Labor Council to Settle Disputes
Being Formulated.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Agreement on
railroad legislation is now expected by
house and senate conferees on the
Esch and Cummins bills.
Two points remained unsettled when
the discussions were resumed. One
was whether the law shall prescribe
the rate deemed adequate to insure
railroad owners certain definite
financial return when the lines are
handed back to them or whether the
Interstate commerce commission shall
be allowed to fix the rate. The other
was whether the law shall set up a
labor tribunal to adjust strikes and
other disputes between workers and
management.
: There will BE no anti-strike provi-
sion in the bill as reported from con-
ference. according to present indiea-
tions.
To Increase L. C. c.
In general. conferees said the meas
ire that comes from conference will
recognize long established theories of
railroad legislation rather than new
ideas 1t will make the function of
the interstate commerce commission
more important than at present. Be
cause OF the added responsibility and

cases and will find means to take care
of the sufferers, either at the hospital
or by providing nurses or help in the

no time to listen TO dog complaints and
reports of offensive smells.

Create Fund for Flu.
A means of financing the city's cam
paign against the influenza epidemlc
was suggested today by w. H Was
son, commissioner of finance. Was
son reported to the commission today
that there was balance of S11, 561.2S
left in the citytreasu ry from 1919.
First reading was held on a resolu-
ton to turn this money back into the
general fund, credited pro rata to the
different city departm ents.
Wasson's suggestion is that each
commissioner turn his share of this
sum into a fund to be used in meet
ing the flu emergency
The report to the commission
showed that s24s,522.7s was collected
from taxes last year and $7s,os4.2s
from other sources. Expenditures
totalled 1915. o55.75. leaving g, balance
of S11, 561.2S.
City Health Order.
Following is Doctor Browns order
prohibiting public funerals of flu
deaths:
State board of health regulations declare
that in case of death from certain infec-
tious- diseases, dangerous to the public
health. public funerals Will not be allowed.
Influenza is declared to be infectious,
contagious and communicable in its nature.
who are brought in contact with cases of
communicable diseases often acquire in
lection, and even tho they may manifest
no active symptoms of the disease, are cap
able of transmitting the infection to others
in more virulent form. and since public
funerals promote contact between relatives
of deceased persons and the general public.
therefore public funerals are prohibited IN
cases where a person has died Of influenza
or any of its complications. Children are
forbidden to attend funerals.

GOES TO TOWN
For First Time In Many
Years.
Tanlac Entirely Relieves Mrs.
Pitts of Rheumatism.

This is the first time in years that
have been away from home, and if
you had seen what a dreadful condi-
ton was in five or six years ago you
store now" said Mrs. M. A. Pitts, of
Hanna City, ILL.,. in relating her re-
markable experience to the Tanlac
representative at the Sutliff & Case
drug store in Peoria, a few days ago.
AT the time L began taking Tan
lac" explained Mrs. Pitts. Il was so
crippled up with rheumatism that !
couldn't even walk across the house
without stopping for my pain to ease
up. But now I am feeling as well as
did twenty-five years ago and l
want everybody to know that it's all
because of what Tanlac has done for
me.
MY arms and legs panied me con-
tinually so that there was no ease or
comfort for me day nor night. Ny
knees were so stiff, swollen and sore
that when L tried to take step they
almost gave way The pain nearly
drove me distracted. 1 had been suf-
fering this way for twenty years and
tried SO many different liniments and
medicines with no relief that / scarce
ly had any hopes of ever getting any
better. My appetite was never very
good either. and my stomach was also
in bad condition.
''Well, never thought there was
medicine in the world that could help
my rheumatism. But a person never
gets too old to learn, for I had taken
Tanlac but a few days when l could
feel my pains easing up. After taking
it for about two weeks and found
could walk all over the house without
feeling a pain, I was the happiest
woman you. could find. 1 noticed my
elbows were not so stiff and sore and
1 could raise my hands to eat without
suffering near SO much. Then 1 felt
so encouraged that my husband sent
for several more bottles of Tanlac
and now I am not only rid of the
rheumatism, but my appetite is just
wonderful and my stomach seems in
better condition than it ever was. Be-
fore taking Tanlac 1 hadn't slept well
in years. but now ] sleep all night
long just like a child. Well. it is
nothing less than wonderful the way
Tanlac has gotten me over the rheu
matism. Why, my limbs are as free
from pain as when I was a girl. am
now able to do all my Homework and.
as I said, feel as we'll as / did TWEEN
ty-five years ago. You can just ask
any of my neighbors out there at
Hanna City, for they all know what a
bad fix was in and will tell you how
easily get around now and enjoy my
self again after being housed up for
SO many years unable to get off the
place. and I will never get through
tpraising Tanlac.'

TO REPEAL WHEAT CONTROL.
Csronna Bill in Congress Designed to
Cut (sOst of Living

Washington Feb. 4.-Repeal of the
wartime act giving the federal gov
eminent control over the price and
distribution of wheat IS proposed in
a bill introduced by Chairman Gronna
of the senate agriculture committee,
to which the measure was referred.
Among other things the bill would
abolish the United States grain
eorporation.l
Repeal of the law was necessary,
Senator Gronna declared, to give the
farmer a fair price and encourage
production this year. Predictions that
wheat prices would drop upon statu-
tory expiration of the price provisions
June l. were entirely erroneous, he
said. adding that by that time the
farmers OF the country would have
lost close to $2,O00.000,000 because of
government interference.
