OLD FOLKS FIND
A CHEERY FRIEND
A iloon to 'I1ion Who Have Started
Down the Hill of
Life
So many of us have been seeking
some really efficient remedy to glye
to our old folks who are treading in
the long shadows of life. That rem
edy must contain the proper tonic
qualities to revitalize, sluggish organs
and the blood.
That something has been found. It
is Ta nlac.
It Is cowardly to let debility sap
away the life and comforts when it
can be stayed. A condition of debil
ity never wears itself out. Instead,
it gradually grows more pronounced
unless proper measures to check it
are taken. It gathers force and
nourishes itself upon the tissues of
the body. To build up those tissues
is to fight debility.
Characteristic conditions of debil
ity both In old and young are ner
vousness, headaches, backaches, de
pression of spirits, loss of appetite,
sleeplessness and a general good-for-nthing
feeling that comes from tack
of energy.
Tanlac is designed to combat these
conditions in many ways. It is a
splendid tonic and tissue builder with
just tho rl-j'i: amount of praiei li. It
quiets r.ervea and brings back restful
sleep, which is Nature's first aid to
the debilitated. It corrects Btomacn
troubles and- there, in nine casM
out of ten, you have the seat of a
nervous, debilitating ailment.
With the body recharged with vig
or, that detested, despondent feeling
passes away so quickly you are as
tonished and mighty regretful that
you didn't start oiit to fight it long
before.
Tanlac may now be obtained in Al
liance at the Harry Thlele drug store
where its great popularity la being
better shown every day.

NO SAWDUST WITH RIIIG
IVokm Agent of Hells-Kioto Shows
Says Tradition of Small
Hoys Is Mistake
That sound of a dull and sickening
thud meant neither a murder nor an
uutomobile tire blowout. Much more
disastrous. In fact, for It was the
bursting sound of an exploding tradi
tion a tradition which has existed
shire Ilec was in his swaddling
clothes and Noah played Ararat with
the world's first collection of trained
but untamed animals.
Ever since kid hood days you've
heard of the "sawdust ring." Cir
cuses meant sawdust. The circuB life
was the life of sawdust. And yet
There ascends to the witness stand
the poor but honest preRs agent of the
SellB-FIoto Buffalo Bill Wild West
circus, champion shows of the world,
which Is to play a one day's engage
ment in the city August 6. And the
aforementioned press agent, telling
things while the teacher's back Is
turned, thus tears to pieces the old
tradition of the sawdust:
"To tell the truth," he says, "there
Isn't any such thing in the circus
world as sawdust. Persons speak of
the sawdust ring. There Isn't any.
More than that, sawdust Isn't known
bout the circus. The space In the
Inclosures of the rings are filled with
wood shavings and chips. And when
there is rain, sawdust Is not used to
place on the nind, but straw. There
I Isn't a sneck of sawdust to be found
around the whole circus. It is true
that in the very, very old days of the
circus, before the present modes of
automatic planing, with its attendant
wood chips and Bhavings, came into
use, that sawdust was employed to a
certain extent. But that was so long
ago that It ia ancient history."
Thus another tradition goes Into
the discard. Titus but there comes
another interruption from the press
agentr
"Beg pardon, but If I can Just butt
In for a word or two more? That
little information about the sawdust
warn'l exactly In my line. What I
really came here to say was that the
Sells-Floto Circus will be here for
one day with a great line of attrac
tions, ranging from Jess Willard,
champion heavyweight pugilist of the
world, all the way thru the list of
champions to Rosa Rosalind, the
champion horse-to:horse somersault
equestrienne. And more than that.
there's to be an ensemble of a hun
dred good-looking girls. A parade?

SPRING FOR TIME
Publicity Department of I tail road
TranAKr(atlon Brotherhoods
Hays Wafting Time
Cleveland, Ohio, July 26 The fol
lowing statement was issued today by
the Transportation Brotherhoods.
The proposition of the railroads to
refer the demands of the railway
brotherhoods for an eight-hour day
to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Is nothing but a proposition to
gain time for the railroads and to
waste time for the men.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Is not now equipped to under
take this task. In order to under
take It the Interstate Commerce Com
mission Act would have to be radical
ly amended by Congress. Such an
amendment would require at least a
month for passage, and upon its puss
age several months would be requir
ed before the Commission could ac
tually begin the work, thus Imposed
upon It.
Whatever may be the desirability
of empowering the Interstate Com
merce Commission to handle wage
dispdtes, this Is not the time to do it.
The Commission is overburdened
with duties. A bill has been pend
ing before Congress, urgently advo
cated by the railroads themselves,
railing for an Increase In the mem
bership of the Commission in order
to enable It to handle cases already
on Its docket.
A resolution is now pending in the
House, after having been passed by
the Senate, calling for an Investiga
tion by a Joint committee of Congress
into the need for railroad legislation,
particularly into the need for legisla
tion affecting the Interstate Com
merce Commission. This resolution
was Introduced at the request of the
railroads and for the express purpose
of heading off any railroad legisla
tion till a comprehensive survey of
the entire situation should have been
made. Representatives of the rail
roads have urged this resolution for
these reasons.
Yet now the railroads, forgetting
these arguments, and frightened at
the prospect of being forced to yield
to the brotherhoods, are demanding
hasty and Ill-considered legislation,
the first effect of which would be to
give them an advantage in their dis
pute with their employes.
The Commission only has author
ity over rates, etc., on Interstate traf
fic and has no control over matters
that are wholly within a state.
Ifauthorlt y is conferred on the In
terstate Commerce Commission by
Congress, to fix or exercise any con
trol over wages, it would only apply
to employes whose runs are from one
state to another.
Inasmuch as the bulk of trainmen
work wholly within a state, it would
result in the worst muddle possible.
A few employes having their wages
fixed by the U. S. and the rest of them
standing Just where they are now.
The claim made by the railroads
that as the Interstate Commerce com
mission has authority over freight
rates, it should also have authority
over rates of pay, is a clever and
seemingly plausible argument, put
forward to secure public sympathy.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion has always taken cognizance of
wages or labor costs in passing upon
freight rates. One of the leading ar
guments of the railroads in making
application for authority to advance
their freight rates has been that out
lays for employes have Increased and
as a consequence 'that they should be
permitted to charge more for their
services.
Elaborate statistical exhibits have
in all general rate cases been present
ed by the railroads to the Commis
sion, which set forth in great detail
how many more dollars are paid out
In wages and salaries now. as com
pared with former years. As a-consequence,
the Interstate Commerce
Commission has always passed on the
question of the relation, of wages to
freight and passenger rates,, and to
total operating costs.
