Old Folks Find

A Boon to Those Who
Have Started Down the
Hill of Life

So many of US have been seek.
ing some really efficient remedy
to give to our old folks who are
treading in the long shadows of
life. That remedy must contain
the proper tonic qualities to re.
vitalize sluggish organs and the
blood.
That something has been found
II is Tanlac.
1t is cowardly to let debility
sap away the life and comforts
when it can be stayed. A con.
dition of debility never wears it.
self out. Instead, it gradually
grows more pronounced unless
proper measures to check it are
taken. 1t gathers force and
nOurishes itself upon the tissues
of the body. To build up those
tissues is to fight debility.
Characteristic conditions of de-
bility both in old and young are
nervousness, headaches, backaches
depression of spirits, loss of APP
petite, sleeplessness and a general
good for-nOthing feeling that
comes from lack of energy.
Tanlac is designed to combat
these conditions in many ways.
1t Is splendid tonic and tissue
builder with just the right
amout of proteids. 1t quiets
nerves and brings back restful
sleep, which is Natures first aid
to the debilitated. 1t cOrrects
stomach troubles-and there, in
nine cases out of ten, you have
the seat of nervous, debilitat-
ing ailment.
With the body recharged with
vigor, that detested, respondent
feeling passes away SO quickly
you are astonlshed and mighty
regretful that you didn't start
out to fight it long before.

Governor Stanley has declared
himself against any appropria-
ton to assist in the work of the
Illiteracy Commission at I b e
present time. In making a state
ment to this effect, the Governor
said he knew the work was of
great value to the State and that
only the poverty If the State
made him refuse to sanction any
such appropriation. He cited
several instances showing I h e
poor financial condition of Ken
lucky, and stated that the Insti-
tuition for the Feeble. Minded had
been condemned as unsafe, and
that the walls were liable to col
lapse ut any time, but still the
State had no money to make the
necessary repairs. The failure
of the Illiterscy Commission to
receive any appropriation to con-
tinue its work will be quite IA
blow to those who have put In
time and money to helping the
cause. Mrs. Cora Wilson Stew
art, who has had charge of the
work since its inception and who
has personally supervised the
many moonlight schools in the
Srate, and who has also raised all
the funds used so far in the work,
is the most affected, as she has
devoted time, energy and money
To the cause in the hope of seeing
illiteracy banished from tn e
State. Although the work will
still be continued il must be on
modified scale, so it cannot be
hoped that it will be completed
by 1920.

calling for the appointment of an
attorney TO try cases in Circuit
Court when q special judge is
wanted by the Governor for an

PRICE OF PLATINUM DROPS
Metal Which Cost SEA an Ounce
Now was 500 Last Winter.

Platinum prices are going
down. While the metal cost
500 an ounce last winter it is
now only $64 an ounce. Before
the war it was SAP an ounce, and
not so many years ago it was
cheaper than gold.
Most of the platinum comes
from Russia, whose production
fell from 10000 ounces in 1912
124, 900 in 1915. In the same
period the Columbia mines in
creased their production from
1900 ounces to 10000. The
falling off in price has not been
due to increased production, but
to the use Of substitutes in cleo.
trical and other lines.

Jersey STATE COMMITTEE
REPUDIATES BILL OF SALE
Washington State Chairman Hot In
His DenunciatiOn Of Chicago
Betrayal.

Efforts to whip the Progress
ives into line for Hughes, ac-
cording to the Chicago pro-
gramme have failed.
The stirring scenes at the
meeting of the Progressive
State Committee of New Jersey,
in Newark, when the Bull
Moose hotly resisted the at
tempts of certain leaders to
pledge the party in that state to
the Republican ticket was a
warning that Progressives are
not going to submit to the de-
struction of their principles nor
to the barter of their votes.
By a vote of 7 to 5 the State
Committee of New Jersey Pro
g~ressives repudiated the action
of the national body at Chicago,
and will not bind itself to its ac-
lions.
The managers of the Presi-
dents campaign feel that they
have every reason for gratifica-
ton with respect to the Bull
Moose and Independent vote.
Hundreds of letters and COM
munications have been received
at the National Committee head
quarters, the headquarters Of
the Woodrow Wilson Indepen-
dent League and at the White
House from Progressives, and
Republicans as well, who de-
clare their intention to vote this
year for Wilson, "the man who
has kept us out of the war"
PrOgressives should Support the
President.
Edgar C. Snyder, Chairman
of the Progressive Party in the
State of Washington has writ.
ten a flaming denunciation of the
Chicago coalition and says: %

and feel that all Progressive
should support him."
Ole Hanson, one Of the fore.
most Progressives of the West
who was a candidate for the
United States Senate in thu
state of Washington, and polleC
89,282 votes, is supporting
President Wilson and vainl,
challenging Senator Poindexte
to debate issues.
From all parts Of the countr
there are cries of consternatio
from Progressives over tn
manipulation of their leaders.
Their bitter protests at tn
treatment of their party at Oh
cago indicate clearly that the
will give their support to Pres
dent Wilson rather than to M

New Jersey Revolt.

Self Identification to Go Back
Now.
For Progressives to go back
to the Republican party now
would be dissatisfaction, and
would be an admission that they
had never been sincere in their
progressive professions, accord
ing to Edgar C. Snyder, Chair
man of the Progressive party in
the State of Washington in 1912.
Mr.. Snyder is supporting Mr..
Wilson because he, the Presi-
dent, has given us a progressive
leadership and has done much
during the last three years to
make effective the essential de-
mands of the Progressive party
platform"
Mr.. Snyder insists that if Mr..
Roosevelt was sincere four years
ago when he said that the bosses
and the special interests had
brought the Republican party to
a shameful end, then it cannot
be expected that the Progress
ives can go back now without a
clear showing that the old party
has been purified and has re-
kindled within it that fire of
lofty endeavor."

eminent over the machine of
the Republican party has never
been relaxed, but has been
strengthened and confirmed"
