Brown,wall paper and paint dealer, of 218 N. Cedar St, Charlotte, N. C. My stomach was always, out of fix and everything disagreed , with me.

My appetite is a wonder and I eat just anything I want In fact my stomach acts and feels just like a new one and my nerves are as steady as a die. To put it all in a few words, I am just the same as a new man. Its a pleasure for me to tell my friends about Tanlac." Tanlac Is sold by all good druggists.

Anyway, the Republican majority yelled after the Democrats had prevented the transaction of any business for the fourth consecutive legislative day. The obstructionist tactics of the Democrats, moreover, were threatening more than a thousand presidential nominations, which, if unconfirmed when the special session ended would have had to be again submitted. The Republican caucus was preceded by a conference attended by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republi Old-time- anti-lynchi- I1E Twentieth century lumber-jack Is pretty much the same kind of man that he was thirty or forty years ago, when logging was at Us zenith. He Is the same stalwart, powerful, masterful man of the woods. There is this difference, however: he lives and works under infinitely better con' ditions than the Thirty years ago the logging camps were built of logs; the buildings were not much better than barns. Today there are some log camps built, but most of them are frame buildings sealed with tar paper. They are comfortable In summer and winter. In the model camps of Michigan, for Instance, the buildings are lighted with electric light, there are bath rooms, and every man has a comfortable bed instead of bunks filled with pine boughs or hay. Tears ago the lumbermen applied efficiency methods to the science of lumbering, and they saw their best men would not slow up if they g:t the best possible rest at night. The men are also furnished with books and current magazines; their meals are prepared by cooks who know their business, of a sufficient variety to tempt even the discriminating nppe-tit- e of the city dweller. The jacks of Michigan are picked men. They form a most efficient body of workers, for no man gets a chance unless he has proven in the hardest possible school his ability to get 60 ' minutes of unremitting toil into an hour, to stand great extremes of temperature, and to master the science of falling" trees so they will not damage other trees, block roads, crush bark, or shoot down mountain sides. He must have good health, be able to live at peace with forty or more other huskies, and be able and willing to find his place in the woods on dark winter mornings when the thermometer is down to 30 degrees below zero. The man who bears the proud name of hick looks with scorn upon the clumsy, foreign laborers who follow him in the woods and cut out the small paper wood left after he has disposed of the hemlock, birch, maple, beech and poplar trees.

President Harding wants the troops brought home, and despite the fact that Germany and the allied governments wish them to remain they will be brought home as soon as the withdrawal can be accomplished without embarrassment. Of course theres a reason for the expressed wish of French and Germans that the Americans remain.

Senator Lodge made the following statement on the Republican decision: The situation before us was this: Under the rules of the senate, the Democrats who were filibustering could have kept up the filibuster indefinitely and there Is no doubt that they would have done so. An attempt to change the rules would only have shifted the filibuster to another subject.
