hard to believe.
Up to January first the total
sales of Tanlac amounted to ap-
proximately twelve million bot
ties. The demand, however, is
increasing, for during the first
ten weeks of this year over one
million bottles were sold and
distributed in the United States
and Canada, the exact figures
beinf 1906, 1876 in three months.
At this rate, therefore, the
sales for the present year will
amount to more than five million
bottles. This will mean that IT,
900 bottles of Tanlac will be sold
during every day of the year, or
200 bottles for every hour of
the average working day.
These figures are too stupen-
dous for the average mind to
grasp, but one may visualize
what twelve million bottles mean
by imagining them laid out in a
single file end to end. Thus laid

tower 1876 times as high as Pixies

In proof of this it is a note

forty to fifty car loads per year.

THE FORD BOOKSHELF.

The ive-foot bookshelf which the late Theodore
Roosevelt was wont to say was large enough to
man, becomes piece of gross extravaganza as
viewed in the light of the discrimination of
Henry Ford, of flivver fame. Henry has managed
to rise to position of eminence in the political and
or books at all. The ledger and the calendar seem
to be the most conspicuous literary features of the
Ford library. It will now be in order for some
enterprising publisher to offer to brain-fagged
public Ford book shelf as modern substitute
for the Elliott Roosevelt 6ve-foot affair, which
should now be regarded as criminal waste of tim
Der and paper. The Ford encyclopedia may be
compressed into something that will be of the thick
ness of milimeter, and can be carried about in
the lining OF ones hat pendant to a watch
chain If the Ford shelf will have the effect of
superseding the old crop OF jokes about the ivver
it will be welcome offering to the American public.

descent and much larger number of
citizens who believe in freedom and
in whose blood the spirit of the fathers
of our Revolution and the hatred of
English tyranny still runs clean and
pure.
ITO be more specific and to quote
from the pamphlet: Page 3, first line:
There are some people who are
now trying to make bad blood between
us and our allies;'
Page TT is, perhaps, most often
between us and our British allies that
some people, for motives of their own,
try to stir up unfriendly feelings; and
for this reason, 1t Is worth while to
remind ourselves especially of some
facts about the British-what they
stand for. and what they have done in
this war
Page 5-.They stand for democracy.
Don't be deceived by the ex-
ternal fact that England has king.
The actual working forces Of the Brit
1sh Government are thoroughly demo-
cratic. They stand for civiliza-
tion. The English colonial policy has
been founded on the principle that
the interests of the native subjects
are to be consulted In preference to
those of Europeans wherever the two
come in competition" In the English
colonies slaughter and slavery have
ceased. Constant warfare has given
way to peace. Roads and railroads
have been built; postal facilities pro-
vided, and the great doorway of edu-
cation has been opened. They stand
for fair play. That is why they have
safeguarded native rights in the colo
MES. That is why they have enforced
common law. They stand for fair
play In trade. Other nations have
tried to monopolize the trade of their
own colonies. England has always
given to every nation of the world
full trading rights in every English
colony. England has outstripped us in

English Propaganda.
IF the pamphlet from which the
foregoing excerpts are taken had been
issued as English propaganda and paid
for by the funds of that Government
an American would perhaps have small
cause to complain, however much he
might criticise and deplore the ego
tistic and false statements. But what
can we say Of this British propaganda
of false statement by an official agency
of the United States Government and
paid for by the money contributed by
the American people for welfare work?
1t Is to be regretted that any such or.
ganization using such moneys would

take this attitude of publicly insulting
the American people by distorting
facts as to the war by ignoring Bel
GUM and France and canonizing Eng
land, by falsely giving it credit un-
deservingly; and, worst of all, neglect
ing to give any credit whatever to the
United States which, instead of being
the preserver of Britain, according to
this pamphlet, owes its safety to
Britain's action. This is taking the
very position Of General Haig's book
which says that Britain alone won the
war, while he does not even mention
the American Army except Incl
dentally as occupying Coblenx after
the armistice.
lnnuendo to Irish Cause.
"And what of the innuendo as to
the Irish cause and the fond mother
hood of Britain for her colonies? Why
ignore the horrible conditions in Ire
land imposed by the British Govern
ment for seven hundred years, worse
today than ever; no habeas corpus; no
trial by jury; arrest without warrant:
no free speech; taxation at the rate
of $45 head; no right to market with
the world; no right to use home pro-
duce for the necessities of life; the
military force of 100000 soldiers, to
say nothing Of the constabulary spread
throughout the stricken land; with a
republic declared by 80 per cent of
the voters at time when the leaders
were in prison and the sympathizers

ing and health conditions; lack of
railroad shipping and commercial
development.

words of President Wilson in another

A Weak Reply.

Relative to your inquiry of even

Association, was one of q series of
pamphlets published by that organixa-

Brigadier General Munson, of the mo.
rale branch, that the pamphlet was
drafted by Professor A. O. Lovejoy of
the educational bureau of the National
War Work Council and that part of
the material was taken from an ad-
dress by Captain A. G. Keller of the
morale branch. I understand that the
pamphlet was published to advise en-.
listed men concerning facts and con,
ditions relative to the part played BY
the British Empire in the war with

Discussing the League Of Nations and particu-

Glennon of St. Louis has offered trenchsome
objection to the proposed pact in part as follows:
The present league plan is based upon the innate
honesty and evident justice Of the covenanting
nations, thing which some Of us doubt in reading
the story Of their claims which gave the convention
the appearance of grabfest.
by Article x of the League of Nations seal is
set upon every successful crime committed by the
signatores including what crimes may be written
in the present treaty of peace.
Every act Of conquest, every acre Of ground
stolen. every land looted and taken over BY the
looter, through Article x for the worlds

give through this article our approval and benedc-
