Home From Business at $50 Miles
an Hour.

LONDoN.-A Reuter- dispatch to
the Manchester Guardian from
Paris states that Parisians are con-
sidering the possibility Of flying to
their suburban homes in the evening
. at a speed OF $50 miles an hour: The
idea is not a new one, for In 1919 an
engineer. M. Francis Laur. proposea q
the construction of an aerial railway
consisting of an aeroplane guided by
a cable. The aeroplane. instead OF
flying freely. would be attached to an
electric cable supported by pylonsr
and would follow this cable through
wire to which the trolley pole Is at
tached. The war prevented any fur.
ther progress with the scheme.
In 1919 the inventor again brought
his plan to helnotice of the govern.
ment. and commission was appointed
to inquire into its possibilities. The
commission came to the conclusion
that the scheme should prove com.
mercially practicable. and it recon-.
mended the authorities to give M.
Laur all facilities for experiments on
a large scale. These experiments are
shortly to be carried out In the neigh
borhood of Peronne, where the de-
serted nature Of the country-the
heart of the devastated regions-will
reduce to q minimum any possibility

Tanlac is powerful reconstructige
tonic and quickly overcomes this con-
dition by aiding Nature to eliminate
the impurities from the system in a
natural way and enable the vital or
gans to properly perform their func-
tons. That is why it is called Ma

In fact, there is not single por,
ton of the body that is not benefited
by the helpful action of Tanlac, which
begins its work by stimulating the dI.

thereby enriching the blood and in

it enables the weak, worn-out stom-

convert the nourishing elements into

is you feel strong, sturdy and well

Nature intended.

Millions of people have not only
been relieved of the most obstinate
forms Of dyspepsia and indigestion by
Tanlac after other remedies have
failed, but large number of them
have reported remarkable and rapid
increase in weight and return to
normal health and strength by its use.
In fact, so phenomenal have been
the gains in weight by thin, frail peo-
pie through the use Of Tanlac that
this remarkable preparation is now
being proclaimed everywhere as the
Worlds Greatest Tonic.
The food people eat does them alb
aolutely no good unless they digest it
properly, When you suffer from in
digestion and other form OF stomach
trouble, the food does you harm in
stead of good, because food which is
not digested stays in tie stomach and
ferments, causing pains, swelling, gas
on stomach, shortness of breath, bad
taste in the mouth, dizziness and
many other disagreeabe symptoms.

Meuse-Argonne offensive Major
Opie denied the accusation and was
supported by comrades of the soldier
who made it. The testimony so far
submitted to tie committee has moi
been at all conclusive, and il remains
to be seen whether Senator Watson
can prove the charges he has made
against the A. E. +.
During the past week, information
was brought to the national legisla-
tive committee that the bureau of
efficiency had recommended to Gen
cral Sawyer, who in turn conveyed
the recommendation to the treasury
department, TO disenroll the medical
reserve officers Of the United States
Public Health Service serving in the
Hospitals and in the Veterans bureau
! and directly charged with the care
and treatment of the disabled ex-
Iservice mon. II this had become an
accomplished fact, the entire service
would have become demOraliZed and
disrupted. Your national legislative
committee Immediately took this mat
ter up with the executive heads Of
the government departments, and
through the cooperation Of the le-
gionnaires throughout the country, a
stop was put to this proposed move
meat. The response Of the various
der rtments of the Legion, in reply
to the request sent out by your legis-
/ lative committee, was immediate and
most satisfactory, and it is due to
the vigorous manner in which the
posts Of the Legion took action that
the favorable result was obtained.
On January ) the senate passed
joint resolution 1875, which in effect
provides three-year extension of
the statute Of limitations insofar as
the prosecution of draft evaders and
military deserters is concerned. 1t

to run until three years from the
date of the proclamation Of peace
promulgated by the president, if this
( bill becomes a law. This will allow

c oGGress rccOnvened on the third
OF January, and owing to the death
of the chairman of the senate finance
committee, Senator Boies Penrose, it
Immediately adjourned. Following
the-srdjnary procedure, Senator Port
e., j. McCumber, of North Dakota,
by reason of his seniority and being
the ranking member of the senate
finance committee, was moved up to
the Craftsmanship Of this committee.
Senator McCumber is the author of
tic Legion adjusted compensation
bill in the senate, and as he has .,4r-
ed believes this legislation is sim
pie justice for all ex-service men. hn
has previously stated to members Of
your legislative committee that this
will be enc of the bills to be con
sIdered in the first order of business
after the Christmas recess, and we
believe that since he is chairman of
the committee, our bill will now re-
ceive immediate attention and will
shortly be reported out for action by
the senate.
During the past week the appro-
pfiation committee had before it the
officers of the United States Vet
Grams bureau and considered the
estimates of the director of the bu-
Teau of the budget for the appropria-
ton for the beneficiaries of the bu-
reau. In the main, sentiment seems
to be crystallizing that the estimates
submitted by the director of the ap-
preparations will not be cut to any
great extent.

select committee of the senate in

WHAT TO DO
For Blackheads.

These are usually the result of too
much oil and powder left on the skin.
To remove them, wash very thorough
]y in warm, soft water until the skin
is we'll softened up; then pat into it
gently a cold cream. Let this remain
on the face an hour, then press out
the worst blackheads, but never be
too rough with the skin. Never press
it enough to leave red or deformed
spot, which will give cause for skin
bemishes to arise there and will do
more harm than good.
If you are not planning to press out
the blackheads, it is better not to rub
oil into the skim after the wash, but
to rinse it with very cold water to
close the pores and stimulate the skin
into healthy contracting. Witch-hazel
lemon juice, or any good astringen'
may then be rubbed on. Use little face
cream and powder as these induce
blackheads.
Steaming the face by washing in toe
hot water is rarely advisable as this

PICNIC FOR THE VETERANS.

1t is the annual custom of Henry
Watkins Allen Chapter, U. D. c., to
give a picnic to the local Confederate
veterans. This year August 5th, the
anniversary of the Battle of Baton
Rouge, has been selected as the date
for this affair. The picnic will be
given at the home of Mrs. Cordelia
Cheatham, who with her two daugh-
: ters are devoted members Of the
Chapter.
Under the grand old oaks will the
feast be spread and everything points
to fine gathering of the veterans and
the daughters.
The following committees have
been appointed to arrange for this
affair:
Transportation: Mrs. S. J. Powell
chairman; Mrs. Robt. Day, Mrs. l.

PATTERN ECONOMY.

Strange how slow we are about
learning some of the simplest things
which have to do with our daily lives.
In the making of cakes, for instance,
we used to have several hundred re-
cipes, one for each variety; and we
couldn't make any cake without the
recipe for that particular species.
Finally somebody discovered the
principles of cake making, the rules
of proportion and substitution and
what each of the different ingredients
would do. With this standard recipe
in mind, and the principles under
stood. we now adapt it to infinite
variations.
As to dress-making, it was FORM
erly our habit to look over the fash
ion plates, select the style which
pleased our fancy, and Immediately
buy a pattern. At last, somebody
has discovered that dresses, too, can
be reduced to rules and regulations;
that changes of line and proportion
90 according to system; and that
any bright woman, with one stand
ard nattern. can adapt it to all the
styles even Paris can concoct.
Domestic science teachers are IN
structing classes everywhere in this
gentle art, and perhaps the fact that
pattern prices have doubled and treo-
led has had an exhilarating effect on
the movement.
Nowadays the resourceful needle-
woman has a pattern Of cambr'c NJ
ted to her with precision,-a PLAIN,
standard pattern. She marks in 1t all
the notches, the width Of seams, and
all other details of indication. From
this she makes dresses, wide or mar
row, pleated or plain, flaring or
straight.
To make a pattern larger or small
er for anyone else, she cuts it through
the center and inserts the necessary
width, or lays fold to take it up.
Given goods, one pattern, and one
applicant for gown, and there IS
| little the smart seamstress Of today
cannot do!

THE RAILROADS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES.

On the subject of railroads and striking employees many
our citizens we regret say condemn the latter for their a

decidedly favor of the employees who are demanding nothing
more than fair wage with which to support themselves and their
loved ones according the American standard Of living These
men are among law abiding citizens and of class con-

fore they should be encouraged instead of being considered NAL
contents of destructive tendencies
They are feowczens and neighbors and are rearing
families among and entitled to the sympathy of our people
rather than the millionaire s0ckhOder OF New York and ohe
moned who would it possible make serfs OF
skllful mechanics and Industrious aborers.
That they will succeed finally securing what they are de-
mandng goes without saying All they have to do is to wait pa
ien avoid unlawful keep hoeaded members IN the back
ground and all will end favoaby and they desire In union
there strength and theirs union of strength and resources
The struggle Womans Enterprise understands not Tor
increase of wages but prevent further reduction OF that
pad at present. One reduction has been made since the close
the World and another proposed and the men suom'
this time there is no telling where reductions will end
Under the circumstances this extends Its sympav u

Owing to the fact that this vacation season ana na oss
