BANISH CATARRH
Breathe Hyomel for Two Minnie*
nml Believe StulTeil Ip Head
If you want to get relief from ca
tarrh, cold in the head or from an Ir
ritating cough in the shortest time
breathe Hyomei.
It should clean out your head in
two minutes und allow you to breathe
freely.
Hyomei often ends a cold in one i
day, it will relieve you of disgust
ing snuffles, hawking, spitting and
offensive breath in a week.
Hyomei is made chiefly from a
soothing, healing, antiseptic. that
comes from the eucalyptus forests of
inland Australia where catarrh, as
thma and consumption were never
known to exist.
Hyomei is pleasant and easy to
breathe. Just pour a few drops into
the hard rubber Inhaler, use us direct
ed and relief is almost certain.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including
inhaler and one bottle of Hyomei,
costs but little at druggists every
where and at H. C. Kennedy. If you
already own an inhaler you can get
an extra bottle of Hyomei at drug
gists.

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
FORESTRY NEED
NOW OUTLINED
State Losing Valuable Returns
From Lands; School
Officials Criticised
Pennsylvania is declared to be
using: valuable returns from its for
est lands and not to be providing the
protection needed for its woods under
State ownership, while school author
ities are bluntly stated to be doing
nothing to help along one of the
sources of revenue of the State
School Fund by I. C. Williams, deputy
commissioner of forestry and one of
the students of woo<} and water con
ditions in the State.
"Could nil dead, dying and blighted
chestnut now upon the State forests
be marketed speedily from this
source alone could be returned a net
return of about *1.500,000," declared
Mr. Williams, In a statement pre
pared for the State Board of Agricul
ture. He charges that while the
State forests have yielded $172,099.66
for the State's permanent school fund
and are getting to the point where
they turn in about $2,000 moathly,
"The school people aro doing little
or nothing to help the cause of for
estry." He says "they take our money
and seem glad to get it, but give lit
tle help and no encouragement In re
turn."
The statement says that the State
forests aggregate 1,032,233 acres in
fifty-three forests located in twenty
seven counties. They represent an
investment of $2,350,033 or $2.27 per
acre. In 1918 13,439 acres were added
by purchase and 3.200 acres bojight
in Jefferson county for the Ohio
Watershed reserves which will be
an object of importance the next few
years.
"These forests are bound to become
| a storehouse of wealth for Pennsyl
i vania. What need is protection
! and development and when both
! have been fully attained, the returns
from the State forests will speak
for themselves. Forest planting has
outstripped protection. The means
for protection havfe never been furn
ished as needed."

"PEOPLE DESERVE TO
KNOW," SHE STATES
"I can now walk miles without I
feeling the least bit tired and house
work is a joy," exclaimed Mrs. M.
E. Smith, 35 South Sickel street,
Philadelphia. "Until I took the ad
vice of the lady next door and tried
Tanlac, however. I was declining in
health. Any little exertion com
pletely did me up. My strength was
giving out fastly. Although I ate
fairly well my food failed to give
me any nourishment.
"Well, such a change after taking
Tanlac. I immediately began to
pick up in weight and strength and
folks say I am looking considerably
better. I know I am 100 per cent,
improved. Tanlac is surely a great
tonic, and I believe people deserve!
to know just how good it really is." (
The genuine Tanlac, which bears
the name J. I. Gore Co. on outside:
carton, is now sold here by George
A. Gorgas, George's Drug Store,
C. F. Kramer, W. F. Stevens and;
other leading druggists. Tanlac, the
celebrated vegetable tonic, stom-,
achic and health builder, is also sold
in neighboring cities and towns. Ask

AMENDMENT TO
BE PUSHED ALONG
Law and Order Committee
Will Act Upon It Tomor
row Afternoon
The prohibition amendment will be
considered by the House Law and
Order conujiittee to-morrow after
noon. It will be referred to the com
mittee to-night when the House
meets.
Among legislators there seertis to
be little doubt but that it will be
ratified by Pennsylvania. It is ex
pected that the resolution calling for
ratification will be reported favor
ably by the House Law and Order
committee Wednesday morning and
the measure be made the special
order of business for a week from
to-morrow ntQrning. There is some
talk of the liquorites abandoning the
tight on the measure.
The Schantz "month by month"
liquor license bill may be passed
without much opposition from the
dry leaders. It calls for the payment
of a monthly license fee instead of
an annual fee. The necessity for this
legislation on the part of the liquor
forces is said to be the stopping of
all liquor selling on July 1. pending
the signing of peace and the demob
ilization of the army. The liquor
dealers do not want to have to pay
for a year's license when they may
only be permitted to remain open a
few months after license court makes
its decisions on liquor applicants.
The bill may be fought by some
1 ittsburgh "dry" men but there is a
feeling here now among the "drvs"
in general that they will not force
an issue but permit the Legislature
to vote as it pleases on the matter.
The "dry" members are going to
take an interest in general legisla
tion and help to pass meritorious
legislation. John W. Vickerman is
their House floor leader, and will
direct their activities. They antici
pate taking a greater interest in local
election and affairs, as they realize
that with the passing of liquor that
political organizations in the large
cities or where liquor has been ac
tive, will be greatly weakened. They
look for and say they want to help
bring about a new order of things in
the political world. They positively
claim that new political leaders wiil
develop in many cities.

M'CAIG READY TO
COMMENCE WORK
The Appropriation Chairman
Names Albert B. Smith as
Secretary For Session
"We are getting ready to start
business right away and to push
things right along. We will take
up the deficiency bill to-morrow and
I intend to have some interviews
with the heads of departments who
are asking for appropriations and
we will do our best to get the bill
started out early and complete,"
said Chairman William J. McCraig,
of the House appropriation commit
tee.
Mr. McCraig said that Albert B.
Smith, of Steelton, secretary of the
committee for several sessions,
would be secretary again. "He is a
very valuable man." said he.
Bills .for the reorganization of the
State Department of Banking to
make the department self-sustaining
and to not only enlarge the author
ity of the commissioner, but to give
him a salary commensurate with the
importance of the department and
an adequate force: providing for the
sale of bread by weight und for
some changes in the Department of
Agriculture urged by agricultural
interests, are due to be presented in
the Legislature this week. Jt is
probable that the bread bill, which
received considerable attention last
session, together with the proposed
measures to provide for all sales of
commodities by weight instead of
measure or count will be discussed
iwith Governor William C. Sproul.
They have been urged by the state's
inspctors of weights and measures.
The banking bills will come from
the State Commission to codify the
banking laws.
The next gour weeks are expected
to be largely taken up by the in
troduction of bills, upon which
state experts and lawyers are work
ing. Dozens have been sent to the
Attorney General's office to he ex
amined as to legal form.
A proposition affecting the priv
ileges of the members of the House
is likely to arise because of the fact
that some members, notably R. A.
Ringlet - , of Reading, have railroad
positions which they have had to
give up during their legislative serv
ice. In the present state of mind of
the legislators because of the fed
eral handling of railroads and wires
something may be heard.

Under the plan under consideration
at the Capitol there would be a gen

some sections of whom would be men I
specially qualified such as foresters.
In addition the Stute Police depart
ment could be made of service to the
counties, especially the smaller ones
by keeping records of criminals und
providing information which could
be of service when a man goes from
one section of the State to another.
It has been pointed out that there Is
really little police authority except
the police of a large borough or city,
some county detectives and the State
Tollce. Very few counties have any
thing like the records that police of
a city keep.
Under the police plan It would be
possible. It Is pointed out by advo
cates of the consolidation for the
whole of the revenue from hunters'
licenses to be employed for game
preservation and propagation and
bounties after deducting administra
tive expenses. This would enable
the speedy establishment of more
game preserves and the undertaking
of stocking of these places with
game on a very extensive scale.
Pennsylvania would have probably
more money available for such* work
than any other State.
