simply astonishing what two bottles
Of this medicine has done in my case.

"The tired, wOrn-out feelings are

Tanlac that certainly does the work
and | am glad to make this statement

There is not single portion Of the
body that is not benefited by the help (
ful action of Tanlac, which begins it's
work by stimulating the digestive ami
organs thereby enriching
the blood and invigorating the whole .
system. Next, il enables the weak,
worn-out stomach to thoroughly d. 4
gest its food thereby permitting the
nourishing elements to be converted
into blood, bone and muscle.
1t overcomes, it is said, that great
exciting cause Of disease-weakness.
1t renders the body vigorous and elias
tie, keeps the mind clear and ener-
getic and throws off the symptoms OF
and indigestion. 1t builds
up the constitution weakened by dis
Ease and mental and physical over
work, quickens convalescence and is an
source Of comfort to all suf-
fcring from such troubles.

This money VIII De requested WneH
the board of education has sufficient
funds the teachers decided. The teach
ers claim that resolutions on the board
of education minutes at the meeting
when the government survey plan was
adopted, morally bind the board to COM
penSate them in accordance with the
survey salaries as fixed.
Saturday forenoon was taken up in a
somewhat heated discussion of the plan,
which awards $3.50 to avery white teach
er and $100 to each negro teacher, with
an increase in regular salaries of $50
monthly to white teachers and SIS
monthly to negro teachers.
Leaders of the teachers association
could not say whether low survey claS-
sifications would bring salary smaller
than that now assured by the $25 in-
crease offered to white teachers month
ly.
The plan Of awarding each white
teacher $50 was offered as a solution
for the emergency. Mayor Paine Sat-
urday morning told the teachers he
could see no way now for the city to
assure any more money at the pres
ent time. The survey would be in
stalled as soon as possible. he stated.
He ventured the opinion that it might
take a year. The $25 increase would
be effective until every teacher was
classified The mayor advised the asso-
citation to accept the award and $25
increase and that later aid would be
forthcoming when the survey was in
force.
He explained to the teachers his
plans regarding the budget and the
raise in assessment Mr. Riddick also
advised the acceptance as did Mrs
Isaac Reese. Several of the teachers
could not see why the survey salaries
could not be guaranteed from the first
of the year. Some suggested the plan
that theyf accept the award now and
have the difference paid later.
1t is estimated that $4,000, would be
required for back pay in the. award
plan. This with the estimated over
draft at the end of June would bring
an overdraft Of $35S,000 for the school
board. This, Mayor Paine said, could
be taken care of in the additional school
revenue of $450,O0O certain for this
year.
Mayor Paine Saturday pointed out to
the teachers that under the survey
plan the total of salary expenditure will
not greatly exceed that of the pro-
posal Friday afternoon. The teachers,
he said are to be classified in three
divisions, according to length of SER
vice, merit and training. The flat in
crease total, he figured, will amount to
about the same as the differing scale
regulated by classification. The $50
now would enable summer courses, II
was to wipe out any provisos for back
salary under the government survey
from Jan. ], he said. The additional $25
would be forthcoming until a teacher
was classified.
Mr.. Riddick in addition to advising
acceptance said he thought some way
could be brought about where what
differences in some classes that might
result would be made up and high paid
teachers under the survey plan receive
survey figures from the first of the
year. This plainly was against Mayor
Paines statement that the city had
offered all it could at the present time.

RUSHES
AS SESSION FACES
LAST FEW HOURS
Many important Bills Cleared
Away in Night Session Con-
tinuinq to Late Hour --HOuSe
Expected to Act on Mandate

WASHINGTON, June 5.-With sine
die adjournment set for pm, both
houses of congress faced busy sessions
today
were cleared away in night sessions
which lasted until early today, but
crowded calendars still confronted both
the house and the senate.
The house had been notified by
Chairman Porter of it's foreign affairs
committee that it would be called on
to act during the day on the senate
resolution declining to grant President
Wilson authority to assume on behalf
of the United states a mandate over
Armenia. Forty minutes debate was
to be permitted and amendments were
to be barred. Republican leaders ex
pect the resolution TO be adopted.
On the second important matter cons
fronting the house-the veto by the
president of the bill to establish a ma
tional budget system-leaders were un~
decided. Supporters of budget sys'
tenn We're urging that the provision
which the president found Objectionable
be eliminated while some Republican
members advocated that the bill be al
lowed to die. and the presidents veto
be used as campaign issue.
Decision Of the senate to reCede
from its amendments adding 1000, 900
to annual rivers and harbOrs appropri-
measureN which is the only one of the
big supply measures which have not
been sent to the president. The origi-
nal house bill carried $i2, 600 900. The
conference report on the third defici-
ency appropriation bill carrying $685.
600, 900 in Guiding $4,000, 600 to meet
the deficit resulting from government
control Of telegraph and telephone lines,
was adopted by both senate and house
early today.
The senate, at its night session con-
firmed the nomination Of about 500 post .
masters and when it convened today
about 500 more remained to be acted
on. Other pending nominations includ'
ed those of John SHELTON Williams to
be comptroller of the currency and OF
Martin j. Gillen to he a member OF
the shipping board. Indications We're
that neither Of these nominations would
be confirmed before adjournment.
Insistent demands from Senator llaF-
fis, Democrat, Georgia, had brought
from senate leaders the promise to act
on his resolution asking the treasury
department to make public the earn
ings of large corporations as shown by
income tax statements.
Measures on which legislative action
was completed last night and which
will go to the president today include:
The resolution repeating all war laws
with the exception of the Lever food
control act and the trading with the
enemy act; the bill granting increased
pay to postal employees beginning July
!, and the merchant marine bill.
Measures which leaders said were GER
tain to fail Of enactment include:

industry, various tariff>bills, the cold
storage bill, the sugar embargo bill

partment Of the Memphis CHAMBER OF

Not only is the division responsible
for the condition of the roads in the

nearing completion. Arrangements 5or
a royal reception and gay rounds Of en-

lated.
Inspection of roads OIL both sides Of
the river N Arkansas, Tennessee ana
Mississippi will take up most OF Mr.

to guide the convoy into Memphis is
also confronting the new president. .
