Worlds Record Is
Broken by Tanlac
Bottles Sold in Four Years
Would Reach From New
York to Denver, Colo.

Today it unquestionably has
the largest sale of any medicine
in the world, and is as we'll
known in Canada as in this
country. In the brief period Of
only four years time this now
famous remedy has leaped from
obscurity 70 the very pinnacle of
success. Its fame, in fact, has
long since spread beyond the
limits of the continent. and
numerous inquiries regarding ii
are now being received from
many foreign countries.
Very few people. however,
fully realize what really won
derful record Tanlac has made.
Indeed, if it were not for the
|unquestionable facts and figures
given out by the largest and
best known drug firms of the
country the story of its success
would be hard to believe.
Up to January first, the total
sales of Tanlac amounted to ap-
proximately twelve million bot,
ties. The demand however is in.
creasing, for during the first ten
weeks Of this year over one mil
lion bottles were sold and dis,
tributed in the United States
and Canada, the exact figure be-
ing 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 II
| GOO bottles Of TanIac will be sole
during every day Of the year, OF
2100 bottles for every hour o.
the average working day.
These figures are too stuper,
deous for the average mind tc
grasp, butone may visualize wha
twelve million bottles mean b.
imagining them laid out in a sin
gle file end to end. Thus lai
they whuId make q track Of Tan
lac from New York through CHI
cago, and on to Denver, Colora,
10; or they would form a double
track Of Tanlac from the Grea
Lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico.
Piled end on end they woul,
tower 1876 times as high as Pixies
Peak, or rise Is, 1888 times higher
than the Woolworth Building in
New York, the tallest building
in the world.
The demand for Tanlac ha.
become so great that its sale in
stead of being measured by the
gross as other preparations have
been. is now reckODed by the
carload. and even by train load.
In proof of this it is a note
worthy fact that the leading
druggist iobbers everywhere
now buy Tanlac almost eXclu-
sively in carload lots. To supply
the Pacific Coast trade alone re.
quires from forty to fifty car
loads per year. Jobbers of thf
Middle West are selling from
seventy to eighty cars per year.
The well known drug firm Of
Hessig- Ellis Drug Company Of
Memphis, Tennessee, has solo
over forty carloads since the in
PRODUCTION of Tanlac in tina
state four years ago,
Within the past ninty days
ten carloads of Tanlac have gont
to supply the demand Of British
Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberti
and Manitoba, Canada. ,
The Owl Drug Company o.
San Francisco, the largest retail
druggists on the. Pacific Coast
state that they have sold NOR
than 10000 bottles at retail
which surpasses the remarkabl
record of the Jacobs Pharmac.
! Company Of Atlanta, who hav
sold approximately $4,000 bottle
at retail.
l Tanlac is composed of tn
most beneficial roots and herb

But to-day an aeroplane. adaptable for

OF science. and soon the flying ex-
piorer should be on most routes leading
to the unknown beyond the regions OF

But aerial exploration IS not to be

of aeroplanes, hangers. landing places
and maintenance of personnel. Explo-

and bases must be erected II is one
thing TO dy over an un5rodden region
and quite another to explore it. Science

pressure. This gives it enormous
strength, renders it impervious to
water and gives perfect alignment.
The fuselage will have two cock
pits. The forward one is even with
the wings, and contains two seats
arranged side by side for the two
pilots. The rear cockpit is behind
the wings, and is provided for the
navigator Of the fight.
A small bunk is built in between
the seats and the pilot off duty can
stretch himself out for G short rap
during the fight.
The wings are braced by struts
attached to the pontoons, which in
turn are rigidly fastened to the
fuselage by other struts. The two
pontoons are spaced fifteen feet
apart and are about half the length
Of the machine, making capsizing
impossible.
The pontoons were attached to
the machine in place Of wheels be-
cause Of the nature of the flight
and also because Of the fact that
landing places along the route are
Of unknown and uncharted char
acter.
The two pontoons are constructed
Of mahogany and cedar veneer
They are divided into several COM
oartmcnts by means Of bulkheads,
30 that in case of a pontoon being
stove in sufficient buoyancy will be
retained. Each pontoon is capable
of supporting the machine on the

pagan Inhabitants, the bold Kafirs and
other strange tribes. IN tho north
east corner Of the country large por-
tions Of Badakshan and Kaffirstan art
entirely unknown.
"The aerial wanderer. inspired with
o true love of adventure, will doubt
less be pleased to know that not all
the Dark Continent is yet an open
book. In fact, it still jealousy guards
some very black spots. Even in British
territory how much is known of the
inner Shilluk districts of the Soudan:
the region between the upper waters
Of the Blue Nile and the limits Of the
Uganda, or the line of the Senussi
GASES from Tripoli, or the Cyrenaica
toward Wadai? What European has
seen, much less trod. hugh areas with
in the desert regions Of Southern
Asia? There are other areas which
nave OeeH crossed always IN haste and
even in fear; also regions visited per-
haps by score of travellers since the
revival of learning, but inhabited by
peop.ss OF whom we have learned much
less than about the polar Esquimau.
THE greatest unseen area lies in
Arabia, almost all the southern half
of which is occupied, according to ma
tive reports, by great wilderness
Known as the Dwelling Of the Void
Th~ee travellers have claimed that they
have gazed on its uttermost fringes

amount of parasite" resistance of
monoplane, as compared to biplane,
it is estimated that 300 horsepower
will be sufficient to drive the White
monoplane at an average speed of
10 miles an hour.
In accordance with this estimate,
the monoplane can be propelled with
the centre 3O0-horsepower motor
alone,~ or with the two 150-horse-
power wing motors. BY means of
this arrangement it is figured that
the possibility Of failure is elm
mated, as sufficient power to send
the n1onoplane forward at normal
speed is always being held in re-
serve.
In addition to this the motors will
be given equal periods Of rest
throughout the long flight. After
running a certain number Of hours,
the centre engine will be shut off,
and the TWO wing motors started up
for an equal number of hours. This
programme will be continued
throughout. 1t will also allow the
pilots to make any minor repairs
necessary during fight, as we'll as
to make periodical inspection.
1t will be quite possible for the
pilots to install new spark plugs,
make carburetor adjustments, at
tend to ignition trouble, OR similar
minor troubles, while in fight.
The construction Of the mono
plane is unique in that it is COM
pletely rigid throughout. The White
truss system is used in the construc-
tion of the wings. Wires are not
used in any part Of the construction
New-York tribune., 1919-08-31
Its Dimensions

The dimensions of the machine
are as follows: Spread of wings,
81 feet; length over all, 80 feet;
height to top of fuselagc, 8 feet :;
weight, empty, $500 pounds; weight
with crew and fuel for transpacific
flight, 1900 pounds.
The monoplane is equipped with
three Hispano Suiza engines. The
centre engine is built into the nose
Of the machine and is Of 300 horse
power. The other two engines are
of $50 horsepower each, and are
fitted to the wings on either side
Of the fuselage.
The motors are SO arranged in a
unique plan always to keep 800
horsepower in reserve throughout
the flight. Owing to the smaller
New-York tribune., 1919-08-31

are indispensable to satisfactory eD-
ploration in remote quarters Of the
earth. Hundreds Of miles of Arabia
which no westerner rad seen have been
flown over By European officers during
the war. Members Of these military
expeditions have discovered most IN
terosting ruins of half-buried cities.
But this work was done from prop
erly equipped depots. Military bases
and aerial post stations may prove the
jumping-otf points for further cxpedi-
tons under state egis. Desert flying
would lead to the linking Up OF the
old caravan routes by tracking Sue
cessive oases; and then, from the
beaten paths, the wastes adjoining
wosld be searched for historic rGins
The facr remains that the aerial

ture in bumper draughts.7

She laughed his foot expeditions out Of

fact, there is little the airman cannot

Atlas Mountains.
From Egypt he has flying ground
Of thousands of square miles in the
