IT SAVED HER LIFE
"I Can Hardly find Words to
Express My Gratitude for
Tanlac" She Says
'I have not only gotten back all the
weight I lost while Bick, but I am
actually heavier now than I have ever
been," said Mrs. Lucy Bradley, resid
ing at 7329 Eli Avenue, Seattle, Wash.,
recently, in one of the most remark
able statements yet published in con
nection with the Master Medicino in
this vicinity.
"I had suffered from stomach
trouble,'' continued Mrs. Bradley, "un
til I was scarcely more than a frame of
skin and bones. . One day about three
years ago, after eating some straw
berries, I was taken with an attack of
acute indigestion, and was down in bed
for some time unable to move. , Be
ginning from that time my stomach
was in such a bad fix that everything
I ate would ferment, causing gas,
shortness of breath and fearful pain.
There was a pain right through my
heart that couldn't have hurt much
worse if I had been stuck a knife, and
several times I thought I would surely
die. I just kept losing weight and
got so weak I couldn't walk across
the room. I was forbidden to eat any
thing except liquid. I tried drinking
sweet milk and even that was liko
poison to me. I suffered a great deal
with pains in my back and hardly
knew what sleep was.
We were living in St. Louis at this
time, and a friend of ours had gotten
such splendid results from Tanlac that
my husband begged mo to take it. I
refused for a time, as I had no faith
in it to help me, but I kept getting
worse and my husband insisted. So I
consented to try it and when he
brought mo my first bottle I weighed
only one hundred and ten pounds and
was almost frantic with suffering.
Now I can hardly find words to ex
press, for I really don't believe I
would bo hero today if it hadn't been
for Tanlac. Soon after I started tak
ing it I began to feel better. It was
tho very thing for me and it wasn't
long nntil I could eat just any and
everything I wanted without it hurt
ing me. and my appetite was so big I
could hardly eat enough. JWcll, that
has been a good while ago and from
that time until now I have never suf
fered a particle with my stomach,
shortness of breath or pain of any kind.
I sleep like a child every night and am
strong and healthy in every way." I
now weigh one hundred and fifty six
pounds making a gain of forty-six
pounds I tell everybody that I know
that Tanlae is tho finest medicine in
the world and I certainly have the
best of reasons for saying so. j

IITAILAN VICTORY MEANS
LOWER AUSTRIAN MORALE
German Political Leaders Are
Again Talking Peace As
Consequence
New Tork, July 3. Jtaly's cL-feat of
Austria means more than merely rais
ing the morale of the allies and lowering
that of the enemy. By driving the Aus
trians back across the Piave, the chance
of Austro-German domination of the
plains of northern Italy almost disap
pears. This section of the eountry is the
great industrial portion of Italy. Two
thirds of that country 'g horse-power
and industrial population are in this re
gion, the domination of which by the
.enemy would greatly imperil the future
of Italy, both during and after the war.
Had the enemy forces been successful,
Italy would have been more dependant
upon the allies for food and shipping
than ever: thus aggregating the scarcity
against which France and Britain are
now contending. Italy has not only re
trieved the disaster of last October,
which hastened unity of the allies, but
the blow thus administered may mater
ially aid in forcing Austria out of the
war. German political leaders are again
talking peace by indirect means, and the
evidences niultiply that both Germany
and Austria are groaning bitterly undor
burdens of war. Peace, however, is
not in sight, for the simple reason that
Germany is riot by any means ready to
submit to such terms as the allies aro
determined upon enforcing. The certain
ty that Germany must submit, willingly
or unwillingly, to just penalties for
the fearful crimes she has perpetrated
is made doubly sure by the irresistible
military forces which this country is
now sending across to Prance. Reform
'the winter begins there will be an Am
erican army of two millions over there
the fighting qualities of which have a!
ready been proved. German scorn at
American efforts Will soon turn into
fear as the millions of spirited and
trained fighting men reach, their des
tination. The tide has already turned
and is rising more strongly in favor of
the allies each day. Anothor German
drive is expected soon at the western
front, but the allies express full con
fidence in thoir ability to meet it. ooino
ground may be lost, but this is not ma-'
tonal, the significant thing being that
oach drive shows increasing German ex
haustion; whilo the American army will
soon be at the front in sufficient force
to haston and insure victory.
The situation of publie service secur
ities is at lust receiving serious atten
tion. Some form of relief must be found
for gas, electrio and Btruet railway con
cerns, which are not allowed to meet
increased cost of operation by higher
charges tor service. Three alternatives
are open as a solution, viz.: higher rates
government support, ot bankruptcy. The
first is the .easiest and sanest solution;
the second is a doubtful expedient that
would probauly. result in increased tax
ation; while the last is really unthink
able and not what the public .either ex
pects or desires. The federal government
has shown an indisposition to give fin
ancial aid to street railway companies,
which is not surprising; sinus such ac
tion opens the door to demands which it
could not well pretend to meet. Public
orvice corporations should obtain their
financial aid as far as possible from cus
tomary banking circles; and, if this u
impracticable, th.e local municipal bod
ies responsible for driving these eon
corns to thodge of bankruptcy, should
be obliged to furnish the necessary re
lief. Not a few public utilities are sell
ing at exceedingly low prices compared
with past riecordB, a condition which is
of couiso explained by the practically
exhausted margins after dividends,
There is still a remarkable tone of
confidence displayed in the persistent
resistance of security values against ad
verse news. This eonfidence is primar
ily based upon an improving military
situation, as well as unshaken belief in
ultimate victory on behalf of civili2a
tion and democracy. The fact that the
war may continue much longer than ex
pected now cuts no figure whatevjr in
public belief. The excellent crop out
look is another factor of much encoui
agemcnt; a large yield of cereals being
very probable, and indeed a bumper
crop in some cases. Cotton, too, prom
ises magnificently, condition being
much higher than a year ago, and acre
age about 4 per cent larger. Pruit is
doing well and large crops are general
throughout the country, peaches being
the only exception. High prices are ob
tained for all agricultural products; so
that the lightly taxed American farmer
is enjoying extraordinary prosperity
with a ready market for all ho can pro
duce. Large crops at "high prices will
naturally require a larger volumo of
money than usual for their handling; 8
factor of some consequence in View of
present financial conditions. As bearing
upon the agricultural situation, the last
monthly statement of exports is of in
terest. Our shipments of breadstuffs in
May were valued at 60,000,000, compar
ed with $04,000,000 a year ago. The ex

ports of wheat alone fell $30,000,000
though flour increased $16,00,000 and
rye and barley $8,000,000. In the same
month meat products were exported to
the value of $111,000,000, an increase of
$65,000,000, while mineral exports rose
to $32,000,000, a gain of $10,000,000.
General business continues large in
volume, though some lines are depress
ed by war, especially the building
trades; while others are stimulated, no
tably tho steel industry. The latter set
tled down to the new fixed price regime,
which assures another three months
of profit and activity. Tlis steel indus
try must be recognized as the backbone
of the war. It is not only providing all
the guns, munitions, ships, railroads, etc
essential to winning the war; but the
handsome profits obtained from steel
production are proving one of the most
prolific and substantial sources of rev
enue through the medium of excess pro
fits taxes. The strongest nations are ul
timately those with tho largest resources
in coal and iron amply utilized; and in
these respects the United States has an
enormous lead of the entire world. Con.
gress is occupied in drafting a new rev-
cnue bill. To tax justly, and draw the
largest amount of revenue possible,
without drying up the sources of rev
enue or impairing the country's indiis
tries, is a problem requiring all the fore
sight and skill available. As-a result of
taxation and price fixing, a number of
dividends (out of which new capital is
largely derived) have been reduced; and
In the July list of payments aggregat
ing $119,000,000 a year ago, the total
this year will be only $100,000,000, the
decrease being entirely in industrial is
sues. Large payments, however, will be
mado on account ot government dig
bursements. Fluctuations on the Btock
.exchange were confined within relative
ly narrow limits, the greatest activity
being in a few industrial specialties.
Monetary conditions inevitably impose
some restrictions on speculative activ
ity, but in spite of this factor and tlw
uncertainties of war the outlook is gen
erally favorable to tho maintenance of
values. In cases where prices hav9 risen
to any extent, profit taking is of course
to bo anticipated, though the undertone
of confidence has good foundations and
remains unshaken.

London, July 3. The Italians have
undertaken a new offensive effort, on
the lower Piave, it was learned from
an authoritative fWurco today.
Between tho old and the new Piave,
they advanced from 2,000 to 2,500
yards on an eigh mile front, it was
stated.
The Piave formerly turned southward
at San Dona Di Piavo and followed a
meandering course to the sea, empty
ing into the Adriatic at Porto Di
Piave Vecchia, nine miles directly
south of San Dona Di Piuve. This
course now forms part of tho Sile river.
The present Piavo channel now runs
southeastward from San Dona i Piave,
emptying into the sea at Torto Cortel
lazzo eight miles northeast of Porto
Di Piavo Vecchia. Before the recent
Austrian offensive tho battlo lino ran
directly southward from San Dona Di
Piave to Porto Di Piave Vecchai,
through a difficult marsh land.
