Want Public to Know How Much
Good Tanlac Has Done at
Old Soldiers Home

So many of the old Vets out at
the Soldiers Home in Leavenworth
have been benefited by Tanlac lately
that they decided the fact ought to
be made public.
The call for volunteers to report the
matter was quickly answered by ]. F.
Johnson and c. H. ,Ostrander, each

M. Cain, who is now in his eightieth
year.
Their statements, which were re-

no uncertain terms Of the remarkable
results these old heroes of the "Six-
ties" have, obtained from the Master

Rinehart and Edna Ferber for eX-
ample, but these successes have been
taken from fiction stories.
The crisp green cry OF the
movies if the reader gets. my
meaning, has been heard in our
colleges, and professors are lend
ing an ear. Witness the case of Clay
ton Hamilton Of the Goldwyn B:aff.
New York knew him as professor in
play construction in Columbia Univer-
sity. His studies in the construction
of dramatic plays have made him in
valuable in the Goldwyn scenario de-
partment.

some of the men writers are earning
out here, but I'm afraid because
might unConsciously eXaggerate and
perhaps get them into trouble over
their income tax returns. However,
may say that $500 a week salary
with extra income earned from out
side work is not uncommon. A star
showed me a letter the other day
from a publicity agent who offered to
take over all her publicity work for a
trihe OF $4,000 a year.
Five women are looked upon out
here as the stars OF their sex in the
