A stubborn backache is cause to sus-

Booklet Tells
The Women Of
Their Works

LONDON, March In connectaion
with Lloyd-George's campaign for the
"dilution' of labor in the munition
fa ctories with women workers, the
Ministry of Munitions has issued an
elaborate illustrated book dealing with
the employment and training of IN
skilled women for munition work. The
book contains hundreds of photographs
showing the operations, with descrip-
tive and explanatory notes
Mr.. Lloyd George writes in the pref
ace:
THE Photographic records and writ
ten descriptions of what is actually be-
ing done by women in munition fac
tories foc processes hitherto perform
ed solely by skilled men, will, be.
lieve, act as an incentive and a guide
in many factories where employers
and employed have been skeptical as TO
the possibilities of dilution. Being
convinced that until that policy is
boldly adopted throughout the coun-
try we cannot provide our armies with
such adequate supply of munition as
will enable the INTO bring this war to
an early and successful conclusion,
very earnestly commend this book to
the most serious consideration of en-
pioyers and employed"

CONGESTION PORT
CAUSES TROUBLES

VLADIVOSTOK, March 1.-Conges-
ton of war supplies at Vladivostok
cnotinues to grow worse At present
there are twenty eight steamers in
Tie harbOr or waiting in the bay to
enter the harbor. Pier facilities are
lacking to accommodate these steamers.
The thermometer registers twenty de-
grees below zero, and the extreme tenn
perature and ice are adding to the
confusion. The cranes on the piers
are not heavy enough to lift locomo-
tiyes and other heavy weights, and
consequently lighters must be utilized
for this purpose AS there are only
sufficient lighters to unload four
steamers the handling of locomotives
is greatly delayed.
Four hundred and fifty American To-
Cvomotives were sold to Russia for use
in speeding up war supplies, and so
far less than fifty of these have been
unloaded at Vladivostok. American
manufacturers are also sending twenty
thousand steel care to Vladivostok.
Heavy floating cranes were brought
from Japan to handle the war supplies
but it is almost impossible to move
these in the ice, and they are of an old
type not well adapted to the present
work.
Becaues of delay demurrage charges
are piling up against the freight. The
shores of the harbor are blocked with
cargoe, and it seems impossible to get
cars to move this out. The government
says it has three thousand cars at Lake
Eaikail, but these are not coming with
any regularity to Vladivostok and the
situation seems to grow more confus-
Ing every day.
Barbed wire, cotton and rails make
up a great part of the cargo which is
now reaching here. Various depart
ments which are handling the cargo,
insist on different sorts of supplies be-
ing taken to different piers. The result
is that some ships unload less than 100
tons day and in many cases the de-
murrage charges against one ship
reach $1,000 a day.

2. G. HOOKS SPENT $4,000 TRYING
TO RESTORE HIS WIFE'S
HEALTH

Another wonderful Endorsement for
Tanlac that will be read with interest
By thousands of frail, suffering women
throughout the south was given recent
Il, by Mrs. Elizabeth Hooks, of Rome,
Ga. Mrs. Hooks is the wife of P. C.
Hooks, a well known Southern Rail-
way engineer. Mrs. Hooks made the
remarkable statement that she had re-
,ceived more benefit from four bottles
Of Tanlac than from medical treat
,ment that had cost her husband ST.
900, of which he had paid out in the
past two years in an effort to restore
her health.
For about two years" said Mrs.
Hooks. Il have been in very bad
health and have suffered from stomach
trouble, extreme nervousness and a
tad form of rheumatism. For more
than seven months was confined to
my bed and was almost a nervous and
physical wreck. My digestion was so
poor had to diet myself and rarely
milk and things of that kind and even
the lightest of foods would nauseate
me ond lay heavily on my stomach.
Any sudden noise would affect my
nerves and my husband had to quit
setting the alarm clock and the door
to my room had to be kept closed so
l could not hear the ringing of the
telephone. have had the rheumatism
in my left hip and shoulders so bad
| could hardly bear anything to touch
NE.
MY condition became so bad, my
husband took me to Hot Springs, Ark,
where l remained for a month. l had
to use crutches all the time. The
treatment there helped me for a while
and l returned home. l soon relapsed
into my old condition, and then was
taken to specialist in Atlanta.
Il had fallen off from one hundred
and twenty pounds until only weigh
ed eighty-rine pounds-just shadow
of my former self.
THE specialist prescribed course
of treatment, but before using the
medicine decided to give Tanlac
trial. 1 did this because of what I
had read of Mr.. Cooper's new medicine
and because my husband had heard
so many railroad men recommend it.
THAT was the best resolution of my
life. l am now on my fourth bottle
and feel better than at any time since
] became i'll. 1 can now eat anything
want, and my food agrees with me
besides, everything l eat tastes good
and enjoy my meals.
Il have set my crutches aside and
actually feel so much better 1 told
my husband few days ago believed
I would turn off the cook, but he in
sisted that l wait a while.
Il now weigh one hundred and five
pounds, which is gain of sixteen
pounds, and am improving right along
every day. Before taking Tanlac l
as so weak and frail 1 was greatly
discouraged and could not persuade

WESTERN CANADA
COOPERATIVE CreamerieS Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows q great In
crease in the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs, He also said the inn
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter n outside markets. Shipments
out OF the province for the year to-
tailed 50 carloads.
According to bulletin Just issued by
the Manitoba department of ugricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1913. There was an
increase of over 100000 lbs. Of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $427 900. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs.
and 1t brought an average price Of DC
per ID; of creamery butter $3.50, G67
lbs. were produced which commanded
pc per Id. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value Of these three products is given
as $2.760,698, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at S925,659
and the cream at SIS, S27, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per 10. and of sweet cream at 32c
per ID. butter-fat In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 100, 1872
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,S15 TONS of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631 005, which is an IN
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing Improvement in
the dairy industry. ON Feb. Il, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1918
paid its patrons a rate of 271bc per
ID. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61, III and manu-
featured 256O00 lbs. butter and 1900
lbs cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta Is wen indi-
Gated by the growth of a prominent
dairy business here, which In 1915 pro-
duced 2.525,000 lbs. butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous ye@'.
This product has found a market In all
parts of Canada and this year will en-
