EXPECT LIBERTY DAY
 TO SPEED BOND SALES
Look for Subscriptions to Send Total Over $2,000,000,0OO- $108,000, ,000 Added Yesterday Making $1,S9S, S,785,050


 Day will be. celebrated tomorrow by the nation with patriotic demonstra- tions in practically every city and town to speed the sale of Liberty Bonds. Subscriptions by tomorrow night are expected to be we'll above $2,000 100000 or tw thirds of the minimum total.
 In big cities special efforts will be made to get banks and corporations to turn in their pledges, held back heretofore for multitude of business reasons, and local campaign commit tees sent word tonight that the days sales undoubtedly would break re- cords for the campaign.
 In many states legal holiday has been declared, and in others arrange ments have been made for business houses and factories to close for part of the day to allow citizens to par ticipate in Liberty parades or to make house-to-house canvasses for sub- scriptions.
 In Washington government clerks will be released from work to march in great procession down Pennsyl- vania Agvenue. Many high officials had enrolled tonight to march.
 Subscription reports Jagged today, adding only s,OOo,OOO to previous reports, and making the total $1 ,S98,- 7S5,050. Officials had looked for g much larger figure for today than even the $120,OOO,OOO daily average, which must be maintained to reach the $3,0O0, 100000 by the end of next week, the close of the campaign.
 The standing of federal reserve dis tricts did not change materially. Their subscriptions and percentage records include:
 Kansas City subscription, $110, ,224,- 100; per cent, 84. Chicago subscrip- tion, $3O0,770, 700; per cent, 70. Dal- las subscription, $54,934, ,25O; per cent, 68. New York subscription, S468,- 279,850; per cent, 52. Richmond sub scription, $65, 1850; per cent, 30. Atlanta subscription, $2s,O49 ,25O; per cent, 31.
 The Kansas City district committee believes that district has obtained its quota, but there are no official cor roborative figures. New York, the low position of which has been a sur prise of the campaign, reported it had determined to climb out of tenth place, which it has held several days.
 Having won the honor of being the first district to attain it's quota, the St. Louis district is now engaged in final effort to put Tennessee over the top. All of the state is over except the city of Memphis, and 30 teams of 10 men each today started house-to- house canvass there for subscriptions. One hundred thousand dollars an hour was collected during the first half day. Subscribers in the St. Louis district now are estimated at 100000.
 A gain of only $24,000,000 was re- ported today by the New York dis trict. This represents the smaller subscriptions in the main, it was ex- plained, because the large corporaA tions and wealthy buyers continue to delay purchases.
 Both the Atlanta and Richmond districts report that it is impossible for them to obtain detailed informa- ton regarding the subscriptions in their districts.

RADlUM IS NOW
OFFERED TO ALL
FOR RHEUMATISM
This Great Curative Property
Can Now Be Tried at Home
BY Anybody.

Radium Is one of the most efficient
curative properties for rheumatism
known to medical science.
But
Radium treatments In the past have
been enormously expensive and the cost
has prohibited the average man or wo-
man who suffered from rheumatism
from trying it. Either the sufferer had
to journey TO some hot springs to drink
the water containing the radium ema-
nations or go to an institution known
as an "Emanatorium" where the ra
dunn treatment was taken by inhaling
the gas-or emapations-given off from
a quantity of pure radium.
Now, however, the radium treatment
is not expensive. Sufferers from rheu-
matism can try radium right in their
own homes and the cost is no greater
than the cost of Ordinary medicines.
The manufacturers of Tanlac, the
most widely known general system
tonic in America, have placed medi.
cine for rheumatism on the market and
it contains radium.
Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment, un.
der which name the new medicine is
being introduced, is complete. 1t con-
sists of tablet for internal use and
medicament for external use. Each of
the tablets for internal use produces
four nache units of genuine radium
emanation.
If you suffer from the aches and pains
and twnges of rheumatism get Tanlac
Rheumatism Treatment today and get
a real medicine for this dreaded COM
plant. You can get Tanlac Rheuma-
tism Treatment at any good drug store
where you get Tanlac, the famouJ tonic.
