SAYS H. M. WALTERS
Indigestion and a Torpid Liver Made

Miserable All Over
£ TAX I.AC BHACKD HIM CP
Folks who know H. M. "Walters, who
lias a profitable truck farm near Me
chanicsburg, Pa., are congratulating
him on his improved appearance, all
of which, he says, is due to the bene
licial effects of Tanlac. the master
medicine.
Speaking of his almost miraculous
recovery, Mr. Walters says, "I was
headachy, nervous and all run down
from the effects of a torpid liver and
nervous indigestion, and catarrh of the
stomach.
"I was utterly miserable all the
time. I couldn't eat a thing without
suffering intensely afterwards for my
stomach did not digest my food, but it
would Just He there in a heavy lump
and throw off gas that would fill me
np so that it used to press against my
heart making it jump and pound until
X felt as if I could suffocate.
"My nerves were on the ragged
edge. I was irritable, restless and
couldn't sleep at night except in
snatches and I would get up in the
mornings I'eeltng tired, with pains in
my back and sort of stiff all over.
"But I date my return to health
from the day that I read a piece in the
paper about Tanlas helping a man
who suffered as I did. I bought a bot
tle of this wonderful medicine and it
helped me from the very first dose.
"Now it has rid me of my headaches,
my appetite is good and my food di
gests as it should and I sleep tine all
night long, waking up fresh and rest
ed every morning. My nerves are in
fine shape, too, in fact, Tanlac has
built me up all over.
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic and invigorant is now being spe
cially introduced here at Gorgas' drug
store where the Tanlac man is meet
ing the people and explaining the
merits of this master medicine.

TUESDAY EVENING,
some praise of President Wilson by
Lee.
"Our principal object now is to help
the President and the men in both
branches of Congress to make good
their promises to us. I believe they
will do it."
Played Unfairly
Xjce paid his respects to the "Wall
street crowd" and declared that now
that an election had been won with
out the assistance of New York, In
diana or Illinois, labor should not fail
to retain its power thus gained.
Lee also reviewed the conferences
which led to the enactment of the
| Adamson eight-hour day law last Sep- '
jtember and charged the railroad heads'
I with playing unfairly with the Prcsi- |
dent at that time. The brotherhoods,!
live declared, had no desire that the
Adamson bill be enacted into law, but
[ inasmuch as it had become a law, they !
i were trying to live up to it.
Immediately after the close of Gom
| pers' speech, the brotherhood heads I
j left the hall.
President Gompers, In the course of
his remarks, said "we expect that the
railroad brotherhoods will on January
1 next, inaugurate the eight-hour
workday and I think I can truly say
to you that whatever arises, whatever
betides, you have the undivided sup
port of the organized workingmen and
women as represented by the Ameri
can Federation of Labor.
_ "When the money power of the
United States failed in the attempt to
corrupt the electorate and when their
plans were upset by the votes of the
citzenship of the United States, the
capitalists showed their colors. They
met and gave out a declaration that
they were going to antagonize every
effort put forth by organized labor.
"But men of wealth I say to you be
careful how far you go. There is a
limit even to human endurance. You I
throw down the gauntlet and we ac- I
cept the challenge. When the time i
comes it will be another case of 'lay I
on Mac Duff, and damned by he who
first cries enough.' "
SOME THINGS THE SOLDIERS
IN EUROPE WOULD LIKE
Tile Women's Home Companion for
December prints an editorial in which
the writer says about a woman whom |
she asked what the soldiers would
need:
"She said, to begin with, that we
couldn't go far wrong if we sent a
man a pair of suspenders. Their sus
penders are always wearing out!
"Shoestrings would be tremendously
appreciated; if a soldier's shoestring
breaks, and his shoe slips off just as
he is running across a field in a
shower of bullets, it may mean death.
"A candle; if a man can scoop a tiny
hole in the side of the trench, put his
candle into it, light lip, end play a
game of cards with a pal, or even look
at another human face, life is a little
gayer.
"Safety pins! 'Do send safety pins"
said Mrs. Duryea. 'When a boy has
no mother at hand to sew on a button,
think of the comfort of a safety pin!' '
"Each packet must have a pencil,
and some paper and envelopes, so that
a. man can write a letter home. A
shirt; a pipe; a piece of twine; a bo\ |
of buttons; a cake of soap."
BROUGHT IT ON HIMSELF
"What if- the difference"— began
the Cheerful (Jdiot.
Everybody but the grim-looking
man arose, afid left.
"What is the difference." he went
on undeterredly, "between somebody
placing wearing apparel in a Saratoga
and a bloodhound with a bad cold?"
I The grim-looking man said nothing,
but drew a pistol stealthily from 'his
I pocket.

I a punk tracker."

NO NEED TO
FEAR BALDNESS
I Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and
Thin Spots
| Thousands of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This is indeed
a pity, says a hair specialist, who
states that baldness usually comes
from carelessness, and that anyone
who gives the hair just a little atten
tion should always have an abund
t ance' of good, healthy hair. Dan
druff and dirt cause baldness by clog-
I ging the pores In the scalp, and giv
ing the dandruff germs fertile ground
| for prolific breeding,
j The treatment is very simple; re
| move the dirt by shampooing at least
I once in ten days and destroy the
I dandruff germs by frequently applying
a little of the real Parisian Sage a
most efficient preparation that the
best druggists everywhere are now
recommending as one of the quickest
and safest treatments to surely stop
i itching scalp and falling hair, remove
| all dandruff and to properly nourish
[and invigorate the hair roots.
Parisian Sage is also the discrim
inating woman's favorite hair dress
ing because it gives her hair a soft
ness and luster that fascinate and
compel admiration. A generous bot
tle costs but little from H. C. Ken
nedy, who guarantees it to you.

for her working people than any other
State anil we hope to do still more.
"It is the business of the Common
wealth to make laws which will enable
its people when not at work to lead
clean, righteous lives. It has been
found that most of the crimes against
I society have been committed in hours
of leisure. Already there are signs of
the movement to conserve the welfare
of the people at leisure in recreation
places and bettor houses in the cities
and the taking away from the people
of the dangers which surround them
when they are not at work. Public
sentiment is tending in that direction
and the laws will follow."
The Governor's address, which fol
lowed the opening of the conference j
by Commissioner John Price Jackson,
of the Department of Labor and In
dustry, was followed with the most in
tense interest on the part of an audi
ence which filled the hall of the House.
The Governor spoke with an air of
earnestness and Ills introduction of the
new proposition of taking care of the
people in their hours of leisure im
pressed his hearers immensely.
The morning session was devoted to j
the State compensation law, with a |
general statement of results by Chair
man Harry A. Macke.v, of the State
Compensation Board, followed by dis- I
cusslon.s of the subject from the stand- j
point of employers, employes, medical |
men. State officials and others.
"After carefully considering all that j
has been done since this law went into i
operation." said Mr. Macke.v, "we can
claim that, ten months' experience lin
ger this law liao thoroughly justified
its existence. We muintain that its
accomplishments have spelled success
for the scheme of compensation. We
confidently iissert that the whole
proposition of humanitarian legislation
lias been mightily advanced because
of the fact that Pennsylvania's brain
and conscience have been added to
the forces behind this great move
ment.
"The employers of Pennsylvania
have accepted the act by quietly com
ing under its terms," Mr. Maekey said,

Over Winter
Plans for winter work were outlined
at a meeting: of the Associated Chari
ties held in the Steelton Trust build
ing last night. Winter is always the
busy time of the year for this organ
isation and many plans were discussed
|f' t0 cnre of the needy. Indications
of higher cost of living during the win
ter months were brought out by sev
eral members and plans were made to
be prepared for these conditions.
A report was made last night that
funds of the treasury were getting low
and any assistance from the town's
business men and individuals would be
greatly appreciated in order to have
as much available money at hand for
winter as possible. Clothes, mostly

Showing how well satisfied some of
jthe great corporations of the state are
with the compensation law, Mr.
I Mackey read a letter dated October 12
j from the claim agent of one of the
j big railroads, saying that his company
is pleased with the manner in which
jit is working out and that "it is much
cheaper and more economical than
claims were under the common law
' liability which existed before the adop
tion of this law." The company, this
j agent said, had found that the op
i eratlon of the law afforded a conipara
i tively c heap means of adjusting dam
age claims and a more liberal and cer
tain means of compensation for the
employe through the elimination of
court costs and delay.
Mr. Mackey gave the total number
of compensation cases since the law
went into effect, January 1, Is> 16 as
65,820, of which 2,113 were fatal cases.
Of the total 41,000 have been satis
factorily adjusted. Of the 2,113 fatal
cases 892 compensation agreements
have been approved by the board,
the amount in these cases being
52,263,003.24 awarded to dependents.
*9.,,133.88 of which has already been!
paid. The amount required to pay
the disability claims to date is!
$986,569.1)!). I
"We lind," said Mr. Mackey, "in the
bituminous coal region there were
4,492 compensation cases, 139 being
fatal, and in tbe anthracite region
8.908 compensation eases, 33.1 being
fatal. We also find that a majority of
the men killed are Americans and that
it requires between $2,500 and s2,t>oo
to pay (lie dependents in fatal cases."
Discussion of the compensation act
was marked by some sharp criticisms
of casualty companies and railroads.
A. B. I'arquhar, who spoke on the law
from the employers' standpoint, said
that it should be kept as it is for two
years without being changed so that
there could be a thorough try-out.
Representative James H. Maurer of
Reading, president of the State Fed
eration of Labor, declared that while
the law was praiseworthy it should be
changed and that the fourteen-day
period in which no compensation
could be paid should be reduced as
it caused suffering. The iieriod ol
iUI 1
permanent injury compensation he
snid should be extended and a more
liberal provision made as regards de
pendents. He charged that some
casualty companies had evaded pay
ments on compensation and said that
if they persisted it would mean gen
eral State Insurance. Railroad com
panies which use legal technicalities
and which take advantage o£ the
Inter-State Commerce law were de
nounced by Mr. Maurer.
After the noon meeting many dele
gates were received by the Governor
at the Executive Department.

This Simple La
A Household
Dr. Caldwell"s Syrup Pepsin
Should Have a Place in
Every Home.
Constipation, or inaction of the
bowels, a condition that nearly every
one experiences with more or less
frequency, is the direct cause of much
'disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stomach,
foul gases and poisons are generated,
and unless the congestion is quickly
relieved the system becomes weaken
ed and most susceptible to attack.
Various remedies to relieve consti
pation are prescribed, but many of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the com
bination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores un
der the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin.
The Hon. John D. Keister of
Brandywine, W. Va., who lihs rep
resented his district in the State Legis
lature for six years, writes that he
uses Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and
finds it a splendid laxative, easy to
take and mild, yet positive, In Its ac
tion, and that it should be in every
household for use when needed.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists in all parts of the United
States and costs only fifty cents a
bottle. It contains no opiate or nar
cotic drug, does not gripe and is
recommended as' a family laxative,
