BILL REQUESTS
MORE N 0 NEY
FOR WAR HEROES
Y:.nks Injured in Service May
Get Increase Ranging
From so to $50
Per Cent. =,

Washington, Aug. 25.-Increases
ranging from 50 to more than $50
per cent in the monthly compensa-
ton paid under the war risk insur-
ance act to disabled soldiers and
sailors are provided by bill recon-
mended for passage by the house
interstate commerce committee.
Proposed extension of free insur-
ance for two years, however. was
rejected.
The principal provision is that
providing the increased payments
for disability, rated as total and
temporary. Single men would re-
ceive $50 a month instead OF $50
provided by the original act; those
with wife, 800 instead of $45; those
with wife and one child, sos in
stead of SIS; those with wife and
two or more children, 500 instead
of SOS; those without a wife, but
having one child, $50 instead of $40,
with S. additional being allowed for
each of two additional children.
Partial disability is to be rated by
a percentage of the foregoing.
Another important amendment,
estimated to cost the government
$5,000,000, is that granting automatic
insurance for 100 days to every one
in service at any time between April
6, 1917, and Novembr II, 1918.
The new measure extends the per-
mitted class of benehciaries to
uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces,
brothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law.
Likewise the terms father" and
mother" of the original act are ex-
tended to include step or adopted
parents.
Representative Sweet of Iowa,
author of the bill, said an effort
would soon be made to pass the bill
through the house.

REAL ESTATE MAN
ENTHUSIASTIC over
The Big CHANGE
Thomas S. Ridge Is Built Up
by TanIac After He Was D.
All Rundown. =

Thomas S. Ridge, the we'll known
insurance and real estate man, with
offices at 1913 Ridge Building,
Kansas City, Mo-. comes forward
with his unqualified endorsement of
Tanlac.
Judging from the results Of
three bottles Of Tanlac in my case"
said Mr.. Ridge, in an interview at
his office, recently, ''it must be a
medicine of unusual merit.
81 had been in a pretty bad fix
for several months, suffering from
what is called intestinal Indigestion
and gas on my stomach. l was also
badly constirated and had oc-
casional headaches. l had lost
some in weight and felt tired, weak
and wornout all the time.
Realizing the Importance of get
ting something, if possible, to check
up this rundown condition and set
me right, and seeing Tanlac so high
ly endorsed by the people of my
own town, I proceeded to get a
bottle.
"Well, before I had finished my
first bottle I found my condition,
yielding to the treatment and l then
knew l had struck it right. Since
that time l have used two more
bottles and have gotten almost en-
tirely rid of the gas and other signs
of indigestion.
81 have also been relieved of
bloating. constipation and headache
and am feeling stronger and more
vigorous than l have in long time.
In fact, my entire system has been
built up and invigorated, and l have
never known of a medicine that I
could say as much for as l can for
Tanlac. I believe it is just what
lots Of people are needing, espe-
cially those suffering from stomach
trouble and a rundown condition.
and / am glad to pass the good word
along"

INTERNATIONAL 80
AERIAL FLIERS
REACH MINEOLA
Three Birdmen Make Journey
From Toronto in Six
Hours Plus.

Mineola, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Three
fast airplanes swooped down on
Roosevelt field here Monday night,
completing the first leg of their
round trip flight between Toronto
and Mineola, in the first interna-
tional aerial derby.
Sergeant Frank Combs, an Amer
lean aviator, flying a Dh-9, with 400
horsepower Liberty motor. was the
first arrival, landing at I'll o'clock
just six hours and II minutes from
the time he started on the 500 mile
coure at Toronto. His actual fly
ing time, however, was only three
hours and IS minutes, stops having
been made at Buffalo, Syracuse and
Albany.
Roland Rohlfs, famous American
test pilot, who was the first flier
to "hop Off at Toronto, despite the
fact that he had previously suffered
spill when his plane turned tur-
tie, landed at 7:l9 o'clock and Major
R. M. Schroeder, another American
flier, who had elected to start the
race at the Toronto end, arrived
four minutes later. Rohlfs gave his
time from start to finish as six hours
and % minutes and Major Schroe-
der gave his as six hours and %
minutes, but neither announced
their time in actual flight.
The three filters hope to start the
return trip to Toronto between
noon and o'clock tomorrow. pro-
vided their machines can be given
a thorough overhauling by that
time.
A large crowd which had turned
out to greet the racers remained for
several hours after their arrival
hoping to witness other arrivals or
to get word of the landing at To-
ronto of some of the % planes
which left here during the after
noon on the Mineola-T oronto leg of
the race. Up to late hour. how
ever, no more filters had put in ap-
pearance, nor was any report re-
ceived of landings at Toronto.

German Volunteers
to Support Russian
Reachonary Move

Coblenz, Aug. 2S.-Details of the
organization of a large German
volunteer corps in the Baltic prov
inces to support the Russian reac-
tionary movement against the boil
sheviki are in the hands of the
American military authorities.
1t appears that General Won Kel-
Ter, who is believed to be a Russian
nobleman of German descent. is at
the head of the movement and it is
charged that the German occupa-
ton troops under Gen. Won Der
Goltz, who recently was recalled
from the Baltic on the demand of
the allies, are working with Won
Keller.
The Freiheit asserts that virtually
all of Won Der Goltz's German Sixth
reserve corps and staff have been
transferred to the Freikorps OF Graf
Won Keller, and that the Iron divi-
sion in Courland, which has been
ordered withdrawn into Germany,
is threatening to go over to Won
Keller's corps in a body. These
charges are declared by other news
papers to be exaggerated.
