Sales for Present Year
Show Increase of Almost
One Hundred Per Cent
Over Last Year.
100000 BOTTLES ARE
SOLD IN SIX YEARS
Celebrated Medicine Has Be-
come Sensation of Drug
Trade All Over America
and Canada; Best People
of Country Indorse 1t.

Although placed on sale some
thing over fiveiyears ago, the de-
mand for the celebrated medicine,
Tanlac, has increased at most
phenomenal rate and announce
ment has just been made by the
manufacturers that the total sales
will reach approximately 10000, 900
bottles by the end of the present
year.
To say that Tanlac now has the
largest sale OF any medicine of its
kind in the world does not begin
to tell the story. for no other prep
aration has ever even approached
the marvellous record that has been
made by Tanlac, and it is now con-
servatively estimated that the sales
by the end of the coming year will
reach the astonishing total of 3d.
100000 bottles.
Tanlac sales last year amounted
to 4,079.948 bottles. establishing a
new world record for the sale of
proprietary medicines UP to that
time. This record now pales into
insignificance, however, as orders
received during the first nine
months of the present year reached
a total of 100000 bottles, show
ing an increase of almost 100 per
cent over the corresponding period
OF last year.

New Labor COMMITTEE
Charged With Continuing
the Effort Will Hold a
Meeting at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The new
labor committee charged with corr
tinuing the effort to organize the
steel industry, plans to hold its
first formal meeting here next
month. Some of the members al
ready here, express the opinion
that the first meeting probably will
be devoted largely to survey of
the developments of the past year
which has passed since the last at
tempt and the LAYING of grounds
to continue the fight at a time
which the leaders may consider
opportune.
The chairman of the reorganized
committee is NJ. f. Tighe, and the
secretary now is William Harmon.
William II. Johnson, president of
the international Association of
Machinists is member. Secretary
Morrison of the American Fedora
ton of Labor is expected to par
ticipate in the coming meeting, as
he is trustee of the $4,000 fund
which remained in the hands of
the old organization committee
when it was dissolved.
The new committee was formed
at meeting last month at which
We're represented the international

FORDNEY TARIFF

Proposed Duty Will Double
the Price of Clothes.

Marshall. secretary of the National
Wool Growers association. today
issued a statement branding as
Every misleading" an assertion at
tributed to Representative Madden
of Illinois to the effect that the
duty proposed on wool in the Ford
ney emergency tariff bill would
double the price of clothing, Mr..
Marshall said:
"a very misleading statement by
Representative Madden of Illinois
has been twice carried in dispatch
es. In the debate on the Fordney
emergency tariff bill Representa-
tive Madden stated that the pro-
posed duty on wool would cause
the price of clothes to double
Claim Is "Ridiculous."
"Such a statement is both ride
ulous and dangerous. If incorrect
ed it would constitute a serious
Misrepresentation of the work and
objects of the ways and means
committee and both houses of
congress-.
"The National Wool Growers as
ISOLATION has repeatedly pointed
out that but little connection
exists between the market
price Of wool and the selling price
of clothes. Three and one quarter
pounds OF secured wool are re-
CURED for an average sized mans
suit made from worsted cloth. The
Fordney bill provides a duty Of As
cents per pound on secured wool.
The duty on the wool entering into
a suit would amount to $1.46,
which is very far from 100 per
cent of the price Of any suit as Mr..
Madden refers to, Also. an i'm
port duty on material does not
necessarily mean that the manu-
facturers' cost will be increased by
the amount of that duty,
Security to Home Production.
producers and selling agents in
the country of origin realize the
need of adjusting their prices to
permit exports to countries levy
ing duties. The proposed measure
would give American woods in Am
erican markets an advantage or 40
cents per secured pound over for
eign woods that until recently sold
around 50 per pound. This would
give needed security to home pro-
duction. The full amount would
go into the treasury and serve to
reduce amounts otherwise collected
in more direct ways. The payment
would actually largely be made by
the foreign exporters. who would
necessarily sell at prices to permit
our manufacturers to use the woods
on which duty has been paid.
mo matter how opinions differ
as to operations of tariffs, it Is
grossly incorrect to suggest that re-
suits would even approach what
Mr.. Madden claims"

TANLAC SALES REACH
TREMENDOUS TOTAL

The enormous and ever-increas-
ing popularity of Tanlac is the one
great outstanding proof of its mer-
1t. The greatest drug firms of the
country have voluntarily come for
ward and stated in plain. cold fig
ures the record-breaking sales ev-
erywhere. No medicine of less than
superlative quality could possibly
attain such a huge sales record nor
gain, as has Tanlac. the unquali-
fled endorsement of thousands of
well-known men and women from
all parts of the country who stand
for the best in their communities.
The greatest test of any medi-
cine is the repeat" sales it en-
joys. Tanlac's phenomenal record
has been possible because of the
fact that the men and women who
buy one bottle invariably return
for the second and recommend it
to others because it has helped
them. Tanlac has been on the
market now little over five years.
1t has stood the acid test of time.
1t is known and honored in every
city, town, village and hamlet on
lHe AMERICAN CONTINENT from Key
West, Florida. to the northern
wilds of Canada, where even the
Indians and furtraders have learn
ed of its wonderful powers as a
medicine.
Tanlac is composed of the most
beneficial roots and herbs known
to the scientific world, The for
mula conforms with all National
and State Pure Food and Health
laws of both the United States and
Canada. Although Tanlac's claims
for superiority are abundantly sup
ported by leading authorities. it is
the people themselves who have
made Tanlac what it is.
Millions upon millions of the best
people of the country have used It
and have told millions of others
what it has done for them. That
is why Tanlac has become the real
sensation of the drug trade all over
America.
Tanlac Is sold in Albuquerque by
the Alvarado Pharmacy and in
Grants by the Bernali.lo Mercantile
company.-Adv.

NATIONAL BODY
To GOVERN RING
TSPR0P0SED
Formation of Such An Or
ganization Will Be Under
taken at a Meeting in New
York January 1912.

New York, Dec. Information
of a national body to govern and
control professional boxing will be
undertaken here next month. Dele
gates appointed by the governors
of eighteen states will convene at
the headquarters of the Interna-
tional Sporting club on January 10,
Ii and u. During the three-day
conference the foundation for a
national organization will be laid
and rules and regulations for the
Standardization of boxing through
out the United States established.
The new association, which will
absorb the army, navy and civilian
board of boxing control of which
it is really a development, will be
formed by carefully selected and
officially appointed delegates from
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Colorado, Wis
cousin, Montana, Minnesota, Ore
gon, West Virginia Louisiana,
Washington, Florida, Tennessee,
and Oklahoma.
This group represents almost all
of the states where boxing is le-
galized.
The conference is the culmina-
ton of more than six months OF
and in some cases
personal conferences between the
officials of the international sport
ing club and the governors Of the
States which will delegate repre-
scntatives to the meeting.
To Standardie Rules.
In discussing the project with
the Associated Press, William A.
Gavin. managing director of the
international Sporting club, stated
today that it was the intention of
the delegates to standarize the box
ing rules for each state; to adopt
a Joint agreement to bar any de-
linquent or offending boxer in all
states, if suspended by the nation
al association, and to compei
champions to defend their titles at
reasonable, fixed intervals or Tor
felt the title. 1t is also the IN
tention of those interested to advo-
cate the abolition of the huge
purses which have been recently
offered for boxing matches, as DIS
crediting boxing, and to work Tor
reasonable admission prices at all
matches, as in the case of baseball
football and other sports of ma
tional character. 1t is further pro-
posed to stop the filming of box
ing bouts as harmful to the sport.
The new organization also will CO.
operate with the national boxing
bodies of other nations with the
idea of having an international
code for the governing Of boxing In
order to make the sport clean,
wholesome, humane and to eie-
waite it to the plane enjoyed by
other sports and pastimes
