THIS N AN Able TO
WORK NOW FIRST
time IN Two YEARS
Says Tanlac Gave Him
Biggest Surprise of His
Life-Gains 20
Pounds.

"Well, l have just finished my
third bottle of Tanlac, and do you
know l had the surprise Of my
life the other day when / got on
the scales and found l had actual
ly gained twenty pounds already"
said w. S. Hukill, a we'll known
carpenter, living at 1908 Park
Avenue, Tacoma, WASH, recently.
81 hadn't been able to hit a lick
of work in two years, until now"
he continued. "My appetite went
square back on me, and what lit
tie l did manage to eat soured on
my stomach, causing gas and in
tense suffering. My kidneys both
cred me something awful and my
back panied me so bad it was tor
ture for me to have 1t rubbed. l
was so nervous and miserable dur
ing those two years that l never
knew what a good nights sleep
was, and for seven months of that
time l was flat on my back, hard
ly able to move. /, of course, was
under treatment, spent some time
in the hospital, and took all kinds
of medicines, but with it all ]
kept getting worse.
II kept dropping off in weight
until / lost forty-seven pounds,
and was almost a living skeleton.
When / left the hospital and de-
cided to see what Tanlac would do
for me, / weighed only ninety
five pounds. But Tanlac certainly
has made wonderful change in
me. sleep fine, and really it's
the first time in two years | have
been able to sleep the night thru.
My back and kidneys don't bother
me any more and my stomach is in
such a good condition that can
eat just anything 1 want without
suffering q particle afterwards.
The way I am getting back my lost
weight is astonishing. As I said,
I have already gained twenty
pounds, and I am still gaining.
Not only that, / feel better than
have in years, and / am going
back to my work, as l feel strong
and we'll in every way, and I Just
can't praise Tanlac enough for
what 1t has done for me-"

Queer of real wealth does profitable
business and turns his profits back
into the business, he gives EN-
plOyment to men and creates more
real wealth as he progresses year by

WOMEN and WORK
World Getting New View Of the
Plantations of Sex"
Even In Japan Feminine Workers Are
Invading the Factories, Stores
and Offices.

A writer In the New East pictures
the coming of Japan's new woman" In
ways that would be impressive were
there no Europe and no world war. We
have heard before that bound feet are
no more in China, that Peking believes
in education for girls and that all
through the Flowery land the Ameri7
can sewing machine Is giving gOOd
account of itself, we are now assured
that Japan, politically modernized for
well nigh half century, Is deep In the
task of completing the emancipation OF
her women from the patriarchal sys-
tenn, says a writer in the Boston Her
aid.
Vast numbers of them have found
occupations in the factories; other
contingents are Mt work in the offices
and in that newest innovation of all,
the department store. The age Of bus
mess has at last dawned for the island
empire, and the click of the typewriter
is heard in the land. Meanwhile there
is rush Of women to the professions.
It is the women now who are sought
for the stage, and the demand has been
found large enough to warrant the for
nation Of dramatic schools attached to
the large theaters. A woman doctor
used to be an impossibility in Japan.
At this years examination Tor medical
practice in Tokyo ~ out OF 80 candi-
dates who passed were women. And
the call for woman teachers in the
schools grows apace.
Compare this peaceful type Of evolu-
ton with the changes which have
come to the western people under the
stress of war. In our own land the
women. once socially active mainly
through their churches and clubs, are
now fast closing up into great CO.
operative organization which has food
conservation for its detail and nation
al defense for it's unifying spirit and
end.
At a demonstration given the other
day by English women in HEREFORD
shire 1000 of them gathered to show
their proficiency in trimming bitches,
hoeing roots, carting, and a dozen
other k;uds of farm work which they
an eyewitness describes the remarka-
BILE showing made by these bands of
lithe-limoed maidens, with brown
faces under SLOUGH hats, marching in
knee breeches and leggings or put
tees" On the battle front American
women are helping the allies as driv
ers OF ambulances and motorcars; in
both France and England women run
buses, conduct trains and function in
scores Of occupations that have been
hitherto reserved for men. What
would the war amount to were it not
for the army Of woman workers in the
munitiOn factories? Then think of
Russia, which sends out woman war
riors to show her men how battles are
won.
1t should be plain that after this
struggle the world will never again be
exactly the same for women. We shall
have the steady evolution of social and
industrial structure such as Japan is
now displaying, but we shall also have
a new view Of the so-called Elimination
of SEX" Complete recognition of the
fact that women are also human be-
ings is assured beyond peradventure.
