Stars and Bsn.

Stars and Bars" was the name of
the flag recommended by the commit
tee for the Confederate States. The
official description from the report
of the provisional congress, March 4,
1861, is as follows: That the flag
OF the Confederate States of Ameri-
ca shall consist of red field with a
white space extending horizontally
through the center, and equal in width
to one-third the width of the flag. The
red spaces above and below to be of
the same width as the white. The
union blue extending down through
the white space and stopping at the
lower red space. In the center of the
union a circle of white stars CORE
spending in number with the number
OF states in the Confederacy." The
hage is in plan like the Stars and
Stripes, with three bars or stripes in
stead of the 13 stripes, red on top and
bottom and white in the middle. The
square of blue has a circle of seven
hve-pointed white stars.

Music of the Spheres.

The rising and the setting of the sun
clearly prove that this globe is car
ried round in the space of "a hours in
an eternal and never ending circuit,
and with incredible swiftness. I am not
able to say whether the sound caused
by the whirling about of so great a
mass be excessive, and therefore far
beyond what our ears can perceive;
nor, indeed, whether the resounding
of SO many stars, all carried on at
the same time, and revolving in their
orbits may not produce a delightful
harmony of incredible sweetness. To
US, who are in the interior, the world
appears to glide silently along both by
day and by night.-Pliny.

Sabina, O.-(Special.) )-This little
village has broken the record in the
way of the heaviest financial tribute
laid on a liquor law violator in the
state. Sampson Groves, a persistent
law breaker, was arrested for running
a speakeasy and entered plea Of
guilty.
Groves was fined $500 and costs, his
bartender s100 and costs. Groves had
to pay $1,000 on a bond he forfeited,
and also $1,000 Akin tax, with 5000
additional penalty. Groves paid over
in one sum $2,S35.30 for his lawless-
ress. On top of that, $1,000 worth Of
liquor in his possession was confis-
Gated and destroyed. and he had to
give a new bond of 1000.

A HAPPY DREAM
HAS COME TRUE
Sufferers from Stomach Trouble Have
Discovered a Relief.

To be a sufferer from stomach trou-
BILE for years and to bear all the tor
ments that this all too common all
ment causes, and then to be benefited
almost over night, is like having
happy dream come true.
This has been the pleasant expert
ence of thousands of former sufferers
of this dreaded malady, who have
taken Tanlac, the new reconstructive
tonic, which aids nature to restore the
stomach to the habit of doing a full
days work and doing it-well.
The present day mode of living has
raised havoc with stomachs. A tired,
overworked stomach or kidneys,
abused by too much or too hastily
eaten food, and our other faulty meth
DDS of living, cause an endless num-
ber of ailments, among them being
liver complaints, kidney trouble, ca
tarrhal affections, dyspepsia, nervous
breakdown, lost ambition and blood
troubles.
People so affected, and there are
thousands of them in cities like Wau-
seon, Ohio, are loggy and nervous
and easily tired. They are worn out
after a little exertion, and are moody
and depressed. These are sure symp-
toms of overworked vital organs
which need cleansing out and regulat-
ing. 1t is for just these conditions
that Tanlac has proven beneficial.
Men and women in all walks of life
are daily acknowledging the benefit!
derived from this Master Medicine
Tanlac has become a household wore
everywhere it has been introduced
Its records for sales has by far excell
ed those of any other proprietary pre-
paration ever known in the annals O
medicine. Its success is based ol
merit alone. It's best advertiser i
the former sufferer who has been re
lieved. The laboratories are work
ing day and night to supply the grea
demand which has been created b
Tanlac throughout the country. Its in
slant leap into popularity in this see
ton has been marvellous.
Nervous, tired out, rundown me
and women, or those suffering froT
stomach, kidney, liver, intestinal Q
catarrhal troubles should visit Fin
& Haumesser's Drug Store, wher
the Tanlac Man will explain the mel
it's of this wonderful reconstructiv
tonic and the results that may be e1
pected from its use.

ONE YEARS EXPERIENCE

What Home Rule Saloons Brought to
Town of Pomeroy.
Pomeroy, O.-(Special.)- an
experience of one year with the home
rule saloons in this town the Pomeroy
Tribune-Telegraph says:
"Just a year ago saloons came back
to Pomeroy. The anniversary Of that
evil day shows an unbroken train Of
crime and heartache, week by week,
the whole year through. There have
been directly traceable to the effects
of Pomeroy booze: Murder, fights,
gambling, indecent conduct, wife beat
ing, insanity, foul language, woe,
want, automobile accidents, unpaid
obligations, maudlin spectacles, and,
indeed, the whole category of ornery
and cussed human conduct"

SALOON BUSINESS
NOT PROSPEROUS
EiaRy Ohio Liquor Licenses Are
! Going Begging
WATER WAGON IS POPULAR

Similar Conditions Prevail Over the
Country and the Slump In the Con-
sumption of Liquors az Beverage
Tells the Story-Decrease In Value
of Saloon Licenses In Chicago Esti-
mated at $1e,ooo,oo0.
Columbus, o. Especially -" while
prosperity seems to nave come to the
country, it has not touched the sa-
loonkeepers as a Glass;" said a Co
lumbus man who spends considerable
time in the liquor joints of the capital
city.
Il know possibly & half dozen sa-
loonkeepers here who are making
some money" he continued, "but
aside from these l can not name 9TH
ors VINO are making more than bare
living, while the great majority are
merely existing, hoping against hope
that conditions will change for the
better"
This gentleman, in explaining the
hard times among saloon men, point
ed to the fact that half hundred or
more saloon licenses in Columbus are
not working, as nobody wants to en-
gage in the business. Many Of the
saloons have cut down the number
o. their employees because the trade
is so poor they are not justified in re-
ts lining them. One wholesale and re-
tail establishment dismissed its nigh
priced manager because trade was SO
poor it did not justify his retention.
There is one thing which used to
| be quite common In saloons, but
which you now seldom see." said the
ran quoted above. Quite frequent
" a man would enter a saloon, and
whether he knew the loiterers or not,
would invite everybody to drink with
him. This would start business and
| frequently there would be six or eight
rounds of drinks. 1 have seen this
tut once in Columbus saloons in the
past year. General treating is not
customary any more and this one fact
means a big slump in sales"
| Similar conditions are reported
from other Ohio cities and from all
over the country. In the big wet
centers of Ohio there are fewer
LIQUOR licenses than these wet COM
munities are entitled to. Saloon men
are selling out If they can find buyers,
end it is not unusual for a saloon
keeper to quit business voluntarily.
while bankruptcy proceedings involv-
ing liquor dealers are not uncommon.
To show this condition prevails
elsewhere, the Chicago Journal re-
ports in that city liquor licenses
few years ago sold at premium as
high as $4,000 This bonus has drop
ped to 800. The Journal says the
slump in value of licenses In that city
will aggregate $18,000,000.
There is an ever increasing num-
ber of men who are on the water
wagon and who do not go into sa
Icons. Many who formerly drank
have cut it out an6 the young men
we'll know it is a hindrance and not
g. help to be known as a patron OF the
saloon.
All this is having its effect on the
consumption Of liquor, as showr
by the revenue reports for tlt
twelve months Of 1915. Records o.
Uncle Sam snow that during these
twelve months there was decrease
in the assumption of beer as com
pared with the twelve months Of 1911
