Dear Sir; Mr.. f. J. Henry, pre-

ELI, sell me another bottle Of Tan

Il said All right, Mr. Henry. What
to you really think Of Tanlac?' His
reply was so commendable to the Vir-

him if he would give me signed
statement about it. He said yes, of
course l will, and this is his state

| Last spring I was all wrong some
way or other, and couldn't get right
came to you and bought bottle of
Tanlac and began to improve. Two
more bottles put me all right, and
felt perfectly well. A few weeks ago

to get down and out again, and about
a week ago | bought another bottle
and have taken it and am perfectly
well again.

take Tanlac when they first begin t
feel bad it will prevent and keep of
sickness. 1t certainly is a great rem

ARTIST STAGES THRILLER
Prominent Painter Suicides
in Dramatic Fashion in
San, Francisco.

San; Francisco. Jan. 21.-Miss Betty
de Jong, prominent member Of the
San Francisco sart colony and a painter
Of international reputation. died early
today from q self-inflicted bullet
wound in the head. The police. after
questioning DIR. William s. Porter. a
well known physician Of Oakland, who
was in Miss de Jong's studio when
she shot herself. permitted him to go
to his home.
An autopsy was performed today,
revealing. the police said. no new
facts. An inquest will be held in a
few days.
DR.. Porter. who is president Of the
Alemeda County Art association, told
the police that about three months
ago he began sitting for a portrait by
Miss de Jong. He said he was to have
had a sitting yesterday afternoon and
called at the studio to inform the
artist he could not keep the appoint
ment. Miss de Jong. he said, asked
him to return before going home. This
he did shortly after o'clock. AL
most Immediately after his arrival, the
physician declares, Miss de long be-
gan discussing suicide. all the while
holding a small revolver. For three
hours the physician said he tried to
persuade the young woman not to
think of such a thing. Finally, when
he was about to leave. he said Miss
dc Jong shot herself in the temple.
The police said tonight that they
found in the studio not only complete
confederation Of Or. Porter's story.
but evidences that Miss dc Jong had
carefully set the stage for the tragic
end.
When DR.. Porter returned to the
studio at o'clock, he found that the
furniture had been completely rear
ranged. He said heswas conducted to
a chair that had been placed by itself
near the innermost wall of the studio.
Under this chair was a rug about eight
feet square.
Miss dc Jong. seated herself on big
chair near the door, produced the
pistol and informed him that she was
going to kill herself before he left.
Il started towards her. said the
doctor. "She pointned the gun at me
and said: Don't leave that rug or I'll
kill you first
Finding serious argument unavail-
ing, he said, he tried to treat the
matter lightly.
You seem to have everything very
nicely planned" he said. when are
you going to do this dreadful thing?"
THE second you step off that rug"
the doctor said she replied.
1t was shortly after that, he told the
police. that Miss de tJong in con-
versational tone. said:
You may go now"
II thought l had succeeded in max
ing her change her mind" he said, "or
I would have been there yet. AS

know the rest"

the funeral. which was set for Tues

found the following:
There is no substitute for hard
work."

He never permitted a dividend to be
passed. The stock of his company was
as good as its bonds.
I'VE consider ourselves and the pco-

the prosperity of the country we both
occupy; their adversely will be quickly

Il would not vote for anyone as di-

OPPORTUNITY IN FRANCE
American Industrial Commits
sion Returns From Tour
Of Inspection.

New York, Jan. 21.-The American
industrial commission to France made
public today the first installment of
an executive report it is to make to
the American Manufacturers Export
association dealing with the condition
which will probably confront the in
lustries of France at the close of the
war.
The American industrial commission
was invited to France by the French
trade commission.
The commission sailed from New
York on August 26, 1916. and after
landing at Bordeaux made a compre-
hensive tour of the industrial regions
of France.
The report said in part:
Even at this time with the war rag
ing it was found that there is much
reconstruction and new building ready
to be undertaken. When peace comes
the amount of construction in indus
trial plants generally will be large.
This applies both to France and Bel
GUM.
In France alone along the battle
front, more than 400 factories have
been destroyed and within the invaded
region it is said that the plants have
been denuded Of machinery, tools, raw
materials, building equipment and
everything of value.
Since the war n number of COM
panies in the north, unable to operate
their mills, have started new plants in
other sections Of France.
The Importance of keeping indus
tries upon which the country may de-
pend for her safety in times of war
away from the frontier regions will be
horne in mind. New plants are aris-
ing in sections in which industry has
been heretofore hardly found.
We often heard the hope exposed
that--aftcr the war--American manu-
facturers and American capital would
cooperate with French interests and
erect new plants in France. There is
disclosed here large field for Amer
lean enterprise.
