TOWN WHERE FOLKS
DON'T READ PAPERS

MADRID. Jan. 26.-IN almost any
other OF the world cities tt would be
considered a calamity TO be without
newspapers. Madrid has just passed
through such an experience in a period
OF political crisis and during a lockout
IN Barcelona, the chief industrial city
Of Spain
Absence Of newspapers passed almost
unnoticed, because the people Of Mad
rid are not a newspaper reading public.
Compared with other western cities OF
Europe, the circulation OF the HeWspa-
pers here Is very small Many small
town newspaper proprietor In America
would consider himself very badly treat
ed II his circulation books did not make
a better showing than those Of the met
ropolitan dailies of Madrid
The A b c, a well printed paper with
good local and foreign service, and wei
printed pictures, has a circulation in the
whole OF Spain of about 100000 copies,
and the pictures account for its compar-
atively large circulation. Other news
papers well known abroad by name. as
they are frequently quoted on foreign
and domestic affairs, are satisfied with
NCirculations Of from $4,000 to $4,000
b The advertising columns, too, make a
poor showing compared with newspa d.
pers of other large cities. An income OF
Sc 900 a month is considered good. The
papers are sold at either or III cen
timoS, out the government gives Ile
papers bonus of another cenumos for
each paper sold, owing to the Increased
cost OF production.
The shutting down OF the newspapers
was due to a strike of the newspaper
workers. Editors who received 500 pc
setas a month asked for an increase OF
20 to 80 per cent. Reporters drawing 81
to $50 pesetas demanded minimum oil
960N pesetas. Compositors asked for a
20 to 80 per cent increase in their av-
erage wage Of 7 pesetas day. The re-

According to late press reports is

much alarm is now felt that it may
become general over the entire

The disease has made its greatest

Reports from other sections are
also alarming, and the disease is
gaining Roadway in some sections
of Texas, Virginia, the Middle West
and on the Pacific Coast. 1t has
also appeared in other communities
although it has not as yet reached
the epidemic stage.
Owing to the lateness of the sea-

the disease can become the great

last year, when it swept the entire
country and claimed it's victims by
the hundreds of thousands. The

HEALTH AUTHORITIES
WARN THE PUBLIC TO. ]
BEWARE OF EPIDEMIC

enza. If you find yourself tired
land nervous), weak, and losing
flesh, or il you are in generally
rundown condition or catch coM
easily, this warning should be heed
ed promptly. You are really in
danger if exposed to the disease, be-
cause it is generally believed to be
very contagious, and you are apt to
fall an easy victim if you come in
contact with the germs.
People who are we'll and strong
are not likely, to contract the dta-
ease because they are able to throw
it off. The common-sense way to
keep from taking 1t is to fortify the
system against attack by building
up the constitution, in other words,
begin Immediately to build up your
powers of resistance.
To accomplish this 1t has been
demonstrated that nothing on earth
will strengthen you and build you
up like Tanlac, the powerful re-
constructive tonic which contains
the very elements needed to build
up the system and give you fighting
strength to ward off the Influenza
germ.
First of all, Tanlac begins its
work by creating good, healthy
appetite for wholesome, nourishing
food, and assists every organ of the
body to perform its natural func-
ton, thus helping to build up health
and strength in the natural way.
Tanlac is also an ideal strength
ening tonic for persons who are
suffering from the after-effects OF
Influenza, Grippe and bronchial
troubles, and hundreds of thou
sands are using it daily with the
most gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples of which
are inclosed with every bottle Of
Tanlac. 1t is also important that
the everyday rules Of hygiene be
observed, that is, sleep in well-venti-
lated rooms, get plenty Of fresh air
and exercise, and keep away from
crowds.
Tanlac is sold in Memphis by
Weiss Pharmacy and Warnock
Drug Co.

BELIEVES MIDDLE
CLASS FACES RUIN

LONDON. Jan Sir II. Rider
Haggard;" the author. believes the mid
die classes Of England are on the
road to ruin" This opinion he eN-
pressed in a letter to the. general sec
rotary Of the Middle Glasses union, re-
GREETING that other work prevented him
from assuming the presidency OF a
branch Of the union.
II sympathize fully with your move
ment," he wrote The middle classes,
by which take to mean all beneath the
rank Of peers who do not actually earn
their living by the work Of their hands,
are, without a doubt on the road TO
ruin. Owing principally, or at any rate
very largely to the incredible expense
OF rearing and educating children, their
blrthrate is decreasing in most alarm
ing fashion, and probably is now eX-
ceeded by their deathrate.'
He declared that against these classes
the pTofiteer is given free hand, ana
that under pretense of nebulouS
antidumping bill, they are now threat
ened with the loss of the blessings of
free trade, which alone enables many
With fixed or dwindling incomes to live
at all" He said that only combination
to protect themselves and their inter
ests could save them.
IF the middle classes remain disu-
nited and in consequence are bullied
and Numbered to death. as happened to
the Curiales before the fall of the Ro-
man empire, ] am sure that with them
will disappear the wealth and the an
cient greatness of our country" he
