TANLAC PUT HIM BACK ON THE JOB, HE STATES H. F. Minahan, Forced to Lay Off by Failing Health, Tells How Master Medicine Bene fited Him and Sent Him Back to Work. "Tanlac put me back in a position to earn money and brought back my old appetite," says H. F. Monahan, of 2144 Greenwood street. •'Kidney trouble and a lame back had made me lay off, but your modi cine put me back on the job again, and I certainly think it is the goods. "I used to work for an express com pany, but hustling heavy weights strained my back severely, and I had to transfer to a wagon job. I was out In all weathers, and getting wet gave me a cold that settled in my kidneys and I had to lay off. "I tried to pret fixed up so I could go back to work, but there was nothing doing until I started in on Tanlac, and that sure did turn the trick. "It Just seemed to know what my trouble was and it went right to it. Took only two or three davs to make me feel like my old self, and now I'm back at my old job. one I had before I went with the express company, and making good money again. "I know I wouldn't be working to day if I hadn't taken Tanlac, and I'll speak a good word for it whenever I get a chance." Tanlac, the famous master medicine so highly praised by grateful thou sands. Is now being specially intro duced here at Gorgas' Drug Store. 16 North Third street and P. R. R. sta tion, where the Tanlac man 'ls kept busy demonstrating this peerless preparation to interested crowds. Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water, each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre vious day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food Into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach Is wonderfully Invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, Kases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast, and it Is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the checks. A quarter-pound of limestone phos phate wiil cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who Is bothered with biliousness, con stipation. stomach trouble or rheuma tism n real enthusiast on the subject of Internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better In every way shortly. MONDAY EVENING.

POLICE SEEK MAN WHO THREW STONE Assailant Fractured Skull of Motorman on Trolley Which Killed George Fox County authorities and private de tectives of the Harrisburg Railways Company are making a thorough search in an effort to locate the person who threw the large stone at Motor man Martin A. Brandt, 1310 Berry hill street, who was running the car which killed George W. Fox, aged 43, of Paxtang, near Rutherford on Satur day night. Brandt is in the Harjysburg hos pital in a serious condition suffering from a fractured skull and concus sion of the brain. The attack was made on his return trip from Hum melstown after he had struck Fox, who died from a fractured skull and shock. His legs were also crushed. Coroner Eckjnger spent the day working on the case but at a late hour this afternoon had not set a time for the inquest. It will probably be post poned pending the result of the in juries to Brandt. The stone which struck him was hurled through the vestibule window. He continued run ning his car, but passengers saw that his condition was serious and called the conductor to bring the car to this city. Fox is survived by a mother and two sisters. His funeral will be held on Wednesday. Brandt, when he regained conscious ness, could not give the authorities a description of the man who threw the stone through the car window. ROBBERS ENTER HOMES IN CITY [Continued From First Page] bery, declared that he believes inade quate police protection was responsible for the boldness of the burglars, who entered the room In which Mrs. Trego was sleeping. Last week an attempt was made, according to Mr. Trego, to enter the first floor of his home, the night after four other houses in the vicinity were entered. Rob Five Houses at Paxtang Early vesterdav morning five houses In Paxtang were entered, food and money stolen, and attempts made to rob six other residences. That a gang of burglars is making a systematic visit of residences in the city and near by is the belief of people in that town, who are planning to organize a vigilance committee. So far more than fifty robberies and numerous attempts have been reported. The places entered last night In Paxtang, with the loot which was taken, follow: Dr. J. J. Mullowney, small sum of money and. provisions; John H. Attlcks, provisions; Thomas Lyter, revolver and flashlight: William H. Cordry, money and produce; Harry Crouse. $4. Entrance was gained through win dows on the first floor and after steal ing the supplies the thieves took two baskets at the residence of Dr. Mul lowney and carried the provisions to the store of T. H. Loser. Here they took large delivery baskets from one of his wagons and carried the food away. Attempts were made, apparently with a small screwdriver, to pry open the windows at the following homes: H. F. Evster, Edward Davis, H. G. Blnk, Arthur Rutherford, Howard Rutherford and John Mosey.

NAMES POURING IN FOR PROPOSED HOTEL [Continued I lmu First Page] other suggestions. Up to the present time the name which seems to have most general approval, having been ®ent in by at least three persons, is "The Penn-Harris." This name is urged because it represents the State, the city and the great William Penn highway. The fact that this splendid hotel is to be managed without a bar has at tracted much attention. At the morn tog service in the Market Square Presbyterian Church yesterday the Rev. Dr. Hawes somplimented the men who have macfe possible the new hotel and congratulated the city upon the prospect of a great place of enter tainment without the stigma of liquor upon it. Among those who have suggested a name for the hotel ara the follow ing: H. L. Stroh, Washington, D. C.: — "I Have been reading in the Telegraph with much Interest the push of the solid men of my native city of Har risburg in the building of an up-to the-minute hotel. "Those of my acquaintances of this city, who have visited Harrisburg, say they cannot understand why an aggressive city such as Pennsylvania State Capitol should be lacking In modern hotel accommodation; as they with one accord speak of Harrisburg and Its environments as a garden spot. "Am very glad results are showing and would suggest a snappy name for the hotel as the 'Penn-Harris.' " X. G. W. writes;—"ln naming the new hotel, it seems to me one thing should be kept in mind. When we speak of the Bellevue-Stratford, the Brunswick, Casey, Sterling, Ft. Pitt, William Penn, etc., we do not have to name the town we mean. "It is, perhaps, unfortunate, that Pittsburgh already has a William Penn hotel, since the Harrisburg hotel will stand on the highway 01 that name. Possibly we could find no better name, than that of the city itself. Let us hope, however, that Dr. Hamilton or someone else will be In spired with a name ts appropriate and interest-creating as that which he gave the water carnival, "It Is a matter in which every citi zen should take an interest and in which the hotel company should be deliberate. Given a distinctive name, the hotel will be one of the best ad vertisements the capital could have." E. L. McColgin, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, writes as fol lows: "Permit me to suggest the 'Fort Washington' as a name for the new hotel. This name has appealed to me as being suitable for a variety of rea sons. It is dignified and has not been worn threadbare by being used as a name for inns, taverns and hotels throughout Pennsylvania, as is the case with some names. "The flame Fort Washington w:Il always be Identified with the history and patriotic interests of Harrisburg, because the fort marked the high tide of the war of the rebellion in Penn sylvania, and the whole nation for that matter. "A number of Pennsylvania hotels bear 'fort' names; Wilkes-Barre has the Fort Durkee and the new hotel in Johnstown is named the Fort Stan wlx." A. B. Millar, secretary of the Pub lic Utilities Commission suggests the "Hotel Necessity" as deacriblng the present conditions. One who Is Interested in the mat ter, but who does not give his name says: "I think your new hotel should be named 'Hotel Federal'." STATE AUTHORITIES AGAINST WALNUT STREET BRIDGE City Solicitor Seita as a matter of course will submit to the Public Serv ice Commission without unnecessary delay the plans and all details of the proposed Walnut street bridge over the Pennsylvania railroad. At the same time It is expected the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will file a vigorous protest. It is also prob able thrat the City Planning Commis sion, already on record as unanimously opposed to the bridge at the Walnut street location, will submit Its protest. Governor Brumbaugh and other State oinclAls are strenuously opposed to the proposed structure In view of the plans which are already outlined for the Improvement of the Capitol Park extension and favor either an overhead ornamental bridge or sub way at State street.

' British War Car Immune From Machine Can Fire Demoralizes Germans At the British Front on the Somme, Sept. 17 (via London, Sept. 18). German prisoners freely admit the demoralization of their infantry by the new British armored motorcars, the so-called "tanks." "There was no standing against that sort of thing," said one German of ficer. "Of cburso we surrendered, those of us who were alive. Wo tired at a tank with our rifles and turned our machine guns loose on It. But the bullets only made blue sparks on the armor. We had thought the British slow and stupid, in spite of their cour age and stubbornness, and yet they gave us a surprise like this." A column of German prisoners parsing one of the tanks, dubbed the i.reme de Menthe" by its "crew, standing quietly beside the road after the battle spread out their hands and shook their heads at the sight of It. "Gott in Htmmel," ran the course of their exclamations. "It Is under control! It won't break out and be gin firing again!

In addition, quantities of war material and a large number of pris oners fell into the hands of the entente ?i Ue^T"' 00 L prisoners being taken by the French alone. Heavy counter at tacks against the British yesterday re pulsed with large losses to the Ger mans. Near Thiepval the British took a for tified position over a front of a mile, known as "The Danube Trench;" near Courcelette an advance of about 1 OOu yards was made, and finally the strong ly defended position at the Mouquei farm, over which there had been numerous hard-fought battles for sev eral weeks, fell into their hands. To the south of the river the French pushed back the Germans and occupied the remainder of the towns of Verman* dovillers and Berny still in their hands and also captured all the ground be tween Verman dovillers and Deniecourt and between Deniecourt and Berny, the gain being ouer a front running north east two miles and thence east another mile. The advance of the British apparent ly- straightens out the salient that had projected into their lines between Thiepval and Courcelette and brings their front here to within a scant mile of Orandcourt and the Albert-Bauaume Railway. Grandcourt now is being bambarded by the British. Th* success of the French seemingly obliterates another of the many saw-tooth salients which mark the entire front of the Somme, and Is another move of the right flank of the Entente toward the pocketing of Peronne. Von Mackensen Forced Russians and Rumanians in Loop of Great U Amsterdam, via London, Sept. 18.— Details of Field Marshal Von Macken sen's victory over the Russians and Rumanians in the Dobrudja district are given in a copy of the Berjin "Vossische Zeitung" received here. The paper says: "A German division moving along the Danube east of Silistria drove back a Rumanian division upon the Rus sians, who formed the right and center of the line. The Germans then got. on the flank of the Russians and at the same time German and Bul garian cavalry, operating on the Ger man right, drove a Serbian division back along the railroad. Thus Field Marshal Mackensen's troops formed the letter U with the Russians, Ser bians and Rumanians crowded within the loop. "The Russians held their front for some time until Mackensen concen trated his forces on thm and their, resistance collapsed." The "Rester Lloyd" says: "The battle of Dobrich, which cleared Mackensen's right flank, last ed three days and nights. The' R umanian forces cama up only on the 'third day. The brunt of the fighting was maintained by the Russians and the Serbians."

The first boatload of Greek soldiers from Kavala arrived here to day. The men marched through the streets cheering King Constantino and crying: "Down with tho Buigars!"

Clabaugh, head of the Chicago bureau of the Federal Department of Justice. Both are at liberty. They will become witnesses for the government, however, when the eight members of the alleged syn dicate. arrested in the raid on a fash ionable apartment hotel Saturday night, are brought to trial, Mr. Cla baugh said. Operations of the syndicate which now appears to have been of inter national proportions, were not on?y confined to the blackmail of wealthy men and women, according to infor mation developed to-day. Among the effects in the office of "Doc" Edward Donahue, one of the men caught in the Saturday night raid, was stationery of the "United Turf Exchange," with "headquarters in New York and offices all over the world." There were also cipher codes for deciphering messages received by wire, telling what horses to bet on, how much to bet, what races and positions to play. Fake newspaper clippings detailing the wonderful clean-ups made by a young eastern plunger in pool rooms, apparently had been used to lure vic tims. One letter found in Donahue's room, at the fashionable South Side apartment house, was from the "horse man's association" of Louisville, Ky., signed by J. C. Saulsberry, secretary, and addressed to A. T. Karger. The secretary said he was sorry to hear of "Mr. Karger's notoriety lately and hoped he wouldn't have another oc currence like that again." > According to Department of Justice officials here to-day, the "United Turf Exchange" must have been an ex clusive affair. The rules stated that members using the club rooms in the evening must appear in full dress. According to the Federal officials to-day here are some of the things done by the syndicate: They fleeced a multimillionaire of New York out of $40,000 by threaten ing him with arrest for alleged viola tion of the Mann act, two of the mem bers of the syndicate Imperuonating secret service agents for that purpose. They frightened a wealthy Phila delphia woman who had been too friendly with a stranger in a cafe into giving them $35,000. They took $lO, 000 from each of five Chicagoans, two of whom are women. They brought about their own arrest by allegedly taking $3,500 from Mrs. Regina Clip per of Philadelphia, and afterward kidnaping her. It was said to-day that the organiza tion had worked as a whole since the first of the year, and It is believed to have cleaned up in that time $1,000,- 000. The government officials say that for one known victim of the syndicate there are probably twenty unknown. Those under arrest gave the names of Henry Russell, Edward Donahue, Helen Evers, Mrs. Frances Allen, Mrs. Edward Donahue, James Christian, Frank Crocker and George Bland. George Irwin, alleged director of the group, is still at large. The chief charge against the band is the alleged kidnaping of Mrs. Regina H. Clifford, of Philadelphia, one of their alleged victims, who is wanted as a Government witness. She was spirited away to Canada, it is charged, at the time she wanted to testify against the gang. "The chief offenses charged against the band occurred in Philadelphia, and for that reason they will be taken there for trial," said Clabaugh. "They will be arraigned for prelim inary hearing here Tuesday and will be started for Philadelphia immedi ately afterward." Clabaugh said there were fifteen known victims of the gang and that the amount obtained from these vic tims will reach probably $250,000. From one person $40,000 was obtain ed and $35,000 from another, Cla baugh said. The authorities refused to reveal the names of the victims. Some, it was said, are men prominent in poli tical life, who were victimized while at the Republican convention here in June. During the raid, which had been planned for many weeks, an elab orate opium outfit was found in one of the apartments. IfJM WM !■ V ■lk 11 I Preparedness from a military | .
