DO YOUR PART ON THIS BAND.
From Saturday's Dally.
Say, you "who do not care to do

at home, and let the other people

DENIES WIRES
ARE TO BE GIVEN
BACK TO OWNERS
Postmaster General Says That Order
Issued Thursday Was Misconstru
ed; No Action Contemplated.
Washington, June 6. Postmaster
General Burleson Thursday sent to
Chairman Cummins a letter declar
ing that his order had been miscon
strued; that he had not turned back
the wires to private ownership and
that no such action was con
templated.
Mr. Burleton's letter follows:
"An order issued by me Wednes-
dav relatives to the operation of
the telegraph and telephone systems
has been construed by some as act
ual return of the properties to the
owners. No such action has been
taken by me nor is any contemplat
cd.
"This order simply dissolves the
operating board appointed by m
under date of December 1H. 191S
and directs that the systems again
be operated by the regular operat
ing officials under government sup
ervision. Responsibility of the gov
ernment to these systems in no
wise ceases. It being evident that
these properties are to be returned
in the verv near future. it was
necessary for the postmaster gener
al to take steps immediately to set
up the regular operating organiza
tion of the companies, so that when
the properties are turned back it
can be done without confusion or
interruption to the service which
was the purpose of the order.
Steps to Prepare Data.
' "This order In no wise affects the
legislation pending before your
committee or before congress. It
will enable the companies to begin
steps immediately to prepare the
data and collect their information
to be submitted to the state com
missions for the rate cases, which
will probably le taken up imme
diately after the period of govern
ment rcontrol ends."
Unanimous decision to press leg
islation for repeal of the wire con
trol resolution despite Postmaster
General Burleson's order was reach
ed bv the senate interstate com
merce committee. Chairman Cum
min1; announced that the bill would
be called up in the senate next
week.
After a further hearing. how-
. . . . j i
ever, tnc committee ameriucu
the bill so as to continue existinc
telephone toll rates in effect for 00
davs after the wires are turned back
instead of CO days as originally pro
posed. NO OBJECTIONS NOW.
There are very few people who
are objecting at this time to being
called hayseeds, as hay is selling at
from fortv to forty-five dollars per
ton. Some times there is a distinction
and then again a difference.

WORLD'S RECORD IS
BROKEN BY TANLAC
Bottles Sold In Four Years Would
Reach From New York to
Denver, Colorado.
Four years ago very few people
' had ever heard of Tanlac. Today it
' ... ... " ,
unquestionably nas me largest saie
of any medicine in the world, and
is as well known in Canada as in
iii i-mintrv In the brief neriod
i cess. Its fame in fact, has long
! iince spread beyond the limits of
:the continent, and numerous inquir
ies regarding it are now being re-
reived from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what a really wonderful rec
ord Tanlac has made. Indeed, if it
were not for the unquestionable
facts and figures given out by the
largest and best known drug firms
were sold and distributed in th-e
United States and Canada, the exast
fg:irc being l.r.0T.iSr, in three
months.
At this rate, therefore the sales
for the present year will amount to
more than five million bottles. This
will mean that 17.nno bottles of
Tanlac will be sold every clay of the
year or 2.100 bottles for every hour
of the average working day. -
These figures are too stupendous
for the average mind to grasp, hut
one may visualize what twelve mil
lion bottles mean by imagining
them laid out in a single file end to
end. Thus laid they would make
a track of Tanlac from New York
through Chicago, and on to Denver.
Colorado; or they would form a
double track of Tanlac from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
Piled end on end they would tower
1T.S times a? high as Pike's Peak, or
rise 1C.333 times higher than the
Wool worth Ruilding in New York,
the tallest building In the world.
The demand for Tanlac has be
come so great that its sale instead
of being measured by the gross as
other preparations have been, is
now reckoned by the carload, and
even by the trainload. In proof of
this it is a noteworthy fact that the
leading druggist jobbers everywhere
now buy Tanlac almost exclusively
in car load lots. To supply the Pa
cific coast trade alone requires from
forty to fifty car loads per year.
Jobbers of the middle west are sell
ing from seventy to eighty cars per
year.
The well known drug firm of
Hessig-Kllis Drug Company of Mem
phis. Tennessee, has sold over forty
car loads since the introduction of
Tanlac in that state four years ago.
Within the past ninety days, ten
car load.s of Tanlac have gone to
supply the demand of British Co
lumbia, 'Saskachewan, Alberta and
Manitoba. Canada.
The Owl Drug Company of San
Francisco, the largest retail drug
sists on the Pacific Coast, state that
they have sold more than 180,000
bottles at retail, which surpasses
the remarkable record of the Jacobs
Pharmacy Company of Atlanta, who
have sold approximately SO, 000
lfottles at retail.
Tanlac Is composed of the most
beneficial roofs and herbs known to
science. The formula complies with
all national and state pure food
and health laws of both the United
States and Canada; and absolute
merit and merit alone is responsible
for its phenomenal and unpreced
ented success.

CLERKS OF POST
OFFICE AGAINST
WOMEN IN JOBS
Say Female Employes Are Mentally
Well Qualified for Work. But -Lack
Physical Strength.
Prom Friday's Haily.
Omaha delegates to the postal
employes convention, which was
recently held at Lincoln, are anti
feminists. On their return from the conven
tion where they placed themselves
on record as being opposed to poli
tics in the postal service, they be
came interested in a statement that
had been made by Postmaster Fan
ning to the effect that there were
very few persons who were now
willing to work for Uncle Sam.
Postal employes are making the
assertion that this is due to the
employment of women on jobs in
the postal service for which- they
are physically unfit. They say the
women pass excellent civil service
examinations and that they are
mentally fit for the work but the
tasks imposed on them are beyond
their physical ability.
Ignore Seniority Rule.
They assert that the local post
office officials are utterly ignoring
the rule of seniority and that there
are veteran employes who are now
doing night work in order that
women new in the service can hold
the day jobs.
They also say that there are 45 or
more uncertified employes in the
office and that these employes are
absolutely without discipline or effi
ciency. "It is almost impossible for the
government to get men to go into
the service now," said one of the
delegates to the convention.
Wajres Too Low.
"The wages at which they have
to start are too low and as no in
creases can be made in salaries ex
cept by act of congress, the only
way the postomce department can
retain, the men of proven worth is
