THE BEST INSURANCE.

Congressman l^telph W. Moss makes .an interesting comparison between the records of Presidents Roosevelt Taft •and -Wilson as upbuilders of the American navy. He supplies the figures that

i

Prove that during the administrations of both Roosevelt and Taft the navy •vras developed at the rate of one and one-half battleships a year, or six in i four years. Wilson will build eight in )y-a year, as soon as ways are available tst.-ffor the keels, and this Js but one as•JjBect of the reorganization of national ,j "defense. «With an adequate navy, the Ameri- '. can people will feel sstfe. The naval '•'^lll-as it left, the house of representai thres provided for an adequate navy. -There were five battle-cruisers in, the •1)111. The senate has given the country a better bill, and President Wilson should be commended for throwing the "weight of the administration behind it.

Most people know that the senate has inserted appropriations for four dreadnought battleships and four battlecruisers, but here is the summary of all important provisions: A three years'building program—157 new ships eight of these are capital ships, four battle-cruisers and four dreadnoughts "fc and are to be built at once, and $3,300,000 for batteries for merchant auxil^larles increasing the enlisted strength 4ent£^$e navy to 97,000 men and the mattgainstf cbrps to. 17,400 men.

THE MELTING POT.

Of the population of the city of New York 21 per cent is classified by the United States census as "natives of native parentage." The portion bf the city's population classified as "foreign born" runs up to 40 per cent of the whole. Upon two days during which a careful record, was kept of arregts by police 48 per cent of the offenders were "natives of native parentage" and exactly the same percentage was made up of the foreign born.^ In other words in proportion with population the number of arrests of natives of native parentage was almost twice as great as the number of foreign bprn residents. Members of the National Immigration league consider this showing a good argument against those who advocate restriction of immigration, and so it is. Another argument against restriction of immigration by means of a literacy test is the fact that of the arrests of the two days covered, only two per cent were illiterate, 98 per cent being able to read and write.

However, there is little need to worry about immigration at present as news of the "Wilson boom" has reached Europe, with the result of checking the influx therefrom, and at the same time unemployed foreigners in -no inconsiderable number are returning to Europe to await better days here.

THAT EXTRA HOUR.

That a prophet is not* without honor save in his own country, is being exemplified to the residents of Cleveland, Ohio, this summer as they read, in many forms, accounts of the efforts being made by the peoples of European countries to utilize an extra hour of daylight on account of the exigencies of the European war.

Cleveland, "no mean city," as the government census records, has been rejoicing in the benefits arising from arbitrarily turning the hands of her clocks one hour ahead since the morning of May 1, 1914, and no one of her three-fourths of a million people would think, for* a moment, of turning them back again. This simple device, which Mr. Charles Fitzhugh Talman designates, in the June issue of the Review of Reviews as "bristling with difficulties," was made effective at midnight between two days and no one ever knew the difference. It was a bright May morning and everything was apparently going on as usual.

Since the adoption of Eastern time two thousand or more Cle.velanders have been daily playing baseball in the parks during the summer season, and one thousand others h^ve been playing tennis for that hour of daylight which they have Secured by earlier rising.

It may be said that Cleveland, being In the "central" zone of railway time, of course has its railway trains entering and leaving on their own arbitrarily determined time. The traveler may find some annoyance in adjusting his watch to Eastern standard time on his arrival in Cleveland. It is easy to remember the difference, however, and Clevelanders impose no greater Inconvenience upon their visitors than they impose upon themselves, for they must also bear the change of time in mind when they make their arrangements to travel. But the new scheme Is.working out splendidly.. The workman goes home to his family by daylight and reads his evening paper by the light of the sun. The economic saving in electric light or gas bills is marked.

RECALLS ANOTHER WAR.

For two years the south kept the initiative. She struck at Antietam, It Gettysburg, at ShilC|h. Three times, twice in the east and'onc^ In the west, she'sought a decision. She failed, and with Gettysburg and the concomitant fall of Vicksburg she lost the initiative forever. Henceforth it became a question not of conquering the north, but of holding it off until the people of the north wearied of the sterile sacrifices and the terrible cost.

It took nearly two years after Gettysburg to bring Appomattox. Grant's great ogensive, of which the north expected so much, led only to the drawn battles of the Wilderness and Spottsylvanla and the shambles of Cold Harbor in 1864. Yet in this terrible campaign, counted as a failure at the moment, Grant won the war. The south had neither the men nor the resources to replace the losses. While the lines before Richmond still held, the confederacy crumbled to dust.

Now this, says a writer In the Review of Reviews, is in sum what the allies eptpect to happen hi the case of Germany. They expect that the Germans and the Austrlans will no longer be able to replace casualties as the British, the Russians, and the Italians patently can. Russia's man supply is inexhaustible she has already proved ^his Rritnin is only beginning to draw linn-, il- v-~ y l^«1 v bns mprlp

MOST PROMINENT PERSONS GLAD TO GIVE TESTIMONY

Prompted by Humanitarian Spirit, Men and Women Recommend Tanlac.

Men and women who have improper digestion, who are nervous and very irritable, because of suffering, lack energy and ambition for their work, are easily discouraged and became melancholy over slight matters, suffer with backaches, poor memory, unsound sleep that does not really rest them, irregular circulation of the blood, dizziness and the common ailments of the stomach, liver and kidneys, many of which are caused by catarrhal affections of the mucus membranes, which long unchecked, finally have weakened the vital organs, will find Tanlac a tonic, tissue builder and appetizer designed to overcome these troubles.

While It is true that the success of Tanlac' In some cities has been so great as to amaze certain business men, It really, also, is true that Tanlac is no more popular in one city than another wherever It has been introduced.

Everywhere, the most prominent people will give testimony in praise of Tanlac out of gratitude for the relief that Tanlac brings, and because they believe it is their duty to do so.

It is the humanitarian spirit to help the "other fellow" if you can, that is the first thought of many men and women who voluntarily tell what Tanlac has done for them.

Hundreds of thousands have found Tanlac an ideal tonic, tissue builder and strength builder. It reaches those ijls of the stomach, kidneys, liver and the common maladies of the day —the strength sapping, lethargy creating ailments that "get your nerve" whether you be merchant or artisan, employer or employe, man or woman.

Tanlac is being introduced in Terre Haute at the Buntin Drug Co. Tanlac may be obtained in the following nearby oities: Seelyville, Mont E. Taber Brazil, Mendenhall & Artman Carbon, J. H. Throdp Cory, E. A. Stagg Farmersburg, Parish & Son Lewis, Matt Harrold Clinton, White's Pharmacy St. Bernice, J. P. Hartsook Montezuma, Burdock Drug Co. Dana, Dr. D. A. Smith Shelburn, Stark's Pharmacy Hymera, Cummings Drug Store Jasonvilie, Walter's Pharmacy Gilmour, C. C. Setty Sullivan, Smoot & Son Dugger, Charles Mason Linton, W. J. Hamilton Bloomfleld, F. L.

draft to speak of. But France, like Germany and Austria, is approaching, if she has not reached, that point where she can no longer send fresh mo* to the front to replace losses and each casualty therefore diminishes the total of the men in the line.

The allies believe that the Germans and Austrlans are holding lines far too extended for their numbers. Lee did this at Richmond and lost his army. Napoleon jjlid this in eastern Germany in his last German campaign and suffered defeat, which turned out to be fatal. The allies believe that by steady and concerted attacks upon all fronts they will presently wear the Germans and Austrlans down to the point ^rhere they must shorten their lines or court disaster. But to shorten the lines Is to confess defeat. To evacuate France or Poland is to lose the war absolutely, because these are the prizes Germany holds against her lost colonies and ocean commerce.

A New Jersey chemist says he has invented an explosive so powerful that one thousandth of a gram will blow a hole through the roof. Let him tell that to the sharks and the skeeters.

Now it's September when the ever hopeful congressmen hope to hear the last drop of the gavels. Anyway, the session cannot last past the first Mon-day-In December. So cheer up.

Bill Sulzer is to run for president as the nominee of the ^merican party. What is the American party? Why, the party that Bill is to run for president as the nominee of.

T$e judge is' getting better In his line of argument, but he left so much room for improvement.

Saturday, September 2,1916.

Astrologers read this as a doubtful day. "Uranus, Neptune and Jupiter are all in evil place, while Venus and Mercury are friendly.

This rule is likely to encourage all sorts of wild theorie^, whether in religious or economic theories. Agitators of every sort are likely to multiply during the next few months.

Uranus gives warning of a season that is unusual in its quick changes of temperature. The winter may be a period extraordinarily threatening to the health.

The stars, which long have given warning of dangers from uncleanliness, now appear to indicate an epidemic of disease produced by lack of sanitary precautions.

When both Neptune and Uranus are adverse care should be taken to postpone important decisions. The judgment is believed to be-impaired and the mind is supposed to be less wisely balanced than at other times.

During this rule reticence is recommended. It is an especially bad time to confide strangers.

Uranus Is inimical to friendships between men and women today. Strange and illogical attractions are believed to be encouraged by this rule of the planet.

Publishers and advertising men should benefit today. They h&ve the forecast of activity in more than one direction, which will benefit newspapers and magazines.
