"After everything else failed to do
me any good Tanlac put me into fine
shape and I am feeling like an en
tirely different man." said George
II. Davidson. 2215 East Capitol
Ave..DesMoines,Iowa.
"For ten years I suffered with in
digestion so bad I couldn't eat any
thing without it souring on my
stomach and bloating me up till
had to fight for breath, and my heart
palpitated so terribly I was afraid
to climb a ladder for fear I would
fall. A year ago I hail an attack of
the "flu" which left me in a much
worse condition than ever.
i "My nerves were shattered and I
coma not sleep at night. I had no
energy and just felt tired all the
time. Then rheumatism effected
my arms so that it was agony to use
a hammer and saw, and my lets and
feet pained me so much I couldn't
stand for long at a time.
"My first bottle of Tanlac did me
a world of good, and in a short time
I could eat anything I wanted and
never have a touch of indigestion.
All signs of the rheumatism have
left me and I can use my arms and
legs without having a twinge of
pain. I have gained considerably in
weight, my nerves are steady and
I sleep like a log at night. I am
now energetic and strong and my
work is a pleasure insteaTl of drud
gery." Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by

Washington. Jan. 19. Provisions
of the Calder bill for federal regula
tion of the coal industry were de
nounced as "revolutionary in their
application to relations to the Amer
ican government and to the indust
ry, by J. 1). A. Morrow, vice presi
dent of the national coal association
today before the senate manufactures
committee. Another witness. Hous
ton Thompson, chairman of the feder
al trade commission, however, be
gan an endorsement of the measure.
which he will resume tomorrow.
When Mr. Morrow remarked that
the committee "between three days"
was passing upon a proposal lor price
fixing and a measure that was "bare-
short of nationalization of coal
mines, Senator Jones, democrat.
New Mexico, retorted that members
of the committee iiad spent months
ind years in study of the situation.
Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri,
asked Mr. Morrow whether provisions
of the Calder bill f;r publicity of
production costs, prices, distribution
ind stocks of coal were object iona
lo mine owners.
"If we could be sure," Mr. Morrow
replied, "that in consenting to the
compulsory demand of the govern
ment for these statistics, we would
not be admitting interpretations of
the constitution and its principles
which would allow the government
ia far bevond that."
'I tiiink you would have little
rouble."
He indicated, however, that, his
rganization's position would be tc
tand upon ilie declared constitution
al position, which Senator Reed said
was "all wrong."
f'hairman LaFollette switched the
amination to bear on association
nd Mr. Morrow cited its annual ex
penses as about .!0,'iuo -covering
o activities which, he said, in re
cent years were "abnormal" and his
own salary at $18,000 per annum.
All this Senator LaFollette observed,
"had to come out of co;l production
costs" and Senator Rer-d pointed offi
cers of the mine workers' union pres
ent and suggested the miners had I
". ome organization costs to come out
of coal too." Mr. Morrow agreed to
both suggestions.
Senator Reed drew from the wit
ness statements that coal resources
cf the United States are immense.
Chairman Thompson explained
that the federal trnde commission
in 1920 had embarked upon cost-
fi'uling investigations in the coal in
dustry. but hail been stopped by the
courts upon the appeal of the nation
al coal association.
Basic coal prices since 1911 have
increased about 100 per cent, due
to advances in supplies. Increased
depiction charges and higher wages
t ho last being the most important
Mr. Morrow said.

The attorney general's inactivity

"Our national honor is involved.
