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.

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. Tanlac is sold in Plat tsnout h by F. G. Fricke &. Co.. in Alvo by Alvo Drug Co., in Avoca by O. E. Copes, in South Bend by E. Sturzenegger. in Greenwood by E. F.

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 .

Changes have come since Carl of fered his service-, to his country.
