And Now Works Every Day

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.

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

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

The German authorities are anxious
regarding the fate of Qerman prisoners
In north Russia, whom the Bolsheviki
are holding as hostages, and who, Ber

Germany has already served notice on
the Bolsheviki authorities that she will

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.

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.”

LANSING URGES
EXEMPTION FOR
NEUTRAL ALIENS
Intimates in Letter to Chair
man Dent That Complica
tions Might Follow Forcing
Them in Army
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.—. 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

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

sands has been deported into Germany.
Those remaining have been poorly nour
ished, and ground under a reign of ter
rorism and intimidation.

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. Many an ath
lete or prize fighter has won the day
simply because he knew the secret of
great strength and endurance which comes
from having plenty of iron in the Mood,
while many another has gone down to in
glorious defeat simply for the lack of
iron.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron which to prescribed
and recommended above by Dr. E. Saner,
