Yesterday Mr. Mackey received Mr. Darrow's answer, inclosing the letter received from the office of the Ad jutant General in answer to the query. Mr. Mackcy's letter and that from the Adjutant Generals office to Mr. Darrow read: December 19, 1918. Hon. George P. Darrow, Congressman, Washington, D. C. My dear Congressman. I have your letter of the 18th inst., Inclosing the letter from the ad jutant general In answer to my In quiry regarding Private Ijdward D. Gorman. It seems to me that the information that this department has given you upon this case Justifies all the charges that have been made in the newspapers about the Incompetency of its service. The latest official in formation that this department can now give you ab<?ut this soldier Is of July 4, 1918, when the fAmily has trncod him as late as September, 1918. You are referred by the War De partment to the American Red Cross, If you are ambitious, crave suc cess In life, want to have a healthy, vigorous body, clear skin and eyes that show no dullness, make up your mind to get a package of Blo fercn right Away. It costs but Uttle and you can get an 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 twlco as strong as before you started your money Is waiting for you. It belongs to you, for the discoverer of Rlo-feren doesn't want one penny of It unless it fulfills all claims.

BOCHE OFFICIALS STRIKE FOR SOLF By Associated Press Amsterdam, Dec. 20. —All the landing officials of the Gorman foreign office are on strike us the result of the Government's ac ceptance of the resignation of Dr. Solf as foreign minister, accord ing to the Rhenish Westphulan Guzette. None of the officials has ap peared for duty In several days. In their absence the routine work of tho foreign office Is piling up and there Is nobody to look after It. n volunteer institution. My question Is, If the American Red Cross, through Its bureau of communica tion, has any Information concern ing this young man, why hasn't the War Department? The War Depart ment has the first responsibility to ward our soldiers, nnd tho parents of the enlisted men are looking to the War Department for Information, and not to the American Red Cross. It seems to me that the answer from the adjutant general to you should be exploited In every paper in the country. If there Is any efficiency in the adjutant general's office, and if there Ib nny humanity in the whole department, let them show it by fol lowing up the details of this case and give the family later Information than July 4 last. I remain, Very sincerely yours, HARRY A. MACKEY. December 16, 1918. Hon. George P. Darrow, House of Representatives. My dear Mr. Darrow: I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of December 10 and to advise that the latest report received at this office shows Private Edward D. Gorman, Headquarters Company, Ninth Infantry, on July 4, 1918, a pa tient in the hospital, slightly wound ed 1 . For further information concern ing his condition, his family should write to Bureau of Communications, American Red Cross, Washington, D. C. Respectfully, J. T. KERR, Adjutant General, in charge of office.

I bought my wife a bottle of this wonderful medicine and It gave her relief from the very tlrst doses. She Improved steadily and It wasn't long until she found herself enjoying her meals and sleeping well and long. 'We both feel now that she Is per manently cured and we have been giving Tanlac to our young son and he Is rapidly becoming well and strong, so that, thanks to Tarilac, health and harmony have been re stored to our home."
