Stomach Disorders
First Revealed by
Coated Tongue

Your tongue is nothing more
than the upper end of your stom-
ach and intestines. 1t is the first
thing your doctor looks at. 1t tells
ut a glance the condition of your
digestive system-and physicians
say that 900 of all sickness starts
with stomach and bowel trouble.
A coated tongue is a danger sig
nal of those digestive disorders
which lead to SO many kinds Of
serious illness. 1t tells why the
least exertion tires you out; why
you have pains in the bowels, gas,
sour stomach, dizzy spells.
Coating on the tongue is a sign
that you need Tanlac-the medi-
cine which has helped thousands
who we're physical wrecks from
stomach and bowel troubles-who
had tried everything" in vain and
about given up hope.
Tanlac contains no mineral
drugs; it is made Of banks, herbs
and roots. Get a bottle from your
druggist today. Your money back
II it doesn't help you.

KNICKERBOCKER GROUP
CAPTURES WHIST TROPHY
New York Club Wins Over Com
petitors in Test for National
Auction Honors.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November IS. The
Knickerbocker Whist Club of New York
City yesterday won the Cleveland Whist
Club trophy for the national auction
team of four championship, after de-
feating the Chicago Auction Club en-
tries in close hold-over match.
Play to decide which team was the
best at auction ended last night, al
though 1t was considered part of the
American Bridge League Tournament,
which closed Saturday night. The VIC
tory of the Knickerbocker players settled
a friendly "grudge" between the respec-
tive clubs.
The trophy winners had no easy time
winning the national championship. At
the end of the 52-deal match, the teams
splitting the deals, the result was tie.
A 12-deal playoh match between the
Chicago and New York teams gave the
latter three-up victory and entitled
them to the trophy.
The cup was offered by Maurice
Maschke, Cleveland, an honorary mem
Der of the Cleveland Whist Club, and
was presented by him to the winners.
In commenting upon the five-day
tournament, william McKenney, ma
tionally recogized authority on bridge
and the author of several books on the
game, said that 1t had been the most
successful yet conducted by the Ameri-
can Bridge League. He stated that the
competition had been keener and the
attendance larger than during any
bridge tourney he had witnessed.

LONDON, November 25.-Women who
work to get money to spend, and not be-
cause they are obliged to support
themselves, are guilty of social and
economic wrongdoing in the opinion Of
J. II. Thomas, lord privy seal and min
lister Of employment.
EFT Is not only uneconomic and not
only unfair" he said In a speech before
the House of Commons, "but against the
nations interests for women to work
for what they call pin money and de-
prive other people Of legitimate work"
Mr.. Thomas also denounced men who,
while receiving pensions at public ex-
pense, engaged in work which deprived
other people Of their living. He declared
their action morally was wrong.

Steam Power Goes Ahead,
Says Commission in An

Hydroelectric has. failed to forge
ahead of steam power development be-
cause of reduction in cost of steam gen.
Grafton and because of the lack OF
constructive public cooperation" the
Federal Power Commission revealed in
its annual report, made public yes
terday.
Passing over without mention the
accounting difficulties which the COM
mission had emphasized in past re-
ports, it stressed that many of the
water power problems should be deter
mined ION sound engineering and social
principles instead of through the
stretching of many inapplicable laws
and court decisions over this troubled
field"
"The control of certain abuses" the
report continued, has led to unneceS-
sary handicaps for legitimate enter
pr1ses. The existing taxation has at
times been unfair, and regulation is still
seeking for the guidance Of generally
acceptable policies and principles"
For State to Regulate.
Discussing public utility regulation,
the commission indicated that 1t con-
sidered this a field almost exclusively
for State activity. Asserting that reg
ulation Of power rates is local prob
lem, the commission said that "prac-
tically all of the States in which power
plants are being operated under license
have duly constituted agencies to con-
troll the service rendered and rates
charged to consumers
LAS a matter of fact" it continued
"the generated capacity operating I'M
der license from the commission COM
priSes such small total in public util-
fly service throughout the country that
IL would hardly be considered more
than minor factor under any circum-
stances"
The power under Federal license was

power of the country, while the latter
was between "a and 20 per cent Of
total electrical energy produced.
Purpose of Congress.
Enthusiastically 1t was the purpose
Of Congress in passing the Federal
water power act in 1920 to encourage
and stimulate the development and
utilization of the Nations latent water
power resources" the report said.
MANY large projects have been con-
etructed and brought into operation I'M
der the provisions of the act" 1t added,
but in view Of the fact that water
power has barely maintained its share
Of the vastly expanded market in COM
petition with fuel power, there may be
some question as to whether the OBJ

achieved"

PARIS, November IS R).-Aga Khan,
wealthy Indian sportsman whose APP
preaching marriage to Marcelle Carron,
comparatively poor young French
girl, has attracted wide attention, will

He has been given dispensation by the

few days earlier. The ceremony will be

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

October 8, 1857-Important street
and building improvements have been
made, or are under way, in various
parts of Washington this season.
The tide of real estate speculation
has turned recently toward the Island
by improvements in this section, lying
south of the City Canal. Persons with
capital are looking for quicker returns
from investments in building lots III
this part of the city than elsewhere
at this time.
In the Northern Liberties also there
have been Improvements. Seventh
street northwest from H to L street
has been cut down several feet ana
the cutters on either side of the street
have been taken up. The street has
been widened from 3 to feet and
repaved.
M street northwest is being graded
by E. G. Barnes, under the supervision
of Commissioner owen, from Sixth
street to New York avenue. This work
has been needed for long time and
will be a great convenience to the
public, particularly to country people.
who will find the street direct route
to the business portion OF Seventh
street.
Building operations in this part OF
the city-the Northern LibertieS-are
active. At the corner of Seventh ana
l. streets j. H. Stone, druggist, Is
erecting a brick house with a frontage
of 20 feet and a depth of Sc feet, with
cast-iron window cases and other mod
ern improvements.
On M street northwest between Sixth
and Seventh streets Jerome Degges is
erecting a house adjoining his own
private residence. 1t is three stories
high, with a basement. 1t has a
frontage of 20 feet and a depth OF
1872 feet, with a large yard in the
rear. to which is attached a brick
stable. 1t has the conveniences Of
water and gas. Such houses cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and will rent
readily for $500 year.
On Sixth street northwest between
IN and N streets w. H. Parker is build
ing two substantial brick houses, eacn
with a 16-foot front and depth OF
so feet, three stories high They be-
long to H. P. Lewis and the estate or
the late John Mcleod, carpenter.
Still higher up on Sixth street, az
the corner of N street, stands a beau
tiful new Episcopal chapel in tins
Gothic style, built under the mission
airy supervision of Trinity Church, Of
which Rev. Mr.. Cunmins is pastor.
This little edifice is one of the most
attractive features of this portion OF
the Northern Liberties.
