1852, at Harrisburg. When but 11 years old he entered the service of the Pennsylvania rail road at Altoona. under Foreman Samuel Gathers, heating water toJ clean passenger cars. He loft the company on September 20. 1865, and in April, 1866, became helper in the blacksmith shop at Altoona.

in January, 1867, Mr. Cavender moved to Huntingdon and entered the blacksmith shop, where he was em ployed until June, 1868. "On August lo, 1870, he returned to the Pennsylvania railroad as car repairman, and on May 15, 1873, was transferred to fireman on a shift' ing engihe in the Huntingdon yard under Robert Steel, then trainmas now retired. "He served in this capacity until August 1875, whn he was transferred to the Huntingdon shops as car repairman under Foreman Hftrry Noll. Mr.

Cavender was made night watchman on April 1, 1908, and on September 1, 1909, he became car Inspector in the Huntingdon yards, which position he held until December 22, 1916, when he was relieved from active duty, at his own request, oft account of injuries. "Mr. Cavender, who resides at 4132 Mifflin street, Huntingdon, was never suspended for neglect or lack of duty during his long term of service in yards and shops." I Feel like Myself Again" Says Berger "Two years ago I was operated kpon for gall stones, and since that fune nave suffered all tho torments of stomach trouble and indigestion," said S. Berger, of 1508 South' Sixth street. Philadelphia, a well known real estate man who has lived in that city for the past thirty yearn "I was vetting rather discouraged, too, before I found Tanlac, which simply chased away my troubles.

No matter how careful I was in my eating, everything fermented as soon as it reachd my stomach, causing belching of gas, pains and foul breath. I had a severe pain across my eyes and head most of the time. I was nervous and restlese at night, auid would get up feeling all In and with a terrible breath. "Since taking Teniae I eat heartily, my food digest the way it should, causing absolutely no 1U effects, and the headaches and bad breath nave disappeared. Tanlac has made me tear like myself again.

It deserves much praise." Tanlac the famous reconstructive tonic is now being introduced here at Gorgas Drug Store, where the Teniae man is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine. Tanlac is sold also at tho Gorgas dmgatoM In the P. R. R. Station; ta 'Carlisle, at W.

The railway bandied a larger business than It did the corresponding month of last year, but operating expenses more than wiped out the gain, and there was also such an increase in rent.

In terest and taxes that the surplus of $181,500 was $198,148 less than that of one year ago. The Reading com' pany, the holding company, made a profit of a gain of $5,086. but an Increase in interest and taxes of $35,383 turned this gain Into a decrease of $30,147 in the surplus. The Coal and Iron' Company, how ever, makes such a good return that the losses Incurred by the other two companies waa converted Into a gain for the month amounting to $343, In Mav of lat vear tha Read ingXtoal and Iron Company made a denrtt of over $25,000, due to labor troubles, while this year there is a surplus or $546,611.
