lions such as the Elks, the Ancient Order Hibernians, the Knights of Columbus and the Knights of Pythias.

George Mahare was the daddy of the aspiring band of Terre Haute amateur lactors and singers, which has given to the professional stage so many stars. For nearly forty years hardly «. season has gone by that has not i seen George Mahare aiding In some -Jfftfttiner some local show, given for

Come benevolent purpose. Whejl not ...|n the cast of a production he could -..•Always be located back stage, a.sffist|ng in the work of making up the .amateurs and, very often, directing the .{performance.

MAKES NOVEL APPEAL

$uys $750,000 Victory Bonds and Donates Same to Government— Urges Others to Follow.

LONDON-, July 16.—A wealthy man of London, who signs himself simply as "P. S. T." has written to one of the newspapers declaring his intention to subscribe to the victory loan in the sum of $750,000 and then turn the bonds back to the government for immediate cancellation. "Today on the eve of peace," writes "F. S. T.," "we are faced with another crisis, less obvious but none the less searching. The whole country is exhausted. By a natural reaction not unlike that which led to the excesses of the restoration after the reign of the Puritans, all classes are in danger of being submerged by a. wave of extravagance and materialism. "The wealthy classes know the danger of the present debt. Let them impose upon themselves, each as he is able, a voluntary levy. It should be possible to pass the exchequer within twelve months such a sum as would save the tax payer fifty million pounds a year. I give one-fifth of my estate aa thank offering in the firm conviction that never again shall we have such a chance of giving our country that form of help which Is so vital at the present moment."

Publication of this novel form of subscription to the loan instantly aroused the public amd all sorts of opinions were expressed. The more thoughtful newspapers gave it their unqualified endorsement and urged others to follow in the footsteps of the "patriotic" F. S. T. Many war profiteers, it was pointed out, could make such a sacrifice without knowing they had diminished their huge fortunes, while other persons of wealth were urged to follow his example as "thanksgiving offering" because the empire had finally been preserved. But it does not seem popular with the profiteers, since none has taken the hint.

The loan campaign Is in full swing Trafalgar Square is daily filled with cheering crowds, singing opera stars acd military bands, while the golden star on the ladder stretching to the top of the Nelson monument to mark the progress of the loan climbs higher and higher.

HAD TO BE HELPED UP STEPS, HE SAYS

"Before I started taking Ta-nlac I was so badly crippled up with rheumatism in my lega and feet that I couldn't get up our porch steps unless some of my folks helped me, but nobody has to help jne now," said H. C. Calkins, a retired farmer, living at 155 N. Lincoln Ave., Springfield, 111., to a Tanlac representative, recently. "I had been in a bad fix for going on twenty-six years," continued Mr. Calkins, of course, not so bad all the time as I have been for the past ten years, but enough to make me suffer a lot. My arms pained me like old fashioned toothache and my legs were all drawn up so I Just had to hobble around on two crutches. My legs pained me terribly all the time, but- seemed to be worse at night and I could hardly get any sleep for the agony I suffered. Then about twelve years ago, stomach trouble set in and nearly everything I ate disagreed with me, and I suffered a lot with cramps and finally got so I lived mostly on light diets, but that didn't seem to help any, and I got awfully weak and run-down. This rheumatism and stomach trouble caused me to give up farming, because 1 wasn't able to do any work myself and couldn't depend much on hired help. I had tried all kinds of medicines and treatments without being helped any and got so I never expected to be well again.

Then I read about Tanlac and saw astatement by a man I know so I decided to give Tanlac a trial, and I'll never forget how that medicine started right in to help me—it was simply i wonderful, and I could hardly believe it myself. 1 hadn't finished the first i bottle until I was feeling lots better, so I kept on taking the medicine and i now my rheumatism is not only completely gone, but all my stomach trouble as well, and I can sit down to the table now and eat as big a meal as I ever did on the farm. I don't hobble around any more because I have put my crutches away in the attic and never expect to see them again, and I can get about now as well as I could thirty years ago. Why, I actually believe I could stand and Jump on our porch steps—the same steps that I couldn't even get up alone on crutches a little while back, and I am Just so thankful to be free from my troubles that I can't say too much in praise of Tanlac."

Tanlac is sold in Terre Haute by the Buntin Drug Co.—Adv.

NEED HIGHER WAGES PUBLIC TO FOOT BILL

Expert Says New Basis of Fares Must Be Worked Out for Electric Lines.

WASHINGTON, July 16.—Declaring street railway employes clearly were entitled to the wage increases granted by the wax labor board, Guy E. Tripp, chairman of the Westinghouse Manufacturing company told the federal street railway commission here today that some basis of fares on a cost of service plan should be worked out between the public and the traction companies.

Municipal ownership was believed by Mr. Tripp to be among the possibilities of the present situation.

Questioned by members of the commission, Mr. Tripp said great fortunes had been made by street railway corporations in the past, but not through revenues from fares. A return was never paid on a five-cent fare, he paid, but "hopes were capitalized and hopes were sold."

He added that there was no question but that dishonesty in over-capi-talieation, stock manipulation, and the use of corporate influence in the past were in large measure responsible for difficulties now being experienced by the traction companies.

EMPLOYES ON STRIKE

Ten Thousand Quit At Chicago to Enforce Closed Shop, Long In Dispute.

CHICAGO, July 1«.—Between 8,000 and 10,000 employes of the Chicago plants of the International Harvester company are on strike today for a closed shop. The trouble began last Monday, when seven hundred workmen employed by the Weber wagon works, a subsidiary of the Harvester company, walked out. Yesterday 6,000 employes of the McCormick reaper works went on a strike. Today the strike spread to other plants, three of which are closed.

They are: McCormick reaper works, McCormick tractor plant, and the McCormick twine plant.

The striking employes of the Weber wagon works were reported to have returned to work today.

Officials of the company in a statement declared that the average hourly wages of the men has been Increased 114 per cent since June, 1914.

Secretary Edward Nockels, of the Chicago Federation of Labor, said the strikers had not yet formulated their demands. He said the men probably would ask for one dollar an hour, forty-four-hour week, and a closed shop.

CHICAGO RAIL MEN TAKE STRIKE VOTE

CHICAGO, July 16.—Representatives of the IB.000 surface and elevated railway employes today began preparations for taking a vot® on the question of a strike to enforce their demands for an increase of 37c an hour in wages and better working conditions.

Next Friday was set as the time for taking the vote, but a resolution adopted at a mass meeting' of the employes requires that the committee appointed to carry on negotiations must exhaust all reasonable means to obtain the employes' demands without a strike.

The companies in their Joint answer to the union, refusing the demands, stated that, to grant the increase in wages of 37c an hour, or from 48c to 85c an hour, would necessitate raisin* of fares to 9c or 10c.

Britton I. Budd, president of the elevated railroads, in a letter to the heada of the unions said, that granting of the demands of the employes without an increase in farerf would "bring insolvency to the companies."

CM CITY CAR MEN! GET KENT INCREASE:

PROHIBITION IS DEAD IF 2.75 BEER PREVAILS

WASHINGTON, July 16.—Authority of congress to fix one-half of one per cent as the maximum alcoholic content of beverages in prohibition enforcement legislation is clear, Wuvne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the AntiSaloon league, declared today before the senate judiciary sub-committee in answering recent statements of Samuel Untermyer, counsel for brewers. "I allow thi sale of 2S-4 per cent beer," said Mr. Wheeler, "would keep alive the liquor trade and defeat the purpose of national prohibition. Friends of prohibition do not want a code unless it defines intoxicating liquor."

Thirty-three prohibition states thirteen local option states, Mr^V| Wheeler said, have laws limiting ai- 1 cohol in beverages.
