MR AND MRS W. J. SWAiFCR AND
SON ARE REMARKABLY BUILT
UP BY TANLAC
‘i can almost feci myself gaining
strength every day since I commenced
taking Tanlac," said VV. J. Swaffer
who lives at 416 Sherbreck street.
Winnipeg, while talking to a Tanlac
representative the other day.
“When I returned from France
where I had been serving in the army
for some time.” continued Mr Swaffer,
"my whole system was in a very badly
run down condition. I got back home
last. May and I thought that when i
pot away from the horrors of war
and could rest up awhile I would be
all right, but 1 have been gradually
getting In worse shape ever since T
got home. .My appetite was so poor
thing, and no matter how appetizing
my meals were, just a few bites seemed
to fill me right up. I ifeR so tired an.l
exhausted all the time that I didn’
foel like doing a thing but sit down 1
or lie down, and it was an effort for me i
to get about at all. Then I contracted
rheumatism in my legs, and they ached I
and pained me so bad at times I could j
hardly stand it. When I sat down j
any length of time my legs would get j
so stiff I could hardly get up and walk, j
I did everything I could think of to get j
rid of these troubles, but my condition
‘1 hud road a good deal about the
good Tfinluc was doing so many people,
so I decided to try a few bottles of it
and see if it would not put some energy
in me. and help me to get rid of the
troubles that were making life miser
erable for me. Well, sir, that medi
cine has just put me rigid square on
my feet again, and l am !is well and
Strong now as I ever was in my life.
My appetite lias come hack, and I can
eat anything that is put before me.
In fact. I can hardly get enough to
cat. I have gained ten pounds in
weight so far, and 1 know I am still
gaining. The rheumatism has left too.
and I can get around and do as much
work in a day as I ever could in my
life. My entire system has lx*en great
ly built up, and 1 can honestly say
that I never felt better in my life than
1 do now. My wife, who has suffered
a good deal with stomach trouble is ]
taking Tanlac now, and it is doing j
her a world of good. I also started]
my little boy on it some time ago. as he I
has been very puny and thin, and do '
you know, that boy has gained about1
five pounds already and is as lively as
a cricket all the time. Yes, sir, we are
strong for Tnnlac at our house and
never lose an opportunity to say a
good word for it.

has been convicted in jury trials of the
killing of both Evans an i Margaret
Davor, an Anchorage und >r world hab

hanged by Judgj Chas. E. Bunnell,
before whom the two cases were heard.
The trial of the dual murderer fov
the killing of Evans was concluded at
Valdez December 1 following the sub
missal of conclusive evidence that
Dempsey shot and killed the officer
while the latter was attempting to ar
rest him for the murder of the Davor
woman. Trial of the Evans case was
followed immediately and resulted In
the jury returning a verdict of guilty.
In both cases the jury was out but a
short time. The evidence in the Lavor
case proved that Dempsey, who has
at-times adopted the aliases of Will

the woman for purposes of robbery by
giving her repeated blows on the head
with a stilson wrench. After perpe

played an important part- in the find

had failed to locate it during a super

The dog owned by one of the search

Berlin. March 19—The return of
General von liindenbcrg from Itussia .,
and intercourse between him and Gen

in Berlin which, in tho light of the.
proposal of General von Leuttwit/, fol

over to the radicals, is regarded as
indicating a new revolutionary move

NEWS NOTES
I'n iLiJcleot, March 3, 1920
Misha Ivunoff. superintendent uf
the Shaktolik reindeer herd, reports
a larRf number erf deaths among the.
reindeer of that section in recent clays
as a result of unknown agencies.
Ivanoff. who arrived in l.'nalaklcet to
day, says there are .at least one hun
dred dead reindeer lying on the Shak
tolik flats as a result of the peculiar
|visdtation. The carcasses of the dead
animals show no sign of violence, save
that in nearly every case the car
marked with the brand of ownership
is missing, indicating that human
agencies are in some way connected
with the situation. Ivanoff said as
fttr as iie observed tlie? dead deer were
In good condition and he has no idea
regarding the cause of their death,
aside freon the (possibility of their
having been poisoned. He said th re
is a rumor that the strychnine pros- j
pector* is abroad in the land and it it'
possible that the derr may have eatoi:
ft mo of tin- poison. Very little « i •d
Itegardless of the possible causes,
the fact remains that. owing to so
many deaths, the herd is not increas
ng as it should. Also there is a pros
pect that the same agencies ina\ at
tack adjoining herds and work tre
mendous harm to the industry so care
fully fostered by our Uncle Samuel,
in addition to bringing much suffering
to the uaitives and loss of capital to
white investors.
The destruction of so many deer
should he carefully investigated by
the proper authorities to determine
the cause and find a remedy.
The Kotzebue mail carrier was tak
en seriously ill at the Foothill road
house on his last trip and had to turn
the nuiil over to Henry Ivanoff. who
carried it through for him. Henry
jreports a hard trip—deep snow and
lots of water in the creeks, along with
a great scarcity of dog feed.
Owing to the Kotzebue carrier 0*1
the next trip being late, as a result of
the had trail conditions. Ivunoff was
forced to wait at Diene, thus causing
the mail to arrive here somewhat late.
The mail was also late leaving here
because of Home difficulty in getting a
carrier for the contract price. The
obstacle was finally overcome by our
diplomatic postmaster and the con
signment left this morning under the
guidance of Ivanoff.
Major Hunter, the annv surgeon
Stationed at St Michael, arrived here
a day or two ago to attend Marion
Bradley, who was suffering severely
from stomach trouble. The patient
is now doing nicely under his excel
lent care. The Major had a sloppy
trip and also became the victim of an
accident which might have resulted
seriously. While negotiating some
floating ice in attempting to cross
tide crack opposite the coal mine
Major Hunter alipped ond fell into
the Icy water. The water was so deep
he was compelled to swim to avoid
drowning. His native driver hurried
to the rescue but also slipped an.I
found himself in the same predicament
as the Major. After floundering
around for some time they succeeded
in getting on the slippery ice and.
after slipping back again several times
managed to get adhbre. Luckily the
■weather was warm, the coal mine
cabin close by and the contents of the
sled dry. no they soon had a fire, n
change of dry clothes and were on
their way, nothing the worse for their
adventure •
The last mail coming through from
the Nome section had to plough thru
water in craMdng nearly all the creek*
encountered eroute. Judging from the
dampness of the writers' mall, the rest
of the consignment must have ob
sorbed some water. If there were any
furs in the consignment. the shippers
are out of lurk unl>-ss they wore
heavily insured.
