Columbus, O.. Aug. 1s.-Publicity was discussed today by Governor Cox with Senator Harrison of the na- tional speakers bureau.
 The governor has tabooed profes- sional press agents or personal pub licity directors but he has other pub licity suggestions in mind.
 He has refused to have plain clothes men accompany him on speaking tours but his friends are urging that a big bulky man be assigned to him if only as human wedge for clear ing paths through crowds.

 An SS year old patria filled a long pipe and the governor took his whiff as the pipe went around He asked his visitors to bring a buffalo to Washington for him on March I.

Owing to a slight miSunderstand'

The new songs by the choir and

The theme of discourse was "The
Six Steps to the Throne" The
speaker said that Solomon had the
most glorious surroundings known
even to ancient orientals, and his
throne of ivory, overlaid with gold
was the most beautiful Of all; that
the footstool Of gold represents man
under the dominion of sin, and the
throne represents humanity re-
deemed through Christ; that man,
fallen to the lowest depths. still has
within him great possibilities.
The steps from the position of sin
to redeemed humanity were named
as follows: First, acknowledgment
Of sin," and sin was defined as the
transgression of Gods law: sin is
self-separation from God. Second,
acknowledgment of DEATH dead in
sin. He stated that harmony with
God means to be alive, and without
that harmony we are spiritually dead.
The speaker said: Man fixes his
own destiny. God does not send men
to hell. but stands ready to snatch
him out of the pathway then if he
will only call for mercy. Third, &c
acknowledgement Of impotency." Man
needs help. Even the omnipotent
God cannot save a man so long as
be thinks he can save himself. Fourth,

rs CRANDEsT IN
THE WORLD TODAY"
Minnesota Man Carries Tanlac 800
Miles to Be Sure Not to
Be Without It.

There is no doubt in my mind that
Tanlac is the grandest medicine in
the world today. Why, have gained
fifteen pounds in weight since l
started taking it and am enjoying
better health than | have in years, =
said Robert Kruse, Lancaster, Mimi,
horse dealer and farmer, while tell
ing of his experience with Tanlac in
Boysons drug store in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, recently.
. Il want six bottles OF Tanlac now
and the address of this store so
can order some more when l get
back home. They keep it on sale in
Lancaster, but there is such a de-
mand for it they had run out when
/ left home, and although it is 500
miles from here / am going to take
this six bottles with me to make sure
] have some when get back. For
seven years l had suffered from
stomach trouble, and although l tried
many different treatments and medi-
cines nothing ever did me any good
until got hold of Tanfac. My appe-
tite was so poor had gotten to the
point where I just had to force down
every mouthful l ate, and when l did
suffered with a terrible burning SEN
sation as if there was ball of fire
in the pit OF my stomach for hours
My nerves were also bad
ly upset, SO much so that / only
slept few minutes at time during
the night and could seldom stay in
the bed later than 3 or o'clock in
the morning as | would become so
restless I just had to get up. l had
lost great deal Of weight, too, and
was in badly rundown condition
every way.
Il saw so much of the good Tan
lac was doing others / decided to try
it myself, and had taken only few
doses when l began to feel lots bet
ter. I have only taken three bottles
SO far, but that has been enough to
make me feel just like a different
person. l now have a splendid Ape
tite and can eat anything want and
all / want without having a particle
of trouble with my stomach. My
nerves are in splendid condition and
l can sleep all night long without
ever waking up and always get up in
the morning feeling simply fine. In
fact, / feel as good every way as I
ever remember feeling in my life and
while l believe I am entirely rid of
my troubles I am going to take few
more bottles Of Tanlac to be abso-
lutely sure they will not return . 1
never expect to be without it in my
house and I could stand here and
talk to you all day without being
able to tell you what a grand medi-
cine l think it is"

Mrs. Golfers work in this organiza-
tion was referred to and tribute paid
to her for the success she made of the
Benevolent Union.
Mrs. Winona E. Reeves spoke on
AN Answer to Knockers" Women
who solicited funds for the Benevolent
Union had been questioned in such !;
way that adverse criticism of the
Benevolent Union had been implied
The most repeated statement was
that this organization was not a char
ity but something paid for. In social
work, the word, charity" has been
outgrown. This is philanthropic
undertaking. 1t is less than half self
supporting. The rates charged the
old ladies who come there to make
their home is computed like an insur-
ance rate. For any one over eighty
years old, $500 is required; under
eighty years, $1,000 After giving the
home a trial, the ladies can leave and
take their money with them, if they
wish to. IL Is worth while to have
such a home even if the women do
pay part of the expenses because it
caters to class of homeless women
who could not be happy in a county
home or similar institution.
Another criticism has BEEN that
these old ladies who are residents
are maintained in luxury and comfort.
They do have conveniences but it is
splendid that they do. What thet
have are elements of home, not
merely an existence. And hor1
could not be made for sixteen people
on less than $4,000, the amount spent
during the past year.
