AND TELEPHONES
 UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL

At midnight last Wednesday night,
 the telegraph and telephone systems of the country, like the railroads, I passed into the hands of the Federal authorities.
 1 This last acquisition by the govern ment will be under the postal de- Ipartment, and Albert Burleson, the tPostln aster General, will be the Big Il Boss'' of all the employees of those
 two companies.
 Details of the operation of the prop critics have not yet been worked out. land it is stated that matters will stand as they are until further con- sideration can be given.
 It has been asserted that the two tsystems will merge into and be part l of the postal system. The suggestion | has been made that special stamps
 will be used for transmitting mes sages, which will be obtainable at the
 post offices This, howver, is a mat 1ter of detail which has to be worked
 out. r - Naturally, a change from private ltcontrol to government control or sucn vast systems as the telephone and telegraph lines of the country, IS one {, that causes more or less uneasipess tamong the thousands of employees. But President Wilson's proclamation fprovides that until the postmaster
 general directs otherwise, the present managements shall continue-and l,that, of course, means there will be tno changes in the personnel that will tbe disturbing.

 cates that no radical changes in the
 personnel of the operating forces may he expected.

HOWARD GAINS IA, POUNDS BY TAKING TANlAC-LAYS WALK ING CANE ASIDE.

|. Well, I have actually gained four teen pounds in the past six weeks by
 taking Tanlac and now Pm going back home a well man and go to work just like used to before I got sick. ' This
 interesting and remarkable statement
 was made by Henry s. Howard, well-known farmer and stock raiser of
 King Hill, Idaho, while purchasing
 more of the medicine in Salt Lake recently. ] T have suffered from rheumatism
 and indigestion for twelve years" Econtinued MT. Howard. q had got ten to where could hardly eat a thing, because everything went kagainst me and besides I had no ap-
 petite. Every joint in me was swol- Llen with rheumatism, and hurt so could hardly bear to be touched I was in such a bad fix couldn't work, so I decided to come down here and go to hospital for treatment.
 When got here six weeks ago, I
 was so crippled up I had to use. a walking stick in order to get along
 at all. My daughter, who lives here, Lgot to begging me to try Tanlac, but l I had tried. so many things that did
 me no good, that had no faith in
 Tanlac either. But she insisted, un-
 til just to please her, decided to try I it. The first bottle made great change in my feelings. My rheuma-
 tism soon left me, so threw my stick 4aside, and now can walk as good as
 anybody.

 but have saved good many dol. liars and have gotten rid of my troub' les, besidess and when I get home the folks who. knew, what a bad fix I was lin are going to, be surprised to see
 such a difference. Tanlac is worth
 its weight in gold, and it has convinc ed me that there's at least one medf
 cine that will do what they say it will
