the Wells Fargo Express Company,

Of course, proved his ability and in

This is the sort tf man whose en-

ii is matter Of pride that men Of
this calibre endorse Tnalac.
"I feel just like good friend felt
low who may be suffering" Mr.. Pal
n1cr said, and that is the spirit which
moves such men and women. They
want others to share their good for
tune.
"For the last six years have felt
myself slipping from the path of
health" he continued. "Indigestion
and catarrh had attacked me. My ap-
petite became poor, my food did not
taste right and / would suffer after

would get up feeling achy and dull. l
knew it would not do for me to keep
on that way. Get Tanlac,' friend
told me, and took his tip. Now I am
entirely well of my troubles. 1 don't
feel any more indigestion and my ca
tarrh has disappeared. I can eat any
thing without fear Of it hurting me.
My sleep could not be better. Tanlac
has done the work for me and l give
my statement now to Others. Get on
the Tanlac Special and start for Well

For themselves, the well known
men and women who endorse Tanlac
would not talk, but the bond of SYM
pathy between such people is strong.
Once relieved themselves, they want
others to know of this new recon-
structive system purifier and stomach

CHINA STILL FIGHTING OPIUM

ing ~ opium hidden away from the
authorities still continues in China,
and another bonfire, the sixth of it's

of this kind will eventually prove the
determination Of the majority of the
Chinese to rid themselves of this

WINTER PREVENTS CLASH
OF THE ARMIES
War Activities Confined to Raids and
Artillery Duels because of
Weather
AERIAL BATTLES IN ITALY
The Peace Negotiations Between Boil
sheviki and Huns at Brest-
LitOvSk Continue

Winter has settled down in ear
nest over all the important war
fronts and beyond artillery actions,
which are being carried out over very
limited sections, there has been little
fighting either in the west or in the
east.
Only patrol encounters are reported
along the British lin lines and artil-
lery ACTON at two points on the French
front. In Italy the terrific artillery
and infantry fighting has given way
to aerial warfare, which, however,
though it is spectacular, has little di-
rect bearing on the progress of the
campaign, when confined to combats
between individuals or squadrons.
For nearly a month now the fronts
in France and Belgium have been al
most snow-bound. Thus the long
awaited German offensive, with the
heavy rcinforccmcntS which Germany
transferred from the Russian front
to the west, has been delayed for
weeks, if not possibly for months.
Peace Negotiations
The peace negotiations between the
Bolshcviki and rhc representatives of
the Quadruple Alliance at Brcst-
Litovsk continue, but without definite
results. Another delay in the assem-
bling of the constituent assembly is
likely because Of the issuance Of a
decree at Pctrograd providing for new
elections to replace members Of the
constituent assembly, who are deemed
not fit to represent the interest Of
the Workmcn and peasants.
According to reports from the Rus
sian capital, Northern Russia is to re-
ceive ample food supplies from Uk-
rama through the reconciliation of the
Bolshcyiki and the Ukranians. 1t is
also mi-offically reported from
Pctrograd that the Bolshcviki have
taken control of Novo Tcherkask, cap
ital Of the province of the Don Cos
sacks.
TO Preserve Communication
The London Daily Mail reports the
establishment by the British govern
ment of informal relations with Max
i'm Litvinoff. recently appointed by
the Bolsheviki government at Rus
sian ambassador at London The ex-
planation Of this, according to The
Mail, is that possibly Lcnine and
Trotzky, if they retain the de facto
power, hight eventually give heed to
the counsel of the Allied governments,
and it is not desirable that communi-
cation with Petrograd be cut off.

COAL CURTAILMENT TO
BEGIN THIS WEEK
Fuel Administrators Will Cut Down

Industries
SUFFERING IN BIG CITIES
AppOrtionment of Coal Will be Left
Largely to the State Fuel
Administrators

Washington, Jan. 13.-Curtailment
of coal to the less essential industries
in Eastern cities as means of re-
lieving the fuel famine will be begun
early this week. Reports today to
the fuel administration told of contin-
ued widespread suffering in New
York, Philadelphia and other cities.
Apportionment of coal will be left
largely to federal fuel administrators
in the states in which the supplies are
short. They will work on general in
structions from Fuel Administrator
Garfield to supply first householders,
and next industries producing war
materials. Many unessential indus
tries probably will be required to shut
down at least three days week un-
til the fuel crisis is over
Production of bituminous coal in
the first week of January returned
almost to the level of early December
before the severe weather began to i'm
pede operations. The average daily
production was 1,847,0O0 tons, ac-
cording to the United States geologi-
cal survey. Production Of beehive coke
amounted to $4,000 tons. Losses for
the anthracite industries were larger
than in either soft coal or coke, the
weeks shipments amounting to only
27,517 cars.

Drives Out Malaria, Builds Up System

The Old Standard general STRENGTHENING tonic,
GRoVES TASTELEsS chill TONIC, drives out
Malaria enrlches the blood and builds up the sys.
The Washington times., 1918-07-28
By Mrs. Lydig HOyt.

THERE is no question whatever in my
mind that one of the most vital
things that can be done by the
American woman in the great world crisis
is to aid actively the Government in its
work of upbuilding men who have been
disabled in the war. The work of recon-
structing buildings has already been
started in France; men of affairs in this
country are already beginning to lay the
foundation for a restored world trade; and
the time is at hand TO decide in what way
we best can help the men who have made
the big sacrifice when they come back
shattered in mind and body
To be Of any real assistance to these
men we must above all be level-headed and
practical in our attitude of mind with re-
gard TO them. We must try to make other
people realize the different status of Grip
pies to-day as compared to that of a few
years ago, and In order to do this intelli-
gently we must read of the extraordinary
things men in France are doing in trades
Under the powers of modern surgery
and the force of modern education wonder
full things are possible for the man who
comes back lacking an arm or a leg Once
upon a time he would have been a hopeless
figure, facing a life of helpIessness and de-
pendence on others. To-day he can be
made into a better and more useful man
to society and himself than, perhaps, he
was before; and the purpose of this article
is to try to impress on the women of Amer
ica, and on the men, too the vast Oppor-
tunity the Government offers to them and
the absolutely inestimable benefit which
they may help achieve for the nation and
the individual by some thoughtful help in
this important and constructive war work.
1t is a matter of common information
that already wounded soldiers have been
The Washington times., 1918-07-28

brought back from France. and we know
that large buildings are being taken by
the Government as hospitals for them and
that they will get the best care that is
possible while there. But the big question
for these men-and it should be for us, too
is what will become of them when the
doctors work is ended.
The Red Cross Institute for Crippled and
Disabled Men, at No. 81 Fourth avenue,
New York, through its classes in different
trades and its employment bureau for plac-
ing the men after they are qualified for
positions, hopes TO be one of the impor-
tant factors in answering this question.
1t is true that Sir Henry Havelock told
the gallant men who had saved India to
England that "a grateful country" would
never forget their labors. privations and
sufferings. Though Sir Henry meant what
he said he failed to carry out his promises
and it seemed as if the men were indeed
forgotten. But we must remember that at
that time the entire war-making possibiI-
ity Of kings war chest was but a mere
bagatelle compared to the funds that are
to-day in the hands of the Government,
and through the generosity of the people
in the hands of the Red Cross, for taking
The Washington times., 1918-07-28

In many Of the cases that have come to
the attention of the authorities. the task
of reclamation is one of readjusrment of
mind and occupation altogether, which
calls for patient effort.
Thus a man who has lost a leg and
whose former trade was one which was
impossible for him to relearn under the
new conditions will have to begin and
learn an entirely new trade, using his
hands. 1t will be simply a question of a
little more patience and probably slight
ly longer training.
AS yet, Of course, the institute has not
had opportunity to help many soldiers or
sailors, but it has already started the
wonderful work with men crippled in in
dustry, also a most important question.
In that way they will be well on the road
to being entirely prepared to be Of assist
ance to the men from "Over There" when
they do come home.
In closing should like to say that 1t is
to the women the men are going to look
for encouragement and moral support
when they return. And l feel that every
one Of us who has anyone dear to US on
the other side should be preparing our
selves now to meet whatever may come
in the way that will be best for them and
will give them the strength and courage
to bear whatever their trials may be. In
other words, there must be no hysteria on
our part, but sympathetic and INTELLIGENT
encouragement to them to take I'D the
threads Of their life as nearly as possible
where they dropped them. 1t is after an
but small thing for US to do.
The Washington times., 1918-07-28

the nicely adjusted machinery for
doing almost everything in the world,
from the making of the finest part
of watch to the knitting of sock or the
hammering of a huge steel casting, the
possibilities for restoring damaged men
TO industry will not be very plain. But
there al many of you who do know about
these things. and you will grasp readily
the scientific improvements that are going
so far toward making the reclamation of
the wounded a matter merely of effort and
patient endeavor.
When a man comes from hospital with
merely a stump where there was once an
arm he has had all that the doctors can
do for him. That is where the Institute
for the Disabled and Crippled takes up the
thread.
In the first place, mechanical arms and
limbs are now being made with such sur
prising effect that the cripple may use
them as well as make them serve in an
ornamental capacity. In the case of
natural arm the muscles are worked
through tendons that contract and re-
lease. It is not necessary for the tendons
to be operated by the muscles of the arm.
The muscles of the back of shoulder will
do the work If they can be properly con-
nected so that the modern artificial arm
takes this suggestion and has the muscles
of the back and shoulders both on steel
wires, or rawhide tendons, which link up
elbow. wrist and finger with a new mus
cular combination. Springs supply the
reaction for the "tendops."
Great Britain Rights Reserved
The Washington times., 1918-07-28

1t thus is possible that a man who has
lost both of his arms may take the place
of a bookkeeper, and many of them have
done this very thing, handling the pen and
the pages with as much skill as one might
wish to see.
There are many cases in France to-day
of men who are earning higher wages since
the loss of their arm or leg than before.
One of the causes of this may be that they
had not been so well trained in their
trade prior to their disability as they have
been in whatever trade they decide to
learn after leaving the hospital. They
were given the best training it was then
possible for trained teachers to give, and
they emerged from their hands improved
in mind and earning capacity, though
perhaps minus both arms. The men who
are going to come back here are going to
be given the same training and the same
chance. And should like to say that it
should be clearly understood that the Gov
ernment compensation to men disabled in
the war will not be lessened by their earn
ing capacity. The amount is gauged en-
tirely by the seriousness of their wound
and is affected by nothing else.
In some trades the arms of which have
spoken are not practical. In these cases
arms are provided with different kinds of
contrivances in place of the hand, thus
making it possible for the men to use
many kinds of tools. These men usually
have two sets of arms. One set for work
ing, the other for evenings. Sundays and
holidays, just as we change our clothes.
The Washington times., 1918-07-28

the sting from the suffering of the world.
We are perhaps not better of heart than
our ancestors, but we have a vaster Oppor-
tunity for the exercise of both the heart
and the mind. England actually did not
know how to go about saving those men
for themselves and society any more than
she knew how to send wireless message
or to cross the channel by air. We are
living in different age, and are accom-
plishing things undreamt of heretofore,
and that is one of the principal reasons
why the saving of crippled and disabled
men is now possible.
Science has advanced beyond our Wild
est dreams. Once men worked with their
muscle as the sole motive power for
the pushing of a trade. Then the man
without an arm might not hope to enter
any line of endeavor that required the
power of human strength.
But the wizards of science have come
along with tiny wires that can be con-
nected with great machines, and the tiny
wires can supply without effort more power
than a thousand strong men might hope
to give, leaving only the intelligence of
man as a requisite for the harnessing of
the silent. mysterious force So long as
