 For ten or twelve years" she con tinued, 'I suffered from an awful case of indigestion. I had been troubled with a weak stomach from the time I was girl and often suffered agonies from gas on my stomach, and twice I had terrible attacks of acute indiges- ton that nearly killed me. For weeks everything I would eat hurt me and even water would burn me like fire Then l had an attack of the grip fre n which l recovered so slowly that asked my doctor about trying Tanlac. He Said, Yes. try it; for it cant do you any harm
 T had no appetite at all and was eat ing scarcely anything, but after taking two bottles of Tanlac my appetite picked up and I continued to improve right along, eating most anything ! wanted without any inconvenience aft erwards. l have never had the trouble with my stomach like I did before talk ing Tanlac. and it certainly had helped me wonderfully and i can't help be- lieving it is a great medicine"

| the attention of those who are dele~ gates to that conference would be called
 to the recent address by George w Per
 lSins before the National Civic fedora
 tion. Mr.s Perkins theme was The ! Workers Fair Share" and it was evil
 dent to those who heard the address or
 who have since read it that he regards
 as of the utmost importance the ability i of the worker to obtain fair share in the results of the production of any com
 modity in which the worker had part.
 MIR. PERKINS ADDRESS
 Twelve years ago Mir. Perkins spoke
 before the National Civic federation his
 theme similar to the one which was the
 basis of his address in September of this year Twelve years experience in en- ] abling the wage earner to obtain his | fair shape. has convinced Nr Perkins | that this method more than any other is likely if adopted and thoroughly well car ried out. to promote thorough and ef- hcieut cooperation between employer l and employees. He speaks of this relation
 as the kind of proft-sharins experi-
 ments in the United States and Europe. Some of these Mir. Perkins has had on l portunity to investigate, and he is sat | isfied that they were failures because
 methods did not increase the efficiency of the men in such manner as to satisfy
 the employer, or else did not distribute ! the profits so as to benefit and satisfy | the employees.
 l The labor conference of this week vii have opportunity to hear Mir. Perkins 1 plan and discuss the general principal l which is contained in it. It is compara- 1 lively simple. It is based first of all or l the fact that every business must earn operating expenses, depreciation and fair
 return on honest capitalization. Any profits over and above such sums should 1 on some percentage basis be divided be- l tween the capital used in the business
 and the employees engaged in the busi- ness. But 1t is necessary that these
 profits be not immediately withdrawn 1 from the business. In the case of cap
 ital the profits should be carried to sur | plus; in the case of employees their share should be distributed to them in some | form of security that represents an in- terest in the business and every em- ploye should hold such security for a
 reasonable length of time. MT. Per kins is confident that if this method be adopted as it has been by the United
 States Steel corporation, where some TO- 1 900 pf the employees are now part owners,
 having earned enough to buy stock in
 the corporation. it will go long ways to putting an end to the friction between
 labor and capital.
 the case with the Colorado employees of
 John D. Rockefeller. Jr s corporation,
 even the Perkins plan which has been so 1 successful in the United States Steel 1 corporation, may not have been suffi- cient to prevent the outbreak of serious difference between the employer and the employe of the corporation.

Rockefeller Plan
 And Its Results
BY HOLLAND

l New York, October Especial )-One
 of the first reports to reach New York
 on the morning of the day when the
 strike of the iron and steel workers be-
 gan came from Colorado. It asserted | that many of the employees in the In-
 dustry of which John D. Rockefeller. Jr..
 is the head had joined in the strike. The
 wonder was whether this report could 1 be accurate. There seemed to be no doubt that the industrial plan which
 was worked out by Mir. Rockefeller.
 many of whose features were adopted by the employees of the Colorado company.
 was serving to bring about excellent CO., operation between those who labor with their hands and receive wages therefore and those who work with their brains and who invest their money into fbe ployers
 MT. Rockefeller asserted at the con gress of American industries which was held at Atlantic City in December of last year, that labor and capital are partners. and in fact from one point Of view are the same. All are interested in production. The full measure of pros perity cannot be obtained by labor at the expense of capital nor by capital at the expense of labor. There must be asso- citation. and cooperation.
 Mir. Rockefeller furthermore stated that the best means of bringing about indus trial harmony and prosperity is ade quate representation of all the parties that are in interest. and that the ma. renders the greatest social service who so co-operater in the organization of in dustry as to afford the largest number of men the greatest opportunity fo, self development and the enjoyment hy every man Of those benefits which his own work aids in securing.
 THE ROCKEFELLER PLAN
 Representation in the industry bv Iahor CO., operation and a fair share of the sur- plus earnings were regarded when nut into effect in Colorado as, ending the dav of friction and ushering in the day of cordial CO., operation. It seemed for a year or two as though MT. Rockefeller had gone far toward the solution of this problem. But with the first stroke of the bell which called for the nation-wide strike of the steel and iron workers inc Colorado employees, or many of them seemed to have responded. If the re- | pOFIS are tiuc, tHcH II was regarded as | certain that the Rockefeller plan was | to be of no avail
 The Standard Oil company of New Jer- sey nearly two years ago put into ef- l feet a plan which involved representa- Fl tion of labor in joint committee of the | wage-earners and the wage payers. There ! were other features of the plan which ] in almost ali the details was worked ou} | by President Walter Clarke Teagle. So | far it seems to have been a success. and | yet should there be a strain come in tbe ail industry similar to the one which is
