Highway Department, every owner of
a motor vehicle and every dealer in
motor vehicles is required to register

RULING RESORT IS
 WINTER PLACE FOR
 GERMAN RESIDENTS
Chinese Government Sends Germans and Austrians to Favorite Resort and Refuses to Let Them Leave.

RULING, China, Oct. 20.-Foreign residents of this mountain resort are indignant over the action of the Chinese government, which has con verted the resort into a refuge for Germans and Austrians. The govern mcnt issued an order permitting Ger mans and Austrians to enter here, but forbidding them to leave. As the liv- fog expenses are low and many cot tages are available, Germans have rented these and are converting them into winter homes.
 In consequence Ruling will be strictly a German colony at the con clusioH of the summer tourists sea son. This is especially displeasing to enemies of Germany who live here the year round, and may result in aban. donment of the foreign school, hospi' tai and sanitorium maintained here for missionaries and other foreigners in the Yangtze valley.
 China failed to interne enemy sub iects at the time of her declaration of war upon Germany and Austria be cause she did not desire to assume the expense which would have been involved in preparing camps for enc. my subjects.

ANNUAL REPORT 0F
 DISTRICTS RELIEF
 WORK MADE PUBLIC
Miss Esther Cummings Makes Her Annual Report to the Board of Directors of War ren District Relief Assn.

AtIthe annual meeting of the War ren District Relief association, held on October 8, the financial statement and q report of the work for the year ending September l were given by the general secretary, Miss Esther Cummings.
 The financial statement disclosed an expenditure of S2111.40 in connec- | ton with the regular relief work dur i ing the year and an expenditure of s1279.05 for special relief work from July 12 to September l, on account of the labor troubles in the district from that time. this latter amount having since been refunded to the association by the Citizens Protective league.
 Under the regular work of the as sociation 59 families were given nec- esfary aid, 2S of which were Mexicans, employment having been secured for both men and women on more than 70 occasions. Out of the 59 families mentioned, upwards of 40 had been left with children to support, either on account of the husbands illness, death, or desertion of the family, there having been IA cases of desertion. Ap- proximately 900 articles of clothing, mostly donated clothing, were supplied to various families and individuals. Fifty-five cases of illness were giver more or less aid, there having been 16 tubercular cases among this number. Transportation was supplied in 22 cases, chiefly on account of illness. when such people were sent back to their friends or to a more suitable eli mate for them.
 About fifty families were given sup plies at the Christmas season, the Elks' lodge providing for 13 families out side of the Mexicans. The Ladies of Elkdom and Woman's club, as well as a number of individuals, gave the association financial aid for its Christ mas work.
 After July 12 the names of 301 fami- lies were recorded as having received special aid through the Warren Dis trict Relief association up to and in cluding the month of September on account of the existing labor troubles leaving such families detsitute.
 It was found that these labor trol bles increased the expenses of the association very considerably. even though a special fund was provided by the Citizens Protective league to hell ali families who were left without sup bort. as a number of women who had formerly been supporting their fami lies by doing work for individuals were thrown out of employment for the time being. But such cases were also given whatever aid. was consid cred necessary.
 The association thanks all who have helped in the work or relief in any way during the year. A detailed state. ment and report is being sent to each member of the association by the sec retary.

COULDN'T WALK ABOUT
 HOUSE WITHUOT.H HELP.
Texas Man Took Electric and Antitoxin Treatment for Rheumatism Without Re- lief-Gains 20 Pounds on Tanlac.

1 had dropped down in weight from 170 pounds to 127 and had little hope of ever getting well, but have gained at least 20 pounds in the past SO days and my wonderful recovery makes me want to tell everybody what Tanlac has done for me" This re- markable statement was made by A. w. Bruce, S25 Avenue G, Galveston, Texas, a few days ago.
 "On the 17th day of last June" he continued, "I was stricken with rheu- matism is my left foot, I distinctly remember it was the 17th because I was fixing to go to a double header baseball game at Houston the next day. Well, was taken down and the trouble was pronounced a very stub born case of inflammatory rheuma- tism.
 q can't tell you in words how much I suffered, but my wife can tell you what I went through and what she went through nursing me. l tried cleo trical treatment, but it did no good. took the antitoXin treatment for rheumatism and did everything else. but nothing helped me and finally was told there was nothing more that could be done for me
 q suffered so day and night that couldn't sleep or move myself and my wife got so worn-out she had to get her sister and her sisters husband to come and sit up with me at night. | Then l went to Marlin, Texas, and had to be carried down and put in an automobile and on the train, and when they started with me never expect ed to come back alive. l stayed there | three weeks and took the full course of treatment and baths. I believe l did get a little relief from this, but | 1t was hardly noticeable.
 "When I came home I just could manage to hobble around a little on crutches. On nice days, with the help of my wife and the crutches, I could get from my room to the porch. l had no appetite at all, what forced myself to eat did me harm in place of good and it was alarming the way I was losing weight
 Just about this time a friend told my wife about Tanlac and had taken so many different .fnds of medicines that I had no faith in anything and it irritated me for anybody to suggest another. But my wife insisted on me trying Tanlac, so we telephoned the drug store and had them send out a bottle. I took this bottle and another without feeling any benefit and I tell you I was absolutely discouraged and wanted to give it up. But we got a third bottle and on this one I began to get better and when I finished it l was so much better I was able to | walk to the drug store myself and get the fourth. l have now taken six bottles and I am happy man. All my rheumatic pain is gone, my appe- tite is splendid and I am resting fine every night. l have already gained at least 20 pounds and I am building up in weight and strength right along. | My recovery from my awful suffering | is enough to make me praise Tanlac and I am glad to tell everybody what it has done for me"
 Tanlac is sold in Bisbee by J. M. Ball, in Douglas by Douglas Drug Co.,, in Paradise by G. A. Walker, in Bowie by Bowie Drug Store, in San Simon by J. B. Cooke, and in Wilcox by A. A. Nicholson, and in Lowell by Lowell Drug Go. Adv
