said I'VE are just so happy over
the change Tanlac has made in our
little girl that %e cant do or say
enough TO show our appreciation.
She had lost nearly 20 pounds in

Mrs. Catherine McCabe, Ala Dick

she would be with me now if it
hadn't been for Tanlac. 1t is a

got at Christmas. Since taking
Tanlac she is as hardy and well as

r The city officials took the stand
that mail boxes are places for the
sole purpose of receiving mail and
that when they are used by out
siders to place advertising, to the
extent of excluding the regular
mail the interests of the resident
so affected are jeopardized, as
highly important mail may be lost.
AS the only practical means to
handle the situation the commits

to provide that all matter placed
in mail boxes must carry postage.
The amendment was made to Sec

MOTORING IN JAPAN

Of them.
"When you pass the corner and the
bridge, ring the horn"
"Drive slowly when you meet the
horse or the cattle; do not make them
afraid, and carefully make the sound"
"Do not drive the motor when you
get drunk, and do not smoke on the
drivers seat"
"When you drive the motor car do
not leave the drivers seat, and take
care lest Unexpected trouble hap
pen."
"When anything the matter with
your car, go to the Police Station and
tell him."
Especial Notice. You must never
put overload on your automobile. The
licensed capacity of your Ford car is
five passengers, two in front and three

Tinkering With Rail Law

Washington - S. Davies Warfield,
president of the national association
of owners of railroad securities,
wants additional railroad legislation.
The plan provides for the creation
of a new body to purchase all rail
road supplies. Committees would be
created to investigate useless eX-
penditures, Standardization of all
kinds, the possible use of joint ter
minals, yards and shop facilities, cost
of carrying, working conditions,
wages and other features entering
into the successful management of
railroads.
Aside from the value of the new
proposal it is significant that with
praise heaped on the transportation
act, drastic changes are being dis
cussed after the law is but one year
old.
Mr.. Warfield is credited in some
quarters with being the author of the
Cummins-Esch law. In the 1920 issue
of the Journal of National Institute
of Social Sciences, Mr.. Warfeld's
biography as a banker includes the
statement that he organized the ma
tional association of owners of rail-
road securities and that "the work
of Mr.. Warfeld's organization re-
suited in the passage of the trans
portation act"

Oppose Sales Tax Bill

CinEinnati-John P. Frey, editor Of
the International Molders' Journal,
suggests that trade unionists awake
to the Importance of the proposed
sales tax, now advocated in Wash
ngton, as a means of raising national
taxes. The unionist says:
"What a certain group of rep
resentatives are attempting in con-
gress is nothing less than removing
the excess profits tax now paid by
manufacturers and placing the
burden directly upon consumers.
Such a tax would make the wage
earners heavier burden bearers than
before, and would exempt those most
able to pay a proper tax from as
suming such an obligation.
"The sales tax bill is an effort on
the part of certain financial interests
to secure exemption from taxation
and to have their burden shifted to
consumers so that the government
may gather a direct tax from every
wage Garner, each time they pur-
chase any article.
"Local unions and members, inter
ested in knowing exactly what is in
volved in a sales tax should write to
Congressman John A. Frear Of Wis
consin, house office building, Wash
ington, D. Co.. for copy of a speech
he delivered on this subject, Jan. 81"

Special to The Evening Journal

Special to The Evening Journal
NEWARK, Aug. 26.-For the
fourth time within several weeks and
the second time in two days fire was
discovered shortly after 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning in the Newark
Inn, on Main street. Menu ars Of
the family of Mrs. George McGov-
ern, proprietress of the restaurant,
suspect fire bug is at work.
The fire yesterday is thought to
have started in a closet on the third
floor and spread to three other
rooms on that floor No one IL is
said was occupying any Of the rooms
on the third floor at this time. The
local fremen extinguished the flames
after cutting several holes in the
roof to get to the fire. The loss is
reported to be about $1,000.
About noon Wednesday there was
another fire in the restaurant but
IL was extinguished before much
damage was done. Several days
ago fire was discovered in the same
building in a ROOFS occupied by Bert
Everson. formerly well known base
ball pitcher of Wilmington. Previ-
Gus to this two fires at different
times were said to have been dis
covered in the basement in piles Of
rubbish.
