D.lA.oaz}i. DISEASES 9F
'CH.L.lEE... uiJ1.SplEAJI. STATE
Nj. CAUSED 81 IsIIIj.HIs

The diarcheal diseases of children
commonly known as summer bowel
complaints, are being reported from
many sections Of North Carolina.
The State Board Of Health states
that this class of diseases is not
caused by Influenza, as is being,
commonly reported, and that there
is no direct connection between the
two infections. Infant diarrhea is an
infectious disease and is caused
this year, as it has always been
caused, by improper feeding and
lack Of sanitation about the home.
Errors of diet are mainly response
bic for starting the condition which
IL serious one and kills more than
26OO babies each year; diet ccr-
tanning too much sugar proprietary
foods, as rule, come under this
class> being the most usual cause.
loo much sugar upsets the baby's
digestive tract and predisposes to
the infectious forms Of diarrhea
which are transmitted by flies from
open prlvles and soiled napkins or
spread by strawberries and other
vegetables.
The State Board of Health wishes
to impress the following facts about
infant diarrhea:
l. It is a dangerous infectious di
sease and babies who contract it
should receive immediate. attention.
2. Influenza is not the cause of
the disease and is not responsible
for it. Parents who do not provide
home sanitation and proper food
for their babies are the ones respon-
sible for the disease.
3. The State Board of Health will
be glad to send literature REGARDING
the disease and its pres ention to
anyone writing for it.

Worlds Record Is
Broken BY Tanlac
Bottles Sold In Four Years Would
Reach From New York
To Denver Colo.

foGr years ago very few people
had ever heard of Tanlac. Todav il
unquestlonably has the largest sale
OF any medicine in the world. and
Is as well known in Canada as in
;his country, In the brief period of
only iour years time this now famous
remedy has leaped from oDscuiitv
to the very pinaCle Of success. Its
fine in fact, has long since spread
beyond the limits of the continent
and numerous inquiries regardind
1t are now being received from
many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, sully
realize what a wonderful recor
Ianlac has made. Indeed, ii it were
not for the UNREASONABLE facts
end figures given out by the largest
and BEST known drug firms Of the
country the story OF it's success
would be hard to believe.
Up to January first the tota!
sales Of Tanlac amounted to an
proxlmately twelve million bottles.
HE demand, however, is increasing
Tor during the first ten weeks OF
this year over one million bottles
were sold and distributed in the
Unlted states and Canada the
exact figure being 1,3O6,166 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 1900 bottles
OF Ianlac will be sold during every
day of the year or 210O bottles for
every hour OF the average working
day.
these figures are too stupendous
for the average mind to grasp, bu;
one may visualize what twelve mil
lion bottles mean by imagining
ITEM laid out in a single fi.e end
to end. Thus laid they would make
track of Tanlac from New York
through Chicago, and on to Denver
Colorado; or they would form a
double track of Tanlac from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
Piled end on end they would tower
1876 times as high as Pixies Peak,
Or rise 1888 times higher than the
Woolworth building in New York.
the tallest building in the world.
The demand for Tantac has be-
come SO great that it's sale inste1 d
of being measured by the gross as
| other preparations have been is
now reckoned by the car load, and
even by the train load. In proof of
this is a noteworthy fact that

ALASKAN SAVED FROM DEATH BY
 HUNTERS WORD

Stranger than fiction is the story
 of Fred Wagner's life since he left
 the North number of years ago
 Twice in a British pi;son. sentenced
 to death by the Germans, and de- prived of his property by the Ameri- cans, are some of the happenings,
 but the saving of his life in Ger many by man whom he had met
 in the North is the strangest Of the many unusual experiences.
 Wagner Is an oldtimer of the Hot Springs district, where he owns some mining ground, and at the time he left Alaska ne had a considerable sum of money on deposit in the First National bank at Fairbanks.
 The oldtimer was born in Lorraine. and when the war started he wanted to get home. He did considerable moving about until the Germans finally took him into custody, and he was still a prisoner at the great
 German fortress at Metz when the
 American forces entered the city and released him. Twice during his absence from America he was apprehended by the British authori-
 ties, on one occasion having been sent to Scotland, from which place has friends in Alaska were apprised of his confinement.
 l After securing his release in Eng land, Wagner went into German territory again and was interned by the German military authorities. He escaped from the internment camp, was recaptured, and later made second attempt to escape, after which he was sentenced to death.
 Count von Mauer, who visited h. terior Alaska a number of years i ago on a hunting expedition, and who was in command of a German force near Metz at the time Wagner was sentenced to death, came to l the resI2c of the condemned man. proving to the satisfaction of the German authorities that what Wag- ner had said about being from Alas ka was true. whereupon a reprieve was granted. Wagner was not re- leased. however, until after the ar mistice was signed.
 While Wagner was having his troubles on the other side of the Atlantic. the alien property custodi- an heard that the Alaskan had en- tered the service of the German government as an engineer on a Uboat, and steps were taken to seize the belongings of the wander CT in this country.
 Wagner returned to the States soon after his release. and is now at Fairbanks, trying to get his money released from the bank. He was a passenger on the steamer Panama, arriving at Cinema a day or two ago. .... The German officer who came to the rescue of Wagner attracted con siderable notice 70 himself in Alas ka, as the result of shooting an h. dian, which. he convinced the au- thorities. he did in self-defense. He was in the Hot Springs country and hunted on several tributaries of the Tanana river during his stay in the Interior. After the shooting, he spent some time in Fairbanks.

STATE INSURANCE
DELAYED IN CANADA
Royal Commissioner Reports
Time Not Ripe for Com
pulsory System.

TORONTO, March 10.-The report Of
appointed to inquire into the fire insur-
ance businesses in the province, has been
completed and will be submitted to the
Provincial Legislature as a basis for new
legislation. The report points out that
the amount of insurance carried with
licensed companies in tho province is
t1,700, 100000, and s137.oOO,OO0 is car
Red with foreign companies. The fire
loss in 1917 was SS,500,O
While the report says there are great
advantages to be gained from compul-
sorry state insurance, It would neither be
desirable nor practicable at present.
About 100000 per annum could he
saved IN this way. The lack OF data
available, the huge labor of reinvestiga-
ton and the general disruption of bust
ness are given as reasons against the
adoption OF the system at present.
The work of the Underwriters Asso-
citation is commended in the report,
which says:
THE combination tends strongly to
maintain the solvency OF the companies,
to stabilize the rate. TO eliminate dis
elimination and to assist in controlling
the expenses OF carrying on the bust
ness" However, the report recommends
that the association fought to be fully
subject to the supervision and control OF
the state
Similar supervision OF all other rate
making bodies is also recommended by
the report. This includes all insurance
associations writing boiler, automobile
and casualty policies The prohibition OF
rates discriminating unfairly between
risks of essentially the same hazard Is
recommended, with the note that the SUI
In, ha ~
cancel any such discriminatory rate.
Further recommendations are:
i. Power to the superintendent to
inquire, mediate and report in re-
spect to any differences regarding
any Insurance matter Such meas
ure, adds the report would cause
little disruption of business and would
be more practicable than more drastic
legislation.
2. That all companies be required
TO keep their records in such way as
TO classify the business done by them
and show In their annual reports TO
tho department not only the amount
of business done by them in the prov
irce. and the underwriters profit. but
also the profits made in each OF the
several classes of risks assumed by
them and for this purpose a form Of
return should be agreed upon and set
tied with the Dominion Insurance
Department so that the returns made
TO Ottawa and to Toronto may be
Identical
Mr.. Justice Masten also recommends
an eximanatiou by the Insurance De-
partment of all applicants for licenses as
agents brokers or adjustors. In case
OF ref'',al the matter might be taken
before a Judge. These licenses should
be liable to cancellation and the price
fixed on a sliding scale, with the mini
mum fixed at 81 and going up to 500
as a maximum for Toronto.

NewfoundIsn Bonds at 10Y.

For instance. the Newfoundland Gas,
representing the first loan ever offered
in Canada by the Newfoundland Gov
eminent. are now selling at about 107.
against the issue price of 100 last year.
Good municipal bonds, which were fairly
plentiful on a per cent. basis a year
ago. are scarce at prices TO Yield $50
per cent. or slightly less City of Cal
gary bonds, which were sold AZ year ago
on per cent. basis. are quoted on
6 per cent. basis to-day.
OF course these prices are influenced TO
a considerable extent by American buy
ing attracted by the premium on New
York funds. and conversely Canadian
buying OF American bonds is discour-
aged by the corresponding discount on
Montreal funds.
The situation is peculiar, the exchange
factor being responsible in part at least
for the narrowing yields on good Cana
dian bonds and the more favorable terms
on which new borrowing may he con-
Quoted. The recent issue at par OF ST.
100000 6la per cent. flve year notes of
Montreal Tramways and Power Com
pany, All issue that was brought out to
provide for an obligation of the company
that natures in the United States mar
ket in April, has all been placed at par
and interest. the success of the Offering
coming somewhat as a surprise to the
financial district.
The stssuN of old issUsseauJf the
rapid absorption of new offerings are
impressive indications of the consider
able supply of money awaiting invest
ment In Canada. Back of this Is not
only the accumulation of personal wealth
during the war period, but the fact that,
as war business Is liquidated, many cor
porations are finding themselves with
cash balances far In excess OF their bust
ness requirements.
