MRS. GREEN NOTES
HUSBAND'S CHANGE
Mrs. Mary Green, 1355 Hutchin
son street, Philadelphia, whose hus
band is a machinist, says she can
see the big change in her husband's
<-ondition since he started taking
Tanlac. "He suffered from stomach
trouble. His symptoms were short
ness of breath and belching of gas
with heartburn and water brash.
He had no appetite and slept badly.
Some nights he had hardly any
sleep. The gas would seem to sur
round his heart and P was difficult
for him to breathe. A friend told
him about Tanlac. Now his appe
tite for food has returned and he
is a good deal better and sleeps
restfully."

PRINTING BILL
NOWABOUT READY
Important Measure Prepared
by Superintendent Miller to
Be Presented Soon
The new State printing bill, which
has been in course of preparation
for the last two weeks and which
is designed to straighten out the
kinks in the Commonwealth's offi
cial printing and to increase the au
thority of the Superintendent as well
as make a number of definitions
which have long been needed will
make its appearance in the legisla
ture this week. Superintendent of
Public Printing It. W. Miller luisj
been at work on the bill, having
found after lie assumed office that
there were places where if efficiency
was to be obtained and a schedule
that would be understandable be
provided, a new law would be
needed.
The new bill reorganizing the
Department of Public Grounds and
Buildings, which will provide for ar- |
chitects and superintendence to han- |
die the Capitol Park and other op
erations, is also expected to be ready
this week.
These will be among the last of
the administration measures.
Senator Frank A. Smith expects
to get prompt action on his tax re
ceiver bil'i. Ills other bills are now
well on the way, the city-county of
fice buliding measure, joint con
tagious disease hospital and other
bills having attracted considerable
attention.
The usual rush of new bills is ex
pected to-night when the two Houses
meet. P.oth have extensive calen
dars and prospects are for a strenu
ous week because of the Philadel
phia situation, the numerous hear
ings and the return of the Governor
who will indicate his desires on some
legislation.
Owing to the hearing scheduled
; for Tuesday on the Philadelphia
charter revision bills and the return
o? United States Senator Boies Pen- l
rose to this city to urge the passage,
of Philadelphia legislation, these bills
will be the center of interest. The I
heeling is to be held by the Senate]
committee on municipal affairs. The
Philadelphia district attorney bills
which attracted much attention last
week wi.' l probably pass the Senate
before adjournment for the week.
The conservation departmept bill
also comes up for hearing before a
Senate committee and a hearing
will be held by the Senate commit- i
tee on 1 ealth and sanitation Tues
] day en the narcotic control bill. The
; same day the House judiciary gen
eral committee will give a hearing
on the anti-sedition bill. Several
other 1 tarings will be held and there
is much interest in the meeting of
the Daw and Order Committee of
the House for Tuesday when it is
planned to act on all bills in custody
of the committee.
The Senate calendar contains the
Department of Agriculture bill,
amended in the House, and which
will be sent to the Governor this*
week. The bulk of the Senate cal
endar is third reading and contains
election bills, State Athletic Com
mission bill, Philadelphia district at
torney bills; State sinking fund bill,
fresh egg bill and National Guard
retirement act. The bill reorganiz
ing the banking department is on
second reading with several changes
i made to it.
The "Woodruff teachers' salary

second reading in the Hpuse at
9:30 p. m. Monday night, with the
State Art Commission, fishermen's li

j bills on the final passage postponed
i stage. The State police bill is , also
!on the postponed list. On the third
reading calendar are the bills pro
viding salaries instead of fees for
county treasurers in counties having
less than 150,000 population. "Blue
Sky" bill; measure dividing counties
of the State into eight classes and
Scott military training bill. There
is a big second reading calendar
headed by the Brady bills, the Daw
son bill extending terms of third
class city councilmen. Sterling bill

boards of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh, establishing Frances Willacd

and measure establishing the Topo

reau in the Department of Internal
Affairs.
Every county in Pennsylvania will
| be affected if the Willert House bill
providing that county engineers shall
be named by county commissioners
goes through the Legislature in its
present form. Originally, the bill
was aimed to change the system in
counties having less than 150,000
population, where engineers are now
elected, so that these officers shall
be chosen by the commissioners. It
was intended to meet conditions in
Erie and several other counties. The
bill was amended in the Senate ju
diciary general committee to in
clude alt counties. In most of the
l counties engineers are chosen under
special acts, all of which would be
affected by the measure.
The coming week is going to be an
interesting one in the line of new
legislation if the activity at the Leg
islative Reference Bureau is any in
dication. A number of rough drafts
of bills have come here the last few
days to be put into shape for intro
duction and many inquiries indicate
that more bills are coming. The
House now has 1,400 on its list.
Discussion of a date for stopping
introduction of bills lias begun here
| again and it is likely that a meeting
| of 'the speaker and the rules eom-
I mittee will be held during the week
'to consider a date. It will probably
be early in May, as Representative
William T. Ramsey and other House
leaders consider that the House has
enough bills on hand now.
The Jones bill reorganizing the
State Department of Agriculture, an
administration measure, is expected
to lie on the desk of Governor Wil
liam C. Sproul for his action the
middle of the week. It is up for con
sideration of trifling House amend
ments in the Senate and will pass
Monday night.

VARE MEMBERS
ENTERPROTEST
Take Position Against Charter
Bills, but Penrose Says
City Wants Them
The Vare legislators have added
to the history of the Philadelphia!
charter bills, a "protest" addressed
to Governor Sproul, in which they
object to certain features, which the
the Governor in his recent statement
seems to favor. Senator Boies Pen
rose says that the sentiment of
Philadelphia is for the bills never
theless and notwithstanding. He also
says they will pass the Senate thi3
week.
The latest developments in the
controversy, which is expected to
be speeded up another notch to
morrow at the hearing arranged by
Senator Vare, do not indicate that
the bills will he out of the Legisla
ture very soon and, consequently,
rural legislators were to-day express
ing the hope that they would not be
permitted to tangle up all the rest
of the legislation. The real test on
I the bills will come in the House,
| where the Vare men will stage a
fight. How far they will go is a
matter of consesture here. It is cer
tain that sentiment in the House is
against any more hearings or delays
of the measure.
Six principal objections to charter
revision for Philadelphia are con
tained in the "protest." It is in
pamphlet form and copies of it have
been sent to each member of the
Legislature. Five Senators and
thirty-one Representatives signed it.
The signers are Senators Vare, Salus,
Patton, Martin and Gray, Represen
tatives Edwin R. Cox, James A.
Walker, Leopold C. Glass, Thaddeus
S. Krause. Benjamin M. Golder,
James A. Bennett, James Franklin,

I William F. Rorke, John R. K. Scott
and Patrick Conner.
Senator Penrose let it he known
that he would not object to an
amendment to the charter revision
bills which would allow contracts
for street cleaning and other work
to be done by contract provided
three-fourths of the single chamber
council and the mayor approve. The
Senator a'so said that he did not
take any stock in the statement that
ninety-five per cent of the voters of
Philadelphia are opposed to char
ter revision, as alleged in the "Vare
protest."
The six points raised against the
bill by the Vare men are:
That the proposed charter will
give the mayor dangerous and ex
cessive power.
That it would swamp the c.ity with
litigation and that a legislative com
. mission ought to study the question
so as to adapt a Philadelphia char
ter to the new State constitution.
That the smaller council proposed
by the Woodward bill is unrepresen
tative and undemocratic.
That the Woodward bill would in
no way take the police out of poli
tics.
That the annual cost of street
cleaning by contract in Philadelphia
is approximately $4,000,000, as
against the annual cost of approxi
mately the same mileage in New
York under municipal control of
SB. r, no. 000.
That the single civil service com
missioner proposed by the Wood
word bill would be an autocrat.
The Governor in his statement
declared in favor of four cardinal
points, including the small council
and a new fiscal system as well as
more "home rule."
When Senator Penrose got here
last night he was asked:
"Have you seen the statement
issued by the Vare members of the
Legislature protesting against the
charter revision bills?"
"Oh, yes, I've seen it, but I have
not had time to read it through,"
he replied.
"What do you think of it?"
"The leading civic, religious, busi
ness and other organizations of
Philadelphia are for the bills and
that all the newspapers are support
ing them. The sentiment of Phila
delphia is unquestionably for the
bills."
"Have you any engagement to see
Governor Sproul this week?"
"I have no appointment, but 1
shall probably see him. I do not
know that he has reached Harris
burg yet. I have just come in from
New York with Lieutenant Governor
Beidleman and Senator Frank
Smith. I expect to be in Harrisburg
a couple of days."
"The charter bills will likely pass
this week, won't they?"
"Yes, I think they will. I'm here
to help what I can. That's all I can
say to-night. I'm recording an ap
pearance here on behalf of the bills,
and expect to see a number of
people during the week."
The Phi'adelphia Press says: "The
complete Vare strength at Harris
burg was represented in the signers
of the "protest." Indeed, the com
munication served to reveal that this"
strength is one less in the Senate
than had generally been expected,
for the name of Senator William J.
McNichol is conspicuously lacking
from the document. McNichol's
status has been a matter of some
donbt. He lias been confidently
claimed by the revisionists, but
would never a'low himself to he put

Sproul Said to Be
For the Brady Bills
Word came to Harrisburg last
night that Governor William C.
Sproul is not opposed to the Brady-
Daix bills to "rip' out the Philadel
phia registration commissioners, but
that he would not take off his coat
for them. The Governor, it was
stated, will sign the bills if they
come to him.
The Governor, it is stated, does
not favor a change in the date of
i the primary. That has been moved
around enough in the last dozen
years.
The Brady-Daix bills, which the
Governor will sign if ho gets them,
will be opposed by the Vare forces!
because the Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh commissioners are all men
aligned with the Vare and other
forces opposed to Penrose. Senator
Penrose has denounced the regis
tration commissioners in Philadel
phia and the Philadelphia Record,
Democratic organ, is against the |
Democratic members of the board I
and says they are not worthy of the
compliment of being called Demo
crats.
Another of the Daix-Brady bills
would limit authority of county
commissioners in primary matters,
especially in moving polling places
and sitting as judges when they
are candidates.
Senator Penrose said:
"The Brady bills are on third
reading in the Senate and will come
up Monday night. I consider theht
essential to working out of condi
tions in Philadelphia. No so-called
charter revision can be of avail un

tions are .very well known in Phila

explained when the bills come up
for consideration.
"I also hope that the District At
torney bills will pass the Senate this,
week and there is no good reason
why they should not pass Monday,
particularly as the Governor has
endorsed them." i

URGES ECONOMY
IN GRAIN STORAGE
\ .
Vheut Crop May Cause Con-j
gestion Unless Percaution
Is Taken
Washington, April 2 B.—With a
wheat crop of over a billion bushels
in prospect in the United States this
season, the greatest crop the country |
has ever produced, the need for j
efforts by farmers and elevator com- I
panies to market and store the grain I
with the least possible loss and con- |
gestion of traffic is impressed by the i
Bureau of Markets of the United [
States Department of Agriculture. In !
calling attention to this great mar- i
keting problem the department says
that every possible measure should
be taken to insure the safe storage
and handling of this enormous crop. |
I I,ast year, with a crop of about
1 900,000,000 bushels, the rushing of i
the grain to market immediately
| after harvest caused a congestion all
j the way from the terminal markets
I to the farm. The wheat "backed up"
after the terminal elevators were
j full and congested the railroads and
j all country elevators. The result
I was that embargoes were placed on
I further shipments until the terni-
I inals could be cleared. Fortunately,
1 the winter was an open one, or the
! loss due to lack of proper storage
would have been heavy.
Xorthli Dakota Congestion Recalled
Attention is called by the Bureau
of Markets to the situation that pre
| vailed in North Dakota in the winter
! of 1915-16, following a crop in that
l State of 150,000,000 bushels. Owing
ito a congestion of elevators at
I country stations, tJ u c to the inability
| of the railroads to carry the wheat
| away as rapidly as the farmers haul
| ed it in, platforms were built and
hundreds of bushels of wheat were
piled up in the open. In addi
tion, great quantities of wheat were
stored in improvised bins.
One result of this condition was
that during the following summer
many farmers provided themselves
with galvanized-iron storage tanks
on their farms.
