"For two years before I began taking Tanlac my health was so bad lost two or three hours from work every day. but since taking five bottles of the medicine I am in as fine health as I ever was in my life," said c. H. Melton, construc- ton foreman for the Western Union Tele- graph Company, living at 5336 Tracey ave- nue. Kansas City, Mo.
 q had stomach trouble and nervous in digestion for twenty years,'' he continued "Five years ago got in such bad shape that everything I ate caused me terrible suffering from gas and at times could hardly breathe. had stuffy feeling all tko time and was so constipated had to keep taking 1axatives. My head ached sometimes like it would simply burst and became so weak and run down it looked like I would have to give up work en- tirely
 "A friend of mine had tried Tanlac c and recommended it so highly I decided to take it, too, and, believe me, found it to be a real medicine. In three days time my appetite began to improve and my stomach got better. kept on im- proving rapidly and now I eat anything want, have gained eleven pounds and never have stomach trouble, headache or constipation any more. I never felt letter in my life and it is real pleasure to recommend Tanlac."

No Strikes Here

If there are now any ''doubting Thomasas' in these enlightened days who do not believe that industrial democ- racy is a plan that works, let him read in the current issues of Forbes Maga- zine (N Y) E. P. Curtis story of the harmonious conditions at the plant of the Windsor Print Works at North Adams, Mass. The Windsor Print Works have operated on the Leitc hplan of in dustrial democracy for almost year. plant and despite the fact that there are many nationalities represented, everywhere in the factory English is spoken to the exclusion of foreign lam guages. Last winter, when every factory was worried over the shortage of coal, the employees of the Windsor Plant saved 25 per cent of the coal bill Not only this, where hundreds of dollars have been lost every year through dam age to goods because of carelessness of the wrker, the loss is now triflng, and furthermore, many suggestions come from the workers for further saving and improvement. The standard of wages, equal to that in any similar company, has been maintained, and economy dividends have in no way affected the wage scale. Industrial democracy has proved satisfactory, not only to the workers, but it has proved to the man agement of the Windsor Print Works that to date there has been nothing de- vised that makes and keeps harmonious conditions among factory workers as the plan of industrial democracy.

BUSINESS IS NOW
 PASSING THROUGH 1 A REIMBURSEMENT
Indications Are That Transi- tiOn Period Will Not Last Long, Says the Federal
 Reserve Board
By Associated Press


 Washington, June 3O.-Business is pass in many instances, of depression, the fed eral reserve board declared tonight in its June review of general business and financial conditions of the country.
 There is, however, every indication that this transition period will not last long-indeed, that the turn toward new conditions has already been taken,'' de- clared the boards summary of reports of it's agents, who. taking the country as whole, found considerable variation in business conditions.
 Reduction in retail prices begun in May, became universal during June, it was said in explanation of the continued large volume of retail trade. The price, cutting movement, the board said, had heen aided by the refusal of the public to pay high prices, although the tendency of wholesale prices to maintain current levels was declared to have been coun- teracting influence. Except for clothing and shoes, all essential commodities, in- Cluding foodstuffs, show little indication of reduction, but luxuries and non-essen- tials in many lines have been distinctly cut"
 Quite generally there Is tendency to settle down to readjustment basis and to proceed with business on new level of prices and demand" the board as- serted. Control of credit and discrimi- nation between non-essential and specu- lative borrowing are producing some re- suits, although these are reported as de- veloping themselves slowly and gradually. The present price situation is unsettled and is being closely watched. While some rrice-reporting agencies show reduc- ton, others show increases"

down, and great congestion of good" was reported to stil lexist. Freffuent com plaints of car shortage were reflected by the agents. reports, some indicating menacing shortage of coal, which, un- less remedied, will "seriously interfere with manufacturing" The reports on manufacturing for the month, however, ranged from extreme optimism to equally extreme pessimism.
 Possibly the most encouraging factor for the month was the improvement of agricultural prospects, all crops, except cotton, showing improvement with the seasonable weather, good distribution or rainfall and replanting of crops.
 Distinct improvement in the money sit- uation was noted during the month, all though it was said that conditions in the financial cetners showed little change. Control of credit, it was said, was assist ed materially by the advanced interest rate on treasury certificates of indebt- edness, and the higher rates of discount at federal reserve banks.
 Industrial operations during the month of May and the early part of June cons tinued to suffer from uncertainty on ac- count of the labor situation, according to the board. Little relief has been ob- tained in connection with the labor sit uation on farms, the board said, which unrest in some of the basic industries, notably transportation, has been main tained.
