"Then one day I decided I'd take a crack at Tanlac and see what that ■would do for I'd heard a lot of won derful reports about it and I sort of had a bunch. "Well, sir, believe me it did the work. The second dose brought re lief and it was only a matter of days until my skin was all healed up, the itching stopped and the ec zema gone entirely. "No other medicine could aver give me relief from the itching but Tanlac quickly freed me from the whole trouble. I can't begin to praise it strong enough." Tanlac is now being introduced at Uorgas' Drug Store. WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN A WEAK BODY Wheni you're fifty, your body begins to creak a little at the hinges. Motion is more slow and deliberate. "Not so young as I used to be" is a frequent and unwelcome thought. Certain bodily functions upon which good liealth and good spirits so much de pend, are impaired. The weak spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant .symptoms show themselves. Painful and annoying complications in other organs arise. This is particularly true with elderly people. If you only know how, this trouble can be obvi ated. For over 200 years GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil has been relieving the in convenience and pain due to advanc ing years.

The big feature of the elections was the first exercise of franchise by women in New York state. They (polled ninety-one per cent, of their registered vote, which is an extra ordinary thing in a by-election. It was significant that they cast 31,858 votes out of a total of "8,192 in the four districts. They voted t early, seemed to have made up their minds what they were going to do before they received their ballots and they asked few "foolish questions." The women, It was contended by the Republican leaders later, seemed to have voted for the Democratic B candidates on the ground that by so doing they would better uphold the hands of the President. This plea * also affected many men. l It was not an uncommon sight as . the day wore on to see a woman 5 with a net market-bag over her aj-m 5 go Jnto a polling place, or to see one I wheeling a baby carriage up to 4 ; barber shop or plumber's office, , where the election board was meet ing, park the carriage and baby in , front and walk In to cast her ballot . with the others. But the women workers at the polls attracted little attention. Ther* I were usually two at aach voting place, one commissioned a watcher by the .Democratic forces and one by r j the Republican. The Representatives elected are as follows: 1 Seventh District —John J. Delaney, (•! to succeed John J. Petzgerald, elect | ed by a plurality of 3,166 over John i S. Gaynor, Republican.

WHEAT HARD HIT BY THE WEATHER Reports Coming Here Indi cate That Much Damage Has Been Done to Grain Reports coming to the State De partment of Agriculture on the con dition of -winter wheat and rye are declared by the bulletin of the de partment to be "varying" and in some localities it is stated that con ditions "art< anything but favorable" due to the wet autumn, farm work delays and late planting. "Many farmers are now reporting wheat at about sixty per cent, of the normal condition at this time and in some instances farmers state that the condition is poorer than they have ever known," says the bulletin discussing reports on the two ce reals. Secretary of Agriculture Patton makes *\ call in the bulletin upon all local draft boards which-granted de ferred classification to young men who asked it because of agricultural pursuits, to see that the men who went into industrial or mining work during the winter either go back to the farms or are given another clas sification. The secretary urges that men who have been given deferred classification because of agriculture get back to the farms as soon as the farming season opens. Secretary Patton says: "The farm tabor situation is serious and all available taelp must be given the farmer if Pennsylvania is to produce its maximum ceop of corn, oats, buckwheat, wheat, rye and vege tables. The state will try to assist the farmer in every way possible and has arranged to place forty tractors in different sections to help prepare the land for the season's crops. Many agricultural claims for deferred classification have been allowed the young men of draft age, but during the winter they have drifted to the cities or to work other than agricul ture. It is only just to the thousands of other young men of the state who j have been called to the colors, that those allowed agricultural deferment should get back to the farms at once, and perform the farm work which gave them the deferred clas sification. "I think that it should be the duty of every district draft board to go over the agricultural claims allowed, and unless all young men effected are found actively engaged in farm ing by April 15, then their status should be changed, and they should be reclassified, placed in Class I and inducted into military service. "Let us give every aid possible to i the production of bumper corn crops this summer and the preparation of a record wheat acreage next fall." MRS. PRISCILLA LIKENS DIES Duncannon, Pa..

Page.] relieved the patient, but heart fail ure intervened Tuesday night. The physicians attending Mr. Red mond issued the following announce ment: "We regret to announce that John Redmond died at 7.45 this morning. Owing to several serious attacks of illness severe operation was faced with great courage. It had become imperatively necessary owing to an intestinal, obstruction. This was re lieved by the operation and for some days satisfactory prosress was main tained. After a fairly comfortable day Tuesday, heart failure superven ed during the night and after a few hours, Mr. Redmond passed peace fully away." Fonglit For Home Rule For more than twenty-five years John E. Redmond fought for Home Rule in Ireland and for a majority of that time he was the recognized leader of Ireland's "struggle for lib erty." As chairman of the Irish Parliamentary party—the National ists—he exerted a powerful influence in bringing about the creation of the Irish convention organized in July, 1917, to devise a system of govern ment for the island. When David Lloyd George, the British premier, in that year offered two methods of settling the vexed Irish question, it was Redmond, who as spokesman for the Nationalists, rejected the proposition for a parti tion of Ireland and instead, accepted Lloyd George's alternative plan for the convocation of the Irish conven tion in which Irishmen of nearly all parties and creeds might meet in the effort to compose their differences and draft a constitution that would afford justice to all. . Hedmond was one of the delegates to the convention which sat at var- I ious times at Dublin, Belfast and (Cork in 1917 and 1918. In Commons Since 1881 Born in 1851, son of W. A. Red- I mond, deceased, member of the British Parliament from Wexford, I Ireland, John K. Redmond had sat ' almost continuously in the British House of Commons since 1881. There his parliament fights for Homo Rule earned for him the sobriquet of the "stormy petrel of the House." Educated in Clongowes Woods College, Kildare, and Trinity College, Dublin, Redmond was called to the London bar in 1886, and the Irish bar the following year, but he never practiced law. He devoted himself almost wholly to his parliamentary and political duties. Redmond's eloquence and his grasp of parliamentary procedure won his early recognition in Parlia ment and when in 1891 the Irish party was disrupted, consequent on the Parnell scandals, he became the atcredited leader of the Parnellites. In 1900 he succeeded In bringing about an amalgamation of the two leading Nationalist parties and made his position as Nationalist leader se cure. Well-Known in U. S. Redmond was well-known in the United States, which he visited in 1908 nd 1910, and Australia, where in 1883 he not only performed a great service for his party in direct ing the collection of a fund of more than $50,000, but found a wife in the person of Johanna Dalton, New South Wales heiress and beauty. The Irish leader's first visit to this country proved a fiasco, but his sec ond, made for the purpose ostensibly of attending the convention of the United States Irish League, at Buffa lo. met with great success. Following his attendance at the convention, Redmond made a tour of all the principal cities of the middle west and the Atlantic coast, delivering a series of addresses on the Irish question which were later held re sponsible for the British Cabinet crisis of November, 1910. The speeches brought the Home Rule question to a head. The British government took serious hold of the problem and a bill was evolved, which on presentation and discus sion in the House of Commons result ed in an impasse because of the Ulster opposition. This was shortly before the outbreak of the great war. Accused of Being Traitor With the entrance of England into the war, Redmond immediately de fined his position as squarely with the government in the earnest prose cution of the war. His support of the government won the unstinted praise of Cardinal Gibbons and the open and bitter condemnation of the Sinn Fein party, members of .which at a public meeting accused him of being a traitor to the Irish cause. 1-Ie maintained his loyal position even during the exciting days of the Sinn Fein revolution, decrying the rebellion, but attributing it to a Ger man plotting in the United States. When the rebellion had been put down he used all the eloquence of which he was capable ift pleading for leniency toward the great mass of the rebels, and in urging a speedy settlement of the differences that had caused the revolt. His eloquent.address in the House of Commons on October 18, 1916, demanding immediate Home Rule and the release of the Irish revolu tionist called forth an answer from Premier Lloyd George, in which the premier addmitted that mistakes had been made in handling the Irish sit uation and urging all parties to unite in bringing about a solution. John E. Redmond was a brother of Major William H. K. Redmond, who was killed while fighting under the British flag in Franco in 1917. Major Redmond was a member of Parliament for East Clare.
