Steady Progress Is Being Made
Toward Ultimate Goal--Ab-
solute Prohibition
L E S S DRU X N N E S S
Voters Also Make Gains in Elec-
tons; State Control Not Popu-
lar, New Zealand Vote Shows

&C. NJ. Gordon, Special Correspondent
New Zealand las Just taken an
other referendum on the liquor ques-
ton and the Prohibition forces find
themselves defeated by the small
majority of about 5000 votes. There
were three issues - Continuance,
State Control, or Prohibition. The
latest figures arc: Continuance, 240,-
9o3; State Control, 32,128; Prohibit
ton, 270,17S. The vote shows that
the idea of state control is not popu-
lar. 1t is probable that had the issue
been simply Prohibition or continu-
ance, Prohibition would have won.
Our friends in New Zealand look
upon the defeat merely as a post
ponement OF victory and will carry
on until the day OF triumph dawns.

Before | took Tanlac | was sick in
bed for three weeks. My stomach was
in an awful condition, l had no appe-
tite and when l forced myself to eat a
little something gas would form and
bloat me up until | could hardly en-
dure the pain
Il was troubled with constipation
and terrible headaches that nearly set
me wild and l frequently had dizzy
spells Many nights | was so nervous
l scarcely closed my eyes. The fact
is was so completely run down that
hardly see how l lived, for I had
lost weight until 1 was only a shadow
of what used to be and was so weak
| could hardly move
"a friend recommended Tanlac to
me and it certainly was what I needed,
for began to get better right from the
start. have now taken five bottles
and my appetite is just fine, eat any
thing l want and my digestion seems
to be perfect
81 am not troubled with constipation
or headaches any more and | sleep like
a child every night. AS l said, L have
gained fifteen pounds in weight, am
so much stronger that l do all my
Homework and take care of sick sis
ter besides without the least trouble,
I never fail to say a good word for
Tan'ac. for it certainly is a wonderful
medicine"

CRITICISES SOME OF
OLYMPIC ATHLETES
Justice Weeks, Back from Trip
Abroad, Will Report to
Committee.

Justice Barlow S. Weeks of the Su-
preme Court, with Mrs. Weeks. returned
from his trip to the Olympic games as
member of the Olympic American
Committee yesterday on the Baltic.
When told of the criticism of the COM
mittee by members OF the Olympic teams
Justice Weeks said that when the others
of the committee returned they would
get together and statement would be
forthcoming covering the subjct fully.
There are a good many things that
l would like to say" he said, but 1
will wait until the whole committee is
assembled. There were some justifica-
tons for the complaints. but the causes
could not be AVOIDED. If we had not
had the army transports turned over to
us we could not have sent so large
number to the Olympic games. Every
thing that could be done was done.
u regret to say that some members of
the team broke the training regulations
and showed a spirit of characterization
such as was never shown before by any
team going to the Olympic games"
