SHORT TERM
NOTES FOR NEW
LOAN IS PLAN
House Committee Would Fix
the Terms by Leg
islation
Washington, Fob. 19.—Short term
notes, maturing in from one to five
years, would be offered in the forth
coming victory Liberty Loan cam
. paign, instead of long term notes,
under a tentative agreement reached
by the House Ways and Means Com
mittee to flx the terms of the loan
by legislation rather than to give
Secretary Glass wide discretionary
powers to determine them, as he had
asked. At the same time, Secretary
Glass In a statement explained that
the Intensive popular .campaign
would be conducted as planned, re
gardless of the terms arranged by
Compress and that it would start not
later., than April 21.
Under the tentative agreement of
the committee, reached in executive
•session at which Assistant Secretary
Lefflngwell, or the treasury, was
f present. Secretary Glass would be
given discretion on issuing any one
or several of four kinds of notes to
be prescribed by the legislation. The
quantity of these non—negotiable se
curities would be limited to probab
ly $7,000,000,000, of which the treas
ury now plans to issue only about six
blllio.ns.
The principal features of the four
kinds of notes proposed would be as
follows:
One class would be at a low rate
of Interest, possibly four per cent.,
and exempt from all federal taxation;
one would be at a comparatively
high rate, possibly five per cent., and
subject to federal taxes; a third
would bear a moderate rate of inter
est—4% per cent., was suggested
and be exempt from normal tax lev
ies; the fourth would be exempt from
taxation up to a certain amount.

Mrs. Sproul Sponsor
at Launching of Ship;
Pendant Is Swept Away
By Associated Press
Chester, Feb. 19.—Mrs. William
C. Sproul, wife of the Governor, was
the sponsor yesterday at the launch
ing of the steamship, Burnwell, at

feet long with a beam of 54 feet.
It will be used by the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
In her eagerness to break the
bottle of champagne against the
prow of the tanker Mrs. Sproul got
the chain on her eyeglasses tangled
with the rope, holding the bottle
to the ship's prow and when the
Burnwell left the ways the glasses,
chain and a diamond pendant at
tached were carried out to mid- i
stream with the ship. Those who
watched the mishap expected to see
the chain and glasses drop into the
water, but they hung to the rope and
were finally recovered and return
ed to Mrs. Sproul by employes at the
shipyard. The chain and pendant
are valued at several thousand dol
lars.

A Single Application
Banishes Every Hair
(The Modern Beauty)
Herfe is how any woman can easily
and quickly remove objectionable,
hairy growths without possible In-
Jury to the skin: Make a paste with
some" powdered delatone and water,
apply to hairy surface and after 2
or 3 minutes rub oft, wash the skin
and the hairs are gone. This Is a
painless, inexpensive method, and
excepting where the growth Is un
usually thick, a single application Is
enough. You should, however, be
careful to get genuine delatone.

RAILROAD NEWS
SOME STATION
AGENTS MAY GO
To Reduce Philadelphia Di
vision Office Expenses
$40,000 Monthly
A number of stations of lesser im
portance on the Pennsylvania rail
road line's east of Pittsburgh are ex
pected to be without station agents
soon, under provisions of the re
trenchment orders of the railroads.
This rumor appears to be of general
circulation, but thus far has not re
ceived the confirmation of officials.
Operating expenses must be reduc
ed to the amount of $40,000 in ticket
officers of the division, according to
a bulletin relative to the retrench
ment policy of the Philadelphia di
vision, which has been received at
a number of offices on the division.
The division operating expenses are
to be reduced $300,000 monthly, the
bulletin continues.
Thirty shopmen employed at Enola
are reported to have been laid off
yesterday under provisions of the
retrenchment policy. It is understood
that more are to go.
Fewer Women
The ranks of the female workers
on the Grand Central Division of
the Pennsylvania railroad are slowly
thinning since the armistice was
signed. The December statement
showed a total of 1,201 female em
ployes in all departments, in Janu
ary there were 1,117 and the Febru
ary report shows that the total now
is 1,053.. The number of male em
ployes is correspondingly increasing
on the Central Division. In Decem
ber there was a total of 15,273, in
January a drop to 15,136. while this
month the number mounted to 15,-1
514.
This month the "Williamsport divi
sion lost twenty female employes, as
compared to the number in service
last month, the Renovo division lost
twenty-one. the Sunbury division
five, and the Elmira division nine
teen. The general office gained one
female employe in the past month.
The Williamsport division gamed 561
mate employes this month over Jan
uary, while all the other divisions
lost a few in the totals. The Williams
port division now has 567 males and
320 female employes on its payrolls,
Renovo 5,103 males and 435 females,
Sunbury 2,174 males and 116 females
and Elmira 2,275 males and 162
females.
There are 35 female block tele
phone operators on the Williamsport
division and 44 on the Renovo divi
sion. 'yViliiamsport has 11 female car
cleaners. Renovo 18, Sunbury 2, and
Elmira 4. Williamsport has 7 jani
tresses, Renovo 9 and Sunbury 1.
Release Tliroo-fourth Shopmen
A few hours after a special com
mitte of Hollidaysburg shopmen had
left yesterday morning for Washing
ton to enter a protest against the
practical disruption of the railroad
shop organizations at the county
capital through suspensions. 110 ad
ditional men were laid off in the
car shops at the county capital.
There had been 450 men employed
there before retrenchment began and
with the men laid ofT yesterday, a
total of 340 have now been suspend
ed, leaving but 110, or less than 25
per cent, of the original number. At
the engine house practically all of
the men have been laid off. Many of
those furloughed are among the
company's oldest and best employes
and there is a strong feeling among
them that they have not been fairly
treated. The men are not dismissed
from the company's service, but un
der the conditions existing they have
no idea how long they will he out of
emplovment and the conditions con
fronting them are not reassuring.
Some additional suspensions have
been made in several of the depart
ments of the shops in this city, al
though in no case has any depart
ment here been hit nearly as hard as
has Hollidaysburg.

tells of her new-found energy. "I
suffered from indigestion, gastritis
and a rundown system. Gas
caused a bloated and distressful
feeling around the heart. I had bad
dreams, a poor appetite and an ex
treme lack of energy. I heard about
a case like mine wehre Tanlac had
helped. After using Tanlac *1 soon
began to lose that draggy, all-in
feeling. My energy returned. I
was able to do my work with vim
and snap, and I eat heartily. I find
Tanlac a good thing."
The genuino J. I. ore Co. Tanlac is
now sold here at the Gorgas drug

Insufficient Men, Claim
J Altoona merchants are complaiu
| ing bitterly of conditions that now
exist at the Pennsylvania railroad
freight station, as a result of the
large reduction In the forces there.
They say that there are dozens of
I ears standing on the siding there
| unloaded and that it is almost im
possible to get another from the
| station.
j When they go to see about their
I goods they are met with the excuse,
I they complain, that they were com
j pelled to cut down their forces to
| such an extent that they cannot
I handle the freight and as a result
i they are far behind with their work
and the cars are steadily accumu
lating.
The furlopghing of the clerical
and working forces-about the freight
station occurred about ten days ago
and the company cut deeply into the
forces. At the time it was felt it
would be impossible to handle the
work, but those who remained kept
at the task, but soon fell behind.
It was stated to-day that the mer
chants will join hands with the men
who have been laid off in entering
a vigorous protest against the condi
tions that are now prevailing in the
hope that the force will bo augment
ed to a point where it will be pos
sible to continue to do businessr

York Haven Lady Obtained
Relief at Once Through
the Merits of Tonall.
"I had suffered for years with a
disordered stomach and Jiidney ail
ments," says Mrs. Frank Oopp, of
York Haven, York county, Pa., R.
D. 1. "I was a miserable wreck
before taking Tonall, I could not
sleep, nor had I any desire for food.
I was losing weight and was so very
nervous and my back would ache
so badly at times I would nearly
go frantic. Gas would form in my
stomach after eating the least par
ticle of food, so that I was almost
afraid to eat anything. I had tried
a great many remedies in order to
but without avail.
I read so much about Tonall I
thought I would try it as a last re
sort and I surely am glad I did as
I now have a good appetite, sleep
soundly and enjoy my rest. I have
gained in weight and my mervous
ness is fast disappearing and I feel
like a different person in every
respect."
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug
i Store, Harrlsburg, and all leading
drug stores in Eastern Pennsyl-,
vania.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity!
3Y DOCTOR CRIPFS.
It has always seemed to me that
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., should
be placed near the top when a list
of America's great benefactors is
written. lie studied and conquered
human diseases to a degree that few
realize. Whenever he found a rem
edy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspa
pers and told where it could be
bought at a small price. He did
not follow the usual custom of
keeping the ingredients secret, so
that the rich only could afford to
j buy the medicine; but openly
| printed the name of each root and
! herb he used. And so today the
names of Dr. Pierce and his medi
cines are widely known, and they
stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physician's most
successful remedies is known as
doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
These are little, sugar-coated pills,
composed of Mayapple, leaves of
aloe, root of jalap—things that
Nature grows in the ground. These
Pellets are safe because they move
the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after-effects, as so many pills do.
Very often they make a person who
I takes them feel like a new man or
I woman, for they cleanse the intes
tines of hard, decayed and poi-
I sonous matter that accumulates
when one Is costive. If you are
constipated, by all means go to your
druggist and get some of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove
to bo the very thing your system
[ requires to make you well and
happy.
