Although the big Tanlac labora-
tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walker
vile. Canada, have been running at
top speed for months, it has been a
physical impossibility to supply the
phenomenal and every increasing de-
1nand for this celebrated medicine.
+: During the first ten weeks of last
wear One Million Three Hundred and
twenty-seven thousand bottles of Tan
lac were sold breaking all worlds
record for the sale of proprietary
medicines up to. that time. This
record now pales into insignificance,
however. as orders received during
January alone of this year reached
the astonishing total Of One Million
Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand
bottles, showing an increase of APP
proximately one hundred per cent
over the corresponding period of
1919.
To say that Tanlac now has the
largest sale Of any medicine of its
kind in the world expresses it mildly.
1t does not begin to tell the story
for no other preparation has ever
even approached the marvellous record
that is now being made by Tanlac !;
and it is now conservatively estimated
that the sales for the present year
alone will amount to from seven to
ten million bottles.
OF the orders received during JAN
uary it was possible to ship only
eight hundred and thirty-eight thou
sand bottles, and thousands of deal
ers scattered throughout the United
States and Canada have been unable
to obtain the medicine for weeks:
phenomenal and Bewildering" is
the way one of the big drug jobbers
of the country describes the marvel
GUS demand for Tanlac.
/ ave know that the day Of miracles
has passed, and we all know that
there are no unfathomable mysteries
in the drug business, but this Tanlac
proposition smacks of both, wires
another leading wholesale druggist,
whose firm has sold over "a car loads,
or an average of nearly one car load
per month since they began handling
:. Tanlac few years. ago. Thousands
of similar letters and kilograms have
been received, but for lack of space
they can only be referred to briefly:
H. Most proprietary medicines are sold
by the dozen or by the gross; a few
are bought by the trade in quantities
of from ten to twenty gross; very
few are sold by the car load, and then
only to the largest jobbers, covering
extensive territories. The fact there.
fore that scores of jobbers in this
country and Canada have a demand
=, sufficient to justify them in ordering
not one carload, but from two tt
three car loads of Tanlac at a time
makes Tanlac's pre-eminence in thu
field of medicine all the more note
worthy. It is the biggest thing o:
it's kind in the world and nothing lik'
it has ever happened in the drug
trade before.

San Francisco Hills.

il On the steepest side streets of Snn
Francisco strips of wood or indenta-
tions are placed In the sidewalks to
help the casual climber. An east.
erner, sojournipg in such neighbor-
hood for his first winter, may often
forget for the instant where he is and
say to himself that these will indeed
be grateful to the feet when the Snow
and ice come. Straightway, then, he
realizes that the snow and ice never
come; so the only slipperiness IS that
of the rainy days, together with that
due to the decliyity itself, so sharp
that neither horse nor automobile
could find footing on the grass
grown cobblestones. One or two Of
the sidewalks deserve, indeed. to be
considered among the famous STAIR
ways Of the world, with actual steps
cut in cement, as many as 200 or more
to single series.

TOM MIX'S NEW PLAY
A GENUINE "CORkER'

In his newest William Fox produc-
ton, The Terror" presented for the
first time at the Warfield Theatre
Saturday, Tom Mix works another
winner. Not only does the star hold
his audience spellbound and make it
gasp ina mazement at his new stunts,
but he has a photoplay that is a genu-
inc "corker."
"The Terror" is a story of the rush
for gold in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, and the picture, without ques-
ton, is the most thrilling Mix has done
this season. He is seen as Bat Car
son, deputy United States marshal
who goes to the town of Sonora to in
vestigate mysterious leakages of gold
while on its way from mine to town.
Carson puns down the. thrieves, one
of whom is the sheriff of Sonora and
the other the owner of the dance hall.
He also wins beautiful bride as re-
word The manner in which the in
trepid Carson traps the ethieves in the
mountains when they attempt to hold
up a gold shipment furnishes one of
the biggest thrills of the picture. Any
one who loves the great Western out
door life should not miss seeing 1.-THE

MARINE & FIELD CLUB
CAT BOAT RACE

Last Saturday afternoon the Marine
& Field Club staged their second cat
boat race. The hour of the start has
been set forward to 2 O'Clock and IS
proving to be a popular change as
about this time the best breeze is to
be had.
r. II. Purdy showed that his long
experience with sail boats is a power
fll asset against the other racers and
consequently ran away from them at
the very start. Mumme, last years
cup winner, followed Purdy at about
serenty-fye yards to the end OF the
first leg at Beacon "B" with Blair and
Walker closely following.
Everything went well till the boats
arrived at the turn and then things
began to happen. Purdy managed to
turn alright, going about, for it was a
pretty stiff breeze in which to jibe,
and he had fair crew, his daughter
helping to sail the boat. Just about
the time Mumme was within twenty
five yards of the turn, the wind
suddenly shifted, causing him and also
Blair, who was close up, to tack in |
order to get around. Walker, who !
had been far enough in the rear to |
take advantage of the leaders loss by
cutting close into the wind, managed
the turn without lacking, ana took
second place on the home stretch.
However, Mumme soon overlook him.
The boats positions then remained
unchanged.
These races are becoming more pop
ular every week. The Marine and
Field Club is planning to hold regat-
ia the early part of July, as there are
any number Of small fishing smacks
and power boats along the river that
would be wiling to participate for the
cash prizes offered by the club.
Swimming, diving and rowing con-
gatta.
tests are also scheduled in this re.

Committee on New Methodist Hoe
pitaI Announces Facts in Regard
to Proposed Project For
Methodist Church.

That the proposed new Methodist
Hos pital to be built in Hattiesburg
will be of untold benefit to suffering
humanity and that ample provision
will be made for all charity cases in
the Mississippi Methodist Conference
Is assured by the announcement OF
the committee having the project in
charge. The announcement given out
Is as follows:
"Now that the campaign for the
fund of 100000 has been regularly
launched, an intensive drive for same
will be made throughout Mississippi
during the week of May 80 to June ..
Here are some facts as TO the Hospital
to be built at Hattiesburg and main
tanned by the Mississippi Conference
Of the Methodist Church, South:
THE Hospital is to be of fire-proof
construction throughout, with abso.
lutely modern equipment. There are
to be four wards of six or seven beds
each, divided as follows:
"A male surgical, male medical, fe-
male surgical and female medical
ward 1t is obvious that adequate
space will be offered in these wards
| for children. The ward system has
proven most suitable for this line Of
work on account of the ability Of
single nurse to care for more patients.
The beds in these wards are to be free
to absolutely worthy cases Of charity
only.
at being the Intention of the Com
mission to erect one hundred bed
Hospital, this will give at the outset
twenty-five per cent Of its bed space
for benevolent work
Charges Are Graduated
at is proposed that the remaining
bed space be in rooms of one and two
beds each, and that the charge for
these private and semiprivate rooms
be graduated from a small fee to regu.
lation fees, so that if a patient be I'M
able to pay small amount, and does
not desire strictly charity treatment
he may pay that small per diem and
thus help in his own maintenance The
higher priced rooms are to be charged
for accordingly, as in every other in
stitution of its kind. None will be de-
MED no matter what his rank and sta
ton, and while the Mississippi confer
ence proposed to foster and nurture
this institution, there will be no Sec
tartan lines drawn.
1T Is also proposed that there he
adequate out-clinic departments for
the poor, not requiring admission into
the Hospital.
1T is the purpose of the Hospital |
Commission Of the Mississippi Confer
ence that the facilities of the Hospital !
be opened equally to all reputable
physicians and nurses. 1t is to have
two or more, probably three operating
rooms, together with adequate ad
mission examining rooms, and treat
ment or dressing rooms,
An efficient house surgeon will be
on duty at all times, and under him
competent corps Of interns, thus Sc.
curing immediate service in any emer.
gency.
THE Hospital will conduct a train.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
PUBLISHERS GIVEN
r.. VERDICT IN SUIT

BOSTON, Mass, March 5.-The suit
brought to determine the control OF
the various Christian Science publica-
lions has been decided in favor OF the
Christian Science Publication society
SIS against the contention Of the board
OF directors Of the mother church. The
findings in the case were made by a
master in chancery to the supreme
judicial court.
While the full report is not yet made
public and the board of directors asked
in vain to have it kept secret for a
time, it is understood upon reliable
authority that 1t covers these points:
That the Christian Science board OF
directors nave never been legally and
formally elected by their church
body.
That the bylaws OF the church
(what is known as the manual among
the church members). have not been
wholly and completely adopted.
That the board of directors has no
arbitrary right of supervision over
the whole Christian Science movement
and that the effort to remove from Of
ice Lamont Rowlands. one Of the trus-
tees of the Christian Science Publish
ing society. was made in bad faith and
is Of no effect.
That the attempt to remove John
V Dittemore also was made in bad
faith, and that consequently he still Is
and must remain member of the
board of directors.
That Mrs. Annie NJ. Knott, improper
iv appointed in his place, is not and
, has never been a director.
The suit is to determine the control
of the various Christian Science pub
Iicatiors which circulate through the
world. These are the Christian Science
! Journal, The Christian Science Senti-
! mel, The Christian Science Monitor
and LIE Herault de Christian Science.
