WITH VICTORY NEAR, HE
ALMOST GAVE UP FIGHT
COLUMBIAN NOW HAS WIFE TO
TIA NIX FOR URGING HIM ON.
WON AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
Mora. in this Story Perhaps Applies
to Many Others-Tclls OF
Long Struggle.

There is a moral in this. 1t has
to deal with a person who came very
ncar giving up too soon. And the
story is told by his wife-a story
that perhaps Is true with regard to
many others.
Mrs. Mary Gordon, OF 72O Sew
cnth street, Olympia, suburb of
Columbia, says Tanlac made a well
man OF her husband, though he had
suffered more than 80 years with
severe form of stomach trouble be-
fore he began taking it. And the
moral Is this: Don't give up!" for
she says her husband almost lost
heart when the first bottle of Tanlac
failed to give him the relief he ex-
pected, and it was only because of
his wife's urging that he continued
to take Tanlac until she says he was
well man when the fourth bottle
was taken.
Mrs. Gordon's statement in en-
dorsement Of Tanlac follows:
"My husband suffered from ca
tarrh Of the stomach almost all his
life-for more than 80 years-and
he had it very badly. He got in such
bad shape that almost everything he
ate hurt him and nothing seemed to
nourish him. He would have sick
spells and could not work. and his
troubles caused him to lose a lot of
time from his work.
He was in bad shape and could
not go anywhere hardly, and he had
lost lot of weight. 1t was almost
impossible for him to sleep we'll at
night. and sleeplessness troubled
him lot. Finally, he decided to
take Tanlac, for he had read lot
about it and knew several people
who had endorsed it.
"He says Tanlac cured him Of that
stomach trouble. He sleeps we'll
now, and he is in fine shape in every
way. The last Tanlac he took was
taken two or three months ago, and
he never has any trouble with his
stomach now and he can eat any
thing he wants and it never hurts
him. He says he feels better now
than he has III years.
1--WE spent lot Of money for pro-
fessional treatment of his troubles.
but it seemed that the medicines he
was given did not suit his case. But
he sure was wonderfully helped by
Tanlac. and he told me the other
day that he wanted to give a testi-
monial. We cannot say too much
for Tanlac.
"He took four bottles Of Tanlac.
The first bottle did not help him and
he did not want to get any more. but
! persuaded him to get the second,
and it helped him a right smart bit.
And the next two bottles broke uD
his troubles and he is in just fine
shape now. sure can recommend
Tanlac, because Tanlac did more for
my husband than all the other me6i-
cines he ever took and made a well
man Of him, even though he had suf-
fered with this stomach trouble
more than 80 years"

OUR VIEWS.

Along the lines mentioned by MIR,
Mitchell The Courier has had little
to say in the past. belle ting that the
least said under present political
conditions in our State, the letter
ior the interests 0! all concerned
We have, however. in the past given
expression to our unqualified belief
in, and advocacy Of. compulsory edu-
cation, with physical examination Of
pupils made mandatory. With the
optional compulsory education law
that Is now on our statute books, We
have felt that the "cntering wedge"
has at last been inserted that will
eventually lead to Statewide and
nationwide compulsory education in
the free public schools Of our coun-
try. Such condition is certainly TO
be hoped for as the true means OF
attaining the highest possible stand
ard OF efficiency in citizenship :ad
the greatest boon to the everyday
life OF the individuc'.
We doubt the coming into being
or general cugcnicS law in our
state for some years. though it is
certainly the means to an end not
less important than compulsory edu-
cation. 1t should go hand in hand
with compulsory education and phys
zeal examination Of school children.
with these laws cnactcd--and en-
Eorrcd-wr would not recognize our
own country or our own people
within the span OF a quarter century.
What Il revolution indeed would
be created by the simple requirement
OF certain physical qualifications for
hoth parties to marriage contract.
And nothing is more reasonable. We
OF the human family practice the law
OF eugcnios with regard to our do
nestle animals. and yet we rcbel--
we or the human family. Gods
greatest work OF creation--rcbcl at
the very laws We recognize as right
and proper in the animal kingdom
over which We rule. We weed out"
the physically unfit among our do
nestle animals. we refuse to breed
tnhcrrular cattle. dcformcd and Vi
'l"nS horses. and even carry the
enSrnics principle to the hog pen.

iertivc. and retaining as the heads

human race. We are told that "pcr-
sonal libcrtics." "personal rights
and hundred other things .pcr-
Sonal enter to operate against the
law OF cugcnics. through which,
once put into operation, we would
soon have a nation OF stalwart mon
and women, phsically capable OF
taking their places in any sphere Of
activity. The combining OF compul-
sorry education and physical uualifi-
cations for school attendance with a
reasonable application Of the law OF
eugcnics would indeed prove the re.
making Of our nation.
Before we shall have the opportn-
nifty to enjoy the blessings OF these
laws, or any Of them, however, we
are going to find it necessary to eff.
fectually squelch the designing poll.

 Enthusiastic reports in regard to the condition at the State lFarm Farm for Inebriates are brought by Manager Eu- oene Kerner of the Associated Chari- ties just returned from the annual meeting of the Connecticut State Con- ference of Charities .and Corrections in Norwich. The farm was visited incl dentally ,during the conference. He states that the three Waterbury men there are doing well.
 lie is of the opinion that there IS nothing like fresh air to put man hack on his feet. At the farm the men have no opportunity to get Tn touch with liquor, but do have plenty of healthy exercise, which builds them up physically and makes new men of them.
 Besides work, the men have medic inal treatment, purging their system bv haths and sweats. He thinks that there should be some way in which the men after leaving the state farm shonld be able to start out life free from former temptations.

TlMBERING MINES IS COSTLY
owners Compelled to Put Millions of Dollars Underground Every Year
 of Operation.

Nearly 9O,000,000 cubic feet of tim Der are placed in the anthracite mines Of Pennsylvania every year. if an esti- mate in the Golliery Engineer. lately acquired by Coal Age. that the amount Of timber in anthracite mines is ap- proXimately one cubic foot for every ton of coal mined, is correct. The tim bered gangways and drifts cover a vast extent. exceeding 1000 miles. and the closely timbered shafts with their miles of heavy guide timbers which must be constantly replaced. form large item. The total output since the beginning of anthracite mining is over 2,500,000O00 tons.
 A billion tons of water. or over II times as many tons as the coal pro- duced during the year. must be pumped out of the anthracite mines every year. According to the chief of the Pennsyl- vania department of mines the timber ing is an even greater expense than the pumping. The cost If placing this vast forest below ground is stagger- ing.
 The cost of the material is given as about 6.5 cents per cubic foot for round timber and 20 cents per cubic foot for sawed timber. At the lower figure this would make 90.000,000 cubic feet cost $5,s50.000 In addition to this, there are millions of mine ties, and heavy white oak is used for the mine cars. The use of steel timbers, which longevity, for main gangways, turn outs, pump rooms and shaft and slope bottoms, will add to the total cost of mining for the next few years, but will effect final saving. Most of the tim Der now used in the anthracite mines is yellow pine from the South.

Egg Laid By 27-Year Old Hen

The famous Black Spanish hen own. ed al the Blanchard place in Dayville again flashes into the limelight with the record stunt of laying her first egg since she matched out a flock oi sturdy chicks in the spring of 1915. This wonderful hen is now in her 2sth year. This fact is not established by seien- tihc study of the markings on her teeth, as many may suppose, but by the records in possession of the Blan- ehard family, owners ot the wonderful hen from the days when she was an Easter chick. Last year when she came forward for recognition as sn aged matching marvel, her fame be- came countrywide and the press no tices she received were sufficient to fill book.

Special Hartford Correspondence
 Hartford More than 25O head stones, with appropriate inscriptions. will be placed by the state through the auartermaster's department of the Connecticut National Guard before Memorial Day on the graves of Con Heeticut men formerly in the military O naval service of the United States government. These Leadstones rep resent a total expenditure of over S#000 At least 7.500 graves have been provided with headstones by the oaartermaster's department since 1SS2, when the legislature of the state authorized the marking in this way of graves of former soldiers, sailors and marines. The number of headstones ordered this year is as great, if not greater, than the average Of past years, according to Major Mi chael Wise, assistant to the acting chief quartermaster. who has general supervision of the placing of these neadstones.
 By far the greater number of the graves that will be provided with headstones this year are those of men who fought in the Civil War, though there are a number of graves of Spanish American war veterans. The applications for the headstones can be made by the board of select men of any town, by the board of charity. by Grand Army posts, Camps Of Sons of Veterans. executive officials of the town or by a commissioned off cer or veteran who served with the deceased. The quartermaster's de- partment requires in all applications for headstones for persons whose names and services are not published in the Record of Connecticut Men in the War of Rebellion" a certificate of honorable discharge The production Of pension papers is considered sufTi- cent proof
 The headstones furnished by the qaarermaster's department are of a standard type, made of American white marble costing $16 each. They are feet, inches long; 1 foot, 4 inches wide, inches thick Numbers of these headstones are sent out every few days from the state armory to cemeteries all over the state.

At FOnrSeOre

My feurseore years have swiftly,
 Like shadows, passed away Yet 1 can say sincerely
 "Thank God for every day! My joys nave far exceeded
 The sorrows on life's road, All 1 have really needed
 Heaven has in love bestowedi My light afllictions really
 Are blessings in disguisei- From worldliness they wean me They help me win the prizei My outer man may perish.
 The inner man still thrives. My faith in Christ l cherish
 All fear far from me drives. My family are favored
 Of Heaven, most highly too, From early life they've labored
 For Christ, faithful and true! My christian friends are legion, Their love pledge of Heaven. A part of that bright region
 On earth to me is given Why should 1 fear the morrow On earth, or Heaven atove, There free from sin and sorrow
 I'll dwell with those l love?

surplus so that 1t does not make the coating too thick. The fat should be smoking hot and then tested with small cube of bread; if it browns in 40 seconds it is hot enough for all uncooked mixtures, a 60-second test of the same will be right for all cooked mixtures. When fat bubbles and boils, too much moisture Is in the mixture and few less should be add ed to the fat. Five or six croquettes or cakes are sufficient to cook at one time. After removing from the hot fat the food should be drained on pa- per. When fat needs clarifying, add few slices of raw potato and cook un- til brown, then strain the fat through double cheese cloth to remove all set tlings.
 Cheese croquettes.-To three table spoonfuls of melted butter add third of a cupful of flour and stir until well blended, then pour gradually one cup ful of milk. Bring to the boiling point and add the yolks of two eggs, slight ly beaten and diluted with two table SpOOn1ulS or cream anu two CuplulS of milk cheese, cut in cubes. Season with three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of pepper. Spread on a plate to cool. Shape, dip in crumbs, eggs, and fry in deep fat.
