toned the chocolate, even the Rus
sian soldiers having plenty of it.
The British soldiers in France are re-
ported as consuming "prodigious"
quantities of sweets. A captain at
the front with the British army re-
ports that the canteen. has "five
times the demand for sweets that was
expected and one-fifth the demand
for beer" The Australians en-
camped in Egypt have eaten all the
chocolate to be had in Cairo.
Chocolate is harmlessly stimulat-
ing. Soldiers have discovered what
scientists knew before, that sugar will
relieve fatigue quickly and give a
sense of strength that is real without
the subsequent depression exper-
fenced by those who use spirits. Sug-
ar and candies are found to be useful
not only to the physically tired, but to
those who suffer mental exhaustion.
Sugar, of course, is one of the most
easily digested carbohydrates. 1t re-
quires water, however, to aid in its
solution and digestion. The water
also assists in dissolving and remov-
ing the sugar from the mouth and
thus avoids its forming acid and dam
aging the teeth. The trouble that
arose from eating candy was that not
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1917-06-07

enough water was taken with the
candy to aid in its digestion. This
fault is easily remedied, however.
We have heard it said that child
rem should be given all the candy
they want. This is harmful advice,
for any person or animal can eat too
much of any kind of food and be
sickened by it. No man who knows
anything about horses would think
of letting his horse eat all the oats he
wanted, for horse could eat enough
of them to kill him. The same is
true Of other animals. Even inani-
mate things can get too much. For
instance, you can pour too much oil
in your automobile or get too rich a
gasoline mixture, either Of which will
SCOT up your spark plugs and stop
your engine.
Moderation is best in all things.
The uses of confectionery as here set
forth are worthy of extended notice
and we hope our readers will dissem-
mate the knowledge wherever it will
do good
This, Of course, does not condemn

TAXATION FOR WAR|
BURDEN MUST BE DISTRIBUTED
 JUSTLY AND EQUITABLY.
Corporations as We'll as Individuals Merit Consideration When the Question of Needed Revenue
 Is Finally to Be Settled.

The corporations of the country and their stockholders probably will pay the bulk of the taxes necessary for the conduct of successful war. Judge Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, recently told the stockholders of that concern that taxes this year would run between $60,OO0,- 900 and $65,OOO,OOO, which would be equivalent to more than SIP per share of common stock outstanding. It would also be approximately three times the tax paid by the corporation in 1916.
 As Judge Gary says, ''no loyal cfti- zen can object to these taxes if they are equitably distributed" The cor porations, however, should not be re- garded as insensate creatures, which can be milked indefinitely. These cor porations are merely associations of individuals. A stockholder usually is also a wage earner. Incidentally the mere fact that he has stock indicates that he has been diligent and provi- dent.
 Corporations and individuals every where are not only willing, but anX- ious, to pay their share of the neces- sary burden of war. No class, how ever, should be taxed unjustly or in- equitably.
 . The corporations that will pay the bulk of taxes have been requested, and are showing a disposition, to eliminate all war profits fn work done for the ;, f1o ,,;f ofo operation that should be encouraged. A feeling of good will should be estab- lished, and it can be if the right prin- ciples are written into the revenue raising bill.-New York Evening Post.

Trade to Be safeguarded.

The determination to keep "business as usuar' Is manifested in the an nouncement recently made that "there will be no attempt to induce Ameri- can industrial concerns to furnish SUD- plies to the allies at the low rates which this government is asking" In other words, the course of trade is to be interfered with as little as possible. And it is confidently expected that the recognition of the paramount necessity of doing nothing to disarrange busi- ness will make short shrift with cer- tain doctrinaire suggestions as to war taxation.

DEMAND FOR TANLAC
 BREAKS ALL RECORDS
DENvERF|RM BUYS
 A SOLID CARLOAD
THE WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTE ING AGENCY FOR DENVER.

CT HE wholesale distributing agency
 l for Tanlac in the Denver territory has been awarded to W. A. Hover & Co.," said B. c. Harris, representing the Southern and Western distributor of Tanlac, a few days ago. "This f1rm," continued MT. Harris, "gave their order for an entire carload of Tanlac several weeks ago and have just received same. This car com prises 1,O6O dozen, 12,72O bottles, and is without doubt, the largest order ever given by a Denver dealer for a new preparation, but having heard through absolutely reliable sources of the re- markable and rapidly growing demand for Tanlac in other cities, this firm did not hesitate to place an order for the above amount.
 "In only a few weeks time Tanlac will be placed on sale in practically every large city, town, village and ham, let in the states of Colorado, New Mex ico, Utah, Wyoming and throughout the entire West.
 "A number of agencies already have been established in q very limited time, but 1t is my desire that the dis tribution be made more complete and

evidenced by the startling sales rec ords shown in the following figures:
 Texas and Oklahoma dealers have sold in only five months time the as- tonishing total of approximately five hundred thousand bottles or an aver age of 100000 bottles per month, smashing all worlds records.
 Memphis jobber and retailers have sold since April 8, 1916, 251,316 bottles.
 Atlanta jobber and retailer have sold since October 16, 1915, 1S6,4S0 bottles.
 Birmingham jobber and retailers have sold since August IS, 1915, 15S,- 976 bottles.
 Nashville jobber and retailer have sold since August Il, 1915, 165, ,756 bottles.
 Macon jobber and retailer have sold since November IT, 1915, 107,736 bottles.
 Jacksonville jobber and retailer have sold since January %, 1916, 66,696 bottles.
 Montgomery jobber and retailer have sold since January 19, 1916, S0,784 bottles.
 'These enormous sales," said c. E. Willis, Southern and Western Dis tributor of Tanlac, "mean but one thing, and that is-merit. Tanlac is well advertised, 1t Is true, but such a large and rapidly growing demand could not be brought about by adver- Using alone. It's what the neighbors say that counts. One bottle is sold in neighborhood through advertising, but ten more are sold in that commu- nifty after the first bottle produces re- sults."

Patriotism Demanded of All.

The people of the nation assume the heavy burden of war calmly, sadly, but with determination. Their spirit is admirable in the highest degree Surely they are entitled to receive the benefit of the greatest possible effi- ciency and devotion on the part of those who execute the orders of the government. No self-seeking, no mon eymaking plots, no inferior service of any sort should be tolerated. Whoever is not all a patriot is an enemy to the great cause of making war to gain an early and just peace.

 As Americans we are proud of the subordination of partisanship to the nations need.
 As Americans we rejoice in the side stepping of provincialism and local tra- dition for what Is our manifest destiny.
 As Americans we are grateful for a leadership capable of uniting this country as it never was united before.
 As Americans we feel the impulse of coming future which shall fit and adorn the glorious past.
 We feel it in the disappearance of sectionalism, and in the fading in- f1uence of those tendencies which have done so much to prevent US from ex- erting unified strength.

Country WIII Not Be PIundered


 There will be none of the shameful practices in this war that scandalized the coupntry when, during the war with Spain, the United States govern ment was robbed right and left. Man ufacturers and others have manifested a wholly different spirit, and where the sense of fair dealing is found lacking the government will exercise the pow CT granted by congress to protect it by summary measures. No one will get rich quick in the nations emer- gency by trading on its necessities. The rule of reasonable prices will be inexorably enforced. The manufac- turer who hesitates or refuses to do his part will find the government pre- pared to regulate prices or to take over his plant and operate it.

OVER SEVEN MILLION BOTTLES SOLD AND DISTRIBUTED IN LESS THAN TWO
 YEARS TIME.
SUCCESS PHENOMENAL
Fame of the Medicine Spreads Over Whole Nation-Now Sold From
 Coast to Coast.

NEVER before, perhaps, in all his ' tory has the demand for a pro- prietary medicine ever approached the wonderful record that is now being made by Tanlac, the celebrated medi- cine which has been accomplishing such remarkable results in all parts of the country.
 From Coast to Coast and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanlac is known and honored. Millions have taken 1t and have pronounced 1t the greatest medicine ever given to the people, and the only explanation of Tanlac's triumph in the medical world Is Tanlac's true worth. Back of Tan lac's triumph in the drug stores is Tanlac's triumph in the homes. It is the peoples medicine and the people themselves have made Tanlac what lt'is.
 No matter where you go, Tanlac is D household word and 1t is unques- donably the most widely talked-of medicine in the world today. One per son invariably tells another about a medicine that helps him and in this way scores or even hundreds may hear of Tanlac as a direct result of one bottle in a single home.
 The first bottle of Tanlac to reach the public was sold just a little over two years ago in the thriving little city of Lexington, Ky, where 10000 bottles of the medicine were sold in only few months. Since that time there have been sold throughout the United States something over seven and a quarter million bottles, and romance which has no parallel in the modern business world has begun.
 The instant and phenomenal success which Tanlac won in Lexington has been duplicated in practically every large town, small town, village and hamlet in North America, Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and other American possessions have clamored far Tanlac.
 Just a few months ago, it was an nounced in the Atlanta papers that twenty-two carloads, 265,476 bottles of Tanlac had been sold through the At n Apta office alone. Since that time, T.-J6,44S bottles have been sold, and the grand total now stands at over a million and a half, or to be exact, 1,695, ,2O4 bottles.
 These are actual figures, and the fact that one hundred and fifty-eight carloads of Tanlac have been sold and shipped into the South and West since the first day of October, 1915, is matter of record and can easily be verified.
 One retail firm alone, the Jacobs Pharmacy Co.,, of Atlanta, have sold the astonishing total of 64,0OO bottles within the past twelve months. What is true of Atlanta, Is also true of prac- dcally every large city of the South and West, where the sales have been correspondingly large.
 The greatest drug firms of the coun- try have voluntarily come forward and stated in plain, cold figures, the rec ord breaking sales everywhere, as is

Test your garden soil for acidity. Procure a dimes worth of blue lit mus paper at drug store. Make a slit or incision in the damp soil, put in paper two-thirds it's length and leave 1t for a half-hour. If the change of color is to red or deep pink your soil needs heavy lining. If there is no change of color lining will be of little value.

YES! MAGICALLY! C0RNS LIFT OUT
 WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezone" This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order a small bottle from his wholesale drug house for you.-ads
