Catarrh Victim Could
Only Sleep on Left Side
j After Suffering: for Years With Con
stant Headache and Indigestion
Frank Brown Finds Relief
in Tanlac
| For fifteen years Frr.nk Brown had
! bis ups and downs at the courthouse,
j where he operated the elevator, and
j during that time he contracted ca
tarrh, from which he has suffered for
j years.
He says: "I have been tortured and
j tormented by catarrh for more years
I'han I car. remember. So bad that I
could only sleep on my left side, and
j if I unintentionally turned over I would
; feel suffocated and would wake up in
misery.
"I had headaches almost all the time
and, probably because of my catarrh, I
suffered from indigestion. My stomach
was in very bad shape. I had but
-little appetite and food did not appeal
to me, and when I did eat anything,
no matter how simple, It would bloat
me all up with gas and I would be in
real agony for hours afterward.
"I guess I tried ft hundred different
remedies that I heard were good for
what ailed me, but they none of them
helped me a bit. and I continued to
worry along feeling like the last days
of summer until I heard about Tanlac
and the wonderful results it had given
to some otner catarrh sufferers.
"I began using It and it certainly is
all that is claimed for it for I feel bet
ter to-day than I have felt for many
years. My catarrh has gone entirely
I have no mye headaches and I eat
and sleep as I did when I was a boy
I certainly wilt be glad to recommend
Tanlac to anyone who wants to know
how it has helped me."

I vegetable tonic, appetizer and lnvig
orant, is now being specially Intro
duced here at Gorgas' Drmr Sfore

lac man Is daily explaining this maoter

GOVERNOR URGES
CROP INCREASES
Tells Farmers Food Production
Must Be Given More
Attention
Gettysburg, Pa.; Sept. 27.—0n their
third tour of the agricultural sections
of Pennsylvania, Governor Brumbaugh
and other State officials, with a large
number of others interested In the de
velopment of the rural portions of the
State, yesterday told Adams county
farmers food production must be
given more attention.
One of the large automobile trucks
had been fitted up as a stand and
from this Governor Brumbaugh made
his address. Ha. said:
"Wo are now on the third week
which we have devoted to tours In
the interests of the farms of Pennsyl
vania and the State's highway prob
lems. Unless we can develop our soil
to increase our food production the
time is not very far distant when we
will be dependent upon outside com
munities to feed tjje workers In our
mills, in our factories and at Our
forges, a situation which wc do not
wish for a moment to contemplate.
"Our highway problems are a mat
ter of transportation of people and
materials from one part of our great
Commonwealth to another. I feel
confident that I can look any man In
the face and unblushlngly say that we
now have better roads In Pennsylvania
than we ever had before.
"I see no reason why we cannot con
tinue this work until we have a dust
less and durably surfaced road from
every town in the State, and that with
out an unreasonable burden of taxa
tion.
"If we all work together, feeling
that we have back of us the co-opera
tion of the good people of our State,
we can build up an efficient or right
eous government of which we may all
be proud, we ask the co-operation of
you."
Gets Box of Apples
Governor Brumbaugh was in Cham
bersburg three times yesterday. He
stopped there with his touring party
and made a speech to a crowd on
Memorial Circle. He said Franklin
county apples were the best In the
world and got a box of Rambos as
a present. He and his party visited
the local apple show here. From here
the party went to McConnellsburg and
the Governor then came back about 6
P. M., on his way to York, eating his
supper as he rode by. At-midnlght he
returned westward, bound from York
to Bedford.

HUGHES GREETS
WEST PA. CROWDS
Enters Pittsburgh District and
Begins Tour of Industrial
Towns
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 27.—Charles
E. Hughes entered the Pittsburgh dis
trict soon after noon to-day and from
that moment until the tlmo for his
departure for Trenton, N. J., at mid
night, every hour had been carefully
tilled by the Republican party leaders
who made up the committee of ar
rangements.
Mr. Hughes was met at thq station
by a great crowd of Republicans from
all over -Western Pennsylvania, East
ern Ohio and Northern West Virginia,
and immediately began a tour of in
dustrial towns.
Issues Final Challenge
Mr. Hughes last night challenged
the administration to deny his charge
that John was authorized by
President Wilson in 1914 to say to "the
minister from a foreign power" that
Huerta would be "put out" of the
presidency of Mexico if he did not
voluntarily get out.
Mr. Hughes issued his challenge in
a speech here before an audience in
Cleveland. In the same speech Mr.
Hughes lauded Myron T. Herrick, sit
ting on the platform with him, for
the manner In which he discharged
the duties of ambassador to France in
the early days of the war and declared
that the appointment of a man to suc
ceed Mr. Herrick "in a time of great
emergency" would "ever remain a blot
upon the present administration."
In his second address at Toledo and
in his speech at Cleveland last night
Mr. Hughes, renewed liis attack on the
administration for the Adamson law
and declared that It was the duty of tho
Executive to stand "like a rock" for
the principle of investigation before
legislation and not to surrender to
force.
Mr. Hughes' challenge to the ad
ministration was part of his attack on
the administration for its Mexican
policy. He said:
"We cannot maintain our just in
fluence on this hemisphere in connec
tion with our sister republic unless we
arc correct in our international atti
tude and careful and correct in our In
ternational policy. That is the de-,
plorable thing about the conduct of
our affairs in Mexico. We have fol
lowed no Intelligible possible policy.
Wo have not justified ourselves to
those acquainted with international
law. We have not satisfied our ideals.
We have not won the friendship, but
rather lost the friendship, of those who
are in the sister republic of Mexico
torn by disturbance. Only the other
day we had a very clear statement of
the principle that should govern us In
this matter and In similar matters. It
Is a statement which comes from the
head of the administration and It Is
very clearly put. It says, referring to
Mexico: 'We have professed to believe
that every nation, every people, has
the right to order its own institutions
as it wilt, and we must live up to that
profession in our actions in absolute
good faith." That is the principle. I
deeply regret that that principle was
not followed."
