To return to the League Of Nations :
Several important things were ac-
complished last week by the assem-
bly,. First Of these was the adoption
Of a statute for permanent interna-
tional court of justice. The plan now
goes TO the member states for ratifi-
cation. II II is approved by %. or a
majority, before the next meeting Of
the assembly. the judges will be
chosen and the court will come into
existence in September. 1921. In the
debate on the project there was
hot contest between Europe on one
side and Latin-America on the other
over the question whether the juris-
diction Of the court should be obliga-
tory or voluntary. Europe won out,
and the statute as adopted does not
make obligatory the appearance Of
both parties to dispute, and pro-
vldes no penalty for noncompliance
pean delegates defended the scheme
as the best beginning that can be
made. but the Latin-Americans were
very skeptical as to the value Of op-
tional Jurisdiction.
Austria, first of the former enemy
states to be admitted to the league.
was voted in Wednesday without op-
position. four members refraining from
voting. Next day Bulgaria was admit
ted. France and Australia not voting.
The action on Austria brought on
lively passage between Motta of
Switzerland and Viviani of France.
The former took occasion to say that
his country had always regretted the
rejection of Germany's application for
admission. whereupon Viviani leaped
to the tribune and in a fiery speech
defended the French position in op-
posing Germany's admission. Most OF
the assembly was with him and he
was enthusiastically applauded. Lux
emburg, Finland and Costa Rica also
were admitted to the league.
Spain. Brazil. Belgium and China
were chosen as the four elective men,
bers of the council. China takes the
place of Greece, and her victory was
said to be due mainly to the personal
strength and popularity Of Dr. Wei
lington KOo among the delegates.
Armenia, together with Georgia and
the Baltic states. was refused admis-
sion to the league, but resolution

Much of the difficulty experienced
BY health authorities in checking the
spread of Influenza lies in the fact
that it spreads with almost Lightning
rapidity. Although state and city
authorities have succeeded in keeping
it under control in some sections, the
disease has gotten entirely beyond
control in others.
It is universally agreed by all we'll
informed persons that the surest pre-
ventive is to get the system into the
best possible physical condition, in
order to be able to throw off the in.
lection. It has been stated that it
is possible to perfect the powers OF
human resistance 50 that it can
throw off almost any infection, not
excepting Spanish Influenza, which is
generally supposed to be one of the
most contagious diseases known.
Medical authorities agree that peo-
pie who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims of the Influenza
endemic. If you find yourself weak
and losing flesh, or if you are in a
generally rundown condition you
are really in danger if you should
come in contact with the Influenza
germ.

and system builder Tanlac is without
an equal. This is q statement OF TACT,
and is fully supported by recognized
authorities. According to all accept
ed reference works, including the
U. S. Dispensatory, Encyclopedia brl-
tanica, an dthe leading text-books
used in the schools of medicine, the
principal ingredients of Tanlac pos
sess the most powerful re-construc-
tive properties known to science. This
statement is further proven by the
fact that millions Of persons who
have actually taken Tanlac have test1-
fed to its extraordinary powers as a
medicine.
Tanlac restores health and strength
to the weak and rundown system
by enabling every organ Of the body
to perform its proper function in the
way nature intended. It creates a
good, healthy appetite for wholesome,
nourishing food, and is an ideal
strengthening tonic for persons who
are in a rundown condition and who
are suffering from the after-effects Of
hard winter colds, grippe, or bron-

Irrefutable evidence Of the recon-
structive powers of Tanlac is shown
by the fact that it was used by tens
Of thousands during last years cpl

well-known Texas physician stated
that he had never found anything to
equal Tanlac for building up his pa
tents who had had influenza, and
that he had treated over fourteen
hundred cases in one month.
In connection with the Tanlac
Treatment, keep the bowels open by
taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, sam

Ancient Egypt, sharing with ancient
