Camp Mills, Mineola, N. Y, Sept.
23.-"The rainbow DIVISION" made up

For one hour and twenty three min

OF the division, and Major ". j. Nc

The troops are in admirable condi-

TANLAC'S SUCCESS is
DUE TO REAL Merit
Hot Air Will Put Balloon Up
But Won't Keep 1t
There.
1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE
But Success Is Impossible Unless
There Is Dollar For Dollar
Value Behind the Article
Z Adertised.

There is an age Of advertising, and
everyone is familiar with the popu-
lar saying, "It pays to advertise"
Advertising is business force. So
potent is the charm cast by it's spell
it has been shown to perform mar
velous feats and to accomplish
phenominal results. 1t cannot be
truly said, however, that everyone
who advertises succeeds, for unless
full value underlays the article adj
vertised, the advertising would ulti-
mately fall Of its own weight In
this connection we must not forget
the words of the immortal 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 advertisement a
dollars and cents value 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 adver-
tising and fair dealing.
Hot air will put up balloon but
it won't keep it there. So, when the
manufacturers of Tanlac placed it on
the market something over 2 years
ago, they did so with the firm con-
viction that they were Offering to
the people the best and purcst pro-
duct of its kind on the American
market today. They did not hesitate,
therefore, to eXpend vast sums for
advertising, because they knew that
the more the people heard about Tan
lac the more they would buy it, The
success 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 unhcard-of wonders. The ad-
vertising has been clean, straight
forward and constructive Actual
facts and figures have been stated
and stated in businesslike way in
a manner that has commanded conf
dcnce in the conservative claims set
forth. Underlying these claims there
has been real value, not from a dol
lars and cents point alone, but from
health as well. And that's just where
Tanlac has scored. And there's why
it is here to stay.
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is
sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Man
ming; l.. w. Nettles, Jordan; Shaw
d Plowden, New Zion; Farmers Sup

merton.-Adv.

Prosecution Reticent.

Solicitor Clement and others repre-
senting the prosecution were equally
reticent. Steps they might take at
tomorrow's hearing before Police
Magistrate A. B. Palmer were as
carefully guarded as was their deci-
sion suddenly announced Saturday,
not to hold second coroner-s inquest,
but to swear out warrant charging
Means with murder, and thus bring
him before a police magistrate.
1t was said today, however, that
this decision came after the State
had reason to believe that the de-
fense would seek to free Means by
high proceedings should a second in
quest connect him with Mrs. Kings
death. The first inquest verdict was
that Mrs. King was accidently shot,
and that verdict still remains on
record.
Magistrate Palmer might either
free Means of connection with the
death of Mrs. King or he might bind
him over to the grand jury. The
former action, however, would not
prevent the grand jury taking indc-
pendent action, if it saw fit.
Means Cheerful.
Means first night and day in con-
finement were described as quiet
ones, and at the Jail it was stated
his demeanor was cheerful.

SHORTAGE OF FALSE TEETH

Paris, Sept. 23.-There is q short,
age of false teeth in France. The
army is taking all the visible supply.
A single dental school, working for
the hospitals, has supplied $4,000
sets. All the other schools and den
tai establishments are utilizing such
quantities that the importations from
the United States and England arc
no longer sufficient and the only
French porcelain teeth factory has
been closed since the mobilization
The military authorities have been
asked to release the manager and

81 never felt BETTER" Means said
shortly after he 'ose today. Later
his wife and baby girl, Julie, visited
him with several other members of
his family. During the hours when
he had no visitors Means spent his
time reading newspapers and maga-
zines.
While members of Means family
were visiting him, Means large auto
mobile, which carried Mrs. King,
Means, and several others on the trip
that ended in the woman's death, was
wrecked as it turned downtown
corner. Ernest Fury, negro chauffeur,
who drove the car that evening, was
driving it again today, when he
crashed into the curbing, smashing
two wheels. No members of the
Means family were in the car at the
time.
Course of the Bullet.
William II. Burmcistcr, attached to
the Office Of Coroner Hoffman, at
Chicago, who caused the body of Mrs.
F"" o be disintcrred, arrived to-
3 IH for the hearing. Mr.. Burmeister,
was said, made an extended cX-
animation Of the course the bullet
took and was relied upon by the
State as one of the witnesses to
prove that the pistol could not have
been discharged in the hands of the
woman. Means testified at the first
inquest that Mrs. King accidentally
shot herself, the ball entering the
back of her head. Medical experts
and pistol experts from New York
also are expected to take part in
the testimony.
