ROGERS WAS UNABLE
TO MOVE WITHOUT HELP
Gives Tanlac Credit for Working
Great Change for Him
SPEAKS TO THE PUBLIC
Declares He Quickly Was Changed
From Almost an Invalid to
Vigorous Man

From condition from which he
sun cred so that he had to be helped
around, Ora H. Rogers, of 1909 Kos
suth ST., New York, was changed in
to vigorous man who could walk
miles without having pains. Because
OF this remarkable benefit, Mr..
Rogers said, 81 praise Tanlac above
all other medicines, because" as he
publicly state, "Tanlac worked the
change" Mr.. Rogers statement is so
interesting and holds such encour-
agement for others that it is given
word for word.
Il suffered from rheumatism and
pains so bad that l often had to be
helped when | walked across the
room," he declared. "That was onlv
few weeks ago, and now | can walk
miles without suffering any pains.
Il will say right here" he con-
tlnued, chat rheumatism and stom
ach trouble are about the worst
things man can have. had
pains down my legs and through
my body. l had to sit down for
hours, but this only gave me a little
relief
Il tried many medicines. but not
one of them seemed to do me par
tlcle of good. l kept hearing such
good reports from people of what
Tanlac was doing for others that de-
clded to give it trial. The first bot
tie gave me some relief from those
dreadful pains in my legs and back.
"As | kept on with Tanlac began
to feel like new man. The pains
passed away, I'could go anywhere
wanted, and, as l said, travel miles
by myself. You can imagine how |
felt to finally find medicine with
such merit as this wonderful Tan
lac"

CHINA'S NEW PARLIAMENT

Peking.-China's new parliament,
to be convened June 10, will consist
of two houses, the upper house to be
composed of 168 members, 80 of whom
are to be elected by the different ma
tional organizations and the other
138 by the provincial electoral col
leges, and the lower house of 401
members, one for every million of
population. In regard to the new par
Lament the Peking Daily News says
editorially:
The adoption of the revised provi-
sional constitution and the issue of
presidential mandates fixing the
dates for the elections to the two
houses Of parliament clearly indicate
that within very short time the
country will have new legislature
1t will be new in more senses than
one. Not only will it be new in mem
bership, but it will be only little
more than half of the unwieldly body
twice sent about its business, and the
basis of the franchise on which
it i to be elected will be
slightly different. The first difference
is one that has been effected in defer
ence to general public opinion. The
old bodies undoubtedly were far too
large for the effective transaction of
business, and the result was that they
actually transacted an irreducible
minimum of business. The second is
is difference that has been suggest
ed by the composition of the old leg
islature, and it is to be admitted that
it will tend to make the body more
conservative. This, however, is no
disadvantage, for the late parliament
was far too radical to be safe body.
This new body will not have quite the
same powers in the drafting of the
constitution as the old body had, and
this also Is a gain. 1t is almost with
out precedent for the legislature to
be entrusted with the drafting of the
constitution.
1t is not, however, in the statutory
differences that it may be anticipated
the chief change will be found. The
new parliament will come into being
with all the advantages of the disas-
trous experience of predecessor
that had not the wisdom to learn from
it's own mistakes and it is hardly
conceivable that the new body will be
guilty of the same blunders. The
country is in no mind for repetition
of the inanities of the twice dismissed
parliament, and it is to be expected
that the country's temper will show
itself in the elections. Even from the
most truculent parts it is not likely
that very truculent members will be
elected, and if they are, they will
probably find the general temper of
the body in which they will sit diff
ferent from their own.
The Importance of the new legisla-
ture it is impossible to overestimate

shortlived as they please; but in a

Neville island was neglected. Lit,
for big mills. In 1908 the Carnegie
Steel company, needing more blast
furnace capacity, added the Neville
plant to its battery, and since that
time it has been operated spasmodc-
ally when the stress Of steel demand
compelled intensive operations. The
rest Of the tract was leased to gard
ners, and every year has been adding
to the food supply of the district.
The Ohio river is navigable on one
side of the island, wicket dame above
and below giving enough water for
the free movement of boats and bar
ges at all seasons of the year. On
the north side are the tracks of the
Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago
railroad, and on the south side are
the tracks of the New York Central
syctem. The corporation also has a
on the island which connects
with the Central lines on the south
side of the island.
In connection with the ordnance
plant, the corporation is to bold the
houses for the 10000 or more work
ers who are to be employed, but it is
conceded trat not great many of
them can be erected on the island. An
entire town, perhaps two or three
must be built elsewhere to care for
the newcomers, and this, so the story
goes in Pittsburgh, the corporation
is preparing to do.

Pittsburgh, May Pittsburgh has
lost itsgarden ana the long cherished
dream of the late John w. Gates, who
was never afraid to bet million, is
about to become true. These facts
loom larger when considered in connec
ton with the official announcement of
the war department that the United
States Steel corporation is about to
build on Neville island gigantic ord
nance plant.
For more than a hundred years
Pittsburgh has looked to Neville is
land for its vegetables. Lying in the
Ohio river at the western edge Of the
city, it is high enough through its
entire length of almost seven miles
to escape the disastrous floods which
twice every year drive the people
from their homes in the lower part of
the old town of Allegheny. While
less than mile wide, it is SO level
that gardeners early saw in it wonder
full possibilities, and many hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been
taken from its rich brown soil. Oil,

land, and even now it is dotted with
steel derricks topping wells that are
still producing the light Pennsylva-
MIA crude.

principal subsidiary, the Carnegie
Steel company, and before the ord
nance mills are completed it must
own much if not all Of the remainder

late Mr.. Gates in the late nineties
when he formed the American Steel
& Wire company, and he planned to
cover the island with the mightiest
steel wire mills ever erected. He went
so far as to build blast furnace at
the head of the island and to dig
deep forthe foundations that were to

FINDING OUT
WHERE CITIZENS
STAND ON DRIVE

Out Who's Who in FL Centre and
How Much You Are Giving to the
Various Funds.
War Savings Stamp drive crews
are canvassing Ell Centre taking a
census of "war dollars"
They are armed with blanks, which
you will be asked to make out. These
blanks will tell how much you sub
scribed to Liberty bonds and Red
Cross drivese, and how many w. S. S.
you have purchased. The idea is to
ferret ou the drones in war giving.
Practically the same crews which
handled the Red Cross drives will
take care of the Thrift Stamp drives.
