BARRIER HAS BEEN LEVELED
False Standards Of Life Disappear
When Boys Of Rich and Poor
Go to War Side by Side.

- Close to me lives man whose IN
terests have been separated from mine
by more than mere lvy-grown stone
fence-to be exact, by several hundred
dollars, says writer in the Woman's
Home Companion. The other day he
leaned over the fence and inquired:
"Your boy going?"
"Yes."
'Afine too. Had a notion he didn't
want to wait for conscription. By the
way, those eggplants Of yours are not
coming on very well. May send my
man over with some fertilizer that has
helped ours?"
The fence is su ere but not
the barrier. Our bo, 'ur coun-
try leveled It.
There's bound to be d lot of such
leveling from this time on. Some Of
US who have been too busy to get ac-
quainted are going to know each other.
Some who have been too absorbed by
money making and reputation-seeking
to make friends will suddenly feel the
need Of comradeship. Some of US who
have worried because our neighbors
dressed better than we did, had finer
phonograph, or ran a faster car are
going to have our eyes opened to the
falseness Of the standards by which
we have judged ourselves and each
other. We're going to like each other
a great deal better and to need each
other great deal more.

T4NLAC's SUCCESS DUE
TO REAL MERIT
Hot Air Will Put a Balloon up But
Won't Keep it There
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
But Success is Impossible Unless There
Is a DOIlar-f0r.D Dollar Value Be-
hind the Article Advertised

This is an age of advertising, ara
everyone is familiar with the pop,
ular saying, 1T pays to advertise"
Advertising is business force. s.
ra.ert. is the charm cast by its spell
it has been known to perform marVc-
lous feats and to accomplish phenom->
email results. 1t cannot be truly SAID.
however. that everyone who advertls-
pc succeeds, for unless full value TN
derlavs the article advertised, the ad'
~ertisins would ultimately fall Of its
own weight. In this connection we
must not forget the words of the I'M
mortal Lincoln, who said: "You can
fool some of the people all of the
time. YOU can fool all of the people
some of the time, but you cannot
fool all of the people all of the time.
So if there is not behind every ad-
vertisement dollars and cents val
ue TO the article advertised, no
amount of advertising will stimulate
the sale on such an article beyond
certain point. This applies to
every line of business, and the
modern business man or firm can
only succeed through honest advertls-
ine and fair dealing.
Hot air. will put up balloon out
il won't keep it there. So, when tne
manufacturers of Tanlac placed 1t on
the market something over years
ago, they did so with the firm convlc-
ton that they were offering to 1hs
reople the best and purest product OF
IFS kind on the American market to-
dav. They did not hesitate, there
fore. to expend vast sums for edver-
tising. because they knew that the
more the people heard about Tanlac
the more they would buy it. The sue
cess the preparation achieved was
immediate, and people everywhere
were quick to recognize its genuine
merit.
Tanlac has never been advertised
as "cure-all" or that it would per-
form unheard-of wonders. The aa-
yertising has been clean, straight
forward and constructive. Actual
facts and figures have been staten
and stated in businesslike way IN
q manner that has commanded conf
dence, in the conservative claims set
forth. Underlying these claims there
has been real value, not from a COZ
lars and cents point alone, but from
health as we'll. And that's just Whefe
Tanlac has scored. And that's Why
it is here to stay. y

new METALS BEING SOUGHT
Manufacturers Looking for Substitute,
for Those Now Used Because Of
Advance In Prices.

The recent advance in price of many
OF the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or consider
the adoption of various substitute
metals " alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau of standards
has frequently been sought i'm this con-
nection. An interesting field of inves-
tigation is opened up by such inquiries.
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than others.
and Il slight difference i'm price would
warrant q substitution. 1t is not usu-
ally possible, however. to suggest sub
stitutes offhand. as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. "Therc is" says the
bureau, "a very wide field of research
here. which would undoubtedly repay
