Young vigor
to old folks
'"Five years of poor
health followed by
influenza and pleu-
risy left m s too weak

tny time had come.
My niece recom-
mended Tanlac. It
added years to my
life; Ifeelyoungatid

Mrs. Sarah A. Vose,
63WellsSt., Wilkes•
barre. Pa.
On© of Tanlac’s greatest bless-
ings is the new life and vigor it
brings to old folks. Every day men
and women up in the seventies
and eighties thank us for Tanlac’s
wondrous benefits,
Tanlac is a natural tonic, made
from roots, barks and rare herbs.
Harmless to man or child. It
cleans the blood, stirs up the liver
and puts digestive organs in work-
ing order.
If your body is weak and run-
down, if you lack ambition, can’t
eat or sleep, you’ll be delighted
with Tanlac’s results. Take Taniao
Vegetable Pills for constipation.

Washington.—Peru and Chile have
accepted the friendly intervention of
the United States government, for di-
rect settlement of their old quarrel
over Tacna-Arica, relieving the stead-
ily increasing tension that has result-
ed from the attempt to solve the prob-
lem by arbitration.
Correspondence between the three
governments is in progress to deter-
mine the procedure to be followed in
seeking an amicable adjustment, as to
future sovereignty of the two prov-
inces.
Secretary Kellogg is confident that
such an adjustment can be reached
through direct negotiations.
'The white house announced that
the good offices tender did not nec-
essarily mean that the plebiscite, pro-
vided for under the arbitration award
of President Coolidge, had been aban-
doned, but it was added that the ar-
bitration machinery, including plans,
for the plebiscite, will suspend motion
while the mediation movement is un-
der way.
There can be no question that the'
Washington government feels greatly
relieved at the new turn of events.
Indictions have been multiplying for
weeks, that officials at Washington
had become convinced the plebiscite
could be put through only at enorm-
ous expense and with grave risk of;
bloodshed and even with the proba-
bility it would evoke the warfare it
was designed to prevent.
The plebiscite was provided for ori-
ginally in the peace treaty of 1883,
which ended the war between Chile
and Peru, and by virtue of which
Chile occupied the Tacna and Arica
provinces and exercised all soverign
rights, pending final determination of
the sovereignty.

Washington.—The 465,642 farms
and the farm buildings of Texas are
worth $3,055,993,531, the census
bureau announced Tuesday, making
public the 1925 farm census of Texas.
This is the highest normal farm
value in Texas history, although dur-
ing the war inflation caused a value
of $3,700,172,319 to be placed on Tex-
as farms.
. Land alone accounted for $2,634,-
886,812 of the Texas value and build-
ing per farm in Texas was $6563 or
$27.83 per acre.
Texas -has 182,973 owner farmers,
1447 manager farmers and 281,222
tenant farmers. Sixty per cent of
Texas farms wTere operated by ten-
ants at the time of the census, com-
pared with 53.3 per cent in 1920.
Additional benefits of $28,811,113
have been received by some 55,000 dis-
abled World war veterans under the
operation of the Reed-Johnson bill
which was passed in June, 1924, un-
der the sponsorship of the American
Legion.
Approximately 30,000 of the 55,000
benefiting by the liberalizing pro-
visions of the law had never before
received compensation from the gov-
ernment in any form, according to in-
formation received from the United
States veterans’ bureau by Legion
rehabilitation officials in Washington.
Twelve thousand veterans suffering
from tuberculosis were awarded $18,-
000,000 in compensation. Mentally in-
competent veterans got $7,500,000 in
added benefits under the new law.
Dependents of disabled veterans to
the number of 4,336 received addi-
tional allowances totaling $300,497,
and 12,344 dependents of deceased
veterans received increased allow-
ances amounting to $1,154,280. Vet-
erans received in allowances for nurses
and attendants $525,800. Nearly $1,-
000,000 in compensation was awarded
to 800 veterans in the so-called “wil-
ful misconduct” cases.
Nearly 10,000 veterans have ob-
cained hospital treatment under the
general hospitalization provision of
the Reed-Johnson bill. This provides
that veterans may get treatment re-
gardless of the nature or origin of
their ailment.
Hundreds of thousand of cases
which had been lying untouched in the
veterans’ bureau, because inade-
quacies in the law prior to the pass-
age of the Reed-Johnson bill, made
it impossible to take favorable action
upon them, are now being reviewed by
the veterans’ bureau. This review,
which was suggested by Legion oflfi-
cials, is now well advanced.
Additional extensions and clarifica-
tions of the laws affecting the dis-
abled were sought from congress at
Its session beginning In December,
1925. "When these extensions and
clarifications are made,” Watson B.
Miller, chairman of the Legion’s na-
tional rehabilitation committee, de-
clared, “the most remarkable mile-
stone in the progress of the United
States towards the rehabilitation of
its war disabled will have been ac-
complished.” -•
Mexicans Attack Americans.
• Mexico City.—The kidnaping of a
party of American mining engineers,
who were tied to trees, is the latest
in a series of recent attacks on Amer-
icans. Near Asarco, in the state of
Durango, bandits Seized C. D. Weaver,
Jr., Emil K. Eglan and A. P. Morris
and Adolph Matz, a German, and
robbed them of about 500 pesos and
all-their jewelry. The men were car-
ried captives into the hills and tied
to trees.
Profits of Texas Roads Less.
Austin, Tex.—Texas railroads in
1925 made less profit than in 1924.
For the twelve months ending De-
cember 31, 1925, they had a net oper-
ating income of $32,249,131, a de-
crease of $3,604,432, or 9.04 per cent,
as compared with the same period in
1924 the Texas railroad commission
announced Firday.
Reserves Right To Withdraw. ~
Berlin.—Foreign Minister Strese-
mann told the reichstag Wednesday
that Germany reserves the right to
withdraw her application for entry in-
to the league of nations in the event
the decision of the new commission
regarding reconstruction of the coun-
cil does not correspond with Ger-
many’s expectations.
Monuments For American Dead.
Washington.—Completion of all
monuments and chapels in American,
military cemeteries and battlegrounds
abroad by the tenth anniversary of
the armistice in 1928 is provided in
the latest plans of the battle monu-
ments commission, headed by Genera]
John J. Pershing.

Cut Out Red Tape in
Reinstating Insurance
The department of Minnesota of the
American Legion has .recently "an-
nounced a plan that will cut much of
the red tape that tends to prevent
veterans from reinstating their insur-
ance, according to recent announce-
ment at department headquarters at
St. Paul.
The Legion has proposed that the
posts hold a series o^J^ial insur-
ance meetings with t\ Mvernment
representatives, a physicralPand an in-
surance executive present to examine
the applicants and take definite action
on their individual cases. This, the
Legion pointed out, would eliminate
virtually all red tape, which became
so distasteful to the former fighters
that many of them are willing to sacri-
fice their federal insurance to avoid
further entanglements.
The plan will be tried out in Minne-
sota and if the response warrants it
national Legion ^officials will be ap-
proached with a view to extending the
movement to all states, said Edwin L.
Lindell, department adjutant.
War Risk Policies for
New Jersey Policemen
When Joseph F. Deegan, service of-
ficer of the American Legion connect-
ed with the veterans’ bureau office at
Newark, N. J., heard that four police-
jnen in Raritan township had been
refused insurance by old-line com-
panies because of the “hazardous na-
ture” of their occupation he took steps
by which the men are now adeqi.iat.ely
insured by the government. Deegan
found thaf the policemen were all ex-
service men, and hence could rein-
state their war risk insurance poli-
cies. The township of Raritan took
out the policies for the men under a
blanket policy.
Supply and Demand
Two cracker-box philosophers at
Bangs Corners were lamenting the
times.
“There’s laws bein’ busted every day
in the week,” moaned the first. “Some-
thin’s gotta be done about it.”
“Wat,” contorted the second. “I
reckon we’re makin’ new ones as fast
as the old ones is bein’ broke.”—The
American Legion Weekly.
Professional Pride
“Someone was telling me,” re-
marked Mrs. Jones to her new cook,
“that your husband Is a close follower
of the papers.”
“Indeed he is, mum,” replied the
cook. “Why, they say he’s the best
man the department’s got for keepin’
the parks picked up;”—The American
Legion Weekly.'

DR. W. B. CALDWELL
AT THE AGE OF 83
Constqjation!
How to Keep
Bowels Regular
\'A
To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monti-
cello, 111., a practieing physician for 47
years, it seemed cruel that so many
constipated men, women, children, and
particularly old folks, had to be kept
constantly “stirred up” and half sick
by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts,
calomel and nasty oils.
While he knew that constipation was
the cause of nearly all headaches, bil-
iousness indigestion and stomach mis-
ery, he did not believe that a sickening
“purge” or “physic” was necessary.
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which helps to
establish natural bowel “regularity”
even for those chronically constipated.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only
causes a gentle, easy bowel movement
but, best exf all, It never gripes, sick-
ens, or upsets the system. Besides, it
is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant
that even a cross, feverish, bilious^
sick child gladly takes it.
Buy a large 60-cent. bottle at any
store that sells medicine and just sea
for yourself.
