everywhere, but until they were
brought together in proper proper
ton and association as in the Tan
lac formula, humanity had not here
fore realized their full value and
effect.
In referring to one of the more i'm
portant ingredients of Tanlac, the
Encyclopedia Britannica says: cit
has long been the source of the most
valuable tonic medicines that have
ever been discovered" In referring
to others of the general tonic drugs
contained in Tanlac the 18th Edition
of Potter's Therapeutics, a standard
medical text book, states that-"they
impart general tone and strength to
the entire system, including all or
gans and tissues"
This same well known authority in
describing the physiological action of
still another of the ingredients of
Tanlac which is of value in treating
what is commonly known as run
down conditioned" uses the following
expression: at is highly esteemed in
loss of appetite during GONZALES
cense from acute diseases"
There are certain other elements in
Tanlac which because of their influ-
ence upon the appetite, digestion, as
similation and elimination improve
the nutrition and vital activity of all
the tissues and organs of the body
and produce that state of general
tonicity which is called health.
In discussing another ingredient
the Encyclopedia Britannica says:
at is one of the most efficient of
that class of substances which act up
on the stomach so as to invigorate
digestion and thereby increase the
general nutrition. 1t is used in dys-
pepsia, chlorosis, anemia, and various
other diseases in which the tone of
the stomach and alimentary canal is
deficient" Concerning still another
ingredients this same standard au-
thority says: cit causes dilation of

secretion of the gastric juice, and

the following comment regarding
another ingredient: at may be used
in all cases of pure debility of the
digestive organs or where general
tonic impression is required. Dys-

THOUGHTFULNESS WILL PRE-
VENT FIRES-PASTE THESE
DON'TS IN YOUR OLD HUT

Washington, June 18.-Now is the
time to stop the forest fires by not
having any, says an announcement
from the American Forestry associa-
ton. The fire in Minnesota last year
is still fresh in the public mind and
when it is estimated that the fire loss
in 1918 was $2s,5O0,00O and that
s,4OO 900 acres were burned, every
precaution should be taken by sum-
mer campers, says the association.
Here are some "don'ts" to be pasted
UP on every tent door flap:
Don't throw your match away un-
til you are sure it is out.
Don't drop cigaret or cigar butts
until the glow is extinguished.
Don't knock out your pipe asnes
while hot or where they will fall IN
to dry leaves or other infiamable ma
-terial.
Don't build camp fire any larger
than is absolutely necessary.
Don't leave a fire until your are
sure it is out; if necessary smother
it with earth or water.
Don't burn brush or refuse IN or
near the woods if there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond
YOUR control, or that the wind may
carry sparks where they would start
a new fire.
Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your own home. 80,
Don't be idle when you discover q
fire in the woods; if you cannot put
it out yourself, get help. Where a
forest guard, ranger or state fire
warden can be reached, call him up
on the nearest telephone you can find.
Don't forget that human thought
lessness and negligence are the
causes of more than half of the for
est fires in this country, and that the
smallest spark may start a contla-
grafton that will result in loss OF life
and destruction of timber and young
growth valuable not only for lumber
but for their influence in helping to
prevent flood, erosion and drought.
The association points out that
the old ounce of prevention still
beats the pound of cure in the forests,
now being fast depleted.

 There are no pygmies in Liberia. and some tribes. such as the Mandin- gos, are fine physical specimens, with a pronounced European cast of feat ures.
 There are quaint customs among the natives, many of them bearing similarity to civilized practices. such as the Mandingo method of courting by presents, which, if accepted signify tacit consent to further attentions, and the wearing of mourning bands not upon the sleeve, for the native garb is often exceedingly scant but around the fingers or about the head These bands are made of dried grasses or pa Inns.
 Other practices are not so harmless. Especially objectionable. some travel lers report. are the initiation ceremon- ies when the young folk reach marri- aSea ble age These are conducted by the he bogeys' and she bogeys' re- spectively. for the sexes and while they include some instruction in dut- ies of fatherhood and motherhood, of ten are orgiastic in character"

 The factories are closed for lack of coal and raw materials. More than POO, 900 persons have Hooked to the city from the surrounding regions. The streets are filled with soldiery. both Hungarian and Rumanian. and detachments of the latter march con- tinuously through the city.

THRIFT.

It is nothing new of course when Secretary of the Treasury Glass makes an appeal to save through a letter to the school children of the country to be read on Thrift day. It is an old story but it may be told in a new and more interesting way, and certainly it is one that bears often repetition
 Saving and overcoming waste are by no means duties that should be re- stricted to children. Everyone should thoroughly understand and practice these things that can play such an important part in every day life, but it cannot fail to be appreciated that the minds of the children are the most susceptible to advice along such lines and let the idea be sent home and the good results of it seen in practice as well as tine bad results from the lack of it and lasting impression is bound to be formed.
 Thrift day is for the purpose of ac- centuating a policy that should be followed every day in the year. It di- rectly concerns each and every indi- vidual and when a special appeal is made to the school children it means the presentation Of the idea to those who in not so many years are going to not only be concerned with their own welfare but wrestling with the great problems of the country. It is fitting therefore that they should be taught thrift that the many interest ing examples of it's benefits should be presented to them and that they should be urged to take advantage of the opportunities that are before them. Thrift is certainly not re- stricted to war time. It is a matter of every day concern.

NIGHT SCHOOLS.

We are reaching the season of the year when the evening schools are due to open and there should be no mis- taking the service that they perform or are willing to perform if only a sufh cient number can be interested in getting the rudiments of an educa tion.
 Excellent results are accomplished by these schools which are conducted for the purpose of reaching those who have for one reason or another been deprived of an opportunity for an ed : ucation, those who have come to this country to make their homes but have little or no knowledge of the langua ge or customs and those illiterates who realize late in life that they have missed something
 In the la st few years more particu- larly have been impressed with the importance of increasing our eff forts in Standardization work. We have realized the necessity of teach ing the aliens within our limits our language, our ways and our ideals. We have seen the necessity of irnpressing g upon them the importance of becom- ing the best possible citizens and in fact to elevate the citizenship of the country for the purpose of insuring a united rather than a disunited coun- try.
 It is rot possible to leave all the work in this direction to the night schools. Such is not to be thought of but there is a large amount of work that they can do and it is quite i'm portant that those who need just such help should have explained to them the advantages offered and be urged to improve them for their own as well as the country's good. Wherever there are enough needing the school ing. and not many cities could be passed, the night schools ought to do capacity business.

NC SPECIAL SESSION

Not without giving il proper con slderation, but nevertheless making it evident that the easons. advanced had failed to convince him of the nec- essity of such action. Governor HoI- comb has declined to call a session of the state legislature
 While the trolley situation was used as an added reason for getting the members of the general assembly to- sether again. the real purpose was to take action on the amendment to the federal constitution granting the right or suffrage 10 women. It was a weak argument that inasmuch as it was bound to come by vote of other states Connecticut should hustle to get onto the bandwa gon. for if others are go- ing to furnish the needed ratification there is no real emergency such es would cali for a special session and zs pointed out the trolley question had been before the last regular ses- sion.
 But the chief reason for the refusal to cali the special session appears to be the conviction of the governor that sentiment is sharply divided in Con necticut on this question. thai the present members have expressed themselves upon the suffrage question and that the matter of ratification if II cannot be decided by a vote of the people of the state. ought to be acted upon by q legislature the members of which are chosen with the understand ing that such question is to come before them.
 The decision of Governor Holcomb is to the effect that no special emer- gency exists and that therefore no special session should be called and it is believed that it will be generally approved

HELP THAT COULDN'T BE HAD.

When Omaha has time to reflect upon the action of hundreds of it's people it will have reason to hide it's face for shame. IT has presented a deplorable spectacle before the nation and in spite of plenty of examples which should have been sufficient to restrain 1T.
 But while the country is mortified at this latest manifestation of Iawless- r.ess and regretta bic display of race antogonism along the lines of those in Washington and Chicago. it seems most unfortunate that Omaha should have been left to the mercy of such a wild mob. in which women played no small part and seem to glory in it. when there were sufficient troops within a trolley car ride of the city to 1uell the disturbance even as they lid after fhe worst of the trouble was over.
 Tn the first place had this trouble occurred in many other cities there would have been state troops that could have been called upon to deal with the situation after it got beyond the local authorities, but there are two army posts close to Omaha from which troops were eventually sent but it was necessary to go through so much red tape that mob violence had accomplished all and more than it had set out to do in the beginning. If for no other reason than to deal with just such conditions as that in Omaha there ought to be closer relations be- tween municipal, state and federal authorities. The troops were ready and had they received orders a few hours before the disgraceful out break could have been checked be- fore it got beyond bounds.

A law that would give such earnings to the government would be confiscatory and there is good reason to believe that due weight will be given to the opin- ion of the former justice upon this point when it comes time to act upon the railroad bills.
