SEALED TIGHT I
KEPT RIGHT |
Igl
Mrs. Robert
O. Reynolds
“I liave actually gained twenty-five
pounds and I just think Tanlac is the
grandest medicine in the world,” said
Mrs. Robert O. Reynolds, 127 North
Denver St., Kansas City, Mo.
“For ten long years I suffered from
a very bad form of rheumatism, stom-
ach and nervous troubles. My appe-
tite was very poor. What little I did
eat soured on my stomach and I suf-
fered the most severe pains in my
back, hips and shoulders. My rheu-
matism was so bad that I could not
raise my hands to comb my hair and
my arms hurt me to my finger tips.
I became so weak and run down that
I lost all my energy and life had be-
come almost a burden. I tried many
things but nothing helped me.
“I had only taken my first bottle
of Tanlac when I noticed my appetite
was improving and I could sleep bet-
ter at night. I have taken three bot-
tles and the way it has helped me and
built me up is really astonishing. I
can eat anything and everything with-
out the slightest disagreeable after-
effects. I sleep just fine at night and
am in better health than I have been
for years. I am glad to give this
statement, hoping that any who are
suffering as I did may experience the
same wonderful results, which I be-
lieve they will if they give Tanlac a
fair trial.”
Tanlac is sold by, leading druggists
everywhere.—Adv.
There is a limit to everything, but
lots of men never realize it until it is
too late.
ASPIRIN
Name “Bayer” on Genuine
Warning ! Unless you see the name
“Bayer” on package or on tablets you
are not getting genuine Aspirin pre-
scribed by physicians for twenty-one
years and proved safe by millions.
Take Aspirin only as told in the Bayer
package for Colds, Headache, Neural-
gia, Rheumatism, Earache, Toothache,
Lumbago and for Pain. Handy tin
boxes of twelve Bayer Tablets of As-
pirin cost few cents. Druggists also
sell larger packages. Aspirin is the
trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of
Monoaceticacidester of Salicycacid.—
Adv.
Thought Him Dead.
Five-year-old Buddy heard his
mother talking about Washington’s
birthday and with wideopen eyes he
cried in amazement: “Washington’s
birthday! Why, I thought he wa^'
dead!” The mother explained at some
length and got in reply, “Well, all
right, what’ll we give him?”
WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT
Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or-
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am-
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a physician’s pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle im-
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.
Needn’t Worry About That.
A western man advertising for* a
wife says he wants a woman with
ideas. He’ll get that no matter what
woman he marries.—Boston Tran-
script.
Only a beautiful girl can afford to
keep her domestic virtues under cover.
PLANNING FOR THE
CARE OF VETERANS
Creation of Service Adminis*
tion for Relief, Chief
of Plans.
Washington.—Seven specific recom-
mendations, chief among them the
creation of the veterans service ad-
ministration to take entire charge of
government relief work among ex-
service men and to be headed by a
director general, responsible directly
to the president, were contained in the
Feport submitted Thursday to Presi-
dent Harding by his special commis-
sion investigating the care of veter-
ans.
Charles G. Dawes, Chicago, chair-
man of the commission, told the presi-
dent that he believed the recommenda-
tions would prove a satisfactory solu-
tion of the troubles in the administra-
tion of soldier relief. Early action by
President Harding on the report is ex-
pected. One recommendation provides
for the new agency and gives it juris-
diction over the bureau of war risk
insurance, the rehabilitaion division of
the federal board for vocational educa-
tion and such part of the public
health service as may be necessary
to care properly for disabled veterans.
It also a!sks that a director general as-
sume charge of the new agency with
full authority to obtain necessary fa-
cilities when those already available
prove inadequate.
Another recommendation is that
pending enactment of new laws Sec-
retary Mellon of the treasury shall is-
sue orders to the heads of the public
health and war risk bureaus, authoriz-
ing the latter bureau to take charge of
tfce public health activities and per-
sonnel engaged in providing medical
care for the veterans. The effect
would be to consolidate these bureaus,
under one head by executive order
without waiting for congress to act or
risk delay from that cause.
The next recommendation provides
for an immediate extension and util-
ization of all government hospital fa-
cilities together with such mobiliza-
tion of civilian medical services as
may prove practical.
An immediate and continuous hospi-
tal building program is asked in a
recommendation which suggests that
Secretary Mellon’s committee recently
appointed to report on sites for new
hospitals be directed to report con-
cerning the type and locations of the
required buildings. It adds that ap-
propriations should be made available
by the congress which convenes next
Monday.
The sixth calls for erection of hu-
manizing influences to impress $he
sick and wounded with the fact that
the nation is entirely concerned in
their welfare and rehabilitation.
The last asks immediate use of the
$18,600,000 appropriated by the last
congress for new hospitals.
Urges Training School for Girls.
Waco, Tex.—F. A. Craven, president
of the State Probation Association of
Texas and county probation officer of
McLennan County, will make an ef-
fort to have Governor Pat M. Neff
submit the bill at the special session
of the legislature providing for a state
training school for delinquent girls, to
be located in the central portion of
Texas. The hill carries an appropria-
tion of $200,000 for the proposed
school.
Clemency Pleas Sent to Governor.
Austin.—There is an average of ap-
proximately half a dozen applications
for executive clemency in the nature
of pardons, paroles and furloughs
reaching the governor’s office daily,
despite the announcement made by
the governor when he assumed his du-
ties as chief executive.
Daring Aviator Killed.
Chicago, 111.—Ernest Ward, known
as the most daring of aviation acro-
bats since the death of Orner Lock-
lear, was killed Friday when his air-
plane fell while he was rehearsing an
act for a circus which had employed
him for the summer.
Birds Killed by Hail.
Rockford, 111.—Hundreds of birds
were killed by hail Friday. The rain-
fall was 1.01 inches in 90 minutes. The
hail was the heaviest in years and did
considerable property damage.
Member Regent Board Resigns.
Austin, Tex.—E. H. Perry of Aus-
tin, member of the board of regents
of the University of Texas, has tend-
ered his resignation to Governor Neff
as a member of the board.
Former Prince of Bavaria Weds.
Berlin.—Former Crown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria and Princess An-
toinette of Luxembourg were married
Thursday at Hohenburg castle, the
Luxembourg chateau near Toelz in up-
per Bavaria.
Gibbon’s Will Probated.
Baltimore, Md.—The will of Car-
dinal Gibbons was filed in the or-
phans’ court Monday, disposing of a
personal estate of about $100,000.
Fumigation was given 387 ships at
Port Arthur during March. The work
was done by government public health
authorities.
Rabbits, rats and birds are doing a
great deal of dahiage to young corn
and causing much replanting to be
done in the Louise district.
The records of the Orange County
tick eradication campaign for the
month of March show that a total of
5,700 head of cattle were dipped.
Prospects for a large pecan crop in
the Pecan Bayou Valley and also in
the San Saba and Llano River valleys},
were blighted to some extent by the
recent frosts.
In spite of the number of rabbit
drives in Gonzales County, in which
thousands of rabbits have been killed,
the bunnies are still doing consider-
able damage to young crops.
It is thought that the rice planted on
the Anahuac Canal in Chambers Coun-
ty will not amount to one-half the
acreage planted last season. Some of
the rice farmers of last year are put-
ting in high land crops.
■ The Yoakum Chamber of Commerce
is endeavoring to obtain the acreage
of watermelons in the territory tribu-
tary to Yoakum, so that steps may be
taken to secure a market for the mel-
on cfop for this season.
A big export business for April is
predicted for the port of Orange.
Bookings already show near seven
million feet of lumber will leave Or-
ange during this month. Orange leads
all ports in lumber export.
Heart disease, much of it brought on
by rheumatism incident to the chang-
ing weather conditions of March, April
and May caused 189 deaths in Texas
during the month of March, the state
health office announced this week.
The records of exports handled at
Orange during the month of March
shows that a total of 5,996,929 feet of
lumber were handled, besides 1800
tons of general cargo, going princi-
pally to Tampico and Vera Cruz, Mex-
ico.
The expense of the annual encamp-
ment of the Texas National Guard,
which is to be held in June at Camp
Mabry, near Austin, is estimated at
$180,000 by Assistant Adjutant Gen-
eral Charles M. Crawford, who has
just completed preliminary figures.
A child welfare conference was held
at Hallettsville recently under the
auspices of the Lavaca County Chap-
ter, American Red Cross. Children
from all parts of the county were ex-
amined. The conference was under
the supervision of Miss Berry of the
home economics division of Texas
state board of health.
The secretary of state’s department
has just granted a charter to the State
Association of Texas Pioneers, with
headquarters at San Antonio. The
purpose is to “keep alive Texas his-
tory, perfect Texas traditions and to
cultivate friendly relations between
the pioneers of Texas and their de-
scendants, and also to establish and
maintain landmarks, memorial halls,
historical museums, institutions and
hospitals.”
San Felipe de Austin on the Brazos
is exempt from all taxation, Chief
Justice Nelson Phillips of the su-
preme court has ruled. This com-
munity, the seat of Stephen F. Aus-
tin’s colony and his residence, where
the first Texas conventions were held
in 1832 and 1833 is exclusively for pub-
lic use, and therefore not taxable, the
justice ruled. The opinion contains
many references to early Texas days
and state pioneers. ' * „
The Texas cotton crop will be re-
duced by 25 to 30 per cent of the usual
acreage planted this year, according
to officials of the Texas Farm Bureau
and the Texas Industrial Congress at
Dallas, who have been conducting
surveys to determine the effectiveness
of the “plant-less-cotton” propaganda.
Farmers are planting other crops, not-
ably food and feed, and will fall back
on cotton only as a last resort in case
of irreparable damage to the substi-
tute crops.
Organization of the Texas division
of the Southern Tariff Association
was effected at Dallas recently, and
a special committee was appointed to
go to Washington and appear before
the ways and means committee of the
house of representatives at its hear-
ing April 20. An executive commit-
tee also was named to procure co-
operation of all Texas organizations
of producers, including farmers, stock
raisers, wool growers, lumber inter-
ests, manufacturers and all others.
The fire record for Port Arthur in
March shows a total damage of only
$90.
Unless there should be a disastrous
freeze, not now believed possible,
George B. Terrell, commissioner of
agriculture, predicts that Texas will
have a wonderful fruit crop. He says
the peach trees in the Jacksonville
section, the heaviest producers in Tex-
as, have not been seriously damaged.
He says some damage was done from
Pittsburg, north through Mt. Pleasant
and Mt. Vernon, but that he is not
advised as to its extent. His state-
ment is based on reports from his field
agents.
Informal Exchanges Made
Between American and
Teutonic Governments
Washington.—Paraphrases of the irt-
formal exchanges between the Ger-
man and American governments re-
garding reparations, in which the
United States holds Germany “mor-
ally bound to make reparations, so far
as may be possible,” were made pub-
lic Monday at the state department.
Describing the German communi-
cation as an “unequivocal expression”
of the recognition of that obligation,
the American reply expresses the hope
that renewed negotiations which1 Ger-
many says it plans to initiate “may
lead to a prompt settlement which
will, at the same time, satisfy the
just claims of the allies and permit
Germany hopefully to renew its pro-
ductive activities.”
Included in the German communi-
cation is the suggestion that the only
solution of the reparation problem is
in an international loan, in favor of
which the allied and associated pow-
ers would waive the general mort-
gage on German assets created by the
treaty of Versailles. In this connec-
tion the German government says, “it
would not be unwilling to assume the
obligation of the interest and the
amortization of the foreign debts of
the allied and associated powers, with-
in the limit of her capacity.”
Germany invites the examination
“by unbiased experts of its own abil-
ity to make payment,” and says she
stands ready to meet any proposal
which appears feasible “for the solu-
tion of the economic and financial
problems of Europe.”
The American reply makes no ref-
erence either to the proposed consoli-
dation of allied debts as German obli-
gation or the suggestion for the de-
termination by unbiased experts of the
ability of Germany to pay.
Another consideration with regard
to reparations presented by Germany
is that of the rehabilitation of dev-
astated regions. The German govern-
ment says it stands ready to offer
France good offices and resources in
whatever form is acceptable. It as-
serts that for the immediate rehabili-
tation of the devastated regions it has
repeatedly proffered labor, technical
advice and material assistance, “but
that these offers have not been ac-
cepted.”
372 SHIP FROM PORT OF
GALVESTON DURING MARCH
Galveston, Tex.—A total of 372 of-
ficers and men were placed aboard
shipping board vessels at the port of
Galveston during the month of March,
according to a report compiled by H.
C. Wilson, official in charge of the lo-
cal shipping board sea service bureau.
Of this number 70 were officers. A to-
tal of 302 men of all grades below of-
ficers were placed on vessels. These
figures show an increase in place-
ments over the same month last year
of 42 men.
Included in the March business of
the bureau is a total of 15 first place-
ments. These men with the excep-
tion of four were former soldiers and
sailors of the army and navy.
Mr. Wilson stated that the bureau
was able to place a lhrge number of
men during the latter part of March,
as shipping business had apparently
picked up. Thus far this month the
bureau has a good start in placing
seamen, he said.
Few Civilians Apply.
San Antonio, Tex.—Only 32 appli-
cations from Texas, New Mexico, Ok-
lahoma, Arizona and Colorado have
been filled for the army examinations
to be held April 25. The examinations
are for first and second lieutenant ap-
pointments. Four thousand such
places are to be filled in the army ex-
aminations to be held April 25. The
examinations are for first and second
lieutenant appointments. Four thou-
sand such places are to be filled in the
army and the dearth of applicants in-
dicated that the army must seek else-
where than among civilians for its of-
ficers.
Little Hope for Lost Balloonists.
Washington.—Hope has practically
been abandoned by. the navy depart-
ment that the five men who left Pen-
sacola, Florida, air station in free bal-
loon A-5604 March 22, will ever be
found alive, according to announce-
ment at the department Friday. The
search has not been entirely abandon-
ed, the statement said, but little hope
is entertained that either the men or
the balloon will be found.
Wurbach Gets Place.
Washington.—Representative Wurz-
bach of Texas will he made a mem-
ber of the republican committee on
military affairs, it is announced this
week.
Vesuvius Active Again.
Naples.—Mount Vesuvius is in act-
ive eruption. The eruption is the most
violent that has occurred in 15 years.
It is being accompanied by impressive
internal rumblings.
BUILD IGLOOS OF CONCRETE
Eskimo Indians No Longer Satisfied
With the Primitive Houses of
Snow of Their Fathers.
It is a matter of government rec-
ognition that the Eskimo Indians of
the Pribilof islands are rapidly gain-
ing in sophistication, as the prices of
the sealskins and blue and gray fox
pelts they sell mount higher and
higher. Those bits of frozen land in
Bering sea, whose total area is less
than seventy square miles, have only
about 350 inhabitants, yet they are
being assailed by all the aspirations
of prosperity • and are beginning to
buy the most interesting items the
mail-order catalogues offer. So Uni-
ted States engineers are building
them igloos of concrete, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, thus substitut-
ing the most substantial of materials
for what seems, from the temperate-
zone viewpoint, the most ephemeral.
The builders, however, are careful to
adhere closely to the native style of
architecture.

GATHER HERBS IN MOUNTAINS
Carolinians Derive Fair Income Col-
lecting Materials From Which
Drugs Are Ultimately Made.
An interesting trade in the Carolina
mountain counties of Ashe, Allegheny
and Watauga is that in what are
known as crude drugs; in other words,
herbs, plants, roots, etc. Some fam-
ilies have for many years devoted all
their time to gathering these from the
mountainsides, live in tents and move
from place to place until all the mate-
rials in range are gathered. A con-
siderable number of farmers spend
part of their time in this line of work
and get more money than is paid in
wages in that region, while at the
same time living near to nature, the
most healthful life imaginable, amid
the cliffs and with numerous rattle-
snakes to be watched for also. Wild
cherry bark, hazelwood leaves, man-
drake, cohosh, ginseng and golden
seal are sought after.—Manufacturers*
