Insists That Frail,
Nervous Women Can
Speedily Become
Strong and Vigorous
A Vigorous Healthy Body,
Sparkling Eyes and Health-
Colored Cheeks Come in Two
Weeks, Says Discoverer of
Bio-feren.
World's Grandest Health
Builder Costs Nothing
Unless It Gives to
Women the Buoyant
Health They Long for.
It Is safe to say that right here in
this big city are tens of thousands of
•weak, nervous, run-down, depressed
■women who in two weeks' time could
make themselves so healthy, so attrac
tive and so keen-minded that they
would compel the admiration of all
their friends.
The vital health building elements
that these despondent women lack are
*ll plentifully supplied in Bio-feren.
rt you are ambitious, crave success
In life, want to have a healthy, vigor
ous body, clear skin and eyes that
show no dullness, make up your mind
to get a package of Bio-feren right
away.
It costs but little and you can get
original package at any druggist
anywhere.
Take two tablets after each meal
and one at bedtime—seven a day for
seven days—then one after meals till
all are gone. Then if you don't feel
twice as good, look twice as attractive
and feel twice as strong as before you
started, your money is waiting for you.
It belongs to you, for the discoverer
of Bio-feren doesn't want one penny
of it unless it fulfills all claims.
Note to Physicians! There Is no
secret about the formula of Bio-feren,
it is printed on every package. Here
it Is: Lecithin; Calcium Glycerophos
phate; Iron Peptonate; Manganese
Peptonate; Ext. Nux Vomica: Powd.
Gentian; Phenalphthalein; Oleoresln
Capsicum; Kolo.

TO TAKE WIRES
Resolution Hurried Through
During Five-Hour
Bitter Fight
Washington, July 6.—The resolu
tion giving President Wilson the
power to take over the • telephone, |
cable and radio facilities of the na- j
tion was jammed through the House
of Representatives during a Ave
hours' tight last evening and while
the members of both branches of I
Congress were trying to bring at>out
an agreement for a recess.
The vote on the resolution was 221
to 4, but before it was finally passed
the measure was changed at length,
every amendment being the result of
a compromise hurriedly reached in
an effort to stifle the debate.
Four Vote Agaln*t •
The four members who voted
against giving the President the pow
er he asked were Representatives Jo
seph W. Fordney, of Michigan; James
C. McLaughlin, of Michigan: John A. I
Sterling, of Illinois, and Frank P.
Woods, of lowa, all of whom are Re
publicans.
The amended resolution will come
up in the Senate to-day. In the
shape in which it finally passed the
House it gives the President the pow
er he asks, provides that when the
wires are taken over the companies
shall be compensated up to seventy
five per cent, of the appraised values
of their plants while the compensa
tion is under adjudication in the
courts and provides that state taxa
tion and regulation of the lines shall
continue to be In force.

i hate over the resolution the Demo
j cratlc members fought shy of aliud-
I ing to the strike of the Western Tin- !
' ion operators, which has been called
I for next Monday. It was only after
j he had been pinned down by the Re-
I publican floor leaders that Represent
: ative Sims, of Tennessee, chairman of
the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce and in charge
of the bill, admitted that his pur
pose in urging the immediate passage

BASS FISHING IS
HIT BY WEATHER
Stream Conditions Interfered
With Good Catches on
Start of Season
"Weather conditions Interfered to
a certain extent in the opening of the
new bass season, the first under the
Pennsylvania fish code of 1917, but
some good catches of the gamy fish
were reported, especially from the
streams which had been stocked by
the State Game Commission in the
last two years. Owing to the storms
the waters in the Susquehanna and
some of the western streams were
not satisfactory for good bass fish
ing, but the end of the week finds
them getting back to normal and
the fish inclined to bite.
The new limits on the bass are
not expected to cause much trouble
as the state fish wardens received
instructions in regard to enforce
ment of the trout limits and it is
not anticipated there will have
to be much recourse to law. The
strict manner in which the trout
law was enforced by the game pro
tectors, state police and forest rang
ers acting in cooperation with the
fish wardens has had a good effect
ail over the state and their activity
in arresting bass fishermen who
went out before July 1 brought down
illegal fishers who received scant
sympathy.
"We are going to get some data
on the trout season, which seems to
have, been good generally and to
have been productive of good sport
in districts where we have been
planting trout. The catch of brook
and brown trout was fine in
counties" saH Commissioner of Fish
eries Nathan R. Buller. "The bass
season was hit by unseasonable
weather at the start, but I have no
fears about it. I think it will be
good and the new season will work
out well. All we ask is adherence
|to the length and catch limits. If
I the fishermen will help us we will
|be able to do qflll more for them.
! The illegal fishers and dynamite
i should be reported promptly. We
I wih do our best to make examples
of them."

DICKINSON TO BE
TRAINING CENTER
Proposition to Establish Mili
tary Instruction For Students
and School For Officers
Carlisle, Pa., July 6. —Dickinson
College may become a big center for
military training under the plans of
the school authorities, according to
announcement of tentative plans jus;
made. Military training will be com
pulbory and in addition a proposal
has been submitted to the War De
partment to make this a training
center tor reserve officers.
In addition to the military train
ing, which will be for all students
over 18 years, an application has
been put in w4th the War Depart
ment to have the local school a place
to instruct officers. With Biddle field
as a drill ground and the large arid
well equipped buildings of the col
lege plant it is believed that the ap
plication will meet with considerable
favor.
A few days ago an officer of the
medical service was here to Inspect
Conway Hall which has been offered
as a hospital for wounded and con
valescent soldiers.
