Switzerland Like United States.

Switzerland is the only European
example of federatiye and demo-
cratic republic of the American type,
observes a writer. Switzerland, as the
United States, was born from desire
for emancipation from autocratic des-
potism; like the United States, Swift
zerland never believed in the divine
right of kings. The very past which
the ancient federateS, on that quiet
spot, the "Rutli," on the classic Lake
of Lucerne on August l, 1921, swore
to- embodies that great principle for
which now, 626 years later, the United
States is fighting, namely, to quote
President Wilson's own words, For
the right of those who submit to au-
thority to have voice in their own
governments" There the old Swiss
proclaimed elf-government against the
autocratic rule of the Hapsburg, in the
following words: 1--WE ordain and d.
rect with unanimous accord, that in
the aforementioned valleys we shall
recognize no judge who shall have
bought his rights with money or In any
other manner, or who shall not be a
native and an inhabitant of these dis
tricts."

The Postal Airplane

The world is moving along. TIL,
first regular postal service by air
plane has been established between
Washington and New York. In
little while the wonder al
this will cease for these mail routes
will become as common as railway
mail cars and mail will be carried
across the country at the rate Of per-
haps $50 or maybe 200 miles an hour,
so that a letter posted in New York
in the evening will be delivered in San
Francisco the next evening. 1t is GER
tain that within short time the pas
senger airship will follow the postal
airplane. Within 10 years travel by
airships will be common and delight
full beyond any other form of travel
ever developed. Far above the CRIME
and dust and heat of earth the
vast airship will fly with the speed of
the swiftest eagle, while the passen-
gers in perfect comfort will watch the
panorama Of plains, lakes,
hills and mountains unfold beneath
them as they fly. The next great in
dustrial development after the war is
over will be the airplane.

Mrs. Jno. O'Connor, who lives a
1913 East Oldham street, Knoxville
Tenn, called up the Kuhlman- Cham
bliss Drug Co., recently and said she
wanted to speak to the "Tanlacv man
When Mr.. Willis answered the tele.
phone, Mrs. O'Connor made the fol-
lowing remarkable statement:
81 just wanted you to know, and
everybody else to know, what that
Tanlac medicine has done for me.
Why, | have gained eight pounds al
ready, and have only been taking it
for ten days. / have just finished
taking the first bottle and have sent
Mr.. O'Connor back to the store this
morning for another bottle. This
Tanlac certainly does just what you
say it will do. l began to eat better,
sleep better and feel better from the
very first dose, and the change in my
condition has just been wonderful. |
had a good doctor before l began u.s.
ing Tanlac, but he didn't seem to I'M
derstand my case, and his medicine
did not seem to do me any good, so !
just set it aside and quit using it.
"For the past five or six years |
have been in rundown condition
nervous, weak and at times very dir
zy. had nervous headache and indi-
gestion perfectly awful. My stomach
was so weak | couldn't digest the
and depressed and slept very little.
l had become so Respondent over my
condition | thought nothing could help
me. 1t certainly was lucky for me
when | heard of Tanlac. 1t is not
like any other medicine | have tried
it seems to soothe my stomach, and is
a fine tonic, too, because my appetite
is good now, and digest what eat.
If anyone had told me there was
medicine on earth that would make
me gain eight pounds in ten days,
| would have thought them crazy.
81 don't believe there is another
medicine on earth like Tanlac My
is also a great deal better
in fact, ! hardly notice it any more"
Tanlac, the wonderful medicine that
accomplished such remarkable results
in Mrs. O'Connor's case, is sold in

nEALTH THAT MAKES WEALTH
to Think New Thoughts and lniti-
ate New Plans important.

Probably the majority of men do not
know what real health means. It
means more than the capacity to sit
up and eat, to walk, to board car and
to bend over desk. Real health
means more than the real ability to do
the same thing day after day. Real
health means degree of stirring, nery-
Gus energy that enables one to think
new thoughts, conceive new plans and
initiate new enterprises. Supera-
bundant nervous energy is back Of ex-
ceptional mental activity. 1t is the
basis of all those qualities which are
most essential in the struggle for sue
cess.
It is not sufficient to have health
that will enable you to do a common
place days work, Hugo Masters writes
in Physical Culture. The right kind
of health should give you the energy
with which to perform far more than
a days work, if necessary, even from
q quantitative standpoint. 1t is com
monty the man with an unlimited ca
pacity for work who gets on. He is
able to work long hours without firing.
Successful men invariably enjoy the
possession of this degree of nervous
endurance or working endurance.
But it is not this that is most i'm
portant. The possession Of energy is
essential, not so much for the sake Of
the capacity for long hours of work,
but on account Of the quality Of work
which it enables one to perform.
Quality Of effort is more important
than quantity of work and the greatest
value of unlimited energy lies in CIV
ing one the capacity for concentration,
the capacity for an intensity of effort
that Is beyond the average man.

BRITISH MAKE TWO RAIDS
English ard Scotch Troops Bring
Back Prisoners.

London, March 1.-"English troops
carried out successful raid against
the enemy's trenches on Greenland
hill, north Of the Scarpe river says
the war Office report. Twelve pris-
oners and a machine gun were cap
tured by us. English and Scottish
troops also raided German positions in
the southern portion of Houtholst for
est and brought back twelve prisoners
and three machine guns.
"The enemy's artillery was active in
the neighborhood of Havrincourt wood
and south of the Scarpe river. The ar
tillery on both sides was active dur
ing the early part Of the night east of
Ypres."
An official statement of British
aerial operations says of the opera
tions On Wednesday,:
-Four tons of bombs were dropped
on large railway sidings at Courtrai, a
railway junction midway between
Douai and Valenciennes, two air.
dromes north of Douai and Billets.
During the night more than half a
ton of bombs were dropped on the bar

Africa Second LARGEST.

Africa is the second largest of the
continental divisions of the earth, con-
tanning 11,632,OOO square miles. Eu-
rope contains 3,e71. .OO4; Asia, 17,47O,-
$50; North America, 7,116,OOO; South
America, 7,344,OO0. At the outbreak
of the present war, August, 1914, Eu-
ropean states had established protec-
torates over 1t. By agreement, Great
Britain controlled about 100000
square miles; France, 4,422, 900; Ger
many, 931, 900; Belgium, 100000; Por-
tugal, 100000; Spain, $4,000, with ma
tive ownership ignored everywhere.
These areas of control have undergone
material changes since the war began
and no doubt will be further changed
at its conclusion. The different areas
have been held and governed as col
onies, the only politics being contest
among the nations to obtain and hold
as much as possible. 1t has been what
might be called in common phrase "a
grab game" on a large scale, with a
continent as the spoilS.
