p. II. II. Machinist Tried Remedy
After Remedy I'm Vain Search
For Relief
TANLAC AIDS HIM AT ONCE

IF there ever was a wonderful
remedy it is Tanlac," says George C.
Smith, of 1947 North street, Harris
burg, Pa, for it helped me after
doctors and other medicines had
failed to give me the relief l longed
for.
II had a sort of eczema all over
my face and body and it itched so
that it almost drove me crazy and
/ couldn't find anything that gave
me the slightest relief.
Doctors told me that it was
caused by the oils from the machin-
cry as / was working as a machinist
in the P. r. r. Shops, SO 1 quit
my job and got another on a street
car, but the itching didn't get any
better and l was almost insane from
the torture.
Then one day 1 decided I'd take
a crack at Tanlac and see what that
would do. for I'd heard a lot of won.
derful reports about it and l sort of
had a hunch.
well sir, believe me, it did the
work. The second dose brought re-
lief and it was only a matter of
days until my skin was all healed
up, the itching stopped and the
eczema gone entirely.
mo other medicine could ever
give me relief from the itching but
Tanlac quickly freed me from the
whole trouble. l can't begin to
praise it strong enough"
Tanlac, the famous reconstrnctive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store where the

statement given to the Associated Press
today denies stories appearing In Danish
and other foreign newspapers to the effect
that the German government had indi-
tecty communicated its peace terms to
Washington. or that Wilhellnstrasse even

Of sounding sentiment in the United
States.
The German foreign Office further in
formed the Associated Press, that the
rumors were promptly discredted on the
strength of the peace terms ascribed t.
Germany and further by the fact that
there was no occasion for Germany to az
dress the Washington government IN this
respect.

PEACE RUMORS
Germany May Be Plan
ming Another Adroit
Move
Report Persists Kaiser Is Abandoning
Claims Of Supremacy and Control
Over Belgium

London, Sept. 1s.-The food of So
called peace rumors which the German
censor is permitting to pass in lead
ing German newspapers convinces the
London press and public that Berlin is
preparing home opinion for another
adroit peace maneuver. which prob
ably will take definite shape before the
snow flies.
First came the alleged British peace
offer, which despite official denial is
still being commented upon excitedly
in Germany. Now much fuel has been
added to the agitation by the report
that the German government has
abandoned claims of supremacy and
control over the territory and popula-
ton Of Belgium. In addition there
are all sorts of rumors regarding the
German answer to tire Pope. a
strange thing about the whole affair is
that the German censor appears t. ne
permitting the newspapers 10 discuss
the matter freely. but. so far as is
known. none Of the discussions are
founded on more substantial author
lty than the indefinite I'VE under
stand or we have received informa-
ton The fact remains however that
the German government as represent
ed by the censor does not object to
these statements.
The general opinion in official and
diplomatic quarters for some time has
been that Germany would make an
other peace move before cold weather
comes. and very likely in the direction

HIGH WOOL COST
Affects Purses of Pa
triotic Feminine Knit
tiers

New York, Sept 1s.-Femininie knit
tiers Of articles of wearing apparel for
soldiers and sailors are beginning to
worry about the high cost of being pa
triotic An increase of % cents a hank
in the price of wool today put it at the
dollar mark. Since April the price
per pound has risen from $50 to 81. 40
to the Red Cross and other relief or
CARNATIONS that are supplied by the
manufacturers and wholesalers at the
lowest figures.
In all the relief societies the policy
prevails of asking the knitter Of wool
to return her finished garment to the
society. Consequently if the knitter
wishes to present her own particular
hero with something of her own maxi
ing she cannot set wool a the re-
duced prices offered by the relief so
cieties.
Manufa cturers attribute the rise
partly u the fact that the govern
ment nov is using much raw wool for
uniforms and to the higher wages
paid mill labor.
