to producing two million tons of food.
"X do not say that the war ia go

Legislature to Push Through
$165,000 Appropriation
Next Week
Members of the House of Repre
sentatives will pass on to the Sen
ate by Wednesday morning the bill'
to make $165,000 of the unexpended
National Guard appropriation avail
able for immediate work for im
provement of the Mt. Gretna camp
site. This work will be supplemen
tal to what the United States Gov
ernment will do in the way of mak
ing it a more or less permanent camp
site. It is possible that a canton
ment plan may be adopted, although
on this point there is no information
obtainable yet.
The money to be reappropriated
will enable the State Highway de
partment to reconstruct several im
portant roads along the railroad and
through the camp for the more con
venient handling of supplies and
also the enlargement of the water
supply and the establishment of a
sewage disposal system.
General belief is that May will not
be very far advanced before the Na
tional Guard will be called to mobil
ize at Mt. Gretna and that the camp
will aJso be used for training of
volunteer units as was Camp Meade
at the time of the Philippine in
surrection.

Relieved at Last

tarrh, of the head and stomach,"
says Jacol) Olendenin, a well-known
farmer, of Camp Hill, near Harris
burg, Pa.
"The constant irritation and mu
cuous had so upset my stomach that
I could not eat anything without ter
rible distress afterwards from the
pressure of the gas that would form
and fill me up."
"I couldn't sleep, I had headache
almost all the time and I was ner
vous, irritable and had to fairly force
myself to attend to my work.
"Finally 1 was persuaded to give
Tanlac a trial and I am now free
to say that it ts really a wonder
worker, for it certainly fixed me up

ish and enjoyment. I sleep like a top

and I do not suffer from headaches
as I used to."
