'CATARRH MOST
PREVALENT HERE
Indoor Worker More Susceptible to
Common Diseases Than Others.


Probably the most distressing and
prevalent disease to which Americans
are heirs is catarrhal affection of the
mucous membranes. According to
medical authorities the indoor worker
is more susceptible and is the worst
sufferer from catarrhal conditions
of which there are many kinds.
Catarrh of the stomach and kid
neys is one of the most common
causes of dyspepsia and Bright's dis.
ease, and catarrhal conditions of the
nose and throat often lead to deaf
ness. Nine out of ten cases of deaf.
ness can be traced to catarrh, it is
said,
Frequently the lungs become af.
fected' by the extension of catarrhal
inflammation by way of the bronchial
tubes to the lung substance. 49,
The mental and physical state of
the catarrh sufferers is, indeed, very
unfortunate, and it is surprising to
know what an immense number of
people among those Who reside, in
such cities as Stanford are suffer
ing from this almost universal mall
ady when they believe something
else is the cause of their trouble.
The symptoms of catarrh are: Of
fenSive breath, constant shifting,
discharge from the nose, headaches,
full head, pains in the stomach, un-
sound digestion, loss of appetite,
broken sleep, and a great liability to
catching colds and sore threats.
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, was designed to relieve just
these conditions. Thousands of men
and women have unhesitatingly &C
knowledged the benefits they have
derived through this Master Medi-
cine.
Tanlac restores lost appetite, re-
heves smiling, discharge from the
nose, headaches, and stomach pains,
and will assist in the assimilation of
food and bring back sound sleep, ac-
cording to thousands who have real
lied the benefits from this wonderful
Tanlac is tonic of rare properties,
an appetizer and general invigorant
designed to rid the system of con-
gestion, tone up the stomach, over
come Indigestion, headaches, back
aches, REPRESENTATION of food, ner-
vousness, dizziness, ailments of the
and liver, and the complaints
that are so common to the half-sick,
debilitated men and women of today.
+ Tanlac may be obtained now in
Stanford at sPenny's drug store,
where it is being especially intro
duced and its merits explained by the
Tanlac Man. Bel
Tanlac may be obtained at the fol-
lowing nearby cities: Moreland, Alb

one Of the disadvantages of Russia
Although this land is ten times the
size of Germany it has less railway
mileage For the most part the RUS
sian railroads are far flung trunk lines
running on uncertain tracks. The
Land of tho Bear nowhere has any
thing corresponding to the interweav-
ing railway nets of Germany. Trans
portation in most parts of Russia.
even in time of peace, is both difficult
and dangerous, for even the main
roads leading into the cities are very
bad.
Railways OF France and Italy.
Franco has II fairly good railway
system, but few of the tracks arc
double and the loading and UNLOADING
platforms are small, Few improve
mcnts have been made in recent wears
as France has not kept pace with her
Teutonic neighbor in being ready"
Italy has some twelve thousand
miles of railroad so laid down AS 10

French "75s." His present plan is to
have 1900 of these guns ready for any
sudden outbreak of war. Here also
has been constructed Uncle Sans first
armored motor cars. They are 14,OOO
pound speed trucks, big steel ma
chimes fairly bristling with automatic
guns, the largest of which protrude

driven by u 70-H. =. motor and is
capable of a speed of from 35 to so
miles per hour. This is but one type
of Uncle Sans new fighting machines
of which the country at large as yet
knows nothing. But to show how in
adequate the munition supply of the
United states really Is, these 1900
guns which are to be stored up would
only equip an army of 100000 men.

a dam thrown across the Mississippi

shore. 1t costs Uncle sam just .0036
per kilowatt hour to make 3-inch guns

tin cups. As the average family in
the United States pays 10 cents per
kilowatt hour for all of the electricity
it uses, the cost of this Rock Island

seen in its true perspective. Is it any

Near Great Mcssaba Range.

Iron is the principal material Of
munition production and but a few
hundred miles TO the north is the
great Mcssaba iron range. Montana
copper is comparatively near at hand.

arrive and depart with a prQmptness
which operated faVorably in the quick
transportation of troops and aided
materially in the mobilization of the
German army, which. as everyone
knows, was accomplished in a few
days.
While the whole Empire Is a perfect
network of railways, the most impor-
tant lines are those which cross the
country from the east to the west.
Tho Rhine is crossed by fourteen lines
OF track between Vessel, near the
Holland frontior--a line which also
leads to Belgium and Basic near the
Swiss border. Railroads run on each
side of the river and connect with
these cross lines--a fact which makes
1t possible for Germany to send her
troops to any point in the shortest
possible time. Other lines come in
from all parts of Germany, connect
ing with the main line, and while OF
secondary importance by themselves

gan Canada was busy building new
railroads, but her workmen laid down
their tools at the call of the Mother
Country and the work for the time
stopped. The main part OF troop car
rying fell to the Canadian Pacific line.
1t was during the tourist season, yet
without putting these travellers to the
slightest Inconvenience the railroad
moved thousands of men from West
crn Canada TO the training camp at
Nalcartier, near Quebec. These troop
trains were equipped with kitchens so
that it was not necessary TO stop for
food en- route. In Australia and In
dia there was also quick mobilization
by the aid of railroads.
Bulgarin's Part.
With the entrance of Bulgaria into
the war the railways continued to play
an important part. The main rail
roads TO tho south run through Ser
bin. The other road leads through
Roumania and cannot be used At pres
ont as that country has refused to al
low ammunition to Turkey to pass
through its territory. So the line
through Serbia Is required to carry the
munitions OF war from Austria to the
Turk and the Bugarians aided ma
terially in putting through the project.

Every bit of power on Arsenal island,
down to pumping water for the Off
GERS homes. is of this same turbine
generated electricity. This is the only
water-powcr plant Unclc Sam opcr-
atcs. Since the Arsenal was founded
in 1862 it has cost the government
S1,969,209. II is valued at 100000.
The power dam has ~ openings Of
which only IS are now in use. These
IS openings with present inadequate
equipment produce 1000 horsepower
With modern machinery, which could
be installed at an expense Of $4,000,
there could be produced 1000 horse
power. This would reduce the cost to
.0019 per kilowatt hour. The cost Of
producing power from Il modern steam
plant at another government arsenal
is one cent per kilowatt hour. If the
entire 40 openings in the dam were
equipped with modern machinery o.
900 horsepower at the same low unit
could be generated.
Labor ContCntcd.
Labor conditions in the industrial
community surrounding the Arsenal
are excellent. There has never been
a strike. The government now has in
its employ over 1000 mon. The high
water mark on the payroll was reached
during the Spanish American war
when the list rose within a few weeks
from 500 to 1900 men.
