KANSAS WOMAN REGAINS
HER MANY LOSSES
After Years of Disappointment
She Claims Master Medicine
Tanlac Gave Back Health.

Tanlac Gave Back Health.
The story of Mrs. N. E. Frank
lin, who is spending the winter
with her daughter at 149 North
Market Street, Wichita, Kansas,
of how her appetite, rest and real
former self were restored after
long sufferings from stomach
trouble, bronchitis, coughing
spells and dropping of mucous
from her head to her throat an
almost general rundown condi-
ton, proved one of the most in
teresting of the hundreds of Tan
lac tales told since the Master
Medicine was introduced in Mis-
souri,.
my friends tell me that l am
looking healthier than l have for
a long time" testified Mrs.
Franklin, and it was all due to
Tanlac.
l heard of Tanlac by accident,
it was this way, a neighbor call
ed to see me one day and noticed
that l was not looking so well
spoke of Tanlac and suggested
that l give it a trial. It set M
thinking and the next time l
went down town l stopped in to
see the "Tanlac Man" and pur-
chased a bottle.
| have taken four bottles o.
Tanlac to-date and l feel great
ly relieved, in fact such a change
has come over me that my
friends notice it and tell me of it
My appetite is good and l have
gained several pounds in weight
and | know Tanlac has benefit
ed me in every way"
Tanlac is meant to correct
such a malady from which Mrs.
Franklin suffered. There are hun
dreds of people in this city and
vicinity suffering from the same
ailments.
Tanlac is now on sale in Lex
ington at Crenshaw & Young
Drug Store for $1.O0 a bottlc

MOTOR TRUCKS IN WARFARE.

After a thorough study of the eff
fects of the subsidy system of the
French and German governments, as
applied to motor trucks, the Swiss
military authorities have come to the
conclusion that these systems are the
only reliable and sensible solution of
transportation problems in time of
war. Uniform chassis construction
uniform accessories and parts, and
a complete transportation organiza-
ton are planned. The sum of 1000
francs is to be given to the purchaser
Of a truck at the time of the purchase
and a yearly sum Of 1000 francs
during the succeeding four years.

SCHWAB FORECASTS
FUTURE OF STEEL
Business Today Far from Zenith,
He Tells Friends

Baltimore, Mr., Nov. 22-Charles M.
SchWab, chairman Of the board Of di-
rectOrs of the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany, was the principal guest last
night at dinner which was perhaps
the most elaborate affair of the kind
in the history of the city. In an ad-
dress made by him he. said that the
building and construction program of
the Bethlehem Steel company, as a
whole, will involve the expenditure of
fully 100000, 900. This, he declared,
would embrace developments at Beth
lehem, Baltimore, Harrisburg and
elsewhere and would, he believed, be
the largest single construction un-
dertaking ever entered upon by
single industrial corporation.
Referring to the new enterprise at
Sparrows Point here, he said the COM
pany contemplated the ultimate en-
ployment there of from ! 5, 900 to 20,
600 men with an annual pay roll in
Baltimore of some $2O,000,000. Con-
tinuing, he said:
"Our program calls for an expend-
iture here in plant and equipment Of
about 100000. We have an annual
capacity here of about 1880, 900 tons
of steel and we will pay out in freight
rates to transportation companies en-
tering Baltimore some $40, 600, 600 a
wear. Our work at Baltimore will be
in the building of ships and produce
ing the heavier grades of steel prod
ucts. Our facilities here, when COM
pleted will embrace four new blast
furnaces with the appropriate power,
ore handling equipment, four plate
mills equipped with every modern i'm
provement, three modern merchant
bar mills, tWenty-four tin plate and
sheet mills, one wire rod mill and
sufficient open hearth and Bessemer,
blooming, slabbing and rough mills
to supply the needs of all the fore
going.
I'm the shipbuilding facilities there
will be included a new dry dock as
large as any of the Atlantic coast and
adequate to accommodate the largest
develop at Sparrows Point a steel
plant as large as any plant in the
United States.
my own belief is that we are just
as far from the zenith today as we
were when the United States Steel
corporation was formed in 1901
When the war is over there will be a
reduction in the demand for ammu-
milton steel, and there will be some
recessions in steel prices generally.
, but the domestic demands for steel
rails for building and other purposes
on1v await q more normal condition
of trade to press forward for prompt
satisfaction. A period of depression

RECOGNITION FOR
FAITHFUL SERVANTS
Prizes to Be Awarded BY Columbia
Federation of Women's Clubs In
Nation Wide Campaign.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Recognition
for faithful servants and rewards for
those with records of longest contin-
uous service are occupying the atten-
ton of Washingtonians, and the cam
paign, which is being conducted by
the District of Columbia Federation of
Women's clubs, probably will result in
O. nationwide contest A prize of $40
in gold has been offered as an award
to the domestic longest in the employ
of a single family Another prize of
SO in gold will be given to the do
nestle longest in the employ of q
family for two or more generations.
Several smaller prizes also will be
awarded. Entries in the contest are
swapping the federation's headquar-
tiers, one showing continuous service
for as long as forty-seven years, sew
eral between thirty and forty years
and many with twenty years service
record. Among the entries are four
servants of Mrs. John w. Foster, wife
of the former secretary Of state,
whose com bined service record shows
eighty-four years. All the entries are
accompanied by glowing accounts Of
the good points of the servants.
So enthusiastically has the plan
been received that a number of cities
are planning to make a similar effort
to promote efficiency by pointing out
good examples of industry and devo-
ton in the homes of the country.
Club-women in several cities have
written to members of the Washing
ton federation asking for information
about the campaign here.
There are two divisions in the con-
test-one for those long in service, to
whom the gold prizes will be awarded
and the other for those who have been
more than five years in one place, and
60 whom certificates will be Issued
signed by the federation officers.

VALUED
At $3.50 AN inch
Girl Gets Diamonds for Lengthen-
Ing Her Skirt

New York, Nov. 22.-Modesty is a
jewel. The world, with the possible
exception of certain designers of eve
ming gowns, admits it. But up to
/ yesterday no one had determined it's
deT1nite intrinsic worth.
Ask Mr.. and Mrs. George Roam, Of
Dobbs Ferry. They know. They will
tell you that modesty is worth one
diamond ring and two diamond ear
y rings, valued at $500 Margaret Stew
enson, their granddaughter has the
ring and earrings, but her new green
fall costume is at the tailor's and
when she wears it again it will be two
full inches longer in the skirt
Margaret is operator at the tele-
&phone exchange at Dobbs Ferry, and
8Iou'd be surprised what worldly ideas
: she gets on dress and things from
talking to TarrytoWn and Yonkers
every day. It was bad enough when
she talked about these at home and
shocked her grandparents, who cele-
brated their golden wedding last May.
But when she put these into form
and appeared before her guardians ar
rayed in a dark green tailored suit all
words of reprOof failed. Mr.. Roam,
unskilled in the purposes Of feminine
apparel, hoped at first that it was one
of those boudoir gowns or something,
but Margaret insisted that she was
going to wear it right out on the
street.
1t wasn't the coat, although Mrs.
Roam would have felt better if it had
been q little fuller across the bosom.
UT was the skirt! Believe it or not,
it didn't reach within two inches of
Margaret's trim ankle bones.
oh Srch Tyo,.r;bro STYLES
Now, when Mrs. Roam was young
no one thought of ankles. No lady
would admit having them, and nice
minded persons always considered
that their feet were pinned to the
bottom of their petticoats. Yet here
was Margaret threatening to expose
herself to the critical gaze of Dobbs
Ferry in a skirt which must be like
those they say chorus girls wear while
working at their brazen profession.
''I'Il give you a diamond ring, Mar
garet, if you won't wear that skirt on
the street" Mrs. Roam pleaded, after
a lengthy debate. It'll give it to you
if you'll only have that awful skirt
heightened three inches"
NO" said Margaret fatty.
IS "a diamond ring and two earrings,
then. Just three inches, Margaret"
p 1.-TWO inches" was Margaret's I'LL |
tinatum.
well, two inches, then" said Mrs
Roam, in relief.
It was a victory for the grand |
parents. But now they are wonder
ing what they will do when it comes
time for the next suit. Alterations
at $3.50 an inch are pretty expensive,
even for the sake of modesty.

DEPORT MUNETION WORKERS.
in Belgian City OF Client
Moved to Germany.

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. "a
About 1000 unemployed in the Bel
gian city of Client have been deport-
ed to Germany for work in munition
factories, according to news from the
frontier A compulsory registration
of unemployed took place a few days
since, and the present labor compul-
sion is the sequel thereto. Former
employees Of various engineering works
at Client who gave no heed to the
call, were seized in their beds at night
by German soldiers and thrown into
prison, it is alleged.
Other instances of the imposition
of forced labor have recently occurred
also at Bruges, Eekloo. near Client,
and other places. All signs indicate
that Germany Is determined, so far
as possible, to utilize the considerable
available supply of Belgian labor to
make good the ever-increasing mill

She is armed with a machine gun for

Amazon, going up into the Cassiquiare
canal. In his 1907 explorations, when
for some time it was feared that he
mad been lost, DR.. Rice pushed
through the canal region past Santa
Isabel This time he expects to finish
charting that region, in addition to
making Investigations concerning ma

 BERLIN, Dec. 26. - The answer, handed to American Ambassador Ger ard today, also contains the reply of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Fur key. It says:
 The high-minded suggestion made by the President of the United States to create basis for the establishment of a lasting peace, has been received and considered by the imperial gov ernment in the friendly spirit whicf was expressed in the Presidents com munication. The President points out that which he has at heart ano leaves open the choice of road. To the imperial government, an immedi ate exchange Of views seems to Dc the most appropriate road in order to reach the desired res<s. It begs therefore in the sense of the declara tions made on December F, whicl offered hand for peace negotiations to propose an immediate meeting oi delegates of the belligerent states. at neutral place. The imperial gov ernment is also of the opinion that the great work of preventing further wars can be begun only after the end of the present struggle of the nations. It will, when this moment shall have come. proceed with pleasure to col laborate with the United States in this exalted task
