in agreement over the situation, it is declared. Situation in the West In the west, while the military sit uation at the front shows few signs for the moment of passing beyond the stag© of raids and sporadic bombardments and entering into one of major opera tions by the millions of men massed for attack and defense, there has been a development of marked importance regarding the high command of the forces on the entente side of the bat tle line. Thus, London advices announcing the retirement of General Sir William Rob ertson as chief of the British imperial staff, and his replacement by Major General Sir Henry Hughes Wilson, ap parently indicate that something ap proaching an allied general staff was created toy the supreme war council in its recent session at Versailles. Gen eral Robertson, it is revealed, would not consent to take General Wilson's place as British military representative on the supreme war council nor remain chief of staff "with limited power.” the inference being that some higher au thority has been set up. Premier Lloyd George, with the en dorsement of parliament that he receiv ed the other day to back him, it would’ appear, has grappled with the British military situation boldly and made it conform with the view so* many have held, and which apparently was endors ed by the Versailles council, that there should be a unified control of the allied armies. General Robertson seemingly was not willing to fit into the plan, so without any question having been raised as to his ability, he has had to step down and make way for another. Following up their destroyer raid in the straits of Dover Friday, in which they wiped out several British patroll ing craft, the Germans sent orte of their ' submarines into the port of Dover in the darkness of the early morning hours Saturday. The U-boat threw a few rounds of shells into the city and retired when subjected to the fire of the shore batteries, aftfr Inflicting small damage to residence property and causing a few casualties among civilians.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1918. AMERICAN ARMY’S RECORD OF HEALTH IS BEST IN HISTORY General Gorgas, at Georgian Terrace, Says It's Twice as Good, as Most Favorable Previously Established "It would be extravagant even to hope for better health conditions among our troops during the war than we have had so far.” said Surgeon General Wil liam C. Gorgas, talking to a Journal reported Saturday afternoon at the Georgian Terrace. "The best previous record of health in the history of warfare.” con tinued General Gorgas, byway of ex planation. “was established by the Jap anese in their campaigns against Rus sia. Japanese deaths • from disease among soldiers while that war was in progress were at the rate of 21 per thousand per year. Our record since we begin to raise the selective service army ip a death rate of lb per thousand per year, more than twice as good as the world’s paevious best. "What 1 am striving for now." -said the man who became world famous when he changed Panama from a pesthole to one of the healthiest plAecs in the world, "is not primarily to improve the health conditions in our army, but to hold them at the remarkable figure where they stand now.” General Gorgas smiled broadly when asked about the charges preferred by Senator Chamberlain. There was a trace of weariness in the smile. "Nearly all such complaints,” said the* surgeon general, "have been based on isolated cases. Many times the letters describing them are anonymous. Fre-. quently they have been proven to be grossly untrue. As for Senator Cham berlain’s horror about the boy whose body,was sent home in a sheet, the senator should’ know that his own body would be sent home the same way if he died from any contagious disease.” General Gorgas expressed gratifica tion with the conditions which he had found in the Camp Gordon base hos pital and with the work accomplished by Colonel Konrad Koerper, chief sur geon of the Eighty-second division. “In the past," said the surgeon gen eral. "the highest disease death rates of warring nations have always been, during the preliminary periods. If we can make that trud of ourselves and this war, vfe will set a world’s record and have cause to be grateful.” FORTY NEGRO SOLDIERS Oil TRIAL IN SIN ANTONIO Third Gourtmartial Is Held As Result of Riot In ■ Houston SAN ANTONIO. Tex.. Feb. 18. —Forty enlisted men of the Twenty-fourth in fantry, negro, went to’ trial before a court-martial here today on charges of murder and mutiny. It is the third court- | martial as a result of the crimes com- j mitted at Houston August 23, last, when | t-wenty persons were shot to death and i others were injured in a riot of the Third battalion of the regiment. At the first court-martial sixty-three defendants were tried. Thirteen were found guilty and hanged and all but five of the others were found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment, many of them, for life terms. At the second trial fifteen were tried and all con victed. Five were sentenced to be hanged and are now awaiting action by the president, who is reviewing the case. The other ten were sentenced to prison. There are four charges against each of the defendants now on trial—mutiny, murder, assault to murder and wilfully disobeying orders. German submarines, which use this route to reach the open seas. The patrol was after a submarine, which, it is believed, sent a wireless appeal for help from Zeebrugge, when it was attacked. According to one re port, the patrol had in the last few weeks destroyed four submarines and had virtually closed this vital water way to U-boats. It was in an effort, to break this barrage that the destroy ers came out. They succeeded In sink ing a few small patrol boats and got away before the British warships could overtake them. This morning’s affair was a small one, about thirty shells being thrown into the town. All the casualties were caused by one shell. Germans Are Concentrating To Attack the Bolsheviki AMSTERDAM, Feb. 16. —German forces are already being concentrated in Ukraine to attack the Bolsheviki, ac cording to a Berlin dispatch to the Tijd, and declarations looking to the active prosecution of the war against the Bol sheviki in north Russia also will be made at Berlin next week. The German authorities are anxious regarding the fate of Qerman prisoners In north Russia, whom the Bolsheviki are holding as hostages, and who, Ber lin dispatches say, may be killed'if the Bolsheviki are driven to desperation. Germany has already served notice on the Bolsheviki authorities that she will enforce reprisals if the German prison ers are harmed Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, has notified Berlin ' that Austrian troops must not be used against Russia to support any policy which Austria has not approved, but I only for purposes of self-defense against marauding bands. Cut Off From World Rumania Still Fights CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—Cut off from every friendly country except by wire less, Rumania will continue to fight to the end, declared Dr. C. Angelescu, head of the Rumanian mission which reached here today. 'The Bolsheviki are making war on us, so Rumania now must fight two enemies—the Bolsheviki and Germany," he said. "We are cut off from every country—there are enemies on every side of us, but we will never give in. “We entered this war because 4,000,- 000 of otfr kinsmen are arbitrarily sub mitted to Austro-Hungarian domination. We will fight until they are'free. "The traitorous action of the Bolshe viki has made our task harder, but has not lessened our determination.” The mission, the first of its kind in this country, will remain here through tomorrow. General Moscow Strike * Reported in Progress LONDON, Feb. 16.—A general strike in Warsaw is reported by Reuter’s Am sterdam correspondent. The German papers print only brief and unsatisfac tory dispatches regarding the situation there. HOUSEWIVES URGED ID OBSERVE FOOD RULES Dr. Soule Stresses Necessity of Sending Foodstuff to Soldiers Dr. Andrew M. Soule, federal food ad ministrator for Georgia, through Major D. F. McClatchey, executive secretary, made an urgent appeal Saturday to the patriotic housewives of the state to ob serve strictly government regulations for food conservation in the homes. pr. Soule emphasizes that the most vital prdblem confronting this country is to provide adequate supplies of food stuffs for the soldiers by sending them as much food as possible, of tne most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These food proddets include wheat, beef, pork, butter and sugar. The food administration of the Unit ed States asks every loyal American to help win the war by maintaining rig idly. as a minimu mos saving, the fol lowing program: “Have two wheatless days, Mondays and Wednesdays, in every week, and one wheatless meal every day. “On "Wheatless” days and in "Wheat less’ meals of other days use no crack ers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast food or other cereal food containing wheat, and use no wheat flour in any form except the small amount that may be needed for thickening soups or gravies, or for a binder in corn bread and other cereal breads. As to bread, if you bake it at home, use other cereals than wheat, and if you buy it, buy only war bread. Our object is, that we should buy and con sume one-third less wheat products than we did last year. "Have one meatless day (Tuesday) in every week and one meatless meal in everjj day. Have two porkless days (Tuesday and Saturday) in every week. Explanation—“ Meatless" means with out any cattle, hog or sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in preference to beef or pork. "Porkless” means without pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork products, fresh or preserved. Use fish, poultry and eggs. Ae a nation we eat and waste nearly twice as much meat as we need. “Make every day a fat-saving day (Butter, lard, lard-substitutes, etc.). Fry less; bake, broil, boil or stew foods instead. Save meat drippings; use these and vegetable, oils for cooking in stead of butter. Butter has food values vital to children; therefore, give it to them. Use it only on the table. Waste no soap: it is made from fat. Be care ful of all fats. We use and waste two and a half times as much fat as we need. “Make every day a sugar-saving day. Use less sugar. Less sweet drinks and candy containing sugar should be used in wartime. As a nation we have used twice as much sugar as we need. “Use fruits, vegetables and potatoes abundantly. These foods are healthfur and plentiful, and, at the same time, partly take the place of other foods which we must save. Raise all you can for home use. “Use milk wisely. Use all ths milk; waste no part of it. The children.must have whole milk. Use sour and skim milk in cooking and for cottage cheese. "Hoarding food. Any one buying and holding a larger supply of food now than in peace time, except foods canned, dried or preserved in the home, is help ing to defeat the food administration in its attempt to secure a just distribu tion of food and the establishment of fair prices. The food hoarder is work ing agalnsrt the common good and even against the very safety of the oountry. Hoarding food in households is both selfish and unnecessary; the govern ment is protecting the food sugqjly of its people. , “Loyalty in little things is the foun dation of the national strength. Dis loyalty in little things gives add to the enemy. Keep the pledge. "Report to the nearest food adminis tration officer the name and address of any person discouraging the production or saving of food.” IS EPILEPSY CONQUERED?

Amen dment of the select service law so as to exempt citizens or subjects of neutral countries who have declared their in tention to become American citizens is proposed in a bill prepared by the war department in conjunction with the state department and introduced today by Chairman Dent, of the house mili tary committee. Secretary Lansing advised Mr. Dent that the two departments “are strong ly of the opinion that, from the stand point iof international relations, it is highly desirable that the existing# law should stand, unmodified as evidence of a disregard of treaty obligations or even a supposed rule of international conduct heretofore observed by other governments.” Secretary Lansings estimated that "counting out citizens or subjects of treaty countries, who, it is assumed, should be exempted, the amendment would exclude about 30,000 men. of whom not more than 50 per cent and • probably not rfiore than 30 per cent, would' be found eligible for military service.” Os the 30,000, he estimated that one-half are citizens of Mexico and about 40 per cent are sub jects of Scandinavian countries. Secretary Lansing’s letter revealed that many neutral countries already have made insistent protests against conscription of their nationals, causing embarrassment to the government; that the president has found it expedient for international reasons to discharge from the army neutral nationals under certain circumstances, and that the pres ent law has been used abroad as a me dium of irritation by enemy propagan dists Secretary Lansing said the loss of man power involved seemed to him “in consequential in view of the other con siderations at stake in our foreign re lations." “All aliens (except alien enemies) who had declared their intention to become American citizens, were by the selective service act, made lia ble to military service in the same manner as of the United States,” said the secretary’s let ter. The act contained no provisions providing the treaty stipulations by which this government had become obligated to exempt the nationals of Argentina, Costa Rica, Hondu ras, Italy, Japan, Paraguay, Ser bia, Spain and, Switzerland from military service in the United States. It made the declaration of inteation the determining factor,of such liability, although this govern ment is party to several treaties which specifically stipulate that the declaration of intention shall not of itself affect in any way the na tionality of the declarant. And it is the rule of law in the United States, supported by the supreme court of the United Stares decisions, that a declaration of intention does not confer American citizen/hip upon the declarant, or release him from’ his prior allegiance. Appar ently there never has been any in tention on the part of the govern ment to regard such persons, gen erally otherwise than as aliens. Requests for Discharge It was not to be unexpected, therefore, that the department of state should receive numerous and insistent requests from the diplo matic representatives ol neutral countries for the discharge of their nationals who had been conscripted. President Wilson, as commander in-chief of the army, the letter added, had found it possible to meet the requests by discharging aliens after they had been inducted into the military service. Such inductions, however, which is a necessary pre-requisite to dis charge by the president, the letter said, constitutes in reality a. viola tion of the treaty obligations and the accepted international prece dents upon which the protests of foreign diplomatic officers • have been based, and does not afford an adequate solution of the question involved, because, though discharg ed from the army, neutral aliens were nevertheless liable under the selective service act to military service and therefore subject to all the restrictions and conditions of parsons liable under the act in re spect to further service if requested, departure from the United States, and otherwise. Moreover, the act as it now stands has given rise to the report abroad that this government is im pressing neutrals into its armed forces, a report which has apparent ly been seized upon and advertised by enemy propagandists with a view to irritating the sensitive feel ings of certain foreign governments. The war and state departments therefore concur In recommending the passage of the proposed amend ment. A total of. 134,395 nationals of neu tral countries are registered, and of these 33,599 have declared citizenship intention and therefore under the pres ent law are liable for service. • Ex-M. P.

Raid in Progress at Mid night LONDON, Feb. 17.—Hostile aircraft crossed the Kent coast of the Thames estuary about 10 o’clock last evening and proceeded toward London. The raid is still in progress, bdt so far only one bomb is reported to have been drop ped on London. Strong German Raids Precipitate Fighting LONDON, Feb. 16. —Strong German raids against the British forces result ed in considerable fighting south of the Scarpe, according to the report from Field Marshal Haig’s headquarters in France tonight. Leaven of Revolution Working in Belgium WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The leaven of revolution tonight was believed to be working in occupied Belgium. Belgian government cables to the le gation today told of mob uprisings in Belgian cities. Legation officials, peer ing deeper, satv open revolt against' the kaiser an imminent possibility. Attempts by the German government begun January 30 to split Belgium, giv ing Flanders political autonomy, have precipitated a serious crisis, the cables said. Popular resentment, it was said, is fanned by treachery of a Belgian po litical group known as the Activists, which is supporting the German scheme to cripple the nation by the subdivision. Mobs tramping the streets of Ant werp, Brussels and Malines have defied the authorities. Troops have been call ed out to maintain order. Three Bel gian justices of the court which order ed prosecution of the Activists have been deported. The Belgian parliament has formally protested to the German chancellor. Feeling throughout the na tion, the official advices indicated, is at white heat. Just bow successful even an open up rising would be, however, was ques tioned here tonight. During three years of iron-heeled sup pression, Germany, it was pointed out. has vastly weakened if not altogether abolished the resisting power of the lit tle country. Her manhood by thou sands has been deported into Germany. Those remaining have been poorly nour ished, and ground under a reign of ter rorism and intimidation. Gold for Mexico WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The United States has proposed to permit enough gold to be exported to Mexico to satis fy ITesident Carranza's immediate needs as part of the commercial agreement being negotiated. Mexico now has th’e gold to her credit in American banks . No loan of any kind by the United States is contemplated. Take Nuxated Iron, Says Doctor, If You Want Plenty of “Stay There” Strength Like an Athlete! Makes Delicate, Nervous, Rundown People Stronger in Ten Days’ ■ Time, in Many Oases ; j MOST people foolishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, secret nostrum or narcotic J drug, said Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston Physi- A cian who has studied widely, both in this n country and in great European Medical *■ Institutions, when, as a fact, real and IK true strength can only come from the HH food you eat. But people often fail to 19 get the strength out of their food be- w cause they haven’t enough iron in their 1 blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened. \ nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can’t tell what. If ” you are not strong or, well, you owe tt to yourself to make the following test: See bow long you can work or how far jou can walk without becoming tired: Next take two five-grain tablets of or- 1 S dinary nuxated iron three times per day I “ after meals for two weeks. Then test I ? your strength again and see for yourself | how much yon have gained. I have seen I dozens of nervous, run-down people, who I were ailing all the while, most astonish- l c ingly increase their strength and endur- r ance simply by taking iron In the proper 1 form and this after they had in some 1 cases been doctoring for months without I obtaining any benefit. But don’t take the old forms of reduced iron, iron ace tate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can bo easily absorbed and assimilated, like nuxated iron, if you grant it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.
