Polsley 2033 Kim Street, Omaha Nebraska, recently. Mr. Polsley Is fireman for the Union Pacific and is well known In railroad circles. ' I"ve always been strong and well," he continued, "until about nix months ago, when I began to feel my system getting out of fix and my health slipping away from me. My appetite got poor and what little I ate didn't give me nourishment, my liver was sluggish and I had no energy or ambition. I weighed one hundred and forty when my troubles started, but it wasn't long before I had lost sever al pounds and was going down hill and feeling more tired and wornout all the time. I didn't know Just what did ail me, but whatever it waB i made me miserable and unfit for work. "An engineer friend of mine told me how this Tanbic had helped him and advised me to try it, and I did. The first few doses made a big differ, ence in my feelings, and It soon began to prove to be just what I needed. My appetite soon came back and I could eat anything set before me and enjoy it. When finished the third bot tle, I was not only restored to health but I had actually gained ten pounds besides, and now I'm even heavier than I was when my trouble first be gun. Tanlac certainly is wonderful and it was a lucky day for me when I found It." anlac is sld In Alliance by F. By Holsten's in Heminpford by H. R. Olds Drug Co., and In Hoffland by Mallery Grocery Co.

KEPT PLEDGE TO SEND BREAD American Nation Maintained Al lied Loaf Through Self Denial at Home Table. HHj I : AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR. With Military Demand Upon Ocean hipping Relieved, World la Able to Return to Normal Whlta Wheat Bread. Sines the advent of tha lateat wheal crop the only limitation upon Ameri can exporta to Europe haa been the shortage of shipping. Between July 1 .u; October 10 we ahlpped 05,980.80r buahela. If thia rate ahould continue until the end of the flaeaJ year we will have furnished the Alllea with more than 297,500,000 buahela of wheat and (tour In terma of wheat The result of Increased production and conservation efforta In the United Suites has been that with the cestui tlon of hostilities we are able to re turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies that have accumulated tu Australia. Argentine and other hitherto inacres alble marketa may be tapped by ahlps released from transport service, and European demand for American wheal probably will not exceed our normal surplus. There la wheat enough avail able to have a white loaf at the com mon table. But last year the tale was different Only by the greatest possible aavlng and sacrifice were we able to keep a ateady stream of wheat and flour mov ing across the sea. We found our selves at the beginning of the harvest year with an unusually ahort crop. Even the most optimistic statisticians figured that we had a bare surplus of 20,000.000 bushels. And yet Europe wns facing the probability of a brend famine and In Europe brend Is by far the most Important article In the diet All of this surplus hud left the country enrly in the fall. By the first of the year we had managed to ship a little more than &0.000.000 bushels by practicing the utmost economy al home by whentless days, Wheat est meals, heavy substitution of other cereals and by sacrifice at almost every meal throughout the country. In January the late Lord Hliondda, then British Food Controller, enbled that only If we sent an additional 75, 000,000 bushels before July 1 could he take the responsibility of assuring his people that they would be fed. The response of the American peo ple was 85,000,000 bushels safely deliv ered overseas between January 1 and July L Out of a harvest which gave us only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we actuully shipped 141,000.000 bushels. Thus did America fulfill her pledge that the Allied bread rattona could be maintained, and already the American people are demonstrating that, with an awakened war conscience, last year's figures will be bettered. -M- -1--M- -I- -.. ..
