KNIGHT LETTER" TELEGRAPH
 RATE LOWER AFTER JAN. i

Postmaster General Burleson on Tuesday, November 19, issued an or der to go into effect January l, 1919, reducing the night message" tele- gram rate, the effect of which is to enable Atlantic coast and Pacific coast States to intercommuncate for 50 cents. The lowest charge here to fore has been s1. This night mes- sage telegram will cost a minimum of 20 cents for 10 words and one cent for each extra word for the, shortest distances, and 50 cents for 10 words and two cents for each extra word for the longest distances. A comparison of the day rates for 10 words with the new night message rates follows:
 Where day message rate is 25-2, night message rate is 20-1.
 Where day message rate is 35-2, night message rate is 25-1.
 Where day. message rate is 4O-3, night message rate is 30-1.
 Where day message rate is 50-3, night message rate is 35-1.
 Where day message rate is GOA, night message rate is 4O-1.
 Where day message rate is 75-5, night message rate is 45-2. Where day message rate is 1OO-7, night message rate is 50-2.
 Other night message rates re- main as at present. /
 A very great increase of traffic between distant points is expected to | result from this low rate. A letter may take four or five days with no alternative now but the payment O. one dollar This gives the alternative of one-half dollar service, and brings the distant parts of the country about three days closer together.
 These night messages are made subject to post-office carrier delivery.
 The rate on ordinary telegrams, though sent at night, is not affected by this order.

TEXAS PHYSICIAN DECLARES TANLAC
 IS WITHOUT EQUAL
Says It's Best Reconstruction Tonic To Be Had for Building Up InfIu- enza Patients.

The following letter from Dr. J. w. Sandlin one of the most prominent physicians of Southern Texas, was recently received at the Tan lac office and gives indisput- able evidence of the value of Tanlac as a reconstruction tonic for persons who are recuperating from the after effects of Spanish in- fluenza. His letter follows:
 Humble, Texas, Nov 5, 1918.
 Dear Sir:
 Just a few lines in reference to Taniac. I have found your prepara- tion to be a wonderful reconstructive tonic, and in my opinion it has no equal in it's line. I have foud it to he the best tonic to be had to build up my patients who have had Spanish Influenza. I have treated within the past month about fourteen hundred cases, and have never been able to get sufficient Tanlac to supply our people.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-12-06
Yours very truly,

(Signed) DIR. J. w. SANDLIN.'
 Dr. Sandlin not only enjoys very large practice as a physician, but he is a man of wide influence and ranks as a leading citizen of the enterpris- ing little city of Humble, Texas.
 As a practicing physician of six teen years experience, Dr. Sandlin was quick to recognize the superior tonic properties of Tanlac over other remedies and unhesitatingly and vol untarily gave Tanlac his unqualified endorsement.
 "Tanlac is sold in Clifton by Cliff. ton Drug Co.,, in Duncan by Elk Drug Co.,, in Morenci by Arizona Copper Co. Ltd, in Guthrie by Brown and Beck, in Metcalf by Bianez and Val deg. and in Franklin by Franklin Go Operative Mercantile Institution.

First, 10 provide light and power
Tor Government buildings in Wash.

Second, TO provide light and power

To some extent. the power develop
ed could be utilized for heating, II
would have q tendency TO lessen the
demands for coal in the District and
thus would make the strain on fuel
supplies less severe.

The Interpreter

In relations between
peoples speaking differ
ent languages, and
especially when such
peoples are co-opera-
ting as allies, competent
interpreters are the FIRST
essential in intelligent
cooperation.
The first qualification
of the interpreter, is to
know not only the Ian
guage but the different
viewpoints and mental
habits of each people
to whom he acts as
interpreter.
Essential aid to the har-
monious solution of the
worlds present menacing
problems can be extended
by encouraging the .circula-
ton and distribution of The
Christian Science Monitor,
the interpreter of those
ideals toward which the
world is being so rapidly
impelled.
The Christian Science
Monitor, published in
Boston, arrives In Wash
ington each morning and Is
distributed by mail or
through newsdealers.
