TERRA GOTTA RATE
HAS Been CHANGED

A special telegram to the Courier
reports that the interstate commerce
sommission has ordered . suspension
Of the Southern Pacific's proposed
rates on terra Gotta from Oakland
and other California points to Grants
Pass.
The terra Gotta work on the new
court house will be finished tonight
or tomorrow. Judge Gillette and
the contractor doing the terra Gotta
work are both out Of the city: but It
is believed that this change. coming
after the terra Gotta to be used In
the court house construction has all
reached the city, Is Of no material
consequence, and is probably the re-
scinding Of a special rate granted for
the court house shipment.

AN UNUSUAL TALE
Her Son is Rosy.Chesked and
Healthy After 3 Years.
Praises Tanlac.
WANTS HER STORY
TO APPEAR IN PRINT

soon after Mrs. S. Clark, of Mont
chauin. had visited the Tanlac Man az
the Miller Drug Store and said; Il
am grateful for what Tanlac mas zone
for my daughter, Miss Georgia Clark'
and want to recommend 1t to all
young girls who may be sunerlng as
my daughter was" similar story, as
told in the following, was offered by
Mrs. +. NJ. Replogle, of Richardson
Park:
From my garb you may see, friend
that | am a Quakeress. And only
gratitude moves me to indorse Tanlac
for publication. Now friend, | want
YOU TO put this story in the paper so
other mothers of sickly children may
learn what Tanlac has done for my
baby.
when my three-year-Old boy was
first given Tanlac he was almost help
less. He was so weak that when he
tried to walk he was able only to
totter few steps before falling From
birth my son was a weakling. Though
he was treated and prescribed for,
nothing seemed to help him Hardly
any food he ate gave nourishment.
Nervousness deprived him OF proper
sleep and rest
"Now, since taking less than two
bottles OF Tanlac, a wonderful change
has been made in my little boy. He
has a fine appetite and sleeps we'll.
Today he is rosy checked and healthy
and ! left him playing horse with
the other little children.
MY husband is also taking Tanlac
with splendid results Mrs. Replogle
concluded enthusiastically.
The people of Wilmington and VI
cinity know we'll the honesty of
QuaSers and even those inclined to
be skeptical toward Tanlac, for rea-
son that it is advertised will admit
the merits Of Tanlac as proven by the
story Of Mrs. Replogle, to say nothing
of the stories of like nature volunteer
ed by scores of well-known men and
women right in this city.
The public is warned against buying
Tanlac from any dealer except duly
authorized agents. Genuine Tanlac is
sold in Wilmington only at the MIL

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty Of thick. beau
tiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely
To do this, get about four ounces OF
ordpary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dand-
ruff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.

Twice a year department stores go
through a process known as taking
account of stock" Through this
means they clear out OF their stores all
articles which are old and not likely
to sell. 1t is proving an excellent plan.
II is always wise to clear ones self
of all that encumbers and It is conse-
quently an excellent idea for indl-
viduals to follow the example of de-
partment store managers by taking
stock" of themselves to see just what
they must get rid of, and what they
must acquire to pay happy dividends.
Therefore, stop and consider mo-
ment. and take stock Of yourself! See
how much real gold you have, and now
much stage money only!
Self analysis is a very disillusion-
ing process. It frequently robs one Of
halos and other self-crowning lights
and It usually leaves one pale, both
in thought and expression. But, even
though it does rob one Of superficial
light and color, It nevertheless dispels
the mists OF conceited thought ano
adds to ones clarity OF vision anc
strength of purpose.

Edison is off on another insomnia
spree" He is working so hard now

Orange, thinking up things that might
be useful to Uncle Sam for war pur-

nor sleep.
These orgies of mental labor are in

one is the worst the inventor ever has
had
A pacifst at heart, he has spent all
his life fashioning things for the
betterment of mankind. But now that
his country is threatened. he is in a
fighting mood. He is going to fight
for his country with his brains.
Edison's friends are sure that when
he climbs again on the reason wagon
he will reveal some new and revOlu-
tionary weapon of offenso that will
iabbergaster even the inventive
Teuton.
Il is impossible to interview Edi-
son these times. Because he is chair
