HE SUFFERED
FOR 81 YEARS
Since Taking Tanlac Railroad Man Is
Able To Do His Work Easily.

Before taking Tanlac / suffered so
badly from rheumatism that 1 could
brady straighten up. but I IN feeling
fine now,' said W. w. Bough, of 9l9
West Park Place, Oklahoma City, Okla.
Ever since I was twenty years old
and l am now fifty four, he cont inued

back just over my kidneyc, which
would get me so bad at times that |

and also suffered fsom a bad case Of
catarrh in the head that would nau-
seate me so at times | would lose my
breakfast. For two DAYS before [ be-
gan taking Tanlac / was down in bed
unable to get up or even turn turn
over and my son had to do my work
for me.
''Just a few days after I started
on Tanlac the pain left my back and
II began to mend. That rheumatism
soon left me and I was relieved of
catarrh also and am feeling better
now that I have in many years. I
can eat and sleep better and am feel
ing strehg and fit for my work, and
it sure takes strength and muscle to

troubled at all since I took Tanlac
and am feeling just fine.

Doan s Kidney Pills good many years
ago with good results. Ny back was so
lame and ssre I could hardly straighten.
I had severe headach IS, was nervous
and felt II unstrung and irritable. I of
ten got dizzy and specks seemed to
float before my eyes, blurring my sight.
Hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills I be
gan taking them and in short time

trance to Mill Creek park in honor Of
Volney Rogers, lover Of children, Of

hcited through his friends. the chill.
dren.
The movement to erect the me-
mortal was started last fall when the
Volney Rogers committee of the cham
Der OF commerce was named and pub
lie suggestions for the form Of the
memorial were called for.
Mr.. Rogers. an attorney In Youngs-
town AZ years, loves the country. He
explored Mill Creek valley, and when
the valleys forests were being de-
spoiled for lumber and Its natural
cliffs for stone, Mr.. Rogers became
active and personally procured options
on more than 800 acres now included
within the park. He then obtained
legislation permitting the purchase of
parks by townships and purchased
$4,000 bonds needed for the project.
Mr.. Rogers lives near the park. His
father, James Rogers, was one Of the
pioneers of C%oiumbiana county, and
the Youngstown attorney was born
near Rogers, a town built on land

For The
Homemaker's Eve

Save the Windfall Apples

Apples that fall off the tree or
are imperfect, may not keep we'll
nor find a ready sale, but they can
be used satisfactorily to make ap-
pie products. These products are
available for home consumption
throughout the entire year, which
is an advantage worthy of the con-
sideration of apple growers.
Canning Whole Apples
The following recipes recon-
mended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture will uti-
lize the windfalls and culls. Do
not can any decayed part nor al
low apples to become overripe be-
fore canning.
Wash the apples, which must be
reasonably firm. Remove core and
iblemishes (pare if desirable when
for immediate use). Place whole
apples in blanching tray or 'blanch-
ing cloth and blanch in boiling
water for two minutes. Remove
and plunge quickly into cold water.
Pack in large, empty glass jars or
gallon tin cans. Pour over the
product a hat, thin sirup of about
1S degree density. This is made
in the proportion of 21l pounds of
sugar to 5H quarts of water

CEDARS OF vs.,
LEBANON BURNED~
Beautiful Giants Cut to Sup
ply Fuel For Military
locomotives

The cedars of Lebanon have al
most disappeared from their native
home in the picturesque mountains
of Palestine and yet one hears no
great protest. Trees, 1000 years
old, that passed through their in
fancy hundred years before the
opening of the Christian era were
cut to supply fuel for military To-
comotives during the war.
The wholesale destruction of
wonderful works Of art during the
war brought forth groans that
were heard around the world, but
the wood-chopper, without mur-
mur being heard in the world out
side, has destroyed this living
thing that for centuries has been
used as symbol Of physical
strength by nations forgotten eX-
cept in the pages of history.
These beautiful giants thrived
best in their native home in the
mountains of Lebanon in Palestine
just south of Beirut. Their wood
is so durable that Pliny, the Ro-
man historian, said it was everlast-
ing. For this reason the ancients
made of it their gods. The Arabs
regarded the trees as endowed
with the principle of continual ex-
istence, and when the great age of
some individual specimens is con-
sidered they had very good reason
for holding this belief. They also
credited the trees with reasoning
powers.
Timbers unearthed by excava-
tors in the ruins of the ancient
Assyrian cities were found to be
practica ally unchanged after pass
ing through 1000 years of various
vicissitudes.
The cedar forests, which were
historic when the armies of Sem
nacherib laid them waste in COS
B. c. as recorded in the Bible and
which are beautifully mentioned in
the Psalms of David, have now
been ravaged as a war necessity
by the Turks to feed their locomo-
tiveS which drew trains between
the military station at Beirut and
the ancient capital at Damascus.
This destruction was made imper-
ative by the severance of all out
side supplies Of coal. The con-
querors of the Turks continued
the practice. 1t became a common
sight to see long lines Of automo-
bile trucks of the invaders make
their way to the "goodly noun
tains' for a load of the wood.
The American purchaser of a
roomy cedar chest at the present
almost prohibitive price may sor-
rOWfully picture in mind this
sight. The cedars of Lebanon have
the reputation of being particu-
larly fragrant. In ancient times
the oil of this tree was thought to
have curative properties and as
such was applied to the body by
those suffering from leprosy. The
Romans used the oil for the pre-
servation Of their manuscripts.
The great size of individual
trees produced a profound impress
sion upon the beholder. The
trunk often reached the girth of
forty-two feet, which is not beg
garly even when compared with
the giants of our California for
ests. A height of ninety feet was
common and with this is to be con-
sidered the fact that the spread of
the trees branches exceeded this.
Four city lots might be covered by
one single specimen.

wall paper which has been prev
iously laid in the sun to fade

An irregular patch is less conspic-

Comforting Fashion News.

To many women one of the most
interesting fashion news items of
the week is one from London
which indicates that lower prices
in clothes may eventually reach
the United States. 1t is certain
that prices will not be lower here
until prices abroad become more
reasonable. At present ready to
wear clothes in London are selling
for little less than half the prices
that obtained in the spring. The
most noticeable reductions so far
are in the less expensive clothes,
but prices in better clothes are
bound to be influenced after
;time. Such an extreme reduction
indicates that the present entirely
out of proportion prices cannot
last
If you want to have a window
full of blooming nasturtiums all
through the cold months, take
clippings from the vines before
frost, cuts them down Cor even
after frost, hunt about for pro-
tected shoots that are not nipped),
set them in glass jars with bits of
charcoal in the water to keep it
clear, and watch them sending out
white threadlets of roots, and pres
emily profusion of gay flowers.
Lemons ought never to be allow
ed to dry up. 1t is so simple to
keep them plump. Some people
recommend packing them in a.
crock in dry sand, arranging so
that no two lemons touch. This
for quantity. For the usual half
dozen on hand at once, it is better
to cover them with cold water,
weighting them to keep them down.
The water should be changed twice
a week.
To keep cut flowers especially
chrysanthemums and asters fresh
for long time drop a few bits of
charcoal into the water.
To Patch the Wall Paper
A unsightly dent in the wall
caused by a hard knock from
heavy piece of furniture may be
rendered practically unnoticeable
by first building up the dent with
plaster of paris mixed with an
equal amount of faxed glue and
moistened with warm water.
