FRIDAY EVENING,
whereabouts could not be found late"
than July 4, although the family
knew where he was as late as Sep
tember.
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.
Note to Physicians: There Is no
secret about the formula of 810-leren,
It is printed on every package. Here
It is: Lecithin; Calcium Glycero
phosphate; Iron Peptonate: Mang-f
anese Peptonate; Ext. Nux Vomica;'
Powd. Bentian; Phenolphthaleln;
Olearesin Capsicum; Kolo.
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.

it seeried as though her diaphragm
was compressed by the distention of
her stomach.
'We had tried many remedies
without satisfactory results and we
had about given up hope when I
read in the paper where Tanlac had
brought relief in a similar case. 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."
Tanlac is now being Introduced
