MRS, HOFFMASTER
PRAISES "DRECO"
Friends Were Saying "AmeIia
Won't Last Long, But She
Is Now Well and Strong,
Thanks to the New Medicine.

''Dreco is a most worthy remedy and
gladly recommend It," said Mrs. Frank
Hoffmaster, OF 80 Moss street, Reading,
Pa. IT have been sick for two years
and have called upon the doctor every
week during this long time. and I was
just as bad off the last week as I was
the first; II anything. was worse, and
my friends began to whisper. Poor
Amelia, she won't last long Indeed, I
was a sick woman, nervous, irritable,
couldn't sleep. weak and Indifferent to
everything. At last my goood husband
got alarmed. One day he said: Let us
60 to the drug store where the new
medicine, Dreco, is being advertised and
have it explained to us just what 1t is
good for. 1t might be the very thing
that will help YOU We went up and
were impressed with what the druggist
told us about 1t, and we bought bottle.
At the end OF the first bottle my appetite
was much better, constipation relieved
/ was sleeping we'll and the pains in my
limbs and back were entirely gone. At
the end OF the SECOND bottle l had
gained eleven pounds and my stomach
was as strong and well as II had
ever been in my life. My friends
were talking about the wonderful i'm
provement in me. and gave every bit
where It honestly belonged"
Persons who suffer from any stomach

Brownlow's Speech
Disturbed by Fire
Noise of Apparatus on Way to
Blaze Distracts Banquet
ers' Attention.

Commissioner Brownlow's two off,
cial children--the police and fire depart
ments-caused him considerable trouble
last night.
The policemen were gathered around
the banquet table at Rauschers and the
Commissioner had just begun his adj
dress. Suddenly the faint clang of fire
bells was heard. All ears were dis
tracted, despite efforts to keep their at
tention on the speaker.
The clang became louder and the
shrieking of the siren on the chiefs auto
added to the din as the machine dashed
by the hall. The Commissioner, who
had been struggling bravely to keep his
thoughts on his speech, broke down,
and all heads turned toward the win
dows.
II seem to be butting in on another
department" said Mr.. Brownlow, as
the bells died out. The policemen re-
Taxed, and the speech went on.
The fire was In wagon on n vacant
lot in the rear of 1921 Nineteenth street
northwest.

Mrs. L. H. Middlekauff, 439 H
st. N. w., Washington, gave the
following account of her experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills in Deem
Der, 1912. She said: 81 have used
Doan's Kidney Pills with highly sat
isfactory results, and gladly rec
ommend them to anyone who suffers
from backache or kidney weakness.
Doan's Kidney Pills do exactly as
they are advertised to do"
STEADFAST CONFIDENCE.
On December 1, 1915, Mrs. Mid
dlekauff said: 81 never stop prais-

made to convey the impression to the
country that if any real preparedness
were to be achieved it would come
through a plan to be outlined by the
President. Again the public mind
was wrought up to high pitch Of in
terest and the public anxiously await
ed the announcement Of his program.
Disappointment and criticism came
from all parts of the country when
the program was finally announced.
The plan was as unsatisfactory to the
advocates of preparedness as to the
opponents. It was declared to be i'm
practicable on the one hand, and un-
necessary on the other. If the press
agents of the White House had ex-
pended their energies in framing q
satisfactory policy rather than at
tempting President Wilson as the only
real authority on the subject, some
good might have been accomplished,
but in placing publicity ahead Of pre-
paredness they did the administration
more harm than good.
Naturally, Democrats who are anx-
ious to see the party continued in
power are considerably disgusted with
the management of publicity at the
White House.

HOMESTEAD MOVED TWENTY
MILES PIECE BY PIECE

Taking down an old house and
transporting it piece by piece twenty
miles and then reconstructing it ex-
actly as it was originally was the diff
lcult and painstaking task recently ac-
complshed under the direction Of a
wealthy resident of Cleveland. The
home which has been moved in this
novel manner is one which, for senti-
mental reasons, the owner desired to
preserve after he inherited it from
his aged mother, who died recently.
Since her estate had to be settled,
q most feasible way of preserving the
old homestead seemed to be the one
indicated The structure was con-
st1ucted IS years ago on what is now
Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, and was
boyhood home of the present owner,
who purchased a 60-acre tract near
Cleveland upon which to rebuild it.
Views of the rebuilt home appear in
the March Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine.
In taking down this house great
care was exercised not to destroy any
portion Of it. Likewise the relative
locations of the various pieces of
wood and other material were careful
ly noted.

SCHOOL AND HOMES ARE
CONNECTED BY TUNNELS

"At Tyree, a small railroad point in
northwestern Washington which is
usually almost buried during the win
ter, snowsheds connect a small frame
school building with the few houses
in which there are children of school
age," says the March Popular Mech
anics Magazine, in an illustrted arti-
Gle. Through these wooden tunnels
the children make their way to and
from school in comfort, while biz
yards sweep across the snow banks
above them. The sheds are made
necessary by the character of the hilly
village which has no street other than
a railroad right of way. When snow
is drifted so that it is from 20 to 80
feet deep in many places, and big rot
ary snowplows have cleared the rail-
way, leaving high embanknents of
snow on either side, track walking is
dangerous and all communication
difficult. Because of this the citizens
have constructed the snowsheds
through with the children, nile in
number, pass. These tunnels be-
meath the snow also provide the peo-
pie RI ady means of access from one
house to another when they are snow
bound"

.OVERP[AY|NC
THEIR HANDS

Washington, Feb. g., Especial Cor
respondence.) .)-Therre is apparently
good cause for Democratic dissatis-
faction with the manner in which the
press agents of the White House have
over played their hand in several par
ticulars. In an effort to turn to good
account circumstances which afforded
opportunity for political advantage,
they have been SO extreme in their ef-
fort as to- injure rather than help
their own cause.
The first illustration of this was
seen in the repeated effort last year
to picture President Wilson to the
country as man 'fbowed with grief
and 'burdened with the cares" Of the
government. Democratic speakers in
all parts of the country took the tip
from the White House publicity agents
and during last summer told of the
lonely man at the National Capital,
and of his continuous labors for the
good of the country. This would
have worked splendidly, had it not
been carried to extremes and contin-
ued too long. But when the truth
was finally disclosed the reaction was
injurious rather than helpful to Pres
ident Wilson.
Another instance of over-playing =
good hand is seen in the publicity mat
ter relative to foreign relations. We
have had a score of "grave crises
with Mexico and European countries,
each affording opportunity to picture
