Rent Profiteers in Manila.

Landlords, owners of residences and business buildings in Manila, are- taking advantage of the paucity of homes and commercial structures to raise rents abnormally. Workers for salaries or wages, and firms and companies in mercantile pursuits, com plain bitterly of the demands of the owners or lessors of houses and stores, factories and bodegas. Most of the victims have to yield to the increased rents because they have no recourse. One man who paid $40 a month for his small. uncomfortable home, has been informed that he must pay $50.- Manila Times.

 NOW M0b|LR|NG
STATE CONFERENCES RECENTLY
 HELD iN SIX CITIES TO a DISCUSS PLANS.
FIGHTING MEN VOLUNTEER
Responses by the Hundreds Pouring In to Appeal For 100000
 Workers.


 Red Cross workers has begun. Re- ports reaching Red Cross division headquarters in St. Louis indicate that plans for the Third Roll Call, Novem- Der 2 to II, are well under way in almost every one of the 655 Red Cross Chapters in the five states-Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan- sas = comprising the Southwestern Division.
 Chapter Roll Call Directors have been appointed in virtually every city, town and county and with but few exceptions working organizations are in process of formation at each place State Directors have been appointed to take charge of the rapidly forming machine Added impetus has been given to the preliminary campaign by the holding of Statewide Roll Call conferences recently at St. Louis. Topeka, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City and Little Rock, at which definite campaign plans affecting every section of each State in the division were decided upon.
 Meanwhile, responses to the call for 100000 volunteer workers to serve during the coming drive are pouring in by the hundreds to Red Cross headquarters. Once a Red Cross worker, always Red Cross worker" is the slogan adopted. Soldiers, sailors and marines, some of whom were in the thick Of the fighting overseas, are offering their services Many of these men will be utilized as speakers to describe some of the benefits accruing to the fighting men by reason of the presence of the Red Cross in the field of hostilities.
 During the first part of the cam paign there will be a house-to-houss canvassing for Red Cross member ships under a distinct arrangement; but on the last two days district lines will be disregarded and former service men as well as women volunteer workers will take up their taaks with rowing commissions. Not only are discharged service men wanted ss Red Cross canvassers but State and National Guardsmen are urged to enroll as quickly as possible. Tho Red Cross welcomes assistance of all former Army and Navy officers and men who approved of the work of the Red Cross during the war.
 Speakers and writers are being sought by the organization and asked to "do their bit" Numerous accept ances already have been received from speakers and at present . determined effcst is being made to obtain the services of all newspaper men who saw service overseas and are qualified to speak O. write of their adventures. A Preliminary campaign is being waged through text posters and other printed matter that has been sent to throughout the country.
 | Red Cross officials are stressing the point that the drive is to be made for memberships only and that no appeal is contemplated wherein the general public will be asked for funds. An encouraging number of public spirited men and women through the division already have applied at Red Cross Chapters asking a renewal of their memberships for next year.

Eco,ich Question.

An official who was making up an assessment roll because of some re- cent street improvement called at each house on the improved streets to learn the names of the property owners. At one house he climbed out of his car, went to the door and knocked.
 "Who owns this property?" he asked. "Why. I do," the woman answered. The official got her name and pnt 1t down in his book. Then he took a squint at the size of the lot.
 How many feet?' he asked. Two, of course" the woman snapped, won- dering whether he thought she was a centipede.

~ have been trying for four
years to find medicine that would
overcome my troubles, but :! never
had any success until got hold OF
this Tanlac," said Robert Holtz, who
lives at 1417 Baltimore Ave,
Kansas City, Mo-, the other day.
0When I commenced taking Tan
lac" continued Mr.. Holtz, "my
stomach was in such bad condition
that I was actually afraid to eat
anything at all. My food would
sour. and this would cause gas to
form and would be perfectly
miserable for hours afterwards. MY
kidneys were out of order, too, and
I would have the worst sort of pains
in nv back every day. My liver
wouldn't act well, either, and l was
badly constipated all the time. Then
INV whole nervous system seemed to
give down, and didn't know what
a GOOD nights sleep was. I finally
got so bad off that / had to lay off
from nv work three or four days
every week. It just seemed impos-
sible for me to find a medicine or
treatment that would do me any
good at all.
II really didn't expect Tanlac to
do me much good, but I had heard
SO much about it that just thought
I would try one bottle anyway. l
felt so much better when l had
finished that first bottle, that /
bought another, and just kept that
lick up until I am now sound,
healthy man again. My troubles
have been completely overcome, and
am so we'll and strong that l
never lose an hour from my work.
The pain is gone from my back.
and my kidneys seems to be all
right now. My stomach is in such
fine condition that l eat just any
thing I want, and l don't know what
it il to suffer from indigestion and
sour stomach any more. My liver
is acting all right, too, and l am
never constipated like I used to be.
/ am not bothered with nervousness
any more either, and I sleep like a
log every night. In fact, Tanlac
was the very medicine nau Deen
needing all the time, but l am so
happy over what it has done for me
that I just feel like l want the
whole world to know what wonder
full medicine Tanlac is"

after the wedding? Would a suit be
all right to be married in, as we in

put reply to these questions in

A-TO-BE.
Wedding announcements should
be mailed at the very first opportun-
ity after the ceremony. Invitations
should be sent two weeks in ad-
vance. Convention permits either a
suit or dress for the bride. The for
mer is usually chosen for a daytime
service, especially If the bridal cou-
pie go to the train shortly after.
Nothing is more lovely than a bride
in white, particularly for the even

tensive and expensive trousseau, I
would favor dress. Memories and
sentiment will cluster around your
wedding all your life, and I believe
