LIKE A BIG LUMP IN HIS STOMACH Munition Worker's I.ife Was Made Miserable by Stomach Trouble "I AM CUHIvD," IIE SAYS "I don't know what it was that caused it but I felt all the time as if there was a lump in my stomach as big as a peck measure," says Wm. S. Quackenbush, a munition worker, of Steelton, Pa. "I knew I had indigestion and I suppose the lump was really gas but it sure did make me feel miserable. I couldn't get rid of it and it tired me out just as if 1 was carrying around a heavy weight all the time." "I had water brash, too, and that added to my misery and it took all my will power to keep me on the job and up to the mark with my work." "A neighbor of mine told me about Tanlac and he was so enthusiastic over the good it had done him that I started taking it myself and now I'm cured completely." "That lump in my stomach has gone entirely, the water brash that irritated me so has dried up and gone, my ap petite has picked up until I can hardly keep it satisfied. I'm sleeping like a top and feel line all over." "And I'm willing to tell anybody that I'm cured and that Tanlac did it." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac man is meeting the people and ex plaining the merits of this master medicine. Tanlac is sold also at the Gorgas Drug Store in the P. R. R. Station. © OR © Q Every Niqht jFor Constipation.

FOUR AMERICAN CONSULS HELD [Continued From First Page] States, detained Consul Mueller at Havana, Cuba, while he was on his way from Atlanta to Quito, Ecua dor. The American consuls detained in Germany are C onsu ' Henry C. A. transferred from Aachen to Harput, Turkey; Consul John Q. Wood, transferred from Chemnitz, to Messina; Vice-Consul W. Bruce Wal lace, transferred from Magdeburg to Constantinople, and Vice-Consul C. Inness Brown, transferred from Mann heim to Constantinople. Two Notes From Germany Two notes have been received from the German government on the sub ject; the first a week ago, charging that the United States had detained Mueller at Havana, and a second to day asking for a reply to the first, and also containing a statement on A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY IF CONSTIPATED I Look, Mother! Is tongue coated, breath feverish and stomach sour? j "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, ' liver, bowels. Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, I has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remem ! ber, a gentle liver and bowel cleans ing should always be the first treat ment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul,waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious "fruit laxative," and it never fails to effect a good "inside" cleansing. Di rections for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your home. A little given to-day saves a sick child to-morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," then look and see that it is made by the "Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company." TO STOP BAD COUGH SOOTHE DRY.

It added that as soon as Mueller had been allowed to proceed, the Ameri can consuls could go on. That the German government has been misinformed regarding Consul Mueller and other German consuls formerly stationed in the United States, is certain. The departure of none has been hindered by this gov ernment. Mueller, through no fault of the United States, was forced to re main in Havana longer than he at first though would be necessary and he cabled Berlin that he was detained there. The German government is be lieved to have taken this to mean that the United States was responsible for the detention. As a matter of fact Mueller was forced to remain in Ha vana because of temporary lack of transportation and failure to receive passports from the Ecuadorean gov ernment. Having made his arrange ments the former German consul at left Havana for his new post several days ago. Complains Against Hc|x>rt in the note received to-day Ger many complains against published re ports recently cabled to the United States from The Hague, in which it was stated that American consular officials leaving Germany had been mistreated. It is stated that every thing possible was done to provide for the comfortable and safe departure of the American officials and blame for the alleged misrepresentation is placed upon Vice Consul Harrold B. Quarton, formerly at Berlin, who Germany believes to have been the only consular official from Germany in The Hague at the time the newspaper articles were written as a means of influencing public opinion. As for the treatment said in news paper dispatches from Europe to have been accorded American consuls and members of the families, Germany de clares that instructions were given that they should receivo every per sonal consideration. However, it is made clear that on the grounds of military necessity there were many conditions incident to the crossing of the frontiers to which Am ericans, the same as citizens of other nationality 1 , had to submit. It was impossible, Germany asserts, that all the military regulations could be done away with at the time the American consular and diplomatic officials were crossing the frontier.

D.HALL GOES TO PHILADELPHIA Statistician of Highway De partment Takes Up Cham ber of Commerce Work W. R. D. Hall, statistician of the State Highway Department, to-day re signed his position, having been ap pointed manager of tlie Publicity Bu reau Of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.

Holders of 1916 licenses which are invalid after to-day are Mr. Ebel, at the National Hotel; Mr. Baturin, 600 State street, and Theodore 8. Frye. Frye oHtel, 501 State street. All three are located in the Capitol Park Exten sion zone. Passing of "Tile Frye" With the closing of the bar at the Frye Hotel, one of the most notor ious dives of the city will be deserted. Before the park extension plan was approved the Eighth Ward section in the vicinity of Fifth and Cowden streets was the scene of murders, drunken brawls and was always un der close surveillance by the police. Many times trips were made to the district to get drunks, murderers' and other criminals or thsir victims. Now, most of the old, tumble-down shanties in the alleys and streets have been torn down, and only large va cant lots remain. The big crowds which gathered almost nightly at the street corners are gone, and with the closing of the Frye and National Ho tels there will be no more trouble in the once famous "Eighth Ward" slum district, police believe. The trouble making element has moved north ward Into the Seventh Ward. Months ago, an application was made for a transfer of the Frye li cense to 1012 North Seventh street in the Seventh Ward. Church work ers, school officials and many resi dents remonstrated and the transfer was refused. Then, when petitions were filed for 1917 licenses, Mr. Speaks, colored, applied for the same place, 1012 North Seventh street. To day the petition was refused, with the result that for the first time in years there will be no colored man in Dau phin county holding a retail liquor li cense. The application of George E. Wing er, 137 North Fourth street, for n It cense for the place he now occupies, has been held under advisement and no decision given.

Some sharp fighting apparently has taken place near Verduns. Berlin re ports French night attacks near Avo court, made after artillery prepara tion but asserts they were failures.. Paris reports only patrol activity in the Avocourt region. The British are rapidly pushing . their way up the Tigris river towards Bagdad. To-day's official statement from London on the Tigris operations shows that after forcing the Turks from Kut-el-Amara, General Maude's forces have pursued the Ottoman troops more than 30 miles west and north west of Kut. This indicates an ad vance of some 15 miles since the last report and places the British not more than 7 5 miles in an air line from iiagdad, their objective. In their first expedition late in 1916, the British were within 18 miles of Bagdad, but were forced to retreat to Kut-el-Amara after a defeat at Ctesi phon, their nearest point of approach.
