Celebrated Medicine Has
Done for Them.

IT Is seldom, indeed, that men of prom.
/ inence, especially men holding high
public office, Willingly express their in
debtcdness publicly to proprietary
medicine. Many prominent men, how
ever, including supreme court judges,
mayors of our leading cities, prominent
state and county officials, bankers, law
yers, doctors, editors, leading educa-
tors, government officials and even min
listers of the Gospel have deemed it
their duty to come forward and tell
the people what Tanlac has done for
them.
These well-knOwn men Of affairs
have recognized in this medicine new
discovery and n scientific triumph in
the medical world. 1t is n well-knOwn
fact that these splendid Endorsements
have been given Tanlac time and time
again and they will continue to be
given just as often as new tests of its
powers are made; and it also explains
why numbers Of the big drug firms of
the country are ordering 1t exclusively

MEATLESS DAYS TOBE
ABOLISHED IN BRITAIN
Augments Too Greatly Demand
on Breadstuffs, Commons
Is Told

LONDON, MAY . -- Great Britain's
'meatess day" is to he abolished be-
cause II augments the demand on bread
stuffs and other substitutes which are less
plentiful than meat. This was announced
by Baron Devonport the food controller.
in the House Of Lords. He declared that
"A diminution In tho consumption OF bread
stuns was Of vital moment and n main
factor in the situation but he added:
provided that the call for a reduction is
responded to and the efforts OF the sun
marines are not successful beyond roaSou-
able likelihood we shall get through with
n fairly satisfactory balance in mana 70

available"
The food controllers pronouncemcnt was
made in answer To n question ny baro''

ment could make any statement reg"iu-
ing the position Of food supplies ana
whether the Government proposed to take
any immediate steps to make certain thdt
such supplies should be equally Distribute"
among all classes Of the population 'oh-
tinung his reply, Lord Devonport SAID
AS recently stated. the consumption
of bread has not yet been suilcleh'N

classes of the community have dimillSi'u

the working classes. owing especlaiE 10

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY
Some of Their Peculiarities Affecting
he Hardware Trade

One of the infallible signs of prosperity
in the hardware trade is the general ad-
vance in all lines of goods, not alone be-
cause of higher prices of raw material and
labor, but likewise because of the oppOr-
tunity afforded manufacturers to get bet
ter prices by the great number of orders
which they are receiving. The surest way
TO whet the appetite Of both wholesa lers
and retailers Is for the manufacturers to
advance their prices. for that means that
the buyers fall over themselves to get In
more orders in anticipation Of stil further
appreciation Of figures.
Another sign of prosperity is the gem
eral and universal buying by dealers in all
lines. even those of minor importance In
dull periods such as have been experienced
for several years the demand for other than
staple and necessary items falls off to an
unbelievable degree Consumers economiZe
in one way by not buying all sorts of knick-
knacks and small IuXuries and manage
somehow to get along with just few nee
essary articles. For the staple sizes Of
screws and bolts will still continue to sell
fairly well in times of dun business. while
the sale of the odd sizes will amost cease.

HOSIERY MEN BUSY
BUYING MACHINERY
Subsidiary Bodies Have to Can
eel Their Supplementary
Conventions

The stocking and underwear makers have
been so busy giving orders for machinery
and materials at the Commercial Museum
exhibit that the executive sessions of the
various subassoclatiors of the National
Association Of Hosiery and Underwear Man
ufacturers have been Cancelled at the con-
venton, which opened yesterday and will
continue tomorrow. Of'cals yesterday were
unable to whip together dy runs for their
meetings.
Knit goods men say all the manufacturers
are 50 busy with untitled orders that df-
nculty is being felt by the Government in
getting bids on hosiery, underwear and knit
goods for army needs
The congestion In the business has been
intensified by the difficulty In getting orders
Med for all kinds of supplies. from Knitting
needles to raw cotton, that the heads of
knitting firms arc taking advantage Of tho
exhibition and convention to try to rush old
orders and TO urge early delivery on new
ones
According TO many manufacturers tho
rush of volunteers and the call for con-
scription are having serious effect on the
industry Shortage OF labor has been felt
for months out the needs of the nation for
men will greatly intensity the lack Of skilled
men workers.
The difficulty in making contracts for
raw materials far in advance Is another
faCtOr in tho congestion. The custom in
the Knit goods business is to order mate
ralS SiN TO niue months in advance Of de.
livery, but buyers say thay can scarcely
make any contracts for delivery more than
two or three months ahead
War needs and American prosperity are
pointed out as being the cIuses Tor both
the increased business and the added din
culties of the knitting trade. The demands
of the local trade FOR hosiery and under
wear have enormously increased with high
wages, and the export demands have also
advanced by leaps and bounds
Government figures show that the eS-
ports of knit goods during 1916 were S22,-
-0O, 900. whilc for 1918, tn" year before the
war. the exports were only $500 000. At
the same time, the imports OF knit goods
decreased from SA.5G0.00n in 1913. to $50.
900 in 1915. This falling-orf in imports
| rut an added burden on the home manufac-
| tufers.

AMERICAS GREAT NEED
Teaching That Will Lead to Content
ment and Stability

40 steam boiler is safe without its pro-
vision against overpressure; n perfectly
even application Of its power to the work
1t is doing is not possible All through
mechanics runs this same necessity of safe
guarding against the surplus of force which
must be generated to accomplish the work

A people virtually efficient and nothing
more win eventually run amuck, because
their values are all standardized. They

will be bent toward securing the best share
possible OF what is already produced or in
course of production; the mass effort and
product will be everything, the individual
ability to enlarge and enjoy what falls to
the individual lot will be lost. History
tells of many nations which have risen 10

short cycle Of years utterly collapsed. Their
people could do great things. but their en-
ergy had no balance wheel of safety.

achieve as an average for our people. but
what shall we do with the wealth and
leisure which as an average we do secure /?

that with more money and leisure will come
