"I had a sort of eczema all overi my face and body and it itched so that it almost drove me crazy and 11 couldn't find anything that gave me •. the slightest relief. "Doctors told me that it was I caused by the oils from the machin- ] ery as I was working as a machinist j in the P. R. R. shops, so I quit my : job and got another on a street car, 1 but the itching didn't get any better: and I was almost insane from the '■ torture. "Then one day I decided I'd take a crack at Tanlac. "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 eczema gone entirely." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas' drugstore. THE GLOBE There'* a thrill in "My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty," every true American feels.

"The Nation plans to save a hun dred thousand lives of children un der five years of age. This means the saving of nearly ten thousand in Pennsylvania alone. We must leave no stone unturnedt to do our part and by planning and carrying out a state-wide "Clean-up Week" the first great forward step may be taken. "The common fly Is the greatest menace to Infant life, dangerous be cause born in filth, living in filth, and emerging from filth to contam inate food supplies. During "Clean up Week" all collections of garbage, rubbish, ashes, and unsightly things should be removed, all accumula ions of stable manure should be removed from populous centers and plowed under. A plan may readily be followed for removing all stable manure to farmsteads and plowing it tinder, without becoming the usual fly breeding menace to the lives and health of Pennsylvania's babies. Stagnant water, cess pools, garbage cans, badly supervised dumps and vacant lots are common breeding places of mosquitoes. Clean them up now before breeding Is well start ed."
