 was discussed by the members The position is vacant at the present time and in fact has been for some time. It has been the intention of the board however to give the position to some disabled returned soldier and that is why it is being held open. The com missioners are almost sure they have secured the right man, a, local youth who suffered badly in France, to fill the place.
 Resignation Accepted.
 It was then called to the attention of the members of the board that the resignation of Dr. Henry r. Moore as superintendent of health had never Ncen properly accepted. When Dr. Moore left this city for England he left with the chairman resignation which permitted the filling of the office if the need arose. The position has been filled by the appointment of Dr. Stockwell and thus Dr, Moore automa tically goes out of office The commissioners formally accepted the resignation as taking place February 1. 1919 and pr. Moore will be notified 10 that effect.
 Oycrcrowdcd Trolley Cars. , The next matter discussed by the members of the board was that of overcrowded trolley cars. Someone had ] asked that action be taken by the health board and see if the over ! crowding of trolley cars, especially at the rush hours, could not be avoided. Commissioner Riley asked if the board had not already taken action in the matter at the time of the influenza epidemic and he also wanted to know if that had applied to the epidemic period only He remarked that at that time the chief of police had promised the cooperation of the police depart ment in the matter and for some time the cars leaving the center of the city were filled to seating capacity only. It scene ed that the matter had been let slide since the epidemic had ceased to rage here. The fact that the cars are more than crowded early in the morn ing, at noon and for several hours in the late afternoon and evening is a fact well known to the entire public is particularly injurious to health. Dr. Stockwell told the men present that he undestood that the matter was to be taken up by the state health com mission and that possibly some state { legislation might be secured later. It ! was voted to have the superintendent l of health communicate with the ma 1 nager of the trolleys in this city and 1 with the chief of police to see that l the overcrowding is stopped.

Miss Peck's Friends Astonished

Anna Peck, who lives at 1921 Char

talking to a Tanlac representative the

= II just can't think OF enough good
things to say about Tanlac, con-
tinued Miss Peck, for it is the only
medicine that has done me any good

nervous indigestion, and my stomach
f.rally got in such bad condition that

After every meal I would be perfectly
miserable for hours on account OF gas

press up into my chest and against my
heart and I could hardly get a good
breath. Then. too, often suffered
from severe headaches, and my nerves
were in such bad condition that I
rarely ever got good nights Sleep
I finally got SO weak and rundown
that had to give up trying to do any
work at all
MY brother had been taking Tan
lac and was SO much pleased over the
results that decided to give 1t a trial
myself. Well. 1 could just feel my
strength coming back to me before
had finished my first bottle of this
medicine. and 1 just continued to i'm
prove until now my troubles are all
gone and 1 am as well and hearty as
one could wish to be I have q splen-

will vote for reservations while Sena-
tor Reed, of Missouri, has been
against the entire treaty from the
very start n will continue to be
against it to the end
The mild reservations. so-called,
were Senator's Cummins. McNary. Nc
Cumfer-- Nelson Kellogg, Spencer,
Lenroot, Colt n Cappers. They arc
wiling to accept reservations. but did
not want them SO strong as to keep
the United States IL of the treaty.
But here is the way they lined UP to-
day after studying at their leisure the
lodge program:
- For all the observation-disclosures
and Capper.
For all the reservations except
number two-McNary. Kellogg, Nei-
son, Lenroot. Spencer, McCumber and
Colt.
That alignment does not leave much
hope for the Democrats that they will
get enough votes to turn down the
reservation program.
Senator Camper said that the reser-
vatiens adopted by the committee met
with his approval and he intended t o
support them.
publican whip. said he would rot only
vote for them. but believed the presi-
dent should accept them.
Senator Kenyon. of Iowa, declared
the treaty could not be ratified with
out reservations, and that he heartily
approved of the reservations recon-
mended.
senator Spencer said he was a bit
afraid of the reservation on Article
ten n thought il should be softened
somewhat, AT the same time he de-
r}aretf,M bss. %xsatd. ,fiot-~xoier fsr~the
treaty unless reservations were adopt-
ed"
Senator Colt, of Rhode Island, said
he and Senator I%enroot, of Wiscon-
sin, hold the same view respecting
article Y and believe that the reser-
walton as drawn is too strong. He
and Senator Lenroot do not object to
the reservation as applied to declara-
tions of war, but believe il should not
pc applied TO the institution of Il
Boycott for violation of c~ontractural
obligations.
A substitute set of reservations was
submitted in the senate by Senator
McCumber, which limit the reserva-
ton on article ten merely to the
carrying on of war. Senator Me-
CumherS added two reservations
to the fonr proposed by the commit
tee. one OF which refers to Shantung
and sets forth that the United States
consents TO ratification upon the un-
Outstanding that Japan will fulnll her
promise to restore Shantung to China.
The other additional reservation re.
lates to the exclusion of constituent
parts of an empire in any dispute In
volving any of the dominions or the
empire itself.
Senator Shields. Of Tennessee, who
voted with the Republicans yesterday
in adoption the reservations said to-
day that he is determined not to sup
port the treaty unless reservations
are made. =
