Whether this was intended for the " board or for State Treasurer George Hall, was not made clear, but Mr. . Hall took it up and proceeded to charge Mr. Harrington with impugn ing the motives of the board. He shook his fist across the table at Har- 1 rington. Just as Mr. Hall was about t touch off another rocket, Governor Neville waved his arms over the table and called for peace at any price. Governor Calms Men. The governor said that nothing could be gained by getting outside : of the question before the board. It was simply a question or the ngnis ot former leaseholders under the law and he proposed that one side present arguments regarding the law and tl.en the other side should give its interpretation. The American Potash company is trying to get the -right to take water from potash lakes, where the lakes on which the company al ready has leases from private in dividuals extend onto state lands. .

Thomas Skeyhill, an Anzac, who has been wounded many times and whose Vght only recently was part'y restored to him. asserted that many of the -allied failures were due pii marily to lack of preparedness. Roosevelt Applauded. Colonel Roosevelt was greeted with applause, which was not stilled until the national anthem had been sung by the audience. "Three years ago today," Jie said, "the Lusitania was sunk. I wish that every flag in this city had stood at half mast today, for this should be a penitential day forever for America. When the Lusitania was sunk we still failed to prepare and the fact that we thus failed, the fact that we failed to a:t, showed that our unpreparedness was as profound in the soul as in the body We suffered from spiritual no less than from physical unprepared ness. Thank, and humbly thank, our Gcd that at last our people have waked. It was the 11th hour, but.it was not 'the 12th. "Our business is to do the fighting and do it now. We have gone into tiie war, but do not forget we have only gone in about one-half of 1 per cent as yet. "No American has the right to feel satisfied until we have in France so many million fighting men that the strain will have been taken off the French and the English armies and transferred to us, for we deserve to bear it. I hope to see immediately provision made tor an army of 5,000. 000 men and at the same time tell the war department, that if they need them, another 5,000,000 men can be had, too. And remember that under the ' conditions of modern war not only must men be trained, but they must be armed with the admirable and delicate mechanisms of modern warfare. Speed up the building of the ships, of guys yid airplanes. I Must Supply Guns. " "As yet, we have not a field gun or an . airplane of American manu facture at the other side and hardly a machine gun. The cannon, the air planes and machine guns that our army uses have been obtained from our hard pressed allied fronts and we have gotten the clothes that the men of the army wear from England. "We must remedy those conditions at the earliest possible moment and we must understand that every twenty-four hours needless delay in rem edying them is a crime against this country and a crime against civiliza tion. Work three eight-hour shifts out of every 24 and have it under stood that any man who makes an improper profit out of thi? war is a traitor to this country. If there is a single man of wealth vho at the end of the war is not poorer than when the war started, he will have much to explain. "So much for the capitalists and the same thing applies to the wage earner. See that the big man of means does not profit more out of the war than is necessary in order that the business shall be run, and see that the working man doe. his wuk up to the handle.

According to nws received from Russia through independent Swedish nd Dutch channels, as forwarded from Chris tian! in a dispatch to the Times, ru mors of the overthrow of the bol sheviki government, which have been current recntly, are unfounded. They are probably due to the fact that the soviet administration is now moving in the direction of greater moderation. The council of all com missioners is now compelled to fight theanarchists, says the dispatch, just aj Kerensky's government had to fight the bolsheviki. Leon Trotzky, minister of war and marine, is advocating compulsory labor, resulting in friction with the anarchists. Next to the establishment of the new navy, the dispatch continues: "The most reassuring feature is that officials of the Kerensky regime are rpciiniinc work. This has resulted in restoration of order to a remarkable degree, especially in the distrbution of foodstuffs. Living Belgian Flag Popular in Brussels Paris, May 7. A coal-black negro, a citizen of the Belgian Congo, dressed completely in red, propelling a push cart painted yel low, may be seen on the boule vards of Brussels, says Libre Bel gique, a Belgian newspaper, which the Germans have been unable to suppress. The negro is selling shoe polish. Belgians who still possess shoes take great pleasure in buying fro.n the negro. He is doing a rushing business and probably will continue to do so until it niters through the- Germans' thick cranium that the quality of the shoe polish is not the reason for the negro's popularity with pur chasers, but the fact that, as he perambulates down the boulevards his black visage, red costume and yellow cart represent a living Bel gian flag. Then it wilt he the "Kommandan- tur" and the cool shade of St. Gilles prison for the black, red and yel- 1 ow man. ( i Pro Cattle were STATE PIONEERS ARE HONORED FOR ACHIEVEMENTS (From .

The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it impossible to completely satisfy both. The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be expected of him is that he vkeep the difference ' between the two as low as possible.

The evidence regarding the value of Tanlac in the treatment of stom ach trouble and the complications re- -suiting therefrom is too conclusive to even admit of doubt. Thousands every where have testified to the benefits they have derived from its use and in each case, where a fair test of its powers is made, another enthusiastic -witness is the invariable result. In a recent statement made at a Sher man & McConncll drug store regard ing the benefits his wife has derived from the use of Tanlac, Charles B. Smith of 6051 Military avenue, proprietor of the European hotel at Benson, said: s N . "I am more than glad to add my name to the list of Tanlac testimonials on account.of the good it has done my wife, who had been suffering from ;' indigestion for several weeks without being able to get any relief. Her stomach was so upset that she couldn't eat anything but what would sour, causing gas and much pain and distress. She was subject to frequent dizzy spells and fainty feelings and her condition had become one of al most constant suffering and worry. , "She has seen so many testimonials here lately from people who have been relieved of similar symptoms by taking Tanlac that she concluded to give it a trial, and while her case was a very stubborn one Tanlac seems to have conquered it almost entirely already. She began to feel better in just a few days and after using the second bottle her improve ment was very noticeable. She has taken four bottles now and her appe tite is good and she can eat most any thing she wants without suffering; from gas and indigestion. The dizzi ness has worn away until she hardly feels it any more and, while she's at ill taking Tanlac, sheta already much better than she has been 4n a long time." V Indigestion is not only one of the most distressing but one of the most prevalent of all diseases. It is also one of the niost difficult to treat and has baffled the medical profession for years, the. most skilled specialists being unable to cope with it success fully. Hours might be consumed in describing the suffering, mentally and bodily,' of the victims of this dreadful malady. A morbid, unreal. whimsical and melancholy condition of the mind, aside from Ihe nervous and physical suffering, is the usual condition of the average dyspeptic. ; Maniac, the celebrated .medicine which has proven of such great bene fit to those suffering from this trou- Iple, contains certain medicinal prop erties which, being purely vegetable, are rapidly taken up by the system, thereby stimulating the appetite and aiding digestion by assisting the stomach in converting the food into nourishing elements that ' build up tissue and nerve force.
