That itching which keeps you awake at night,
and forces you to scratch at the most embarrass-
ing times, is almost sure to yield to Resinol Oint-
ment. Usually the discomfort stops and healing
beginswith the first application, and the distressing
eruption quickly disappears. Resinol Ointment
is even more effective if aided by Resinol Soap.

London, Dec. 3.—Leon Trotzky, bol-

according to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Petrograd, has issued a
, warning with reference to the French
I' and American communications to Gen-

' Which he says:
“Nobody demands from the present

The government cannot permit allied

) "I want to add my testimony to the
j Value of Tanlac above any other medi-
i cine I have ever tried,” said Rev. James
: Hamilton, a retired Methodist minister
and former missionary to Brazil, re-
siding on Ellis street, R. F. D. No. 9,
Box 648, Dallas, Texas, recently. -
“I always enjoyed robust health,”
Rev. Hamilton continued, “until about
i eighteen years ago. After spending
! several years in Brazil my digestive
organs got out of order and I began
having burning pains in my stomach.
My nerves also beame upset and I got
> to where I couldn’t sleep well. This
condition gradually grew worse until I
would have to sit up in bed nearly all
night. I became so nervous I was
afraid to ride horseback to my ap-
pointments, and for weeks at a time
I never slept a dozen hours a week.
I tried many medicines but continued
to lose flesh and strength rapidly.
“Finally my condition became so se-
, rious that I was compelled to give up
and when I came to Dallas eight years
ago I weighed only one hundred and
thirty pounds and was a complete ner-
vous and physical wreck. I was so
weak the least little exertion would
exhaust me. When Tanlac came here
I watched the testimonials closely. Fi-
nally I noticed a similar case to mine
and although I was shy about trying
patent medicines, I. got me a bottle
and found so much benefit that I kept
right on with the treatment until I
took six bottles and felt that my health
was fully restored. This was nine
months ago and since then—even dur-
ing the heat of the summer—I have
had a better appetite and enjoyed my
food more than I have in seventeen
years. I now weigh one hundred and
eighty-seven pounds. So by the help
of Tanlac I have regained my health
and strength and if I can help others
to find relief by my statement I am
only too glad of the opportunity.”
Tanlac is sold in Galveston by Gal-
veston-Star Drug Co. and Schott’s Drug
Co.—(Advertisement.)
With the American Army in France,
Dec. 2.— (By the Associated Press).—A
number of officers who were attached
to the first battalions to enter the
trenches have been transferred to the
newly arrived units of former national
guardsmen, wherelthey will direct the
work of getting the new troops ready
for the front line. Later, men of the
first unit to establish contact with the
enemy also may be transferred tem-
porarily to assist the officers. This con-
forms with the announced plan of Gen-
eral Pershing.
Reports from all divisional head-
quarters indicate that the training is
progressing most rapidly. The course
of instruction has been shaped so as
to achieve the greatest results in the
shortest time without abandoning any
necessary detail.
Snow fell today over the entire Amer-
ican zone, whitening the ground, build-
ings and trees in the higher places,
but adding to the mud in the lower
lands. Engineers working on the sup-
ply line today reported they had
passed through several fairly lively
bombardments without casualties.
Vance McCormick, member of the'
American mission to the interallied
conference, came out from Paris today
to visit headquarters and see the
troops. Later he left to inspect the
French front. Colonel E. M. House
and the other members of the .mission
are expected to visit the American zone
during the week.

new language is proposed which would
authorize the president to take im-
mediate possession of any land or ap-
purtenances necessary and which can
not be purchased within the appro-
priations at prices to be determined by
him as just. Should that price not be
satisfactory to the owner, 75 per cent
of the sum determined would be paid
over at once, with authority granted to
sue the United States for additional
payment.

make the items available in supplying
guns, ammunition and reserve ord-
nance stores .for vessels authorized
under the three-year program, indicat-
ing the department’s intention to press
for the completion of that program,
which has been held up by war needs
for destroyers and merchant craft.
Under the heading of public works
the navy department asks the follow-
ing appropriations for various yards
and stations: Portsmouth, N. H., $489,-

Washington, Dec. 3.—A war budget
of more than eleven billion dollars to
pay army and navy costs during the
fiscal year 1919 faced congress today
when the government’s estimates were
presented. The sum represents only
the strictly military expenses that can
be estimated so far in advance, and
is more than two and a half billion
larger than similar appropriations
made for the year 1917-18. So far as
the estimates show it provides only for
raising and maintaining an army of 1,-
500,000 men and carrying out naval
and coast fortification increase proj-
ects already authorized.
The chief item in the budget is for
the military establishment of the army,
to cost $6,615,936,553, an increase of
$1,365,907,609 over the total of army
appropriations made at the last ses-
sion. The only means of determining
the size of the army provided for is
in the estimate of $1,003,933,676 for pay.
This is $159,294,558 greater than ap-
propriations obtained last session for
the pay of 62,000 officers and 1,208,-
300 enlisted men of the line and 398,-
000 enlisted men of the various auxil-
iary corps. The estimates call for staff
officers as follows: General staff, 347;
adjutant general’s departments, 281;
inspector general, 241; engineers, 400;
ordinance, 2,000; quartermaster, 8,300;.
medical, 14,000; judge advocate general,
300; signal corps (including aviation),
11,941; with these large staff increases
and foreign service pay increases to-
talling nearly $80,000,000 also estimated
for, it appears clear that the total
increase in the pay item of $159,294,558
does not cover any material extension
of the original military program of an
army of 1,500,000 men.
Fortifications estimates takes second
place with a total of $3,332,445,122 or
an increase of $1,155,102,874 over ap-
ties; $157,111,894 for the medical de-
partment, to include $17,000,000 for new
motor ambulances and $111,000,000 for
medical and hospital supplies, also $24,-
000,000 for veterinarian supplies, the
total being an increase of $26,331,894;
$135,000,000 for engineer equipment
for troops which includes the gas and
flame devices, star rockets, hand gren-
ades and signal lights of all kinds;
$892,000,000 for engineer operations in
the field, an increase of $600,000,000
and covering bridge, railway and
road building and operating .equip-
ments; $390,000,000 for ammunition, an
increase of $175,000,000; $93,400,000 for
ordnance repairs which covers the ex-
penses of operating the great base ar-
senal in France; $237,144,000 for the
purchase of machine guns; $75,550,000
for armored cars. A new item is $4,-
500,000 for arms and- ammunition for
the home guard and $6,018,000 is asked
to conduct civilian training camps.
For the military academy a total of
$5,713,254 is sought, some $4,000,000
being for expenditure on buildings and
grounds.
Secretary Daniels estimates for the
navy show that the store of guhs and
ammunition is rapidly being gathered
and that estimates have been reduced
in many• particulars under appropria-
tions received last year. The chief in-
crease is in pay, the total being $213,-
229,551, against $126,532,448. Provisions
also call for more at $64,485,353,
against $41,885,935. Marine corps pay
estimates have risen to $22,153,370,

Paris, Dec. 3.—The problem of ship-
ping has been solved by the allies,
Bainbridge Colby, representative of the
American shipping board at the inter-
allied conference, said yesterday. The
solution is found in the enormous ship-
building program of the United States.
“I am not permitted, by the nature
of things, to discuss the work of our
mission and its results,” said Mr. Colby,
who has been one of the busiest mem-
bers of the mission.
“I can at least say, however, that it
has been of the highest value and sig-
nificance. My time has been almost
entirely engaged with the shipping
problem, which is, in a sense, the prob-
lem of the war.
“I think I can fairly say that the
problem is solved. The stupendous
building program of America is the
answer to the submarine, the answer
which the defective psychology of Ger-
many could not foresee.
“Of course the most fruitful thing
about our visit is the opportunity it
has given us to meet face to face and
exchange views freely with the men
who are directing the mighty events
now passing. But to me the most in-
teresting contact has been with the
men at the front. Here you find no
trace of the doubts or hesitations of
the council chamber. The soldiers are
splendid. It is almost incredible that
after three years of war one should
find such tone and spirit among the
fighting forces.
“I visited the front, walked in the
trenches, surveyed the German
trenches from an observation tower in
advance of the allied artillery, and
crouched my way through the dugouts
of a French battery which was in ac-
tion. Everywhere it is the same; the
soldiers’ faces are serene, their move-
ments snappy and vigorous. They have
their work in hand and they know it
is good work they do.
“Our men are beginning to show in
the vast scene. With successive con-
tingents arriving at intervals, the
American soldier is becoming a famil-
iar sight in France. He is immensely
popular. Everywhere his fine appear-
ance, good nature and soldierly bear-
ing have won for him universal ad-
miration and respect.”
