U ? Sitting by the kitchen stove placidly Mirriuj; a pan of lamb stew, Joseph Lanoville. 54-y?ar old heir to a $75,000,000 legacy in France, sein ed to be lilt!*.- concerned with his new-r. t?i"d tortuno.

Told Gt the French legend of an enormous kgicy awaiting the heirs of Count Anthony Lanoville of French lie volution days. Joseph Lunotiile began an Investigation. It culminated a few day* ago when a Vr?nrh attorney appeared at Lanoville's humble but comforta Me home in this village in Jersey, 36 minuted by trolley off the beaten path o/ the world's mad rush. The French barister assured Lan oville that his claim to the fortune is wel! founded. For five generations ? 174 years ? the . $10. 000. 000 estate bequeath ed by Count 'Lanoville to his only son h:i3 been doubling and trebling | in val.:; as the Interest was coift-' pounded and th2 search for the] heir WC : t OB. Count Lanoville's son was kidnap ed. brought to America and later! married nn Indian girl. Now after! five generations, Joseph Lanoville is; believed to be the eldest living heir. ' To him goes the fortune. He leaves for Franco to collect the j legacy as soon as the weather breaks. "I'm In no hurry," he said, "ii got along without it before I knew about It. and I'll live in comfort if I never get It." Lanoville has had several offers from Wall Street syndicates to buy! put his birthright for immediate cash, he declared. But he has ? and will ? refuse all such advances, j Lanoville has been known by the; Christian name of Denis, said to be' the name of the sea-going man who' kidnapped Count Lanoville's son, in public life? --but his personal papers,; bank books and the like, have al ways been made out in the name of -LarrrrHl 1 e^h liib lte(L __ j He is one of a family "oT- stxtr>en-f children and the father of a family of 14 children, only three of which are living.

C, UOYLK. Copyright. 1924, by Tha Atfvanca New York, Fou. 9. ? Railroad in-1 vestors of whom then4 are hundreds of thousands in the United States, and Koine of whom have been suffer ins; from periodic rumors that some- j tiling unexpected was going to be done by governmental agencies to their Investments, have had their j minds relieved. Deputy Commission er of Internal Revenue Maddox, in a statement to the writer, declared he knew of no pending decision which would affect the carriers in 'connec tion with depreciation of the new equipment which the roads are buy ins and must buy so freely this year. Most of this new equipment has been purchased with money raised by the sale of equipment trust cer tificates. Thcfce certificates, in most cases, have a life of ten years, one tenth of their face value being re tired by sinking fund process each year. Under the nature of this fin ancing, title to the cars and locomo tives purchased is vested In the trus tee until such time as the debt Is completely cancelled, although the roads had possession of the equip ment and used it. The question was raised as to whether the carriers would be al lowed to charge off, in presenting statements for tax purposes, the de preciation on such equipment, In view of the fact that title to the cars did not pass to the companies until they wore completely paid for. This question Involved the sum of hun dreds of millions of dollars. Commissioner Maddox says, how ever, that there Is a precedent In ouch matters in the ruling? on prop erty held under mortgage. It Is his personal belief that If the question ever was seriously raised, deductions on equipment would be allowed, ex actly In the case of other mortgaged property. Other statlr.tlclans printed out that for the "long haul" Investor, It , made comparatively little difference whether the railroads were allowed to charge off the depreciation In equipment over a term of yearn or in a lump. j Certainly tlie question of those taxi payments has not sufficed to check purchases of cars and locomotive*-. In the last year over 17ii,000 new I freight cars have gone Into service. it Is obvious, however, that the country still is under supplied with ' freight cars. The equipment shops i now are working on orders for' 30, 000 cars and it is probable that at < least 100,000 will be bought this! year. Cars as loaded nowadays are I carrying about 11 per cent more freight than they ever did before, 1 and are being moved faster and over I longer distances. In fact, the mil eage made by each car is estimated to average 20 per cent higher now] than a year ago. The number of bad order cars is being reduced so that It represents only a slight notch above five per cent of the number In use. The cars now being ordered are of the special, rather than the general, box and flat car typo. Refrigerator, coal, mall, I express and tank cars are being i bought more extensively than the J cars designed to handle mixed car | goes. The New tori? central has recent ly placed an order for 70 locomotives and In the last month 131 engines have been purchased, while In th? same period the surplus freight curs in repair and available for service in the country decreased by over 55, !

TWO SIDES OF TURNOVER > The nlert business man dealing with present day conditions knows that the big word today is "Turn over." Whether he be a merchant, manufacturer, jobber, or banker, he sees that one thing with a clear vision unbiased by the limits of his own busi ness. It is in the air, and on the tip of every tongue. Anc'. yet rrniiy of them ? entirely too many ? are thinking on only one si<io of Turnover. They think of it as meaning rapid selling ? putting money in and getting it out quickly and at a profit. They realize that they must put greatly increased eflforti back of nil their plans for selling and distribution. The other half of Turnover is the consumer. All selling plans and efforts fail if the consumer doesn't, want to buy. llis desire for the product must lie creatcd. lie must meet the seller half way. lie must be in a mood to buy before the salesman meets him across the counter. That is the function of Advertising ? to create consumer demand and consumer preference. With this demand as n fact all selling plans have a chance to succeed. Without it they fail. The only chance for salesmanship to succred without an existing de mand is for salesmanship to assume the task that belongs to advertising ? the task of creating de mand. If the present efforts that are being put into sell ing were amply supported by a corresponding effort to create consumer demand through Advertising, the business conditions of this country would be rapidly changed into an era of great prosperity ? in spite of Old World conditions and everything else. The proof of this is in the fact that right now, under these very conditions, the manufacturers who are putting proper emphasis on creating a de mand for their product, as well as selling it, are do ing a big business and are actually getting the high turnover that others are trying so strenuously to get through intensive selling. FELT "Al IN HIS Wilkea-Barre Man Takes Paw Paw and Find* Way Back to Health "For many years I suffered Iroiu what may bo described as an 'all gone feeling' in the pit of the Mom ach," says Charles Taylor. 1 1? 1 State St..

No*hlim seem* U to help me, even though I had mat\v prescrip tions compounded as given to in** by physicians of hluh i.i? <lic.il st;.ndinu. "One day while in the drugstore, I taikrd with the gentleman who is exhibiting Taw raw Tonic and giv ing health talks on diseases com uion to every oue. I became inter ested and explained my case to him. "He suggested that I purchase a bottle of Paw Paw tonic and take it according to directions. I gladly bought the Paw Paw becatise 1 v.as willing to try anything for relief. I faithfully took it for little over a week and now report that my appe tite is now first clars. "I haVe no trouble with my stomach or bowels. I feel, in fact, stronger in every way than in years. My vitality and general mental power have greatly increased, and I thank the Paw Paw Man for showing me a way to health." This might as well be your ex perience as that of Charles Taylor. Why don't you try Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic. It costs only $1 a bottle and you can get it at any first class drug store. It is wonderful for indigestion, stomach troubles, lost energy, sleepliness, heartburn, depressed feeling after eating, bil iuosness, nervousness and general run down condition . Buy a bottle TODAY!

Are men .to continue to consider their own kin sac red and yet bring shame and disgrace into other families? Is the golden truth "Do unto others as you' would" have them do unto you" to be ignored? This is the question rais- ' cd and the answer is brought home forcibly to one narrow minded father, in realistic style, in the gripping picture that Ben Wilson has just made for Grand-Asher release.
