"I am considered a very well pre
served man for my years," says J. M. |
Hafer, a hale and hearty octogenar- i
jan, of Gibralter (near Reading), Pa.
"I am spry and active*, my faculties;
are unimpaired, and I am able to do
a day's work that would put many a
much younger man down and out.
"And I attribute my present health
entirely to the benficial effects of
Tanlae, for before I started taking,
this wonderful remedy I was in mis-'
ery from my stomach.
"After eating I would bloat up;
with gas and suffer considerable 1
pain; my heart action was weak and
irregular and I had a great manyj
headaches.
"I certainly am glad that I had
the courage to start in with Tanlac,!
for as I have said, it has freed ms I
from my disorders and made me f=el |
years younger."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine. • ,

You Are
Wise To
Buy Coal Now •
Investigations show that throughout the
nation a shortage of 12,000,000 tons of
Anthracite is threatened.
It is a curious fact that the shortage is in sight
despite the fact that the output of cqal so far this
year has been in excess of last year's production.
However, on January 1, 1916, there were in stor
age, as a reserve supply for the country 6,500,000
tons of Anthracite. On January 1, 1917, there was
in storage not one ton.
If you want coal, remember that to produce and
distribute it the mines must have miners and cars.
If a serious coal famine is to be avoided next winter
the relatively few miners and cars must be worked
to the maximum this summer. This can be done
only if the coal consumers take part of what they
need this summer when the miners have time to
mine it and when the railroads can transport it.
Last year the mines ran 230 days.. This year to
produce sufficient coal all the mines in the nation
will have to run twenty-three more days in the next
nine months than they were able to run in the cor
responding period last £ear.
This means further that they \yill have to get,
somewhere and somehow, the addfd cars to carry
the coal. And Daniel Willard, President of the
B. &OR. R. says the nation will require 75% of
the railroad facilities to win the war.
The job seems almost hopeless. Next Winter's
fuel famine will likely be far more severe than last
year unless you buy part of your coal this Summer.

FRIDAY EVENING,
In the Invitation to be largely mill- |
tary and upon the Balkan situation.
The United States at present has no
direct Interest In that question as
affecting Its own war plans, it was
stated, except as It reacts on the
whole war situation. It Is not deemed
necessary for this country to Inter
fere In military and diplomatic ques
tions with which It has no Imme
diate concern.
Nevertheless It is realized that as
a final settlement of the world war
It. reached the voice of the United
States will have to become Increas
ingly Important In Its attempt to se
cure a Just peace which shall free
the world from causes of future
ware. On that basis the government
Is examining the various plans of
reconstruction suggested, and will,
when It deems the moment ripe, sug
gest equitable adjustments. This
time, however. Is thought not yet
to have arrived.
As yet few details of the Paris
conference have been received here
but It Is understood It will discuss
the whole Balkan question In view
of Greece's active entrance Into the
war, which changes both the mili
tary and diplomatic situation ftere.
The Salonikt campaign is known
to bo one of the subjects for discus
sion and It Is presumed that the ad
visability of an advance there, aided
by Greece's forces. Is the main con
sideration. Already the allies have
! more than 700,000 men in that sec-
I tor, with Greece able to add an
other 250,000 as soon as they can be
mobilized and equipped.
Similarly Greece's entry into the
war necessitates a readjustment in
the diplomatic situation, especially
as Greece and Italy have not been
in perfect accord as to the Balkans.
Italian troops have found It neces
sary during Greece's indecision to
occupy Greek territory as far south
as Janina which probably will be
evacuated as soon as Greece is mob
ilized. Likewise, the two nations,
agreeing in the independence of Al
bania. disagree as to the southern
boundary and also as to Italy's
claims on Yalona.

GO AFTER THAT
BILLIOUSNESS AND
SICKJiEADACHE
One dose of a-simple vegetable laxa
tive is all that is needed. Don't take
calomel, salts or powerful purgative
pills. If you do you will become a
chronic sufferer from Constipation and
Liver Troubles.
Every one needs to take a good lax
ative occasionally, and failure to do
I this is the reason why there are so
i many sufferers fom chronic stomach,
liver, kidney and bowel troubles.
Simply go to your druggist and ask
for a small box of Lebanon Herb Tab
lets. Take one to-night, you will feel
one hundred per cent, better by the
morning. Nature's way is always the
best and that is why Lebanon Herb
Tablets, being purely vegetable, are
so effective in correcting and toning
up the Stomach, aiding digestion and
making the liver active, banishing
Rheumatism and Constipation.
Every druggist in America is au
thorized to refund the purchase price

CANNING R
ARE EXCHANGED
BY HOUSEWIVES
YOU with hundreds of other housewives have successful methods
of canning, preserving and drying foods and fruits, which have
either been handed down to you from generations of y°" r
cestors or which you have evolved. Ths feature of the HARRIS
BURG TELEGRAPH is designed to help you exchange your ideaa
with other housewives Send your favorite receipts and methods to
the editor and they will be placed before thousands of other house
wives. In this way they can be placed before the public and do the
maximum amount of good.
PRESERVING CANNING DRYING
without previous experience, and with no other equipment than
to be found In almost every home, anyone, adult or child should be
able to can food satisfactorily by the methods which follow.
They are a combination of the best methods found by the Gov
ernment and the housewives of Central Pensylvanla. By the methods
various vegetables, soups, meats, fish and practically any other food
or combination of foods can be canned, as well aa fruits and tomatoes,
the products most commonly canned.
The simple, general rules necessary for successful canning, by
the one period, cold pack methods will be given.
In all home canning it should be born in mind that when hermetic
ally sealed containers are difficult to obtain, food products which
cannot be preserved easily In other ways should be given preference.
Ths would make inadvisable In most cases at times like the present,
the canning of such products as hominy, dried beans, potatoes and
similar foods.
Homemade Outfits
Homemade outfits are constructed
of such utensils as wash boilers, tin
palls, milk cans, metal washtubs,
land lard pal!%. Such canners should
have well-fitting covers and false
bottoms of lifting platforms of metal
or wood. The latter are to sup
port jars or cans to prevent direct
contact with heat and also to per
mit a free circulation of water and
steam around and under the con
tainers.
Hot Water BnUi Commercial Outfits
Hot water bath commercial out
fits are constructed usually for out
door work, and have a sterilizing
vat, lifting trays, firebox and smoke
pipe, combined in one piece. They
are light and convenient and are
planned as portable outfits. The
products should be sterilized in sucn
outfits in completely sealed tin cans
or partially sealed glass jars im
mersed in boiling water. The only
advantage of these outfits over the
homemade devices Is that they are
more convenient and have all the
necessary equipment for operation.
Both the homemade and hot-water
commercial canners are classed as
hot-water-bath outfits.
Water Seal Outfits
Water seal outfits consist of a
double bath and cover which pro
jects down into the water between
the outer and inner walls, this mak
ing three tin or galvanized metal
'walls and two inner water jackets
between the sterlizing vat and outer
Steady Work to eB
Given Laborers at
New Penn-Harris Hotel
The Nelson-Lcvrtn Company,
builders of the Penn-Harris Hotel at
Third and Walnut .streets, are now
advertising for labor and the super
intendent stated to-day that steady
employment for some months would
be given all who applied.
Work on the excavation is almost
completed and preparations are now
going forward for the concrete con
struction. Electric lights are being
installed so that the operations can
proceed day and night. A has
been rented from Montgomery & Co.
for the storage of materials and it
is thought the building will be un
der roof within four months. If
these plans work out it will then be
possible to make headway during the
winter months.

srface of the canner. A higher tem
perature may be maintained more
■ uniformly with such an outfit than
. with the hot water bath outfits, since
the free escaep of steam is pre
vented and a slight steam pressure
is maintained. The water seal out
fit may prove more economical of
heat, especially in the canning of
vegetables and meats, where high
temperatures are necessary for com
plete sterilization.
Stoain Pressure Outfits
Steam pressure outfits are made
! to carry from 5 to 30 pounds of
steam pressure, and are equipped
with a steam tight sterilizing, lifting
crate, thermometer or pressure
• gage, safety value, and steam pet
11 cock. The pressure canner may be
! regulated easily so as to maintain
| different temperatures. It is thus
I adaptable for use in sterlizing vari-
I ous vegetables and food products
Aluminum Pressure Cookers
Aluminum pressure cookers are
combination outfits for general cook
ing purposes which are used also for
home canning of fruits, vegetables,
| and meats. They may be used for
canning during the canning season
and as cookers during the entire
year. As a type, these pressure cook
ers are light in construction and eco
nomical of heat. Tliey are made en
tirely of aluminum and will carry as
high as thirty pounds of steam pres
sure. They are equipped with a
steam pressure gage, safety valve
and pet cock, as are steam pressure
outfits.
