MftS. R. T. BUTTS, of
Kansas City, who says
her life was miserable for two
long years before she began
taking Tanlac. She now de
clares she is enjoying the
best of health and that she
has gained twenty pounds.
•** JP
“If it had not been for Tanlac 1
would still be a sick woman, so I
feel like I ought to tell everyone
what this wonderful medicine has
done for me,” was the sincere state
ment maxle recently by Mrs. R. T.
Butts, 1924 Troost Avenue, Kansas
City, Mo.
"By the help of Tanlac I have got
ten rid of a severe case of nervous
indigestion that had made my life
miserable for the past two years. I
could not eat anything without suf
fering afterward. The gas on my
stomach would rise up into my chest
and press on my heart and at times
would almost cut off my breath. My
nerves were so up-set that the least
unexpected noise would almost dis
tract me. I seldom slept well and
was so nervous I would often roll
and toss until after midnight and
what little sleen I did get seemed
to do me no good. I was also a great
sufferer from headaches and would
often get so dizzy I would have to
hold on to something to keep from
falling.
“One day I happened to see a
testimonial for Tanlac. describing a
case like mine, so I bought a bottle
and before I had finished it I be
gan to feel just like a different per
son. Those terrible headaches dis
appeared and my appetite returned.
When my first bottle was gone I got
another and I kept on improving un
til now I can eat just anything I
want and I never suffer any more
from indigestion. I am not the least
bit nervous and rest well at night
and never know what it is to have
a headache or a dizzy spell.
“Tanlac has not only relieved me
of my suffering, but I have actually
gained 20 pounds in weight and have
not enjoyed such good health for
years. Tanlac is certainly a won
derful medicine and I will always
feel grateful for what it has done
for me. I want to recommend this
medicine to all my friends because 1
believe it will benefit anyone who
is suffering as I did.”
Tanlac Is sold by all leading drug
gists.

“Somebody Suggested We Start a Bank and We Did.”
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.—“l will
lend money to a woman just as
quickly as I will lend to a man,"
says Mrs. Frank J*. Runyon, the first
and only woman bank president in
the United States. She doesn’t show
any favors to either sex, she claims,
but bases her loans entirely on the
collateral the borrower is able to
offer.
Mrs. Runyon is president of the
First Woman’s Bank in Tennessee,
a local institution, capitalized at
$15,000. Deposits total $54,000 and
the bank is only a little over six
months old. All officers and members
of the directorate are women, and
by agreement use their hus
bands’ initials instead of their own.
Even the bank’s porter is a colored
woman.
"Starting a bank was rather an
accidental circumstance for us,”
Mothers Now Studying to Keep
Up With Children; Like It Fine
Thirty mothers and grandmothers
living in a Chicago neighborhood,
some of them 60 years old, have
started to school to learn readin’,
’ritin, ’n’ 'rithmetic.
They are women who have been
so busy with their family duties ,
while their children were growing |
up that they had no time to study. I
Now that the children have learn

oldest ones have been graduated
from high school and college, the >
parents feel, they say, that the ;
children are ashamed of them; that
they are growing away from the
old home. So these fine mothers, i
with .a spirit as big as ever im- i

three afternoons a week.

English.
“I have a daughter, and she went

Mrs. Runyon said. ‘When the war
ended I was county Red Cross chair
man and most of the women now in
the bank were associated with me.
Somebody suggested that we start a
bank and we did, although none of
us knew anything about banking.
They elected me as president.”
Mrs. Runyon had posted a set of
books for her husband, who is a
physician, but knew nothing of
finance. For two months before the
bank was opened, she and the pres
ent cashier went to a neighboring
town and studied in a small bank
there, without stating their inten
tions.
All the bank stock, by agreement,
is held by members of the directors'
families, no one person being per

PROHIBITION FIGHT
MW JIB WILSON'S
LEAGUE PROGRAM
Washington, June 24.—Presi- j
dent Wilson's treaty plank may bo
the chief gainer from the anticipat
ed prohibition fight at the Demo
cratic convention, it Was believed in
administration quarters here today.
It was further intimated that a
plan of strategy aimed to make the
treaty the beneficiary of the liquor
row has gone to San Francisco and
may be employed if necessary.
Broadly the plan as explained here
is to allow wet and dry factions,
which include most of the treaty
foes, to “get worked up” over pro
hibition and then bring the treaty
plank before the convention. If the
.wo liquor factions show signs of
combining on the treaty question,
then the administration forces will
still be in a position to make a trade
of strength with one side or the oth
er, it is explained.
While administration backers do
not believe such tactics will have to
be used for the treaty, plank, they
have put themselves In the position
where they can use them if neces
sary.
One of the chief foes of the Wil
son treaty ideas is William Jennings
Bryan. But it is believed here that
prohibition is closer to Bryan’s heart
than the treaty.
New York, Masachusetts and Illi
nois delegates are also credited with
being lukewarm on the treaty. But
they have more interest in a liberal
liquor plank, it is believed here.
Once the Bryan and wet forces get
into a prohibition battle, administra
tion leaders believe the bitterness en
gendered will precent their combin
ing on the treaty question.
If such a combination should
threaten, the plan of Wilson leaders
is to forestall it by swinging suffi
cient strength to either the wets or
drys to give one faction a majority
in exchange for that faction’s sup
port of the administration treaty
plank.
Such a trade would be made pos
sible, It was pointed out here, by the
fact that the administration support
ers contain both wets and drys.
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
for instance, are both known drys.
Senator Carter Glass is believed to
lean toward prohibition.
Postmaster Genral Burleson has
declared for a modification of the
Volstead law and Secretary of State
Colby is generally credited with hav
ing wet leanings.
With this line up at San Francisco
the administration forces will have
avenues of approach to both wet and
dry factions, it is poined op. here.

penitentiary of Texas, where he was
sent for indulging in the practice he
put into execution in Savannah. Tift,
or Mowery, got himself introduced
into the two banks by Colonel Sigo
Myers, a well-known Savannah finan
cier, and by Joseph Savarese, who is
engaged in selling real estate. He
had agreed to buy some very choice
lots from Mr. Sa varese. He was
smply on friendly terms with Col
onel Myers. The latter sent for the
president of the Mercantile Bank and
Trust company personally to intro
duce him to that official as a godo
customer. After getting the cash on
some bogus New I York cashier’s
checks, Mowery bought about $25,000
worth of Liberty bonds from the
Citizens and Southern Bank and paid
for th,em with checks on the two
banks where he was supposed to
have* deposits. He used certified
checks to make the purchases with.
He said he was operating a small
lumber plant near. Savannah , He
knew a good deal about the Tift in
i terests in and around Tifton appar
ently. for he talked with a number
of people about his "relatives” there
and their activities.
The representative of the concern
that is here looking for him from At
lanta says he is an old operator and
well known crook and that he has
been in trouble in many states. It is
believed he will be caught before
long, as he will try to get rid of the
Liberty bonds he bought. These
are of large denominations. One of
them is for SIO,OOO.

Take € ‘Dodson’s Liver Tone” Instead!
If you feel bilious, headachy, con

to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable substi

SOVIET RULE
ESTABLISHED ’
AT IRKUTSK
IRKUTSK, June 19. — (By the As
sociated Press.) Soviet rule has
been thoroughly established in
Irkutsk. All institutions have been
nationalized, most of the stores have
been closed and a permit is necessary
even to purchase a newspaper. Food
conditions are most deplorable.
Few foreigners and no foreign con
sular officials remain in Irkutsk.
The Associated Press correspond
ent, in_ reaching Irkutsk, made a 2,000
mile cretourfi which eook six weeks,
from Vladivostok through China and'
Mongolia and across the 700 mile
stretch of the Gobi dessert. He was
the first American to enter the soviet
boundaries from the East since the
collapse of the Kolchak regime.
Crossing the Mongolian frontier, he
entered the new buffer state of the
Far Eastern republic, and found it
necessary to wait at this republic’s
capital, ’ Verkhnie-Udinsk, for Bol
shevik permission to enter soviet ter
ritory. He received an answer from
Irktusk that an American press rep
resentative would be welcome.
The Far Eastern situation Is of
paramount Interest to the soviet au
thorities. The fifth Bolshevik army,
which broke the power of Admiral
Kolchak, is stationed near this city,
and is watching developments at
Verknie-Udinsk and Chita. The Bol
shevik side of the Selgna river has
been newly entrenched ahd the soviet
army is ready for action in case its
territory is Invaded by the Japanese.
There is direct rail and telegraph
communication from here to Moscow,
and it is claimed trains make the trip
in fourteen days.
Newspapers here print the daily
official statement regarding' opera
tions on the Polish front and state
ments by Lenine, Russian Bolshevik
premier, on the foreign affairs of the
country. '
Absent 25 Years, He
Returns to Find Wife
Living in Same Room
AMERICUS*. Ga., June 24.—Unex
pected by his wife who had waited
for his return since he left Americus
twenty-five years ago, J. W. Clark
returned here last night. When he
walked into his wife’s home, unan
nounced, he found her living in- the
same room of the same house, where
they had resided together twenty-five
years ago. Much of the furniture
Which they had then used also re
mained in the room. Recognition was
mutual, although neither had seen
the other during a quarter of a.cen
tury.
Since Mr. Clark left Americus, his
two children have both died, his
daughter having grown into a beau
tiful young woman, and having died
only a few years ago. During his
absence he had written Mrs. Clark
occasional letters, and it is said he
amassed a considerable fortune
through staking a homested in Car
raco county, Oklahoma, adjoining re
cently developed oil fields. Several
years ago, it is stated, Mr. Clark,
after soliciting his wife to leave
Americus and live with him, suggest
ed that she secure a divorce, but Mrs.
Clark declined to do. this. Several
years ago her father, the late Mr.
Frank Hill, passed away, and about
a year ago Mrs. Clark’s mother, who
had resided with her, also died. Mr.
Clark returned home, it is said, soon
after he learned Mrs. Clark’s mother
had died, and the reunion was a joy
ous one.
