Relief Is Found From Stomach
 Trouble

Hope for the millions of unfortunate men and women who are victims of stomach trouble is sounded by Will liam Hoylen, of 16 Spring St., Bristol, Conn. Mir. Hoylen was a victim of stomach trouble in its worst form, but was completely restored to health by taking Tanlac. He says:
 ''FOr fifteen years I had attacks of stomach trouble, and had been in bed for three weeks when I got Tanlac, but three bottles built me up fifteen pounds, and made a we'll man of me. 1 am now eating steak and onions, and feel just fine in every way"
 Undigested food ferments in the stomach and soon the entire system is filled with poisons. Tanlac was de signed to restore the stomach to healthy condition and build up the whole body. Millions everywhere have acclaimed its wonderful power. Get bottle today.
 Tanlac is sold by all good druggists. Advertisement.

Waited Lona for Eortune.

He might have been rich 15 years ago, but Belgian who purchased a bond in 1903 hadn't applied for the list of numbers drawn in state lot teries in 1907. A poor man from the country happening to be in Antwerp for the first time for many years, en- tered the offices of the Caisse Com munale to see If the bond which he had taken out in the loan of 1903 had won prize in the yearly lottery. After waiting impatiently while the cashier searched the records he was informed that his number had been drawn in 1907, and that he was en- titled to a bonus of 100000 francs (S40,000 at normal exchange rates).

British Plan to Prevent War.

LondOn.-The declaration that Great Britain does not intend to engage in any new war, obtained from authori- tative sources, coupled with other statements of a modified policy, is taken to mean that the series of cab met meetings and ministerial confer ences in the last few days has been partly in preparation for possible at Jacks on the British forces by the Kemalists and partly as a plain prep aration for the contemplated general conference for the settlement of the Turkish question.

Jackson Takes Tragedy in Silence.

Jackson, Calif.-Jackson took its greatest tragedy in silence. After the first nasty news that fOrty-seven men had been found dead in the ArgOnaut mine, crowds flowed from homes, stores and hotels. Relatives of some of the dead could be seen walking slowly, calmly, to the telegraph of flee to send word to other relatives in distant cities that there no longer was any hope JacksOn's long period of bitter anxiety, desperate struggle and suspense was over.

TRAPPED MEN MET DEATH WITH IN FIVE HOURS AFTER
 FIRE.
AT MINERS ARE DEAD
ARGoNAUT VICTIMS DIED AFTER HEROIC FIGHT FOR
 LIFE.

Jackson, Calif.-All fOrty-seven min CTS, entombed in the ArgOnaut mine Aug. 27, are dead. A note found on one of the bodies indicated that all the men had died within five hours of the beginning of the fire, Aug. ?. of ficials said.
 All the miners were found behind the second of two bulkheads they had built in a crosscut, 1850 feet down in the Argonaut mine. Byron O. Pickard, chief of the federal bureau of mines for this district, was the first man to go behind the bulkhead and discover the bodies.
 The note which was found read: "S a. m., gas bad"
 The same note bore a scrawIed fig ure A." apparently indicating the same man had attempted to leave word of the condition of the mine at that hour for those who might come after.
 Mine officials declared that the con- dition of the crosscut behind the bulk head was such that life could not have been sustained there by the entOmbed men for more than five hours.
 The bodies were found piled one on top of another and decomposition had progressed so far that identification would be impossible, Pickard reported.
 The officials declared the mute evi- dence of the mems struggles showed they were forty-seven of the most cool-headed men imaginable.
 Sixteen of the entrapped miners re- moved their clothes to provide mate rial for stuffing the cracks in the wooden barrier, hastily constructed, which was found only this evening.
 The barrier was built of earth, rock and debris. However, the gas and fumes from the fire apparently seeped through the first bulkhead and the men fled the site where they were building the second to start third, farther on.
 This third attempt to wall off the death-dealing gas was made at the end of the 4,350-foot crosseut in the Argonaut, but the fact that only a bare start was made at it proved, the mine officials said, that the deadly carbon monoxide and the suffocating carbon dioxide had reached it and performed their fatal office before the forty-seven unfortunates could raise even an excuse for a barrier.
 Mine officials said that death had come to the entombed men painlessly. The gases, they said, would produce first a lethargy, then a coma and finally death.
 After the discovery of the fire, Aug. 27, government and state mining ex- perts joined with mine officials in forming an official rescue committee and it was decided to cut through to the ArgonaHt from the adjoining Ken nedy mine by means of two abandoned tunnels which were closed up in fire in the Argonaut two years ago. These constituted extensions of the 3,600 and 3,9O0-foot levels of the Kennedy. Their progress at times was fairly rapid, at others handicapped by loose and sticky muck.

RETURNS BILL
 TO CONGRESS PRESIDENT STATES COUNTRY CANNOT PAY MORE
 TAXES. HARDING YETOES BONUS EXECUTIVES ACTION REGARDED AS DEATH BLOW TO
 MEASURE.

hington-President Harding ve- tOed the soldiers bonus bill, informing | Congress in a written message that while he was in accord with "the avowed purpose" of the measure, he | did not subscribe to it's provisions.
 The executives action was regarded generally in Washington as making im- possible a bonus for the World War veterans, at least for some time to come
 Mir. Harding set forth number of reasons for returning the bill to the House without his approval. These in- cluded:
 Failure of Congress to provide a means of financing.
 That inevitably the bonus would mean increased taxation.
 That the legislation would wipe out everything thus far accomplished to reduce government expenditures wher- ever possible.
 That a peace bestowal on the ex- servicemen was "a perversiOn of public funds" and suggested "that future de fense is to be inspired by cOmpensa- ton rather than consciousness of duty to flag and country
 That to add one-sixth of the total sum of the public debt for distribution among less than five million of 110,- 100000 people would undermine cOnfi- dence on which the nations credit was builded and establish the precedent of distributing public funds whenever the proposal and the numbers affected make it seem politically appealing to do so.''
 That the $1O,OOO,OOOOOO of maturing public debt in the next six years would be difficult to meet without adding the complication of added Dor rOwings on account of a bonus.
 That the adjusted service certifi- cate plan of payment, with it's bank and government loan provisions, was little less than certified inability of the government to pay and invited a ''practice of sacrificial barter" by the veterans.
 That the bonus would not diminish the later obligation in the way of pen siOns to the World War veterans.
 Asserting that this obligation would "cost more billions than I venture to suggest" the President declared that a rational financial policy to-day is necessary to make the nation ready for the expenditure which is certain to be required in the coming years"
 Only once did the President refer to the interest on the foreign debt out of which proponents of the bill have cOntended it could be paid.
 He told Congress that the govern ment was facing a deficit of $650, ,O00,- 900 during the current fiscal year and a further deficit for the year sue ceeding, "even after counting upon all interest collections on foreign indebt- edness which the government is likely to receive"
 MT. Harding also called attention to the sums now being expended for the care of the diseased, disabled or de- pendent and asserted that the total of this work, with insurance liability added, probably would exceed $25,- OO0,OOO,OOO.
