HAPPIEST WOMAN

Mrs. Smith Says 1t Would Be
Ungrateful Not to Tell

~ believe I'm the happiest woman

cause of what Tanlac has done for
me-" said Mrs. Eugene Smith, prom
inent and popular Los Angeles woman
who resides at $50 West Sind St.
Mrs. Smith is an officer of the East
ern Star and other organizations.
For six years I suffered from
complication of troubles that finally
led to general break down. had
awful pains around my heart, which
I was told, were caused by pleurisy.
My kidneys were in such bad condi-
ton l had constant pains in my back
and my neck and shoulders would
get stiff at times and my limbs swelled
so l could hardly walk. I was so
nervous that even the ringing of
the door bell upset me and it seemed
impossible to get good nights sleep:
I tried everything I could hear of to
get relief, even to having all my
teeth treated, but kept getting worse
and became so weak and emaciated
that I weighed only one hundred
pounds. Finally they took me to the
hospital and l stayed there six weeks,
but did not seem to improve in the
least, SO l was brought home and
had just about given up hope when
a friend persuaded me to try. Tanlac.

first few doses and by the time l
had taken four bottles Of Tanlac I
had gained eighteen pounds in weight
and felt as well and strong as ever
did in my life, for every one of my
troubles had left me. =
"The results from Tanlac must be
permanent, for, it has been four
months since I took my last dose and

U.S. DEPT. OF LABOR
STARTS CAMPAIGN TO
PROHIBIT CHllDLABoR
To Provide Suitable Education
IL Aim; Back to School
Drive to Follow

To abolish child labor not merely
by prohibiting employment, but by
providing suitable education IS the
aim of the Stay-in-School campaigns
now being carried on or just COM
pleted in 20 states in cooperation
with the Children's Bureau of the u.
8. Department of Labor. The cam
paign is to be followed in the fall by
a Back-to-School drive in order to
round up the children who fail to re-
port at the opening OF school, since
the influence of vacation work in
leading to permanent withdrawal
from school has been strikingly
shown.
An encouraging feature Of the
campaign is that of the states TAX
ing part in it are among the 10 in
which more than 20 per cent of all
the children between 10 and Is years
of age are regularly engaged in agri-
cultural work. Rural child labor,
which involves three-fourths OF all
the child workers in the country, Is
the most difficult form of child ex-
ploitation to reach. 1t is subjct to
no legal regulation except through
school attendance laws, and these are,
as a rule, inadequate and poorly en-
forced. In 3 of the states taking
part in the Stay-in-School campaign,
the percentage of illiterates over 10
years of age represents more than
one-fifth Of the total population. The
other states have illiteracy rates
considerably higher than the coun-
try as a whole.
The campaign is being carried on
in accordance with local needs and
resources. Moving pictures and slides
are being utilized in some places to
show the harmful effect of too early
work and the advantages of school,
ing. Posters and leaflets urging chill
dren to make wider. use Of the vo-
cational courses offered in local
schools are being distributed. Lead
ers in vocational guidance and place
ment work are giving talks to seventh
and eighth grade pupils on the ad-
vantages witch school training gives
when the boy or girl enters the work.

 For the first time in a week, how ever, the wind today had shifted to off shore and it was hoped ice breaking tugs could release the small Neff, with its crew of eight, tomor- row. It was believed the shifting ice would permit the Alabama to crush her way to port

They had made their way to the shore but were returning to the Neff, as it was not believed she would be crushed by the ice. The lookout at the four mile crib reported that a careful watch all day yesterday tailed to reveal the men nearing tha ship, which lay within easy range of bis glasses. Rescue parties failed to find tbeir trail in the snow.
 The Alabama left M1sBOegeon, Mich. Saturday morning. She arrived ofs the crib yesterday morning and im- nlediatefy was frozen in. She was said to be in no danger.

Goal More Than Half
 ReaC
10000 Shares in Loan Association Sold This
 Morning. MANY INQUIRIES
 AT HEAD OFFICE

Workers in the Home Building and Loan association campaign who met for luncheon at The Stratfield this noon were carried off their feet with enthusiasm when the announcement, was made that 10000 shares in the association were subscribed this morning.

 Major G. T. Hewlett and Alderman Edward T. Hamilton were the speak" CTS at today's luncheon. They pre- tdicted that the 25,0OO mark would be, passed early in the weeks campaign at the rate shares were coming in this morning, and congratulated the work CTS for the success which has already crowned their efforts.
 The 10 captains and their teams greeted with cheers the announce ment that 10000 shares was the total of the first half days work in the active campaign. The workers had put forth every effort this morning and they knew that they had done good work, but the splendid total of 10000 shares was a surprise to every body.

CITY AUDITOR HAS RECOMMENDED TAX
 RATE OF 268 MILLS
DOES NOT ALLOW FOR INCREASES FOR POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN BUT DOES BELIEVE TEACHERS
 SHOULD GET RAISE

In his annual report to the Board of Apportionment City Auditor Bernard A. Keating this morning recommended 26.8 mills tax rate for the City of Bridgeport for the next year. He estimates the grand total of the grand list at $474,- 5OO,OOO- MT. Heating refused to recommend an increase for either the police or firemen but did recommend 25 per cent for the teachers.
 In the first district MT. Keating es- inmates the grand list at s23s, s,ooo,0oO and the second district at $236, 800. GOO. He asks a tax of 14.2 mills in the first and 12.6 mills in the second district, making total rate of 2s.8 mills for the year of 1920-21.
 In opening his report MT. Heating says that the purchase price of tha dollar has so decreased that it is about equal to 50 per cent what 1t was four years ago and in view of this fact he says he cannot see where anyone can protest at a higher tax rate.
 The city's bonded indebtedness is set by him $10,6S1, ,200.91, and he also issues a warning on the bonded in- debtedness. He points out that the city should meet all current expenses from the incoming revenue and bonda should only be used for Improvements which are permanent. It is also pointed out that bonds should not be extended to exceed the life of the pro- ject they are used for.

Paris, Jan. 26-The governing body of the international labor organiza- ton held it's first meeting this morn ing, in conformity with the decision of the labor conference in Washing ton in Noxember, when Jan. 26 was selected as the date of the initial ses- sion of this body, created by the Washington conference.
 The board verified the credentials of the various representatives in it's membership accredited to ths gov ernments, the employers and the labor interests, all of whom were present except the Canadian delegates who were delayed enroute, and the Ameri- cans, absent because of the non-ratf- fication of the treaty creating the la bor organization embodied in the pact of Versailles. The delegates at- tending included the German repre- sentatives.
