Crushed By Falling Tree
Doctors Declared Case Hopeless
Mental and Physical Wreck
CARXKGIE, Pa. "The early part of
last winter 1 was caught under a fall
ing tree and as as a result suffered from
concussion of tho brain. My sufferings
were so intense that at times I almost
went mad. My nervous system was
so completely shattered that I became
a complete mental and physical wreck.
"I consulted several physicians,
none of whom could give me any re
lief. I had about given up hope when
one of the lumbermen from the camp
came to visit mp and advised that I
try DR. PHASE'S BLOOD AND
NERVE TABLETS. After taking them
for a few days I immediately felt some
relief and thus continued the use of
these tablets.
"I have regained my lost weight and
feel well in every respect. I can cheer
fully and conscientiously recommend
these Tablets to anyone suffering
from nervous prostration or a weak
and nervous condition of the system."
Signed D. O. BOONE

About
TAN'LAC RELIEVED lIER
"I can't begin to tell you how I
suffered with my feet and limbs,"
says Mrs. Velma Gray, of North Sev
enth street. Harrlsburg, Pa. "They
troubled constantly and crippled mo
so that I was often unable even to
walk about the house.
"It was awful. My feet would burn
like flre all the time and nothing I
coujd do would give mo any re
lief. although I tried everything I
could think of.
"Then suddenly they would begin
to swell and they would puff up until
there was a great ridge at the top of
my shoes and I would have agoniz
ing pains in both feet and limbs.
"Finally I made up my mind to
try Tan lac as a last resort and to
tny delight it began to help me right
•tway. Now the swelling and pain
has all gone away and I can walk all
-lay without suffering.
"It is certainly a wonderful re
lief and I cannot find words to ex
oress my gratitude to Tanlac and
I want to spread the news of my
relief so that others may benefit."

tonic, is now being introduced here

PHYSICAL COURSE
IS MUCH FAVORED
Training in All Schools to Be '
Urged by Com
mittee
be made before
V\W the ent * of the
\X\Y\ j\ fry year to the State
J Board of Educa
tlon "'^commend-1
lng that courses
I WBWSfefW'iSw cation be estab
-1 "shed in every
school in Penn-
HP|*JS3RBer sylvania, although
l—l~u inquiries made
by a committee named to investi
gate the matter has shown that there
has been a notable increase in the
number of schools where such
training is now a part of the rout
ine. Ten. years ago physical train
ing was not given much attention
and it has only been within the last
few years that it has been taken up.
The plan being worked out is to
have an 'advanced course for the
high schools in which the physical
upbuilding of the students is to be
made as much a part of the course
as arithmetic. The next will be
recommended for the grade schools
with another for the little folks.
Investigation has found that in
many schools the pupils are taught
marching and in high schools the
simple foot movements are taught.
To Give Hearings. Arrange
ments are being made for a series
of conferences to be held at Pitts
burgh, Scranton, Philadelphia,
Sharon and other places between
representatives of the State Public
Service Commission and water com
panies on the proposed uniform
classification of accounts for water
companies. The draft of the clas
sification is now in the hands of
men interested in water compSny
management for criticisms and they
will be discussed at first hand. A
number of suggestions have already
been filed with Coleman J. Joyce,
chief of the bureau of accounts, who
I made the draft. The system is to
j take efTect January 1, 1918.
Older Men in Eieldsj—Most of the
i labor that is now depended upon
; on the farms of Pennsylvania is fur
nished by men above fifty years of
I age, according to a survey made of
i farm labor by men connected with
the State Department of Agriculture.
This is attributed to the demand of
industry and military service upon
the younger men and in some sec
tions men who have gone from cities
have taken up work on farms. Wo
men an<J_ girls are not uncommon
sights in the fields. According to
statements made at draft board
meetings the farm labor supply in
the state is only a fourth of what
it is in normal times.
Use All Apples.—The State De
partment of Agriculture is urging
that every apple be turned to use
this fall. Attention is called to the
fact that there is an unusual de
mand and that the state crop will
be about 12,000,000 bushels instead
of 18,000,0000 as was the case last
year and also to the decline in the
crop estimates from New York and
Canada. In a bulletin on apples the
department says, "The department
urges that not one of the humble
windfalls should fail to be turned
into the jelly pot or the apple
butter jar." Pleas are also made for
storage of cabbage because of a
shortage In the crop and for con
servation of potatoes as serious
damage from late blight and rot is
reported.
Appointed Delegates. Governor
Brumbaugh has announced the ap
pointments of Dr. Alfred H. Stengel,
Philadelphia; Dr. Charles H. Miner,
Wilkes-Barre, and D. W. G. Turn

conference at Baltimore.

The "Slag Case." —The action to
ward an appeal from the decision in
the Superior Court of Pennsylva
nia reversing the Public Service
Commission In the "slag rate" case
has been taken and It may not he.
The court sent the case back to the
commission for further action in ac
cordance with the ruling of the
court. The National Tube Company
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
were parties to the nction and the
commission ordered the railroad to
file a new tariff. The result of the
decision is that the railroads and the
companies having slag can make
their own arrangements for removal.
For years the railroads got the slag
for filling for the hauling. Carriers
can not be compelled to accept slag
if they do not. need it.

baugh to get busy in July and which
