HEAD SALESMAN

Burton Suffered Twenty Years
Before Finding the Right

In speaking Of the marvellous way
In which Tanlae has relieved him of a
long-standing case of rheumatism, B.
e. Burton. head salesman in the
wholesale fruit and vegetable depart
ment at Eutey Bros. Butte, Mont,
living at 662 South Montana Street,
recently said:
It is simpy astonishing that Just
q few bottles of Tanlac should fix me
up in almost no time, after / had
spent almost every dollar / earned
in the last twenty years trying to get
relief from that awful rheumatism. z

without result and then / tried the
mud baths nearer home, bnt got no
benefit from that treatment either.
A little while ago felt it coming on
pretty bad again. My appetite left
me, nothing tasted right, was con-
stipated and suffered from awful
headaches every few days. The pain
in my shoulders and knees was so ag-
onizing that could hardly sleep and
l would wake up six or seven times
during the night racked with pain.
Why at the time started taking Tan.
lac / couldn't raise my arms as high
as my shoulders to save my life and
was unable to put on my coat with

ginning,we shall do nothing more nor
less than Is done by every large bus
mess concern and by every railroad
company building into new territory.
To introduce his goods, the maniac
turer sends statesmen into territory
where the immediate sales do not pay
the expenses of the "drummers. But
future business resulting from the
initial expense justifies the under
taking. To bring new traffic to its
lines a railroad builds a branch into
territory that has little population,
little industry and little trade But
the establishment Of transportation
facilities brings people. industry and
trade, with resultant returns to the
railroad on its venture.
Exactly the same ends are to be
accomplished by the establishment
Of regular ocean transportation lines
between this country and foreign
ports where we have little. IL any,
trade at present. but where we can
reasonably expect to find an outlet at
profitable prices for the products OF
American farms, mines, factories and
other activities. In this transition
period in particular, when all the
world is making new adjustments OF
trade, it is OF vital Importance that
we put our products on foreign mar
kets ahead OF competitors II possible.
And we must not only be early but
constant purveyors Of American pro
ducts. Our foreign transportation
lines must be operated on regular
schedules and correlated with rail
transportation so that the pillow man

can ascertain In his local railroad of
flee at what time and at what cost he
can ship carload of pIows to Pales-
tine, il he has an inquiry from that
section Of the world for his product.
When such service has been estab-
lished. we shall enter upon new era

NEW MARKETS AND
THE MERCHANT MARINE

Washington, March s.-The Re-
publican Publicity Association. thru
its president. Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr.. today. gave out the following
statement from its Washington
headquarters:
Among the problems OF the
greatest importance in the future
commercial and industrial success
of the United States is that of devel-
Opment OF merchant marine of suf-
ficient magnitude TO carry the bulk Of
our foreign trade. Since we have
been and shall continue to be an ex-
porting nation. our chief problem is
TO find new. larger. and more prof
table markets for what we have to
sell. so that the net returns to the
American producer shall be as large
as competition in the markets of the
world will permit
ITO find new and larger markets
for our products, several undertake
ings are essential First, we must
place our goods on sale in new mar
kets even il we must do so at loss
during the period of introduction.
This we must do for the convenience
of the foreign buyer and in order to
induce him to become a regular con-
sumner Of our products. Second, we
must bring the foreign Transports
tion system to the door OF the Amer
lean producer We must do this for
the convenience Of the domestic deal
er and in order to induce him to look
to foreign fields for a regular market
for part OF his output.
when we have a foreign trans
portation system that extends from
the warehouse OF the American pro-
Queer to the warehouse Of the for
eign buyer in every part OF the
world, we shall be in a position to
develop our selling trade to that ut
most practicable extent. As result
OF the establishment of such a trans
pOrtation system we shall undoubt-
eddy buy more extensively abroad,
but the purchases will be transported
in American ships whose owners and
operatores will be agents for build
ing up OF American trade and whose
operating expenses will be incurred
chiefly in America. where the trans
portation profits will be retained. IN
der such correlated system we shall
sell more and at better profit; we
shall buy more and at better advan-
tage, and we shall save the freight
charges we have heretofore paid to
the owners OF foreign ships

we must do so at a loss in the be-

HALF A MILLION U. s. MULES
WITH ''oLD GLORY IN FRANCE

Mules are In favor as draft animals
in the war operations in this country
and in western Europe. The exports
during the war, undoubtedly for war
purposes. were about $4,000 mules
In place of normal export of proba-
bly, $4,000. The shipment overseas
by the war department numbered
about $4,000 mules, and at about
the end of 1918 approximately 106,-
600 were in the service of the war de-
partment in this country. Therefore.
nearly 100000 mules, the Bureau OF
Crop Estimates says, were supplied
to the war department and the allies
by the farms of this country for war
service.
Comparison OF mules with draft
horses is interesting. The war de-
partment shipped overseas about
$4,000 mules and $4,000 draft horses
of both OF which only 500 were lost
en- route. That department bought
$4,000 mules in France, Great Brit
ain, and Spain, and $4,000 horses
for all purposes, the draft horses not
being separately reported. On De-
cember 25. 1913. there were on hand
with the American Expeditionary
Forces $4,000 mules and 10000
draft horses, and the war department
had on hand November 3, 1918, Iea.-
900 mules and $4,000 draft horses.

Increased Production of
Coal Is Indicated BY
Report From Many Fields
Bu Associated Press

Chicago, Dec. ~. - General in
crease in production of bituminous
coal to-day was indicated by reports
from nearly all coal fields. In a few
sections, principally Illinois. how
ever, some of the workers were IN
rebellion against terms of Presi-
dent Wilson's proposal, acceptance
of which halted the strike, and in
Montana, Washington and Wyom-
ing the miners indicated they desir-
ed a more thorough understanding
of the plans. Other instances of de-
ferred resumption of production
were expected in the Pittsburgh dis
trict, where union leaders continued
officially to notify miners to return
to work and in West Virginia, where
new trouble was encountered be-
cause of the old question of the
ton generally was regarded with
optimism. There were many pre-
dictions of return to normal output
by early next week.
Severe Weather Passes
In addition to permission to retail
stores to operate nine hours Satur-
days no further immediate relaXa-
ton of the strict fuel conservation
orders was in prospect to-day. That
modification was made because OK
the near approach of the holiday
season.

Majority Of Miners in
Pennsylvania Signify
Willingness to Go Back

Pittsburgh, Dec. 12.-Ever4 effort
to expedite the return to work of
the $4,000 coal miners in the Pitts
ficials of district No. 5, United Mine
Workers of America. Union leaders
expected some of the men would re-
sumo work to-day and that produc-
ton would be heavy by Monday.
Many union locals of the district
held meetings last night to decide
the question of returning to work,
and mine workers officials here were
instructing other locals to hold such
sessions Immediately. In some in
stances officers of locals notified
headquarters that there was no ne
cessity for a vote of the member
ship, as the men had already signi-
fed their willingness to enter the
mines at once.
Stores Closed
The rigid fuel conservation or
ders of the Federal Fuel Admins
tration went into effect here to-day
with the result that department
stores and other esta blishments not
exempted remained. closed until the
noon hour. Under the regulations
the business houses affected will
cease doing business at 6 p. m.
Few of Pittsburgh's many indus
trial plants felt the effects of the
coal conservation measures, for
practically all steel mills and other
industries have reserve supplies on
hand which will last for several
weeks, according to reports.

fourteen mines in that section OF

Another Cold Wave Forming
Another cold wave was reported
formingsin the northwest and NOV
ing eastward. Most sections would
be fortified against it by renewal of
coal supplies, it was believed, how
ever.
In the great central competitive
field, where there was little or no
output yesterday, an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of q quick return
to work was indicated IN reports
and statements of union leaders and
virtually all mines except in Illinois
were expected to be operated to-day
or at the latest by Monday.
Nearly normal production by the
end of the week was predicted for
southern mines. Reports were that
by that time mines in kentucky,
Tennessee and Alabama generally
would be in operation.
In the southwest Kansas was the
only state where it seemed doubt
full when operations would begin.
The miners in Missouri, Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Texas were reported
ready to return to work to-day.
The Kansas situation depended
upon the outcome of q conference
at Pittsburgh to-day between the
Governor and Alexander NJ. Howat,
president of the Kansas miners,
concerning withdrawal of volunteer
diggers and troops. 1t was under
stood an agreement was reached
yesterday to withdraw the men COM
planned of by the miners as soon as
the latter had re-entered the mines.
To Force Recalcitrants
In Illinois number of the locals
voted not to accept the terms of the
strike settlement and to remain
away from the mines. Frank Far
rington, state president of the min
ers, expressed confidence that the
men would resume production and
said that the state organization
would use every means to force re-
calcitrant locals to abide by the set
tlement. He and some of the oper-
ators also expressed belief that by
the first of next week the output
would be normal for this time of the
year.

declared to-day that operators of
that region had refused to deal
with miners representatives on the
