SO RUN DOWN SHE TOOK COLD OFTEN Mrs. Fields Praises Tanlac Thinks It Fine Tonic For Run Down System DID HER MUCH GOOD "I certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Tanlac," says Mrs. Susan Fields, of 4 8 Furnace St., Steelton, Pa., "for it has helped me wonderfully and brought me back to health and hap piness so quickly that it is hardly believable. "I was all run down and my system was so weakened that I took cold easily and then would have an awful time getting rid of it for it would hang on and hang on until I would be worried almost sick. "I was constipated all the time and I don't believe I was ever without a headache.. In fact I was just about as miserable as I could be and I just sort of dragged myself through my daily round of household duties. "I could never seem to get rested but always felt tired out even when 1 first got up in the mornings." "I guess my son must have had his j eye on mo for one day not so long ago ! ho brought me home a bottle of Tan lac and persuaded me to start taking 1 it. I did it just to please him but, my I goodness, it helped me so much that J I just kept right on with it and now | 1 can truthfully say that it has freed me from all my afflictions." "My headaches are all gone, I feel bright and happy and I have a splen did appetite. My whole system has been built up by this splendid tonic. 1 certainly think that every one who is run down should take It." Tanlac. the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tan lac man is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine. Tanlac is sold also at the Gorgas Drug Store in the P. R. R. Station.

M. / MONDAY EVENING, CONFUSION HAS OCCURRED IN LAWS Chief Moore Calls Attention to Some Conditions Discovered in Compilation | In his re J Jort on ■V\\ // J\ the codification of if, st nr h of u ; e State, which goes to Legislature to night, James N. Moore, chief of the Pennsylvania State Legislative Refer* ence Bureau, calls j BW* c 3 attention to what IbmShmESSml he terms "The un- I satisfactory condition of our charity ; laws, especially those relating to the j insane." Mr. Moore announces that j codes containing the acts relative to I lirst and second class townships, juve ! Nile courts and delinquent and de j pendent children and relative to the l State Board of Public have | been prepared In his bureau as well j as sixty bills to repeal nearly a thou -1 sand obsolete laws. The latter were , included in the "omnibus repealer" of ■ last session, but this year all such j laws have been grouped. j Concerning the charity laws Mr. ' Moore says that under the chapter dealing with commitment of insane and inebriates to institutions arei found nineteen different methods of commitment. "To the laymen" says he, "This is at once confusing and to the lawyers ofttimes a stumbling block. A similar condition will be I found upon consulting the chapter re- J lating to the cost of commitment, i care and maintenance of insane and inebriates. So far as possible this confusion has been clarified by the use I of headings showing specifically the subject to which each section ap plies." In discussing the proposed code relative to townships. which goes back to the days of the beginning of the Commonwealth the director says "Considerable trouble was experienced with the numerous acts relating to 'municipalities.' While the supreme court has lately ruled that a first class ; township is not a 'municipal corpora tion,' there are several late cases de ! elded by the lower courts which rule ithat a township is a 'municipality.' ; Attention is called to this indefinite I use of the term 'municipalities' in the ; hope that future legislation may be drafted with specific mention of the agencies of the State to which the Legislature intends the legislation to apply." Mr. Moore acknowledges the assist ance given in the complication of the codes submitted in 1915 and the re cent work on the federal and State constitutions as well as the new codes by John H. Fertig, now assistant di rector; Frank M. Hunter and S. Ed ward Hannestead, of his staff in 'clearing the ways to wipe statute j books of "a vast mass of legislation that has no place there." Inspector Named. The State In i surance Fund board has appointed Malcolm MacDougall as inspector of ' mining operations for the State Fund, which insures mining risks among its ; business. He will enter upon his | duties at once and have headquar ters at Johnstown. Mr. MacDougall lis a mining engineer and had charge of mines in central and northern coun ties. Hoard of Pardons.

V BRITISH CRUISER LAURENTIC SUNK Former Ocean Liner Victim of Mine or Submarine; Many Lives Lost London, Jan. 29.—The British aux iliary cruiser Laurenttc, of 14,892 tons grass, has been sunk by a submarine or as a result of striking a mine, ac cording to a statement issued last night by the admiralty. Twelve officers atxi 109 men were saved. The statement adds that the vessel went down eff the Irish coast last Thursday. A ship of her size, even when in the merchant service and carrying no pas sengers, requires a crew of about 150 men, it is probable there was consid erable loss of life when the Laurenttc was sunk. F.efore being taken over by the ad miralty for auxiliary cruiser duty the Eaurentic was in the service of the White Star-Dominion Line. The ves sel was owned by the Ocean Steam Navigation Company, of Liverpool. RUSSIANS BREAK THROUGH TEUTONS [Continued l'Yoni First Vge] berg came to a pause some months ago. The Turkish troops apparently aro the main defenders of the central powers' line in this region and Berlin declares that they have been success ful in beating oft the assaults made by strong masses of Russians. The Franco-Belgian front is also breaking out into activity at many potnts. Berlin reports persistent ef forts by the French to recapture their lost positions at Hill 304, northwest of Verdun. A surprise attack, which failed, was followed by three assaults after the regulation artillery prepa ration, but these are declared all to have broken down without the slight est gain. May Start Alsace Drive The possibility pointed to by recent developments that an offensive move ment in Alsace was in contemplation by the Germans has not been lost sight of and to-day's reports bring further evidences of somewhat pro nounced activity in this sector of the French front. Numerous patrol clashes there are recorded in the French statement, while in one case something more than a raid'was attempted, Paris says, an advance being made on one of the French trenches at Hartmansweiler- Kopf. This, according to Paris, was easily beaten back. Berlin, however, classes it with the other raiding op erations and announces that it re sulted in the capture of thirty-five prisoners and a machine gun. The British front in France is also a lively sector. The reported capture -by the British late last week of an im portant position near Le Transley was followed yesterday by fresh assaults delivered by British troops north of Armentieres. These failed, with se vere losses, according to Berlin, while southwest of Le Transley the Germans captured a British post. Russia Is Experiencing Famine in Midst of Plenty London, Jan. 29.

Druggist Brown also bays the right time to stop the drink habit Is at its beginning unless you want drink to deaden the fine sensibilities of the hus band you love. Begin with the first whiff of liquor on Tils breath but do not despair if he has gone from aad to worse until he is rum-soi ted through and through.
