E. F. to Europe if Ger- many begins to again fortify the Rhine valley, or to take other steps of an aggressive nature. The British are likewise bound to send another B. E. F. to France under the same condition. All three of us are signa- tories to the treaty. Now it would seem at first that the treaty is a little one- sided. The French and British do not bind themselves to lend us an army and fleet if we are attacked by Mexico or Japan. And, as a consequence, a number of critics are complaining that we have again been victimized. But the one-sidedness of the treaty is only apparent. It may grieve a number of us to see this country assuming any of the obligations implied in a foreign alliance. Perhaps they are right. Any treaty at all may be bad policy for the United States.: But that does not make that treaty unfair. France is compelled to maintain a stupendous army to overawe German military ambition, and the resulting financial burden presses heavily on her economic strength. She is for- ever on guard—and as Germany has a score to settle with us as well as with her, this is fortunate for ourselves. Here is where France reciprocates. Great Britain, also. It is well for us that England can pay for a navy which will prevent the Germans from sending warships to sea, and incidentally to our own coast. If Britain and France can pay the cost of eternal vigilance, we can hardly call the treaty one-sided. Wilson and Lansing probably had a few of these facts in mind when they signed it. i, GRAIN AND RAILROADS We are told that the crops this year will break a few more records. It is fairly evident that they are going to be large. But the farmer can not eat his own wheat. Not all of it. He may raise turnips, but he does not mean to live on turnips exclusively for the rest of his life. His idea is too sell his pro- duce, rather than to eat it himself. | These are fairly elementary truths, and we would apol- ogise for expressing them if they appeared to be universally known. But they do not. They don’t seem to be appreciated at Washington. Wheat is not of much use to the consumer if it can not be transported to him. And the railroads do not at present look| as though they could do it. Then how is it to be carried? Aeroplanes? The banks have been preparing to finance the moving of| the crops, as they do each year; but just now it looks as though fiscal adjustments were going to be held up. The railroads seem unable to say anything definite about the prospect of repaying any loans. Congress was going to arrange some settlement which would enable the roads to confer with the banks on a footing of some certainty, but it has omitted to do so, with the prospect that the grain will remain in the elevators and food prices will soar to heaven. S If, as some think, America is to eventually take over the administrating affairs in Turkey, we suggest Messrs. Dempsey and Willard as most excellent timber for the front ranks of our army in the land of the sultan. Their prowess might prove of some practical value to their country. : SRS = In the absence of more satisfying methods, however, our thirsty friends might allay their sufferings by backing up and YEARS OF TROUBLE | ENDED AND SHEHAS GAINED 15 POUNDS| My Friends»;a:__[’m Looking l Years Youneer, She Says— Tanlac Brings Relief. ““When I began taking Tanlac I had been down in bed for three months and just think of it, I'm feeling as strong and healthy as I ever felt in my life,” said Mrs. Mollie J. Lord, who resides at the East Denver High school, Denver, Colorado, in an in- terview recently. Mrs. Lord has lived in Denver for the past twenty- five years, her husband has been in charge of Ihe East Denver High school building for twenty-two years and they are highly respected by all who know them. “Years ago,” continued Mrs. Lord, “I had an attack of bronchitis from which 1 contracted catarrh of the head and stomach. The trouble got a firm grip on me because for a long time I tried to make myself believe I didn't have catarrh, but at last I realized I was in a bad fix. My nose and throat were feverish and the mucus collecting in my throat would nauseate and almost choke me: My stomach got in such a bad condition I couldn’t even eat potatoes or toast. In fact, everything would sour al- most as soon as 1 had eaten it and the gas caused such a burning and fluttering around my heart that I was afraid I had heart trouble. Sleep seemed impossible for me. 1 would toss and roll in bed and have to jump up every little while so I could get my breath. My kidneys worried me constantly and my back hurt me so bad at times it felt like it would break in two. *I doctored and took everything 1 heard of but kept getting worse until 1 just had to give up and go to bed. 1 never got any better until I began taking Tanlac and it certainly has been a Godsend to me. I can tell from the way my clothes fit that I have gained all of fifteen pounds and 1 have not only gotten relief from the catarrh in both my head and stomach, but my kidneys are also in perfect . condition and I don’t have any more R3] " el ¥ pain in my back I go to sleep as soon R as I get in bed and sleep soundly all right long. My stomach never troubles me now and, oh, it's such a pleasure to be able to eat what I want without suffering afterwards. And since the gas has stopped form- ing all the burning sensation and palpitation of the heart is gone. My friends say I'm looking years younger and I can certainly endorse Tanlac in the highest terms and expect to al: ways have it on hand in case I should need it.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, and in Baudette by J. Will- jams .
