HE COULD HARDLY
HARNESS HIS
Iowa Farmer Says His Muscles Felt
Like Tied in Knots Before He
Began Taking Tanlac.
"Tanlac has relieved me of a case
of indigestion- from which 'I suffered
for years mid has added ten pounds
to my weight, besides," said Joseph
Haas, a well-known farmer living tit
Kenwood Park, Iowa.
"It hardly seems possible that 1
am now a well man, after suffering
as long as I have, but anybody who
knew ine before can see that such is
the case. I had no appetite and
everything I ate caused severe pains
in my stomach. I had miserable sick
headaches, and often while plowing
such spells of dizziness came on me
that 1 flt like I would fall.
"I had rheumatism in all my limbs,
with sharp, shooting pains, and often
after a day's work my muscles felt
like they were tied in knots. I had
such pains in my arms that often it
was all I could do to harness up my
horse. I tried about everything that
was recommended to me in the way
of medicines, but in spite of it all 1
lost weight and strength continual
ly and kept getting worse.
"But my first bottle of Tanlac con
vinced me that I had found the medi
cine for my case, and now I feel like
a new man. My appetite is fine and
everything I eat agrees with me per
fectly. I no longer have headaches
or spells of dizziness, and my arms
and logs are free from those rheu
matic pains. I am brimful of new
life and energy and can plow all day
or do any other kind of hard work."
Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by
V. G. Fricke and Company; in Mur
ray by the Murray Drug company,
and the leading druggist in every
town.

NOTES
Hens Respond to Good Care.
That it is possible to make hens
lay during the winter months is
demonstrated by the egg-laying con
test conducted at the State College,
cf Agriculture. The November re
port shows that ten hens laid IS or
more eggs during that month, and
five of these laid 20 or more, with
the highest laver producing 14 eggs.
I These pullets are not given any mir
aculous care, nut uo nave proper ieeu
ing and housing, and also are well
bred. Good breeding plus proper
care produce eggs. The college has
gathered statistics from 25 counties
on the work of its extension poultry
specialists in culling non-layers from
farm flocks. Eight hundred and thirty-six
flocks containing 91.902 birds
were culled. 32.404 poor layers be
ing removed. The production of the
flocks before culling was 10,629. and
after more than one-third of the birds
were removed it was 16,3 So. These
figures speak for themselves as to
the economy of reducing every flock
to the good layers.

NEGROES TO VOTE
Southern Members Resent Charges
of Disfranchisement First Charge
Brings on Storm of Denials
Washington. Dec. 30. Wholesale
charges of wilful discrimination
against negroes in the southern
states were made by representatives
of the national association for the ad
vancement of colored people today
before the house census committee,
and brought forth vigorous objec
tions from committee members from
the south. The committee was con
sidering legislation to reapportion
ment congressional representation.
The first charge, made by the asso
ciation's representatives, brought on
a storm of denials and additional
charges that gathered In volume as
the session progressed and reached its
climax at the close with the appear
ance of a photographer to take a
group picture of the committee in
cluding its southern members, wit
nesses and spectators, of whom a
number were negroes.
When Walter F. White, assistant
secretary of the organization, declar
ed that the majority of the white
population of many southern com
munities were "lawless", southern
members of the committee jumped to
their feet.
"I decline to sit silent and let wit
nesses make wholesale charges of
slander against one section of the
United States," exclaimed Represent
ative Larsen, democrat of Georgia.
"Let them confine themselves to facts
within their personal knowledge."
Representative Bee, democrat of
Texas, and Aswell, democrat of Lou
isiana seconded their Georgia col
league in energetic fashion.
Chairman SieErel interjected to sav
' the committee had decided to let wit
j nesses make their statements and
members question thm afterwards.
The chairman, however, was often
forced to call members to order when
they protested against letting state
ments of witnesses pass unchal
lenged. Charges of disfranchisement of ne
groes in the south aLur-ueie made
by J. Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the association, who said his organi
zation had been formed eleven years
ago to work for equal political rights
for negroes.
Representative Larsen. rejoined
that the association was forme. 1 by
certain whites and nejrroes in tho
north to get back to conditions before
primaries became general in the
south, when he said the negro vote
was a remarkable commodity. The
association, he added, maintained se
cret agents throughout the outh
and thrived on propaganda.
