NURSE PRAISES MASTER MEDICINE 5n the Verge of Nervous Breakdown She Uses Tanlac anil Recovers RECOMMENDS IT HIGHLY "Tanlac has proved such a re markably efficient tonic and has done *o much for me that I feel that I owe it to other sufferers to endorse it," says Mrs. W. R. Backenstoss, a well known maternity nurse, whose address is 'Route, 5, Harrisburg, Pa. Mrs. Backenstoss says further, "I was on the verge of a nervous break- j down brought about partly by hard work and partly by catarrh of the stomach and acute indigestion. "I was unable to sleep, I had a pal pitation of the heart. I would bloat j with gas whenever I laid down, 1 had frequent spells of dizziness and I was ] rapidly losing weight." "Naturally I was concerned over my condition and realized that I must 1 do something quickly, so having heard so much about Tanlac I drop ped in and had a talk with the Tan- j lac man. As a result I began taking this remarkable remedy and I am free to say that the results were far be- j yond my expectations. "The relief I obtained was almost ' immediate and as I went on I could j almost feel my strength returning. My nerves rapidly grew stronger; I slept better and that tired feeling left me i and my stomach has now been so i toned up and strengthened that I cain eat as I have not been able to for j a long time." "Tanlac has performed wonders in ' my case and I have no hesitancy in advising its use by anyone who is suf fering from stomach disorders or a i run down, nervous condition." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here' at Gorgas" Drug Store, where the j Tanlac man is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine.

Cocktails j were served in small nursing bottles | at a "Baby party" given at the St. Louis Country Club by Mr. and Mrs. Julius S. Walsh, Jr. Each bottle was 1 fitted with the usual rubber nipple ! used with such containers when a ! milder form of beverage is served to j ! real babies. The guests included the j acknowledged social leaders and i | members of the younger married set j j and the debutante set. All of the lOflj guests were dressed as children and j from afl reports there were "some babies" among those present. Every known variety of dressed-up children was represented at the gath ering. There were "children" from every walk of life, poor, little waifs ; and poor little rich girls, sunbonnet | babies, romper kids and sailor boys. ; The room where *the "nursing bottle ! cocktails" were served was fitted up ;to represent a bar. To gain entrance j to the bar it was necessary for the i guests to climb a ladder and slide down a board into the room. The same performance was repeated in de parting. Mrs. Walsh wore a long waisted knee length white lace frock with a blue sash and a blue ribbon in her ; hair and blue soks over flesh colored stockings. Wa'mh appeared first as ■ little Lord Fauntleroy and later as an Eton lad. The supper room was arranged like a cafe with small tables and a negro quartet with banjos furnished music. Walsh is a son of the chairman of the j board of directors of the Mississippi | Valley Trust Company, one of the largest institutions in the city.

[FOODS TH DESTROY ° R l! AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT By ALFRED W. McCANN I The Comments of Congressman | I Walter >l. Chandler anil l>r. K. C.

Witnessed In the Jersey City | : slaughtering Establishments Consti-! tute a (iraplile Exposition of the Pre- ; j ventable l-.vils of the Present System. "We are all fools and we are paying 1 j the price of our folly," said Congress-1 ; man Walter M. Chandler after wit-; j nessing the slaughter ot twenty-eight tubercular cows condemned in a cer-! , tilled dairy. His complete statement, which led 1 : to the first radical action even under- j I taken by the federal government to j suppress the diseased animal Indus- j ; try, bears the date of Oct. 29, 1914,1 ! and reads as follows: "I am astounded over the things I which Mr. McCann led me to this; j morning. Congress knows nothing of j the food situation of this country.! The ignorance of the nation's law makers with regard to TII9 things that I j I saw to-day is deadly. If we could > I lead all the members of Congress in j one body through a six-day excursion | such as I was led through to-day, 1 there would be an uprising at Wash- i ington such as only a threatened war j might inspire. "It is because the representatives of 1 ■ the people have not seen the truth 1 • for themselves that they are fooled 1 1 into a state of passive indifference I while all around them these horrible | conditions flourish. "I saw to-day the slaughter, under i federal supervision, of twenty-eight j tubercular cows which by mere acci-. 1 dent had been weeded out of a New I j Jersey certified dairy and intercepted I by the government on their way to a ! group of New York butchers. "1 saw the bunches of tubercles in I the lungs, bronchial tubes, liver, andj j intestines of these animals. I "1 saw the government veterinarians | condemn the carcass of a diseased; beast that had been supplying our ■ children with milk certified by twelve! j eminent physicians. I "In other pens of the Jersey City, I stockyards I saw cows in such a de-' | plorable physical condition that it j 1 seemed to me they should have been l | shot on the spot and burned. These j 1 very cows were on their way through 1 I interstate commerce from New Jersey 1 jto New York to be butchered and! consumed as food. "'These cows,' said one of the 'ed-' i eral officials present, in response to a j ! question put by me, 'are undoubtedly! diseased. None of them are fit for' food. None of them would be passed I if killed in a federal inspected estab- • I lishment. But we cannot hold them because physical 'examination does I not disclose sufficient evidence on | which to make a seizure. " "If we were to condemn any of: ; these cows, and it were found on 1 ; post-mortem that they w r ere not : tubercular, we would simply be up i 'against it. We are unable to take a' j chance, although our judgment tells us that it is pitiable to see such ani-j i mats pass through our hands into the 1 food supply of the country. " 'We have no right to interfere! I unless we know_to a certainty that* the animal is suffering from an in-} 1 factious, contagious, or communicable | | disease. Even if we did take pos- j i session of these cows in order to keep } them out of interstate commerce,' under the law as it now stands their 1 1 owners could take them from us here in Jersey City and send them I ALIEN RESIDENTS ARE GIVEN RELIEF Interesting Decision Given To day by the State Compen sation Board ■ The State Workman's Compensa-1 |! tion Board in an opinion handed down ! | to-day by Commissioner James W.' ; ; Leech decides how compensation to '! dependents of a deceased workman i shall be divided when one is a resident 1 of another country.

Now I cannot understand why it should make any difference, because the en gine runs very nearly as hot in winter ! as it does in summer.' "Without knowing the make of car and the kind of oiling system used, a definite recommendation cannot be made in this ease, but the advice to use a lighter oil in winter is correct In most cases. Cylinders receive their t lubrication chiefly from some form of a splash system. While the temper ature of the cylinder walls is about the same in winter as in summer when the engine Is running, the temperature in the crank case is much less in win ter. This makes the oil in the crank case thicker and It does not splash as freely. Consequently, to lubricate the cylinders as well in winter as in sum mer a lighter oil is needed."

"Going Into another pen 1 saw two | cows that had been seized by the gov ernment because the glands In the ! neck, swollen and lumpy, clearly ln j dicated that they were tubercular, j ".An official admitted to me that there were a hundred places within the animals' bodies where active tu bercular processes could be going on I without disclosing any outward evi j dence of the disease. Simply because ; these two suspected cows showed ex l ternal evidence of the disease in the l neck, where it could be felt by the \ hand, they, were removed from a herd | of twenty other cows and he4d by the government. All the other cows, < which were in the same lamentable physical condition, were released for slaughter solely because they pos sessed no external marks discoverable I to the touch.

"The hideous spectacle makes me • feel that I never want to eat meat 1 again unless X have an absolute guar j antee of its wlicrlesomeness. Under present conditions I now see that such a guarantee is impossible." ; Following this statement of Con gressman Chandler. Dr. It. C. Newton. ! president of the New .lersey State | Board of Health, said over his signa ! ture: | "The Hoard of Health of the State :of New Jersey does not know what \ becomes of all the tubercular cows | of this State, and has no means of | knowing. The Legislature at Tren | ton has blocked every important pub- I lie health question which has ever | been laid before it. "There are 300 slaughterhouses in : New Jersey where diseased animals j are slaughtered for food and where ! in some instances carcasses of animals i that have died from disease are .dressed for market. It is the business of the State Board of Health to know what becomes of these animals, but it does not possess sufficient men or means to do the work. I "The press is absolutely quiet on ! the subject and at this minute there seems to be no hope for the situation. The whole State is steeped in lethargy and indifference on questions of pub lic health, and it will continue to pay the price in disease and death until I somebody succeeds in awakening its intelligence and its conscience." These signed statements of Con ' gressman Chandler and Dr. Newton ! were made public and within three ! days federal officials, as we are about ito see. indicated by their extraordi j nary conduct that they did have the 1 power, without a special act of con j gress. to put an end to the abuses I which they had tolerated in silence for Iso long a time. LIBRARY BREAKS ALL BOOK RECORDS December Circulation Goes to Unprecedented Figure of 10,61 i I December reports of the Harrisburg Public Library, submitted to the board of trustees at their monthly meeting last night, were considerable of a - sur i prise, as, they showed the December circulation to have gone to the un l precedented figure of 10,611, while the j information was also given that the I circulation for the first Saturday of | January had risen to almost 1,000. These figures indicate a demand for i service close to the ability of the I library io supply with its stack of less than 19,750 books and its limited i amount of money available for pur : chase of books, especially those of I special character which are now so j much requested. j The circulation last month was about 2,000 ahead of last December and over 1,000 ahead of November, and the six libraries located in the ; public schools circulated "54 books, ; with demands for more books from ithe existing libraries and requests to i establish branches in four more pub lic schools. An organization with a I community headquarters in the Sliim ' mell building offered to supply an as | sistant to take charge of books and ; requests for more books for the young- I sters at the open air school were also 1 made. An unusually high percentage i of circulation lately has been among ! [the school children for whom a story hour is held at the library and who arc visited by members of library staff and given talks at their schools on how to use books. The total registration of persons taking out hooks at the library has reached 14,557. considerably beyond expectations, while In December alone i there were 2,996 persons who visited the library to read books in the build ing. The library's work for the city last year was considerably expanded and the demands for the new year bid fair to be the greatest yet. Threw Bluff and Sold $75 Diamond Pin For a Quarter Kansas City.

Is the subject matter of a recent paper published by Professor Henry N. Itussell of Princeton University. The professor also has located a cer tain kind of twin stars In the heavens which keep very close together and go around one another, eclipsing one another In the course of each revolu tion. Mr. Russell has been studying the stars for the last ten years and has computed the orbits of more than a hundred. His most recent work gives the exact orbit of the two pairs, on which he has made more than 24,000 'observations. In one case it was found that the fainter of the two stars, here tofore supposedly a dark body was actually brighter than the other stars of the pair. Some of the stars are said to be so bright that if the sun could be placed In the front of one of them and the two viewed together the sun would look like a dark brown spot compared with the brilliant white of the star.

The child carried a little suitcase fill ed with homemade cakes, doughnuts and other edibles and also clung close ly to a rag doll. She had been Intrusted to the care of the train crew when she started from her station and received many attentions from the passengers.

Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Miller had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS i Says Bachache is sign you have been eating too much meat. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of par alyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re moving all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick head ache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, I tongue is coated, and when the weath- I er is bad you have rheumatic twinges. jThe urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds I and you are obliged to seok relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days aud your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts lb made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthla, and has been used for generations to clean and ! stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so It no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It Is Inexpensive, cannot Injure and makes a delightful, effer vescent Uthia-water drink. 7
