"Nothing kept me on the payroll of the Illinois Meter Co. but Tanlac, for I had already made arrangemens to give up my position when I began taking it," said G. C.

James, who lives at 1419 Franklin Springfield. Ill. "I had suffered from rheumatism and stomach trouble for fifteen years," he continued, "and got in such bad shape I could hardly get about. The rheumatism, was especially bad in my sometimes my left leg would swell to twice its normal size. My kidneys were also in such condition I could seldom get a good night's rest, and SO far as eating was concerned- -well, before I began taking Tanlac I had not enjoyed a meal in years.

I suffered so from indigestion, and I had such dizzy spells I would have to lie down. I became SO weak I often gave out completely while at work and they would have to take me home in a car, so it is a wonder I held up at all. "One day one of the men I work with suggested that I try Tanlac and as long as I live I will pratse the day I bought it, for I haven't a trace of rheumatism now and I eat everything set before me without any after effects. The dizzy spells are things of the past and my kidneys never bother me any more; every night I sleep like a log and weigh just thirtveight pounds more than I did when I began taking Tanlac. I feel twenty vears younger and perfect health.

and there is nothing in the world I would take for the good Tanlac has done me." Pick up ending. Tanlac is sold in Galena by Haines and by the leading druggists in every town.

George Washington Lee WAS the most boastful darky in the regiment.

All the way across on the transport he had been telling the world what he was going to do to the German army. Naturally when the outfit finally arrived in the front lines his companions looked for him to produce. But Wash appeared to be in no hurry. "Yo' all so brave, why don' yo' go out an' git some of dem Jummans lak yo' said?" sneered one. "Ah's gwine.

Ah's gwine. Gimme time," responded George. He peeked cautiously over the top. Seeing no activity from the German line he crawled over and finally stood erect. "Come on, Jumman," he quavered.

Then he waited. Silence reigned supreme. "Come on, yo' cowards!" he shouted, feeling safe at last. "Come on out heah an' meet vo' master. Come on, show me somethin', Ah'm waitin'." At that moment a German artilleryman dropped a shell within a dozen yards of Wash.

The explosion blew him unhurt back into his own trench. "What yo' got ter say now?" taunted a companion." Wash considered. "Well." he retorted, "no matter what you say about dem Jummans, yo' gotta admit they suah gives vo' service when yo' ask fo' it." -The Home Sector.

A wave of new business methods and changes in long established prices on certain articles may occur in Galena consequent to the announcement of a ruling of the United States supreme court, to the effect that it was illegal for manufacturers to fix the price at which retailers or distributors should sell their product. The ruling of the supreme court that the practice is illegal is a reversion of a former decision by lower courts, that the law did not prohibit resale price fixing unless there was the intent to create a monopoly. Price fixing was first resorted to by manufacturers, local dealers declare, to prevent destuctive, unfair competition and the prevalence of price cutting below a sound business cost price and even below in order to make a sale and hurt the business of a competitive line. A large firm with sufficient capital could wreck a competitor, dealers say.
