The funeral of Andrew Carnegie was held at Shadow Brook, his summer home in the Berkshire today. There was no eulogy and there were no pallbearers. The service was as simple as were the tastes and habits of the man in life. Fully one half of the 60 persona present were members of the house hold. The others were intimate friends of the family. The ritual of the Presbyterian church was used by the otficating clergyman. Dr. William Pierson Merrill of the Brick Presbyterian church. Fifth ave nue.

At the conclusion of the service, which occupied barely 20 minutes, the body accompanied by most of the party, was removed in a motor car to Hills dale, N. Y., where a funeral coach was in waiting. This car was attached to the regular train of the New York Central railroad, leaving at 1:11 o'clock today for Tarrytown.

The body reposed in a severely plain casket in the center of the room and all but hidden in a wealtji of floral pieces. The mahogany of "the casket was covered with heavy black broad cloth.

James Carnegie, who says he is a nephew of Andrew Carnegie, will not be among the mourners at the funeral of the celebrated steel magnate. The aged musician, who for years earned a live lihood by playing in dance halls in the west and Alaska in the early days, re ceived the news of his uncle's death with little interest. "When I -tame to this country," he said, "Andy gave me a job in the steel mills, but in the great strike at Home stead I preferred to stay with the men and as a result lost my position." He lives almost a hermit life in a little cabin on the ele of town.

GAINS 25 POUNDS Joseph Neighbors Says He Never Enjoyed Better Health Than Now. "I have gained twenty-five pounds since I commenced taking Tan lac, and never had better health in my life than 1 have now." said Joseph L. Neighbors, a well-known car carpenter, who is employed by . the Northern Pacific Railway company and who lives at 4602 East Frederick avenue, Spokane, the other day. "After recovering from an attack of 'flu' last winter," he continued. my entire system was badly run down, and it seemed that I would never find any medicine or treatment that would build me up again. I just felt tired and achy all the time, and when I went to walk around I would get so dizzy that I had to have something to "hold on to to keep from falling. My appetite was very poor and what little I ate would sour on my stomach and cajise me to suffer afterwards. What sleep I managed to get didn't seem to rest me at all. and I felt tired and worn out every morning. I was badly constipated all the time and just seemed to lose every particle of my energy and strength. My stomach finally got in such condition that I hardly ever retained what 1 ate. The medicines I took didn't do me any good at all and I kept on going down hill all the time. "One dav a friend of mine told me about Tanlac and advised me to give a trial. I followed his advice and the result is 1 am a sound, well man again. My appetite is fine and every thing in the way of food looks good to me, and the best part of it is I can eat just anything I want without suffering afterwards. I have regained 4ill my lost weight and energy and am so well and strong that 1 can do as much hard work in a day as I ever did. I never get dizzy now and I am free from constipation. In fact, my troubles have been completely over come, and 1 feel fine all the ime. Any medicine that will Mo that much for a man is worth recommending to every body, and I never lose an opportunity to tell others what great things Tanlac has done for me." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug company. Adv. Just to Remind You That Our Between Season Sale MADE to ORDER BRITISH mm GREY PRESS INDORSES SELECTION" OF U. S. MINISTER.

("Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by arrangement.! LONDON, Aug. 14. (Special Cable.) Regarding the announcement of Lord Grey's appointment as British ambassa dor to the United States, the Daily News says editorially "It will be re ceived with mingled feelings. No statesman in this country commands more respect and regard than the for mer foreign secretary, and it would be hard to find anyone whose personal tiualities commend him more to Ameri can esteem. "Whether Lord Grey's present health is equal to the strain the work in Washington will lay upon it, he and his doctors must judge. It would be a mat ter for the most profound regret if. in a selfsacrificing desire to serve the state, he had committed himself to a task beyond his strength. "Be that as it may. it argues no lacic of appreciation of Lord Grey s high qualities to say that even his public- spirited consent to serve noes not reconcile us to another stop-gap appointment. "The question of the league or na tions, with which Lord Grey has kept rigorously in touch, is one of the most immediate and one of the most urgent questions arising out of the peace, and In relation to that, tireat tsriiain couia have no better representative in Wash ington than Lord Grey. "1 f, indeed, there were grounds for reading in the fact of his appointment an appreciation on the part of the British government of the paramount importance of the league to the world, that might be held to counterbalance all objections that might be advocated. "The league of nations needs not so much. commending as explaining to the Anerican people. If Lord Grey is able to take any active part in that work he will be rendering a notable service to mankind." The Daily Telegraph says that In Lord Grey President Wilson will have a coadjutor of unique experience and weight in counsel. going into active duty, from which she was barred by her age. For a number of years she was a successful writ er of insurance for the New York Life company, having been the first woman in this company's serv ice to attain the distinction of member ship in the $100,000 club in the north-' west.
