WORLDS RECORD
BROKEN BY TANLAC
Over Four Million Bottles
Sold in 1919-the Fifth
Year of Its History

Tanlac has brought a new romance
to the commercial world. 1t is the
story of an acceptance and apprecia-
ton of merit never before attained
by proprietary medicine. Staid
business men to whom the actual
figures of the production of Tanlac
have been presented have secuted
them until the proof was shown. The
production Of Tanlac nov stands at
the rate of almost four million bot
ties per year. The exact figures are
3,992,S00. The sale of million bot
ties in the first nine months, which
far exceeded any record ever made by
a proprietary medicine. now seems
insignificant.

The sale for the first ten weeks of

year of Tanlac's history, was more

II ticks another thirty minutes
and another person is killed.
And so it goes, hour in and hour
out Of the twenty-four, day in and
day out of the seven, month in and
month out of the twelve-every
thirty minutes someone is killed in
this country through automobile &C
cidents. The grand total is owe 49,
600 deaths a year.
These were facts brought out at a
recent meeting of The National
Safety Council in Atlantic City. 1t is
a bad record. It Is an astonishing
record. And something ought to be
done about 1t, no doubt. With al
most ten million autos in use and the
number growing. the chances are
not that accidents will be fewer.

HEALTH ADVICE

A considerable number of cases
OF diarrhea appeared last month.
In one locality particularly, the suf-
ferlng was great among adults as
well as children, though children as
usual were nos often affected.
Twenty-Five children died of diarrheas
diseases. of which number twenty
n were under one year of age.
A careful survey has been made
to ascertain what food was given to
each of those who died, and several
hundred others who have been i'll.
Many parents are exceedingly care
full of the quality and quantity of
the food taken by their children at
their regular meals. but will supply
them literally with money with
which they buy CONNECTIONS and as
a result many of them eat too much
ice cream, fruit and candy.
1t is not uncommon to see small
children eat raw cucumbers and
potatoes that have neither been
washed nor peeled.
Fruit vendors throw decaying fruit
into containers to be removed with
the garbage. and knowing this the
children OF the poor pick out such
as is not wholly rotten and eat IL,
others procure and eat much unripe
fruit and ii is remarkable that the
number who are seriously i'll is not
larger.
Every mother or ~expectant mother
should obtain detailed Information
from a competent physician or wei
fare nurse concerning the care and
feeding OF her children for it is a
matter that requires careful study
and strict attention to details IL YOU
wish your children to have the best
opportunity to grow into strong

THE TRADE BALANCE.

A few pessimistic souls saw in the
recently published report of Ameri-
can foreign trade something to be
heightened at. But what they saw was
nothing other than a declining to-
ward normal OF the lop-sided trade
balance.
Nothing to be frightened at. Real
", It is something to welcome.
Unless foreign nations can pay
their American debts they travel to
the poorhouse via bankruptcy. They
cannot pay these debts in gold; not
enough gold.
They can pay in goods. things 10
eat. 10 wear, to use In other ways.
This is what they are doing.
Before the war the United States
was paying Europe something like a
half billion dollars a year. This went
over largely in the form OF food, oil.
cotton. 1t paid interest on European
capital invested here. The war re-
arranged that. European capital
drew from American investments;
American capital went to Europe.
Now Europe must pay America half
billion dollars a year as interest
charge. Europe cannot pay in gold;
she must pay in goods
Europe is paying. That is why
imports into the United States In
creased during the fiscal year end
ing June 80; and why exports de-
creased.
II Is true that other continents,
Asia, South America, Australia and
Africa sold more TO America than
they purchased. The trade balance
il In their favor. This is partly ac-
counted for by the fact that Europe
doesn't make all her payments to
America directly. She sells manu-
featured goods to South America,
and South America sends coffee to
America. and in this roundabout way
Europe pays United states debts
Probably long before Europe gets
her American bills settled the United
States will have evened her trade
with the others.
The billion dollars spent for coffee,
-ubber and leather materials OF
south America. Africa, Australia,
must be balanced by increased ex-
ports from America to those CONT
aents. The trade balance now Is a
billion dollars in their favor.
The thing TO do isn't to worry over
the decreasing trade balance with
Europe. 1t is to think about increas-
ing exports to other continents. par
ticuIarly South America. This can
be aided by the investment Of Ameri-
can capital in the development of
south America, Asia and Africa.

SOME PRICES!

The world is beginning to wake up
to the reckless waste practiced for
"a half a century and more in the
production and use of its natural re-
sources.
Two-thirds of every ton of coal has
gone up into the air or into the
dump.
Enormous volumes of natural gas
have been allowed TO escape to the
limits of an earth atmosphere.
Hundreds of millions of barrels of
petroleum have flowed over the
ground to utter uselessness.
And so all along the line.
Everywhere you hear of steps be-
ing taken to correct the watesfulness.
Thus, IL conservation becomes the
rule hereafter with new discoveries
below the surface, there will be less
and less need OF fear that the world
will go short of coal and gasoline in
the not very distant future.
Canada doesn't propose to be a
squeezed-out orange like some sec
tons of the United States. During
the last five years coal fields and Pc
troleum deposits have been discover
ed in Alberta. her northwest prov
ince, and already she is passing laws
against wasteful handling of these
resources.
One OF Canada's scientific investi-
gators reports that "if the coal meas
ures of Alberta can be carefully con-
served and scientifically utilized, and
all the gas. oil and other b~y-product'
be recovered to the best advantage
the whole world can be supplied with
fuel and oil, and for a thousand
years. from Alberta fields alone"

THE CHAUTAUoUA.

Perth Amboy is going to have her
first experience with the Chautauqua
this year. A number of citizens who,
knowing of the benefits that have
been derived from the Chautauqua
in other places and believing that it
would benefit Perth Amboy also,
have agreed to back the project for
one year, at least. Whether or not
it will be a success depends largely
on the people of this city and vicin-
ity as to the support they give it.
The Chautauqua is both education
al and entertaining. Perhaps, in the
minds of a great many people the
name William Jennings Bryan is
most associated with the Chautau-
qua. He has been a frequent mem

the country delivering addresses un-
der the big tent. 1t has not yet been
announced who will be on the pro-
gram here.
Besides addresses by notable men
there are all forms of entertainment
of an elevating character. Grand
Opera is given, noted bands play and
entertainers that it would be next
to impossible to secure alone, are
among the performers.
The Chautauqua also tends to
build up community spirit. The en-
tire population in some places as

MANLINESS
BY G w. BABsoN.

A great many executives fail be-
cause of their Unborn fear of some
thing or somebody.
The mental coward never becomes
a good executive.
The man who always feels that
somebody is after him not only fails
himself but is a source of evil in
Fiction in the entire organization.
One of the difficulties in Washing
ton seems to be that everybody
seems to be afraid of everybody
else.
The self-protective sense is alb
normally developed, but the or
~ganization of the government is not
alone in this difficulty. The same
is true of many commercial and in
dustrial organizations.
The best executives are those who
forget themselves and who radiate
trust, confidence, and enthusiasm,
These are the motive powers which
make for business success.

BRIDGE OPEN AGAIN.

The state Highway Commission
gave the people of this city, especial
ly the large number Of autoists, a
most agreeable surprise yesterday
when, without any previous an
nouncement, the state highway
bridge across the Raritan river was
opened to vehicular traffic. The latest
word from Trenton was to the effect
that the bridge would probably be
opened by Wednesday Of this week
Saturday at the latest. Probably
there has been so many disappoint-
ments about the opening of the
bridge that the state highway officials
determined this time to play safe and
give the people a surprise instead of
a disappointment
There certainly is a great deal Of
satisfaction in having the bridge In
operation again. 1t is to be hoped
that from now on there will be no
interruption of traffic and that the
work on the new bridge will be push
ed so that it will be ready before the
present structure gives out altogeth-
er. There is reason to believe that
the state officials are aware of the
Importance of this bridge. Every
care should be taken to see that the
public is given the protection it is n
titled to.

HIS PROMISES

IL
God makes promises 20 nations
Where does He record themT
Sometimes they are given over the
Ups of prophets, In the stirring
messages OF statesmen, In the sum
mons from great souls who live
highest up toward God and call
their countrymen to come on. Some
times God writes His promises n
a book and the sacred page Is handed
down as a legacy reciting the viii
of God for the land, and serving
to keep patriotism and hope awe
II wac thus God wrote His promises
to the ancient Jew.
But sometimes the hand of God
uses another pen and page. Some
times He records His promises in
the fertility of the soil, In the kind
illness of climate, in the noble extent
of the national domain, in the stretch
of mighty forests and wide plains,
in the statures of tall mountains, In
the wealth OF rich mines. Sometimes
He speaks in the winds that sweep
the plains, in the rains that change
the desert to a garden, In the voice
of great rivers that from high
ridges to the Sea Sometimes he
speaks His promise In the roar OF
traffic and the hum of industry and
| tine SHOUT OL flSl1k ROWEAs -
thus that God records His promise
to America.
God makes promises TO individuals
as we'll as to nations. Where does
He record them?
They are to be found in the Bioie.
1t is a book of hope. 1t has a con-
quering promise for every hour OF
human need. The Bible was built
for the storm hours of life. Our
plight can never be so desperate
but by turning to these exceeding
great and precious promises of the
old book we shall find a way out.
Thus God writes down the promises
He makes for the common life.
But sometimes. with a man as
with a nation, he uses another pen
and page. Sometimes He records
His promise on personality, on the
vision He gives you of life, in your
longings and aspirations and am
billions, in the special thing He has
fitted you to do best. Sometimes
He records Himself in opportunity,
sometimes in responsibility. He
writes His message on circumstances.
He is talking to you in daily
duties.
