breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give
a teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in a few hours all the
foul. constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. When the little system
is full of cold, throat sore, has stom-
ach-ache. diarrhoea, indigestion,

Fine Tonic For Run

piness SO quickly that it is hardly

II was all run down and my system

easily and then would have an awful
time getting rid of it for it would
hang on and hang on until l would
be worried almost sick.
II was constipated all the time and

headache. In fact l was just about
as miserable as l could be and just
sort of dragged myself through my
daily round of household duties
II could never seem to get rested
but always felt tired out even when
1 first got up in the mornings"
II guess my son must have had his
eye on me for one day not so long ago
he brought me home a bottle of Tan
lac and persuaded me to start taking
il. / did it just to please him but, my
goodness, it helped me so much that
1 just kept right on with it and now
L can truthfully say that it has freed
me from all my afflictions."
MY headaches are all gone, 1 feel
bright and happy and have a splen-
did appetite. My whole system has
been built up by this splendid tonic.
1 certainly think that every one who
is run down should take it,

tonic, is now being introduced here at

Increasing Cold Is
Hampering Operations

London, Jan. 20. - The increasing
cold is progressively hampering and
sometimes halting movements both ON
land and on sea in Europe. Several
Spanish and Swedish harbors in the
Cattegat and Baltic are getting

quantity of ice around, reaching to
very considerable distance\ seaward.
Some small vessels are ice-bound off

Schwab Pays President
Grace $1,OOO,OO0 Yearly

Atlantic City, n. j., Jan. 90. -
Charles NJ. Schwab, chairman of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, who is
at the Traymore with Mrs. Schwab,
paid q high tribute to-day to Eugene
Grace, the new president of the Beth
lehem company. Mr.. Schwab said:
MIR. Grace is a fine fellow and very
able. Il have guaranteed to pay him
$1,OOO,000 year, which is rather re-
markable in view of the fact that ten
years ago he received but a very small
sum in a subordinate capacity.
Il don't care to say anything about
business.
Il do not think that America will
supply most of the steel for Europe
during the period of reconstruction, for
the reason that they will make most
OF their own steel over there. Both
England and Germany are large steel
producers"
Mr.. Schwab spent a very active day.
He tok long chair ride and made a
tour of the city in an automobile.
Although he declined to discuss the
subject, Mr.. Schwab intimated that he
expected to land the shell contract for
the navy which Hadfields, of England

berg came to a pause some months
ago. The Turkish troops apparently
are the main defenders of the central
powers line in this region and Berlin
declares that they have been success
full in beating off the assaults made by
strong masses of Russians.
The Franco Belgian front is also
breaking out into activity at many
points. Berlin reports persistent eff
forts by the French to recapture their
lost positions at Hill 304, northwest of
Verdun. A surprise attack, which
failed, was followed by three assaults
after the regulation artillery prepa-
ration, but these are declared all to
have broken down without the slight
est gain.
May Start Alsace Drive
The possibility pointed to by recent
developments that an offensive move
ment in Alsace was in contemplation
by the Germans has not been lost
sight of and to-day's reports bring
further evidences of somewhat pro-
nounced activity in this sector of the
French front.
Numerous patrol clashes there are
recorded in the French statement,
While in one case something more
than raid/was attempted. Paris says,
an advance being made on one of the
French trenches at Hartmansweiler-
Kopf. This, according to Paris, was
easily beaten back. Berlin, however,
classes it with the other raiding OPP
erations and announces that it re-
suited in the capture of thirty-five
prisoners and machine gun.
The British front in France is also
lively sector. The reported capture
by the British late last week of an i'm
portant position near LIE Transley was
followed yesterday by fresh assaults
delivered by British troops north of
Armentieres. These failed. with Sc
we're losses, according to Berlin, while
southwest of lie Transley the Germans
captured q British post
