C. D. Martin, Locomotive Engi
necr, Says Tanlac Ended 12
Years' Trouble Gained
Sixteen Pounds."
"I wasn't looking so much for gain
in weight as I was for relief from my
suffering, but I have gotten both and
ot course. I'm strong for Tanlac," said
C D. Martin of 454 Taylor st. North,
Portland, Or., to a Tanlac representa
tive recently. Mr. Martin was a loco

and was at one time connected with the
Santa Fe system,' his run being out of
El Paso, Tex. At present he is em
ployed by the Columbia Shipbuilding
Co., being in charge of the yard engine
work at night. -
"Cp ' to the time I started taking
Tanlac I certainly was in bad shape,"
continued Mr. Martin. "I was ao run
down that I fell off sixteen pounds in
weight and felt so miserable and worn
out at times that I lost a lot of time
from my work. I had suffered with
stomach trouble and Indigestion for
twelve years and I also used to have
attacks of bronchial asthma that trou
bled me a good deal. My appetite
wasn't the best in the world, either,
and what little I did eat didn't seem to
do me any good, because It Just looked
like it would sour and ferment in my
stomach and give me trouble. My liver
didn't seem to act like It ought to and
I suffered a lot with constipation and
headaches and got to where I didn't
seem to have any energy and it was
just a drag for me to do any work at
all. When I would have the asthma it
just looked like I could hardly breathe
and the only way. I seemed to get any
rest waa to prop myself up in bed. I
had taken different kinds of medicine,
but nothing ever gave me the relief
I was looking for, so I hardly knew
what to do next. I had been living in
California, but had to leave San Diego
last year because the climate there
didn't seem to agree with me and I
came to Portland.

it was helping others and when some
friends of mine advised me to take it,
I decided I would and I want to say
right here that the way It helped me
certainly was a grand surprise to me.

had been taking it awhile and my
stomach is in fine shape now, because
can eat anything I want and enjoy
every mouthful and I never have a bit
of troublofwith my stomach afterwards.
I haven't had those bad attacks ot
asthma In eight or ten months now,
feci full of energy to do my work, and
I am working right along, too, and I
have actually gotten back the sixteen
pounds in weight I had lost. I cer
tainly am feeling better every way and
my wife also has taken Tanlac for
rheumatism and nervousness And got
ten good results, so you can understand
why I am so strong for Tanlac."

a study of prehistoric remains scat-1
tered over the state.
The widespread belief that the ancient
aborigines of Texas were practically
the same as the fierce tribes encoun
tered in modern times by the early
white settlers is largely the result of I
want of knowledge of prehistoric re
mains. In the opening years of the!
18th century. Apaches, Comanches and
other savage tribes roamed over Texas
following the buffalo or raiding across
it into Old Mexico. Some of the Texas
tribes were reported to have been can
nibals.
There seems to have been consistent
hostilities between these Indians In
which smaller tribes were extermi
nated. The number and extent of work
shops and village sites may be the sole
surviving indication of some of these
tribes. They certainly imply great an
tiquity and the objects from these sites I
differ from those in use by the historic I
Indians.

Have Developed "Give Me" At

EUGENE. Or.. July . (Special.)
That the French and American soldiers
do not get along t an these days, since
there is no more fighting, is the state
ment in a letter written by Lieutenant
Archer Leech, son of Rev. and Mrs.
1. II. Leech of this city, who is now at
St. Naiaire, France.
Only the night before he wrote the
letter he and another lieutenant were
compelled to break up a fight between
some French soldiers and some Ameri
can ne;ro soldiers. The lieutenant says
It will be a good thing for both the
American soldiers and the French when
all the members of the A. E. F. leave
France.
Lieutenant T.eech says In his letter
that the trouble with all Europeans is
that they have the "give-me" attitude.
It is a strong individual trait, he says,
and is fast becoming a national one.
He says that the French expect Amer
ica to support them. They are calling
for food, coal and money and still they
are on a strike, he writes.
He declares that they have spent
more effort "peddling"'thelr woes than
they have In helping themselves to get
started again. They think the Ameri
cana are proud and arrogant, but. Lieu
tenant Leech says, "we can't help It
when we figure that we are from a
country that is not asking favors from
anyone."

EARLIEST INDIAN TRACED
Bureau of Ethnology Delves Into
rreliistorio Life.
WASHINGTON. In order to put
Texas on the archaeological map of the
country by gathering evidences of the
character of Indian life there before
the coming of the white man, the bu
reau of ethnology has lately inaugu
rated studies in that field which prom
ise Important results. Notwithstanding
its macnitude. very little attention has
been paid to the many evidences of an
aboriidnal population In Texaa before
the advent of white settlers. This is
the more remarkable because the state
is situated between the pchlo and the
mound builders areas, two of the most
Interesting regions inhabited by pre
historic man.
Dr. J. W.-.lter Fewkes, chief of the
bureau, with the help of Professor
Fearce of the University of Texas, was
able to locate many prehistoric work
shops and long-forgotten village sites
antedating French. Spanish or Amer
ican settlers. Mjtiy tone implements
occur in these localities, some of which
are made from flint, show remarkable
skill in manufacture.

Kentucky Centenarian Goes With

out of here to Louisville"" asked the (
little woman.
Surprised and astonished, the usher I
at the station looked at the little worn-I

"Is that your son 7"
Then came the story of the aged I
woman, how she was born and reared
in Russell county, Kentucky, had lived
in the hills for many, many years, and
finally a few weeks ago decided to take I
her son and go for a visit to Oklahoma.
It was on the return trip from this

the little old woman stopped in Memphis.
'Yes. it Is true," said the aged mother, I
puffing on her pipe. "That is my I
youngest son. Just 70 yeara old, and I
am now 108 years old."
Soon the news was flashed about the I
station and a crowd gathered about the I
little old woman, who would never have
been taken for a centenarian. They
began to question her, to ask of the
olden days, and to inquire Just how
she lived those years and yet kept so
well.

her daughter in Oklahoma.
"This was a great trip," the little
woman said, "and my son enjoyed it
