Ilir.es, wbo made his first official visit to Chicago today as director general of railroads, speaking at a Press club .dinner, said the time now is- propitious for solving the rail road problem, with the public more nearly appreciative of the service of the lines than ever before. lie said the expenditures required of the government for operation of the road-t would not show as great a loss a9 many people suppose. In speaking of "a permanent so lution of the railroad question." the director general said he believed "gome form of private management" would follow the termination of government control. But he assert ed the old plan of private operation by some 170 companies would never again be successful. He said the suggestions of S. Davles Warfield. head of an organ ization of railway securities hold ers, for a statutory standard of reas onable rates and for 6 per cent re turn on the entire investment in each region were getting nearer to one of the fundamental? involved, than other proposals that had been made. sugar, window glass, electrical ma chinery and other articles. Any of the allied governments may pur chase these products and their rep resentatives are expected to pro ceed at once to Cologve to arrange details as to prices. Purchases by the allies are not to exceed two thirds cf the surplus of any of these products which Germany hps for sale. The other third may be ex ported as Germany may see fit.

The league of nations plan supported by President Wilson is the only one before the world today, and either that or nothing else must be adopt ed, declared United States Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock in an address before the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce here today. He placed special emphasis on the fact that thoes who believe the I'nited States should pursue a policy of splendid isolation are few and quite mistaken. He warned that there is no guarantee that there will not be more wars if the nations do not hand into a league. He com mended former President Taft for advocating the league even though it does not embody all his ideas. Senator Hitchcock denied that the Japanese might force the United States to settle the inunigratino question by appealing to a league of nations. EASTERN STAR NOTICE. Home Chapter 189 O. E.

For fifteen years I had stomach trouble." 'she continued, "and I couldn't eat a bite of anything without being mis erable for hours afterwards. . I ul-o had bilious spells and my head would ache like an iron band was tied around it, and often I would get as yellow as a pumpkin. I was nervous too, and so restless and fidgety that often I couldn't go to bed and go to sleep but I would have nervous rigors and many a nilit I have laid awake waiting and hoping for morning to come and sometime I couldn't lie in bed any longer and would just have to get up and sit in a chair, for the rest of the night. I finally got so weak that I couldn't have walked a block if I had been paid a hundred dollars to do it and I felt so bad all the time that life was a burden to me. I tried all kinds of treatments and medicines but none of them did me a bit of good and I began to think there was no hope for me at all. "When I heard about Tanlac do ing so much good and decided to try it I was too weak to go for a bottle mvself. and had to send my daugh ter. I didn't believe it possible for any medicine to do what Tanlac has already done for me. Before I fin ished the first bottle my strength began to come back and I could sleep better than I have for years. Of course I rodered some more and kept on taking it according to direc tions and now I feel as strong and healthy as I did thirty years ago. I don't have any more bilious spells and the headaches are gone and my skin is clear again. When meal time comes I have a good appetite and don't have to worry about what I eat or how much because it all agrees with me. All signs of nerv ousness have left me ad now when I go to bed I fall asleep almost as soon as my head touches the pill;w. I don't have to send my daughter to the store for Tanlac now, as I can go myself and only the other day I walked down and bought six bottles. I weighed while I was down there and found I had gained twenty pounds. My daughter and I both think Tanlac saved iny life and I never intend to be without a bottle of this grand medicine In my house as long as I live." "Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by F. G.
