COUNTRY Not ACQUAINTED
WITH ITtLY'S POINT OF VIEW

The maim purpose that the Italian
representatives hope TO accomplish is
understood to bc q closer understand
states and Italy. l, is realized that
with Italy's point Of view and objects
in the present war. Experts OF the
Foreign Office have been sent over TO
remove any misconceptions and TO
stimulate closer sympathy in the
struggle.
Conferences of members Of the mis-
sion with representatives of the United
States will be similar TO those with the
British and French war missions
Their work will have TO do principally
with obtaining railway equipment. coal
and iron and Hecl 1t is likely also
that another loan will be welcomed y

II is probable that the mission. at

ian embassy. the mission comes not

Italian people for Americas entry into
the war. but for many acts Of charity
and bcnevulencc extended the italian
soldiers from the beginning OF hostii-

Information will be sought from the
mission by American of1cals about
conditions of the fighting in the Alps
for this battle ground between Aus
trians and Italians has developed many
striking and important changes in mill
itary methods quite unknown in the
northern and eastern campaigns. Naval
operations in the Adriatic and Mediter-
ranean are conducted on different
basis from the naval combats in the
colder northern waters OF Europe.
The Italian commissioners are de-
sirous Of consulting freely with Amer
lean officials regarding coo operation il,
dealing with shipping and subsistence
problems. the adjustment Of rates OF

nurse whose home is at 1888 North
Second street, Harrisburg, Pa, says,
when 1 say that Tanlac should be
be taken by everyone, who is suffer-
ing from stomach trouble, or who is
rundown, / am, speaking from ex-
perience and not from hearsay.
For l myself was a sufferer from
a particularly distressing form of
stomach trouble and 1 was relieved
by this famous Master Medicine.
used to get up every morning with
a terrible headache, my stomach was
so sour that it would send a bitter
taste into my mouth and when l
moved around everything would get
black before my eyes.
II would often get weak, dizzy
spells when 1 stopped over to pick
anything up. could eat scarcely any,
thing, for If L did I was almost cer-
tain to get an attack of acute indi-
gestion that would affect my heart
and almost tie me in a knot.
"Tanlac was recommended to me
and / can truthfully say that it gave
almost instant relief. Since taking it
my headaches have disappeared; the
trouble in my stomach seems to have
been corrected for l no longer have
that SourneSs or pain. / found that
Tanlac was a splendid blood purifier
and a fine tonic for the whole sys-
tenn. In fact I found it more effica-
cious than any other remedy that
have ever used"
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here

Capitol Hill Notes

Expect Big Vote. = Primary cleo
tions held throughout Pennsylvania
yesterday are believed by people at
the State Capitol to have brought
out one of the largest primary votes
in an "off year" in long time. The
numerous judicial and municinol
contests caused heavy registration in
most of the cities ana the enron ,nht
in boroughs and townships has been
reported as large. People At th
Capitol expect that the returns of
the primary will show large figures
in cities. Considerable interest was
aroused in a dozen or more judicial
contests and for practically every one
of the twenty-five nominations to be
made in seventeen counties for asso-
ciate judges there was a battle. The
new bureau of municipal affairs will
ask officers of. all cities and boroughs
for information on nominations and
special issues such as city or borough
manager propositions and bond is
sues.
Hearing is Due.-A hearing on the
proposed elevator code for the state
will be held here on Friday, at which
criticisms and suggestion can be pre-
sented A further hearing on the
scaffolding code is expected to be
held next month.
Disease Declines.-Cooler weather
is bringing a decline in the number
of cases of infantile paralysis re-
ported. It is expected that the con-
ditIons will become normal soon.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
HEAVY EXPRESS
CROWDS DSSTATION
Adams Officials Are Doing
Their Utmost to Keep
Shipments on Move

Express business has crowded out
the local forces. No longre is the
main building at Fourth and Chest
nut streets adequate for taking care
OF the received traffic. No less than
20 cars with express are sent from
this city daily. Sometimes the num-
ber reached as high as 80. This is in
addition to the business handled on
all loca ltrains.
. In order that the express may be
classified without delays, spaces have
been marked off in the main sheet
at the PENNSYLVANIA railroad station.
Points showing where the express
shipments are to go and from where
they come are marked in chalk on
the big steel pillars of the train shed.
Piles of Express Goods
Along the main station building
and at every available place on the
platform trucks loaded fifth express,
and stacks of shipments, many as
high as a two story house may be
seen daily. Night and day forces are
on the move every minute. One
track has been assigned for use Of
the Adams Express Company ex-
clusively. Cars are loaded for var
ious points on this track.
Shippers of live stock, poultry and
pel1ShaDIe goodS are cautioned about
the risk the ytake. Sometimes de-
lays prevent the watering of poultry
and live stock. Recently two val
liable dogs died because of inability
10 give them attention. Some live
stock including pigs can do without
water for 2S hours. If the express
company is unable to deliver like
stock within the time required, it
will not be handled. Everything
possible is being done to prevent a
more scIious tieup.
