Grimes, a well known arpenter, of '164 Kot street. Seattle. Washington. "For ten long years I suffered tor tures from, indigestion and rheuma tism," he continued, "and during the past two years I became very much worse. Last summer I was in such bad shape that I was barely able to net around and just one month ago I felt so miserable that I was afraid I'd have to go te bed and stay there. My stomachi was in such an awful fix that I eould hardly take any nourish ment at all. What little I "did force down soured on my stomach and swell ed me up so I could' hardly breathe and I was so weak that I could hardly walk a block without giving out- Jly head ached like it would split, my kid neys gave me no end of trouble and i had such an awful pain in my back at times that I felt like I couldn't stand it. Every muscle in my body ached with rheumatism and my joints would get so stiff that I couldn't straighten up. My right leg was lame from the knee down and I could scarcely use my right hand at all. My face was so drawn and sunken in that anybody could see that I was a mighty sick man. "I reckon I took about every med icine there is in the market trying toj et well, but I grew worse instead of better. I hoped against hope though, and when I heard so much about Tan lac. I decided to try it next. As soon I started on my first battle I felt like it was beginning tp straighten me out and gooni I realized that at last I had found what I needed. Well, sir, my appetite has picked up so wonder fully that I am always the first at tho tablo and the last to leave. My stpm- ach is in fine condition, and I can eat anything I want without having a bit of trouble afterwards. My kidneys are working all right too and that awtul pain in my ibaik is clean gone. 1 haven't a twinge of rheumatism about me and I am taking on weight so fast that my face has filled out and I look like a different person. Tanlao has helped me so wonderfully that it is hard for me to tell how grateful I am for all it has done for me."

Dresses in many ing $8,000,000,000 revenue to help pay war expenses for 1918 were hitting stormy weather on the congressional sea today. Members of the house ways and means onmiittee freely admitted that after a week of intensive work the $8, 000,000,000 goal is not in. sight, al though they declared the bill would never leave committee until they could assure the country that it would raise that sum. Advices from the treasury depart ment were that Secretary McAdoo will also insist on the $8,000,000,000 figure so as not to break up the proportion of sixty per cent of the war expenses by bonds and 40 per cent by txes, which ilcAdoo has deitormined upon. The treasury department suggestion submitted to the committee several weeks ajo asked that six of the eight billion be raised from taxes on in comes, excess profits and inheritances, and the remainder from luxuries and miscellaneous taxes. Tentative schedules of income profit and inheritance rates adopted by th committee to date will raise only $4, 500,000,000 under even the most rosy estimates. These tentative schedules included: Raising ithe normal rates on individ ual incomes from four to ten per cent Taxing CHtates from 3 to 40 per cent, representing approximately a 50 per t'ent increase over present, rates. Taxing net income of corporations be tween 10 and 20 per cent on the invest ment, at a 30 per cent rate; between 20 and 25 per cent at a fifty per cent rate and abovo 75 per cent at an eighty ppr cent rate. Committee -memberg today predicted these rates would be revised upward before the bill is finished.
