Valuable Reminders.
It is important that the public SHOULD
recognize that a positive sputum an
alysis is only confirmatory, and that
when the bacillus can be detected ths
disease is already of some duration
A great step in the fight on tuber
cuIosis will have been taken wher
we cease to rely upon the sputum an
alysis, but begin to make the chess
and clinical examinations-tha is. de
termine the presence of the disease
long before the bacillus can be de
tected and at a time when a cure
may be looked upon as practical Ger
tainty. This is not to say that the
disease can not be cured after the
bacillus appears, bat the chances fol-
recovery are MANIFOLD greater if the
discovery is made in the very early
stages.

40 CARLOADS SOLD
IN JANUARY ALONE
After Shipping S38,40O Bottles
of Celebrated Medicine In One
Month Factory Is Still $50, 900
Behind With Orders.

Although the big Tanlac labora-
tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walkers
vile, Canada, have been running at
top speed for months, it has been a
physical impossibility to supply the
phenomenal and ever 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
Tanlac were sold, breaking all world 8
record for the sale of proprietary
medicines up to that time. This re-
cord now pales into insignificance,
however, as orders received during
January alone of this year reached 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 even
approached the marvellous record that
is now being made by Tanlac; and it
is now conservatively estimated that
the sales for the present year alone
will amount to from seven to ten
million bett'As.
Of the orders received during Jan
uary it was possible to ship ONLY
eight hundred and thirty-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.
"Phenominal and Bewildering," is
the way one of the big drug jobbers
of the country describes the marvel
GUS demand for Tanlac.
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 carloads,
or an average of one carload per
month since they began handling Tan
lac a few years ago. Thousand of
similar letters and kilograms have
been received, but for lack of space
they can only be referred to briefly.
Most proprietary medicines are
sold by the dozen or by the gross; a
few are bought by the trade in guam
titles OF from ten to twenty gross
very few are sold by the carload and
then only to the largest jobbers, COW
ering extensive territories. The fact
therefore that scores of jobbers in
this country and Canada have de-
mand sufficient to justify them in or
dering not one carload, but from two
to three carloads of Tanlac at time
makes Tanlac pre-eminent in the field
of medicine all the more noteworthy
1t is the biggest thing of its kind
in the world and nothing like it has

time! 1t seems incredible, but such
is the record made by the Owl Drug
Company, through their retail stores
on the Pacific coast.
mink OF one 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 timel Such is the record of
the Jacobs Pharmacy Company, of
Atlanta.
Think of one retail firm giving a
single order for an entire carload,
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 K. 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
$10,800.00.
| Orders from retailers for from fif-
ty to seventy-five gross are not I'M
common, 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 thir-
! ty-slx thousand bottles were complet-
ed, it was thought that the produc-
ton would be sufficient to supply the
demand for years to come. 1t is now
apparent, however, that additional
facilities must be provided if the sup
| ply 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 prepare
tions claiming similar therapeutic
value.
Tanlac has now been on the mar
ket for five year.. It has stood the
acid test of time. 1t is known and
honored in every city, town, village,
and hamlet on the American CONT
nent from Key West, Florida, to the
northern wilds of Canada, where
even the Indians and Fur Traders
have learned of its wonderful pow
ers as medicine.
Its enormous and ever-increasing
popularity is the one great outstand-
ing proof of its wonderful merit. No
medicine, no matter how extensive
ly advertised, could sell and continue
to sell and establish new worlds rec
ords year after year, if it did not pro-
duce 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 Tanlac's claims for supe-
riority are abundantly supported by
leading authorities, it is the people
themselves who have made Tanlac
what it is. Millions upon millions
have used it and have told other mil
lions 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 by Planters Seed &
Drug Co., and leading druggists
everywhere.-(adv.)

Cooperation in
Tuberculosis Effort

The laboratory of the State BoarU
of Health, as is pretty generally
known, makes analysis of sputum for
patients anywhere in the state. Sam
pies may be sent either by the lndl-
vldual or through the family physician.
Up to the present time in forwarding
reports on an analysis the only state
ment that has been made is that the
sample examined was either positive
or negative. Now, however, at the
suggestion of Mr.. Sellers, Director OF
the Laboratory, little folder has
been prepared by the Division OF
tuberculosis to be inclosed with the
report on positive cases, giving some
suggestions as to the right course to
be pursued by the patient.
These suggestions are of sufficient
value to be quoted here:
WHAT TO DO.
"The enclosed report shows that the
germs of tuberculosis have been found

that you have consumption. 1t does

NEW YORK.-"Within five or ten
years we shall cross the ocean in
less than a day as safely in great
airplanes as we do now in liners,

dictton of Anthony H. G. Fokker, in
ventor and manufacturer of the
plane by that name which gave
Germany the air supremacy during
the early part of the war.
Fokker (shown here) and wife
have arrived in New York on a
business trip. He explains he is a
Dutchman and not a German. 81

says Fokker. 81 had to do bust
ness somewhere and I found a Gus

Fokker says he offered his planes
to England and America in 1912,
but both countries turned them
down. 49,
He believes two things are neces7
sary to make airplanes as common
as autos-first, sufficient flying
fields, and second, machines which

planes must be made simpler,
stronger and cheaper to become
commercially profitable.

A. The ancient Hebrew text. in
which much Of the Old Testament
was written did not contain vowels.
1t will be noticed that some modern
systems of shorthand are also writ
ten without VoWels, these signs be-
ing understood by students. How
ever, much confusion, owing to the
different interpretations, resulted

A. A satisfactory and economical
way to make apple sauce is to wash
the apples, cut in pieces and remove
the cores, but not the skins. Pour
water in, the vessel until it can be

fruit. Cook until tender, put through
fruit press or colander and sweeten

8. @. How is papier mache made?
A. PAPER mache is made of paper
pulp, or paper reduced to pulp, and
