RAILROAD RUMBLES TRAINMEN TO FIGHT REPEALER Will Line Up in Effort to Pre vent Passage of Amend ments Members of the Brotherhood of (Railroad Trainmen are lining up for a hard light against the repeal of the full crew bill. It is understood that each lodge will appoint a special com mittee to assist the legislative com mittee in using every effort to pre vent the passage of the repealer. At an enthusiastic meeting yester day of No. 383, the members discussed the proposed amendments to the full crew measure. Reference was made to necessity for guarding railroad property and equipment, and an argument put forth was that the more men on a crew the better protec tion is given a train. Local trainmen are of the opinion -that at present it would be a good thing to Increase the number of men to a train. One train man said recently: "A full crew is needed. Many times it is impossible to give a train com plete inspection because of the lack of men. Sometimes with a train of 75 cars, two trainmen have all they can do to look over 50 cars before it is time to start on the run. The pub lic is not acquainted with the duties of trainmen. They must inspect brasses, brakes, air, coupling and doors, watch lor axle and wheel troubles and at tend to their regular duties. With more men to a train every car can be given a thorough inspection. It is a question of safety first, and the old saying is: 'a stitch in time saves nine.', All the trainmen now in service arc needed, and a full crew is necessary on all trains." AN OPERATION AVERTED Philadelphia, Pa.—"One year ago I was very sick and I suffered with pains 1111111111111111111111 l l' n my s '^ e an< * back until I nearly went differentdoctorsand 2? they all said I had ■ . Jkt trouble and relief until I would had suffered forfour years before this time, but I keptget ting worse the mora medicine I took. Every month since I was a young girl I had suffered with cramps in my sides at periods and was never regular. I saw your advertise ment in the newspaper and the picture of a woman who had been saved from an operation and this picture was im pressed on my mind. The doctor had ffven me only two more day 3 to make : up my mind so I sent my husband to the drug store at once for a bottle of Lydia | E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and i believe me, I soon noticed a change and when I had finished the third bottle I was cured and never felt better. I grant > you the privilege to publish my letter 1 and am only too glad to let other women know of my cure. "—Mrs. THOS. MCGON. IGAL, 2432 Hartville Street, Phlla., Pa - j WELL-KNOWN LODGE MAN PRAISES TANLAC Harry F. Mlnahan, of 2144 Green wood St., Ilurrisburg, Pa., prominent in the Knights of. Malta and Inside Sentinel of Order Woodmen of the World highly recommends the master medicine to his lodge brothers and to all who are run down. He says: "I was miserable. I felt all tired out and run down so that I could hardly drag myself to work and the days seemed as i£ they would never come to an end. "I got so bad that sometimes I didn't care whether I lived over night or not —I wanted to rest and rest until I was rested out, but I couldn't. "I would drag myself home from a hard day's work at the mill and by' the time I had taken care of my poul try and garden X was simply done out. Too tired to go to lodge meetings or even to eat. And sleep didn't rest me " bit for I would get up In the niorn fng just as tired as when I turned in. "But as soon as X began taking Tan lac I began to spruce up. I got to 'eeling better and better and now I am full of pep, I eat hearty and enjoy every bit and I am glad to be alive. I'm as different to what I was a little while ago as day is from night and I can truthfully say that this great ! change was brought about by Tanlac. That's why I urge everybody to take Tanlac, the famous reconstructive lonic, is now being introduced here at (Jorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac man is meeting the people and ex plaining the merits of this master medicine. Would You Gain a Pound A for Three Montlmt Then begin taking regularly three grain hypo-nuclane tablets, which are made from a health-germ of ordinary Vj;ast and combined with hypophos- Pl'ltes and an absorptive phosphorus.

Dixon, State Commis sioner of Health, to-day called upon people to take care of themselves and prepare for the wur by preparing them selves. The Commissioner suggested that the best way to help was to de velop individualism. Dr. Dixon said: When we talk about a representative form of government and the health of o ir people, we rarely stop to think of our individual part in the respon sibility and efficiency of our govern ment and its every act. We are all highly critical of the way in which our municipalities and our State and federal departments are conducted, without a b|ush at our own want of individual responsibility in governmental afTairs when it is lime to! direct them as they should go. The large majority of us, from thej time we get ijp-in the morning and start to look after our domestic af fairs and those concerning our busi ness or profession, until the day's end, I consider no efforts too great for rill ciency, let them be what they may. i The large majority of our voters, how ever, never stop to weigh earnestly the acts of public officials day by dvty and a<}d up, so that when it comes time for nominating officials, we may have a record of the men entrusted to take care of our affairs. Jt is rarely vou meet men at the polls who can intelli gently analyze the character of those who are to be voted for to take care of our lives our health, our personal and real property, and to malie use of our money, paid over to them in the form of taxes, for the upkeep of those things necessary in higher civ ilized life. We should be as careful In voting for public officials as we are in select ing banks In which we propose to de posit our earnings." The manner in which our govern ment is being conducted should oc cupy some part of each day of our lives, that we may keep in touch with public life as we do with our everyday affairs, both at home and in business. It we neglect to play our part in our government, it soon becomes empiri cal. or run by a few, .nd those who sometimes take but a selfish interest In our affairs. This same individual indifference toward our duties as members of a representative form of government can bo compared with our neglect of our individual health. We rise in the morning and formulate our dailv work, looking after the social, business or professional duties; but we give little or no attention to the sanitary condition of our homes and the.prop er treatment of our physical and men tal bodies, to place them in the high est point of efficiency. Now, in the timo of war, let us stop and deliberate and take thought as to the necessity of every individual i keeping his body, physically and ment-1 ally, up to the very highest state of I health, because it is the adding up of the strength of the individuals that represent the strength of our Nation.

Plain Talk Likely on Defense Bill Unless leaders of the Senate and the Governor get together In regard to the method of expending the $2,000,000 asked In the defense bill there will probably be a renewal of the discussion of the subject in the Senate and spades may be called spades. It is said that another effort will be made to-nlglil to reach an agree ment on the bill and that if it fails friends of the Governor will make a statement in the Senate which will probably bring about some replies.

Philadelphia Bills to the Front To night Philadelphia city legislation will fur nish the fireworks when the House of Representatives reconvenes for the wek to-night and . to-morrow the woman suffrage constitutional amend ment and the capital punishment abolition bill will hold the center of the stage In the lower branch' of the Legislature. ' To-night the bills designed to re strict activity of policemen and fire men in Philadelphia politics and to prevent soliciting of contributions from Philadelphia office holders will be taken up, ther being a special order on one of them. The drugless thera peutics board bill is also due to come up and between the two there will be little else doing. Many new bills are expected to be presntd, but Just why, no 6n can say, as there are slim pros pects of the Legislature passing very many df them. Opponents of the woman suffrage amendment say that the action of Mlsp Rankin, member of Congress from Montana, in voting against the war resolution has damaged the prospects of the measure and the anti-suffragist." are busy as nailers. The resolution will be on a special order to-morrow morning. The capital punishment bill Is to be made a special order for to-mor row and men who oppose it are re ferring to the Kddystone disaster as a reason why there should be capital punishment, because life imprison ment, in their opinion, would be too good for the persons responsible for that outrage. The House has a tremendous cal endar for to-night, there being 120 bills on third reading and 6 2 on second. LIVING ON YOUR NERVE Everybody lias a store of nervous en ergy. When work or worry without sufficient rest exhausts this store aeon ! dition results that medical men call ! neurasthenia. It is commonly met with in those 1 who have had keen anxieties, as those j who have cared for sick relatives, bus i ihess men who worry over their affairs and neglect to take vacations. Women who are too active socially, anyone who lias too much excitement and too littlo I rest may show the svmptoms. | The complexion becomes pale, you | imagine unpleasant things, your brain ! insists on working when you want to go to sleep. Sometimes you are mel j ancholy. Things that used to pleaso you no longer do so. Constipation is usually present. You worry about yourself and your work and cannot for get your anxieties. No doctor can cure neurasthenia. ! You have to do it yourself. The first thing is to write to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for the booklet on the homo treatment of nervous disorders. If you want to start the treatment before the book • ,comes get a lifty-cent box of Dr. Wil liams' l'inl* Pills from the nearest drug store and follow the directions carefully. 5
