Washington, Sept. 7—The govern-
ment to about to sell, or attempt to
seB, t© private capital, one of the larg-
est monuments, of the world war, the
mainmouth shipbuilding plapt»at Hog
Island, outside of Philadelphia.
Bids have been requested by the
shipping board for the project. The
ti<to will be opened October 30. The
date for the sale was twice postponed
to' give interested, parties ample time
to check over the specifications and
to provide the necessary capital
“I have gained twenty-five pounds
■ by taking Tanlac and never felt bet-
ter,” said E. J. Coleman, well-known
painter and decorator, of 195 Michigan
Ave., Winnipeg, Man.
i “About a year ago I had double pneu-
monia,” said Mr. Coleman, "and it left
me a wreck. I was too weak to walk
to work by myself and my stomach
was in such bad shape I could hardly
eat enough to keep a bird alive: My
nerves were so shattered I almost
collapsed when a friend one day un-
expectedly slapped me on the back. It
was out of the question fora me to
sleep at night—I was even afraid to
be akrae in the dark and had to have
someone in the room with me all day.
My kidneys were so out of order that
I had a pain across my back nearly
all the time and I lost so much weight

REALLY NO GREAT MYSTERY
Though at First It Did Seem Remark-
able Where Those Boy Scouts
Were Coming From.
Now there are boy scout stunts and
boy scout stunts, but it took a Terre
Haute troop to put over the best one.
It was at a meet at the First Baptist
church, and they were illustrating an
early morning at their summer camp,
Kinneumapoose. The scenery, except
for a small pup tent, was the regular
church furniture. But still the audi-
ence could stretch Its imagination
enough to make the scene effective.
The first streak of dawn was an-
nounced, and then slowly there
emerged from the pup tent a yawn-
ing, stretching scout. A wee interval,
and another followed him. Another
lapse of time, and another scout
emerged (rom. the tent. Then came
others until there were 13 on the plat-
form, and still ethers were coming'.
The audience was almost incredulous
with amazeme&t, for, as every one
knows, a pap tent toCso small that it
cannot accommodate more than three
boys at the limit.
Tbs* out started the thirteenth,
and evidently he was sleepy, for
be jostled the tent so ifbat it slipped
away from its mooring, and there back
of it was the entrance to the pool for
baptism. The youngsters h^d been
concealed In It and used the tent
merely as an entry to the platform/—

Aunt Dinah, plantation born and

by a young housewife, who, seeing her

She showed Aunt Dinah her small

and told her that when it was rung

she understood. A
few days late* the mistress was seated
on the broad veranda with a friend
when she heard a tremendous clangor
from the direction, of the kitchen. It
came nearer swiftly and soon identi-
fied Itself as the sound of a large bell.
Puzzled, the housewife entered the

swinging a large dinner beH vigorous-
