Important Question Settled by
the State Compensation
Board in Opinion
The St&to Workmen's Compensation
Board in an exhaustive opinion by
Chairman Jlackey has upheld Referee
Klauder, of Philadelphia, in making
an award to Grace A Keller In a com
pensation claim for the death of her
'husband, an employe of the Aubrey
Ice and Coal Company. Philadelphia.
The man died from illness which, it
was claimed, was caused by an tnjury,
and the opinion deals with the ad
missibility of evidence in compensa
tion cases. The widow has live chil
dren under 10 years of ago and her
husband earned $5 a week.
"We are not unmindful of the dif
ficulties of proof, as frequently death
closes the avenue of direct testimony,
for by the very nature of the employ
ment many of these accidents happen
with no eye-witness," says the opinion.
"Perhaps we have gone as far as any
board '•> insisting upon what might be
called f tmmon law evidence,' but we
are aware that tl\e courts are grad
\ially opening the doors to testimony
that might In the old practice be
repugnant to traditional theories\\nd
are coming to the conclusion that
often the statement of a deceased Is so
closely related to the main event under
consideration that when taken with its
corroborating circumstances and the
evidence of physical injury which the
body of the deceased presents all leads
the mind to a firmer conviction and a
more satisfactory result than often
times can bo reached through the me
dium of witnesses whose credibility is
not beyond impeachment or whose
memories arc at least treacherous and
uncertain."
The eight-year-old son of the de
ceased was the chief witness for the
claimant.
ANOTHER LOCAL
MAN BENEFITED
Was On the Verge of Xenons Col
lapse When Famous Remedy
lielieved Him
"WONDERFrij," HE SAYS
"For many and many a day my life
has been made miserable by nervous
ness, indigestion and loss of sleep,"
says W. H. Burk, who lives at 826
N. 3rd St., Harrisburg, Pa.
"Why I was so run down," he con
tinues, "that I was on the verge of a
nervous collapse. I now get a good
night's rest and I used to get up Iri
the morning feeling heavy and loggy
as if I had been working for a week
without stopping.
"I had no appetite and what little
I did force down used to distress me
for hours afterwards. My stomach
would feel as If it was burning up
unci I would have such a headache
that it felt as though my head would
split in two. I was nervous and irri
table and wouldn't do my work right.
"But since taking Tanlac I am a
different man altogether. I feel as If
I had been made over and my poor
old worn out system replaced with a
new one. Tanlac has done me more
good than anything else in the world
find I want to recommend It to anyone
needing a system builder. My head
aches are all gone, I sleep like a log,
In fact, sometimes I'm afraid I'll sleep
so soundly that I won't wake up in
time for work. My stomach is in fine
shape, so that I can now eat and en-
Joy anything I like and my nerves are
strong and steady."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic is now being introduced here at
Borgas' Drug Store, where the Tan
lac man is meeting the people and
telling them about the merits of this
master medicine.

STOMACH MEDICINES
ARE DANGEROUS
lOCTORS .NOW ADVISE MAGNESIA
Just how dangerous it is to indls
riminately dose the stomach with
Irugs and medicines is often not real
zed until too late. It seems so simple
o swallow a dose of some special mix
ure or take tablets of soda, pepsin
ismuth, etc. after meals, and the folly
>f this drugging Is not apparent un
il, perhaps years afterward, when it
! found that gastric ulcers have al
nost eaten their way through the
tomach walls. Regrets are then un
vaillng: it is In the early stages when
ndig.stion, dyspepsia, heartburn
atulence, etc. indicates excessive
cldity of the stomach and fermenta
lon of rood contents that precaution
hould be taken. Drugs and medicines
re unsuitable and often dangerous—
hey have little or no influence upon
lie harmful acid, and that is why doct
ors are discarding them and advising
ufTerers from indigestion and stom
ch trouble to g.-t rid of the dangerous
cid and keep the food contents bland
nd sweet by taking a little pure bls
ratcd magnesia instead. TJisurated
lagnesia Is an absolutely pure anti

Jackson is charged with having
shot Brown following a quarrel, al
though tho police contend that the

The first witness for the State was
Detective I. N. Durnbaugh, who
brought Jackson back from Charlotte

the shooting. On the way north,
Durnbaugh said, Jackson confided to
him that he had shot Brown, but said
