Little Lighthouse Girl
Finds Distant Playmates
It's a far cry front the lighthouse
at Falrhaven, N. Y„ to Omaha, Neb.,
but Helen Fltapat rlok, a little rl
llvea all alone without any playmates
t the lighthouse, haa found play
mates In that distant Western city
and actually pinya games and enters
Into competitions with them. This
was brought about by the Camp Fire
Girls, who admitted lonely little Helen
to their Camp Fire In Omaha, and
•write her enthusiastic letters about
her progress In the Blmple arts they
all must learn, and the honors for
which they compete.
As life taught symbolism to the In
dians, so tlio sybollsm of the Camp
Fire movement is teaching real life to
Its girl members. For Instance, Helen
Fltzpatrlck learned to press a skirt
and coat; to air and make a bed! to
take care of a room, Including sweep
ing, dusting, washing windows and
carirfg for flowers; to take charge of
the pantry; to take dally care of two
kerosene lamps; to scrub a floor; to
take care of a baby at least an hour
a day; to bait a hook, catch, clean and
cook a flsh; to make a bead-band, and
to make a ceremonial dress.
For each of theso accomplishments,
the tasks being performed for stated
lengths of time, she was allowed to
put certain specified bead decora
tions on her Camp Fire dress, and the
acquisition of all ten of them has
brought her the title of Wood Gath
erer, and many letters from her dis
tant playmates who have sent her
photographs of themselves in their
own earned Camp Fire dresses. The
Camp Fire Girls movement is a suc
cessful way of making the simplest
domestic tasks seem attractive, and is
aimed exclusively at health and ef
ficiency in the home. One of the
Camp Fire "Guardians" has described
it as "a new way to enjoy life."
"It Saved My Life"
■' Says W. F. Burger
Transfer Company Man Says Tanlac
Saved Him tYom Going
Down and Out
WAS IN VERY BAD SHAPE
"Tanlac is the greatest tonic on the
market," says W. F. Burger, of 1532
Thompson St.. Ilarrisburg, Pa., a well
known llarrisburg Transfer Company
man.
"I was about ready to go down and
out for keeps and I can truthfully say
that Tanlac pulled me back from the
edge of the jumping of£ place."
"I have to be out in all kinds of
weather and the exposure had so
weakened my system that I was all
run down and my blood was chuck
full of badness." 1
"My face was covered with big
nasty pimples and blotches, I nad
hives all over my body and I had
chills and fever so bad"that I felt that
I would be racked to pieces."
"I certainly was in rotten bad con
dition and 1 was near desperate when
I heard about Tanlac."
"It sure did sound good to me and
I went to it quick. And it was all
1 hoped for and more for it fixed me
up right off the bat. I began to feel
better right away and now I feel as
if I had never had a sick day in my
life."
"My chills and fever has gone
away; those blotches and pimples are
clearing up fast and the hives have
flew the coop.' Just refer anybody
to me and I'll tell them that Tanlac is
the real medicine."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here at
Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac
man is meeting the peoplo and ex
plaining the merits of this master
medicine.

by Harry D. Keel, city Inspector of

In compiling the table, Inspector
Keel Included many articles not In

nuts, grains, coal, "coke, sand, lime
and other supplies. The present law
while It gives dealer* permission to use
measures, requires certain weights for
these commodities. Thn amendment,
however, would make It compulsory
to sell entirely by weight. This plan
has been favored by the State organi

weights for each bushel, half bushel,

To find the weight of a quart of any
of the above commodities, divide the
weight per bushel of said commodity
by two and call the answer ounces,
which will be the weight of one quart.
In a number of instances, accord
ing to City Inspector Reel, dealers pre
fer using weights instead of meas
ures, to prevent any possible violation
of the law.
S. P. C. A. Notes
One of the forms of work to which
the American Red Star Animal Relief
Is ■•'■~pd is care of the sanitation of
the shipping point, and the use of
proper care. Dr. R. Vans Agnew, vet
erinarian of the United States army,
in a recent article in the National Hu
mane Review, sa.ys:
"The great curse to-day on the
Mexican border is shipping fever or
influenza. While I was buying horses
I could hear them coughing all around
me. We no doubt bought animals
coming down with this disease. Under
the contract system the animals are
rushed from different, points to the
buying station for inspection. Though
some of the animals had been travel
ing several days, all were hustled from
the cars almost without food or water
and brought before us in an impov
erished condition. The horses really
showed no symptoms of disease save
that they were gaunt, so we would
take them. The same night the horses
were started for San Antonio or El
Paso and Riven another three or four
days' journey. I3y the time they reach
ed their destination the animals were
simply poor wrecks—their whole sys
tem run down—subject to disease in
its most virulent form.
"The slatted cattle cars are not
proper to ship horses in. The animals
are frequently brought direct from
pasture. The excitement and often the
temperature of the car causes them
to sweat profusely. This is followed by
a sudden chill when the train starts.
The effect is to make them very sus
ceptible to throat and lung disease."
The modern mother quickly learns
to shun for her children the neighbor
who feeds them indiscriminately.
There are just as many good reasons
for not feeding another's dog. Before
thoughtlessly interfering with the diet
of some carefully reared animal ask
yourself If you are willing: to pay for
the veterinary if the dog bccomss 111
from mistaken kindness.
Tantalizing an animal Is a thought
less habit that is unconsciously cruel.
A veterinarian of the United States
Navy says:
"There are far too many people in
the world who play with a dog for
their own amusement, without caring
whether the dog cares to participate in
the "lay, and actually are willing to
enjoy themselves at his expense. They
tickle his ears or the pads of his
paws, they roll him over on the
ground when he wants to stand up.
and even offer him tempting morsels
which they have no intention of let
ting him eat, for the pleasure of see
ing the pleading look la his
