 HIMSELF FRENCHMAN

Paris, Oct 16-Sergeant Raoul Luf- bery, of New Haven, Conn.,, the first American to be mentioned in a com mumique for bringing down five hos \ tile aeroplanes, is known as the Amer ican who thought himself a French man. Lufbery's parents died when he was very young and he was brought up by
 family at Bourses. At the age of 13
 he ran away from home and wandered all over the world. turning his hand to
 all sorts of trades. At Saigon he met
 the aviator, Marc Pourpe, who trained
 him as his assistant.
 The first time that Lufbery discov- | cred that he was an American was
 when, at the outbreak of the war, he went to enlist with Pourpe. He was rejected on account of his nationality, but after many appeals was allowed | to go with Pourpe as his mechanic. Pourpe was killed soon afterward and Lufbery swore to avenge him.
 He importuned his superiors to allow him to train as pilot and his request
 was finally granted. Lufbery got his polit's certificate ,dast year and was transferred to the American flying corps when was formed. He brought down all of the five German machines required for mention in a communique
 since July 1st. The first three were destroyed within ten days.

TANLAC BETTER THAN THREE
 MONTHS OF MOUNTAIN AIR.

 Tanlac After Other Remedies Failed


Tanlac endorsed by such class people" said T. P. Gillispie. T have been in the drug business for a number of years but never have l seen any medi-' cine which has won such whole- hearted endorsements as Tanlac has. The merit of Tanlac is rapidly making the medicine a household remedy in the homes of rich and poor alike.
 "Since Tanlac was first introduced in New Haven about twelve weeks ago it has been selling at rate that has astonished me. The demand grows from day to day. People come to the store every day and tell wonderful stroies of relief given them by the medicine. I am sure that they never lose an opportunity to tell their friends and neighbors about the medi- cine and it is those statements from satisfied users of Tanlac which make it so popular. But back of it all is Tanlac's actual merit"

Mrs. Adelaide KavilIe, of fS1 Port sea street, New Haven, and widely known in social circles, has taken Tanlac, the National Tonic, and has been relieved both of malaria and 1n- digestion. So well pleased with Tanlac is she that she has been kind enough to endorse the medicine as follows:
 '1 have had malaria for many years but could find nothing in the way of medicines that would help me. Think ing a change of air would bring relief, 1 spent three months in the Green Mountains this past summer but to no avail. Upon my return I purchased a bottle of Tanlac and had taken it but two days when decided improvement in my condition was apparent. Tanlac has also been beneficial in the treat ment of acute indigestion from which I have suffered for several years. For these two common ailments. malaria and indigestion, I most heartily recom- mend Tanlac."

.FINNS ENJOYING
 BUSINESS BOOM
 AS WAR RESULT
Flood of Ready Money Are Symptoms of Nations
 Prosperity.

Helsingfors, Finland, Oct. 16-Fin- land, with the exception of few in-
 dustries that have suffered, has e1-
 perienced a boom as result or the
 war. There is most recent ind1-
 cation of this in plans that are now
 practically completed for steamship
 line designed to run from Finnish
 ports to North and South America.
 One of the most striking features of the present economic conditions in
 the country is the flood of ready
 money. The Bank of :. England has
 greatly increased its note circulation,
 and deposits in private banks have
 increased to enormous figures. This flood of money is due in great part
 to the Russian governments expendi- lures for the maintenance of troops, military necessities, and fertilization work. 7t The difficd1tiesN in the way of ex- porting and even the unfavorable com- munications with many parts of fn- terior Russia also resulted in much money staying in the country which would otherwise have gone abroad Good harvests in the autumn of 1915 also made it unnecessary to buy the usual quantity of grain outside Fin .And and contributed to increase the
 amount of capital looking for invest ment.
 The sawmil1 industry-one of the
 country's leading industries-has ,suf- fered rather severely. At the end o1 the year the number of employees in this branch had decreased some 6t per cent. The building trades are adso-as everywhere in belligeren' countries The pulp and paper business was not able to in crease it's sales above the figures o1 1913, but higher prices offset this. Iron and steel industries did de. cidedly satisfactory business. The
 number of employees increased anG
 workmen have received substantial in.
 creases of wages. The woolen indus. | try had a good year, and the leather factories have been working under pressure to, satisfy demands. They
 have thus far been able, to secure am- pie supplies of hides from Russia, anvi the number of workmen has increas ed by at least a quarter.

 This might properly be the title of campaign skit comparing tke utter ances by Theodore Roosevelt as Pres ident in 1908 with his utterances as pleader-in-chief for Candidate Hugh es in 1916.

 "I call your attention to the need o1 passing the bill limiting the number of hours of employment of railroad employees. The measure is a very moderate one, and can conceive o1 no serious objection to it. Indeed, SC far as it lies in our power, it should be our aim steadily to reduce the number of hours of labor, with as goal the general introduction of the eight-houl day."
