The Mouse Tower on the Rhine, u
familiar to every youngster since his
cradle days, has now become reality

Children from to 16 years of age
attend the school, all subjects being
taught from the primary grades to the
college preparatory course. In addi-
ton the American boys and girls now
in Coblenz are receiving the benefit
OF special courses in German and
French taught by native teachers.
The pupils not only are acquiring
a full knowledge of folk lore along
with the customary school course, but
they are receiving instruction along
commercial lines that will be benefic-

grape picking time and watched the
entire process of wine making from
the time the grapes left the vine until
they went into bottles.
The school was started by the Y. M.
Z. A. two months ago as the result
OF the presence of many American
children in Coblenz, and the fact that
there was no suitable school for them
to attend. Army cooperation in the
way of suitable building, comfortably
heated and well equipped has enabled
the Y. M. c. A. to carry on regular
classes under four trained teachers.

figures so ruinous as to kill the farm
ing industry. But there is a limit to
all things.
1t is poor policy for any industry
to allow its product to be sold at un-
reasonable figures. 1t discouragcs
the use of the product, it leads peo-
pie to accustom themselves to sub
stitutcs, it tends to increase abnor-
mally the extent Of The product by
leading many new people into the
business and increasing competition.
To a certain extent these abuses cure
themselves. If producers are rapaci-
Gus, they will suffer in later years.
But it takes long time for condi-
tens to adjust themselves. Mean
while the people are suffering from
abuses of speculation. Public senti-
ment today demands strict regula-
ton of boarding. The people who
carry stocks of foods beyond the
point where they can get fair re-
turn, are likely to find themselves out
of business.

Although Huge Laborato-
ries Turn Out 1000 Bot

Dealers Cannot BE Sup
piled.
40 CARLOADS SOLD
IN JANUARY ALONE
After Shipping 1884 Bot
ties of Celebrated Medi-
cine In One Month Fac
tory Is Still 100000 Be-
hind With Orders.

Although the big Tanlac labora-
tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walker
vile, Canada, have been running at
top sped for months, it has been a
physical impossibility to supply the
phenomenal and every increasing de-
mand for this celebrated medicine.
During the first ten weeks of last
year One Million Three Hundred and
twenty-seven thousand bottles of Tan
lac were sold, breaking all Worlds
record for the sale of proprietary
medicines up to that time. This rec
ord now pales into insignifcance,
however, as orders received during
January alone of this yearreached the
astonishing total of One Million Two
Hundred and Twenty Thousand bot
ties, showing an increase of approx
mately one hundred per cent. over
the corresponding period of 1919.
To say that Tanlac now has the
largest sale of any medicine of its
kind in the world expresses it mildly.
1t does not begin to tell the story
for no other preparation has ever even
approached the marvellous record that
is now being made by Tanlac; and it
is now conselvatively estimated that
the sales for the present year alone
will amount to from seven to ten mil
lion bottles.
Of the orders received during jan
uardy it was possible to ship only
eight hundred and thilty-eight thou
sand bottles, and thousands of deal
ers scattered throughout the United
States and Canada have been unable
to obtain the medicine for weeks.
phenomenal and Bewildering" is
the way one of the big drug jobbers
of the country describes the marvel
Gus demand for Tanlac.
1--WE know that the day of miracles
has passed, and we all know that
there are no unfathomable mysteries
in the drug business, but this Tanlac
proposition smacks of both" writes
another leading wholesale druggist,
whose firm has sold over 81 car
loads, or an average of nearly one
car load per month since they began
handling Tanlac few years ago.
Thousands of similar letters and tele-
grams have been received, but for
lack of space they can only be refer
red to briefly.
Most proprietary medicines are sold
by the dozen or by the gross; few
are bought by the trade in quantities
of from ten to twenty gross; a very
few are sold by the car load, and then
only to the largest jobbers, covering
extensive territories. The fact there
fore that scores of jobbers in this
country and Canada have a demand
sufficient TO justify them in ordering
not one carload, but from two to three
car loads of Tanlac aft time makes
Tanlac's pre-eminence in the field OF
medicine all the more note worthy. IT,

WELFARE WORK
TO CONTINUE
Sec. Baker Requests 'Y"to Con.
tinue Service in Rhineland

Boska.-At \the special request OF
Gen. Allen, commanding the Ameri-
can Forces in Germany, Secretary OF
! War Newton d. Baker has instructed
the Y. M. c. A, to continue its well
fare work in the Rhineland, despite
the fact that in home camps activities
! of that kind have been taken over
by the army The Y and the Saliva
ton Army are the only organizations
catering to the 1900 soldiers in and
around Coblenz.
The troops are scattered over a
large part of the area held 'by Gen.
Dickman's Army of Occupation last
summer. The force includes the
units sent over seas to do guard duty
in Silesia The men are comfortably
billeted, have plenty of excellent, well
cooked food and all the entertainment
they want, Miss Virginia Newcomb
chief of the women personnel, said
yesterday on her arrival home after
nearly two years abroad.
Miss Newcomb who was former
ly the executive secretary of womens
war work, Columbia University, re-
turned to New York to take charge
of the womenis departments of the
Institute of International Relations
at Columbia.
The Y recently leased the great
festhalle at COblenZ, she said, after
returning it to the Germans at the
time the peace treaty was signed. In
order to get the building the assoeia
ton agreed to allow the German
Philharmonic society to use the au
ditorium two evenings a week
The galleries are reserved entirely
for the American Army and members
of the Inter allied Rhineland com
mission and their staffs and soldiers
are not allowed on the main floor
during the concerts, Miss Newcomb
said.
Victory hut on the grounds OF the
Eek kaisers palace and one of the
Us largest overseas buildings is now
being salvaged, but Liberty hut near
by, is well equipped as a gymnasium
and is one of the most popular places
in Coblenz. Bowling alleys have been
added to the list of indoor sports dur
ing the winter months.
Owing to the extreme scarcity of
coal, efforts have been made to cen
tralize many of the activities in the
festhalle. A cafeteria has been
opened there and for 90 cents an
American soldier can get a meal OF
soup, meat, two vegetables and a
dessert
Women far outnumber the men

mended to Mrs. +. Louis Slade, head

HOLDING OF FOOD STUFFs

A principal cause of the very high
prices is the holding of food products
on speculation. The results are detri
mental. Perishable supplies like po-
tatoes deteliorate and often rot en-
tirely. The available food supply is
depleted at terrible cost. Often the
Spectator gets no benefit, as the
loss in quality of his product may
make up for the extra price on the
portion of it that remains salable.
Under our laws, man has the
right to sell his own property when
ever he may see fit But if the prac-
tise of forcing up prices by holding
for an advance is going to keep on
indefinitely, the state will need some
new laws.
Producers of food products are en-
titled to their fair return. Ability to
hold their products until they get a
decent price is their protection, other
wise they would often have to sell at

during recent month the "Y'' was

gave two concerts daily at Liberty

The Crst dolls OF which there IS any

treasures unearhcd from the ruins OF
Babylon. They were small figures in
terra Gotta and ivory, beautifully
carved and must have been fascinating

The little girls of Syria had mechanl-
cal dolls. The dolls the classic chill

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO SUPPLY ENORMOUS
DEMAND FOR TANLAC

is the biggest thing of it's kind in the
world and nothing like it has ever
happened in the drug trade before.
Think of one retail firm selling one
third of million bottles of any one
medicine right over the counter di-
rect to consumers in only two years
time! 1t seems incredible, but such
is the record made by the Owl Drug
Company, through their retail stores
on the Pacific coast.
Think of retail firm in a single
city of 100000 population, selling ap-
proximately lightweight thousand
bottles, an average of over two bot
ties for every family, in only four
years time! Such is the record of
the Jacobs Pharmacy Company, of
Atlanta.
Think of one retail firm giving
single order for an entire car load,
twenty-three thousand and forty bot
ties and agreeing to pay cash for the
goods promptly on arrival. Such an
order has been received from the
Lewis X. Liggett Company, of Winni-
peg, Canada.
Another big Canadian retail firm,
G. Tamblyn, Limited, Toronto, Can
ada, recently gave their order for one
hundred gross, amounting to $10,-
10000.
Orders from retailers for from fifty
to seventy-five gross are not uncom-
mon, and practically all of the leading
retail firms buy Tanlac in from ten
to twenty-five gross lots to supply
their normal demands.
When the magnificent new labora-
tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walker
vile, Canada, with combined floor
space of seventy thousand square feet
and combined capacity of thirty-six
thousand bottles were completed, it
was thought that the production
would be sufficient to supply the de-
mand for years to come. 1t is now
apparent, however, that additional ia
clitics must be provided if the supply
is to keep pace with the demand. And
this is true in spite of the fact that
there are now on the market from
fifty to one hundred preparations
claiming similar therapeutic value.
Tanlac has now been on the market
for five years. 1t has stood the acid
test of time. 1t is known and hon
ored in every city, town, village, and
hamlet on the American Continent
from Key West, Florida, to the North
ern wilds of Canada, where even the
Indians and Fur Traders have learn
ed of it's wonderful powers as medi-
cine.
It's enormous and ever-increasing
popularity is the one great outstand-
ing proof of its wonderful merit. No
medicine, no matter how extensively
advertised could sell and continue to
sell and establish new worlds records
year after year, if it did not produce
actual and positive results.
Tanlac is composed of the most
beneficial roots and herbs known to
the scientific world. The formula
conforms with all National and State
Pure Food and Health Laws of both
the United States and Canada, and
although Tanlacs claims for superior
ity are abundantly supported by lead
ing authorities, it is the people them
selves who have made Tanlac what it
is. Millions upon millions have used
it and have told other millions what it
has done for them.
That is why Tanlac has become the
real sensation of the drug trade all
over America.
TANLAC is sold in Landry's Drug
Store, Railroad street, st. Johnsbury,
Vermont. adv.
