GOV. CLEMENT HOPES
RHODE ISLAND WINS
Declares Prohibition Amendment Was
Secured By "AS Corrupt Methods
as Have Ever Been Used in
Legislation in the United
States

Providence, r. l., Feb. lS.-Governor
Clement of Vermont, in reply to tele-
gram from Governor Milliken OF Maine,
requesting the governors of states
which ratified the prohibition amend
ment to join in the fight to uphold the
constitutionaity of the 18th amend
ment, says he hopes Rhode Island will
be successful in her fight now before
the United States supreme court. His
letter is as follows:
II was absent from my office yester-
day and have just received this morn
ing your telegram of Feb. TO- which
accounts for my delay in replying to
your message.
"Snce 1902 Vermont has voted
against prohibition whenever the ques
ton has been before the people of the
state The Anti Saloon league secured
a majority of the legislature in 1919
for the 18th amendment to the federal
constitution, but | do not feel warrant
ed in placing Vermont in opposition to
the action of Rhode Island. On the
other hand, | hope that Rhode Island
will be successful in her efforts to free
the United States from the operation
of the 18th amendment, which is, | be-
heve, opposed by a large majority of

Henryetta, Okla, Feb. 14.-Jackson
Barnett, full-blooded Creek Indian,
ward of the United States, millionaire

petent," has given one million dollars
for the erection and maintenance of
a hospital here.
The total gifts to charity made by
Barnett run over the $500. 900 mark.

of his life. He is 60.
Six years ago oil was found on the
Indians land allotment. He being
adjudged mentally incompetent. the
government has supervised all ex-

Fe in Topeka.

Archie L. Pavey. of Topeka. former
Santa Fe ticket agent and for six years
identified with the general passenger

90 CARLOADS SOLD
IN JANUARY ALONE
After Shipping 83s, 400 Bot
ties of Celebrated Medi-
cine In One Month, Fac
tory Is Still $4,000 Behind
With Orders.

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 ever increasing de-
mand for this celebrated medicine.
During the first ten weeks of last
year One Million Three Hundred and
Twenty-seven Thousand bottles of
Tanlac were sold, breaking all World s
record for the sale of proprietary
medicines up to that time. This rec
ord 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 bot
ties, showing an increase of approx
mately one hundred per cent. over
the corresponding period of 1919.
To say that Tanlac now has the
largest sale of any medicine of its
llird in the world expresses it mildly.
II does not begin to tell the story
for no other preparation has ever even
approa ched the marvellous record that
is now being made by Tanlac; and il
is now conservatively estimated that
the sales for the present year alone
will amount to from seven to ten mil
lion bottles
OF the orders received during jan
uary it was possible to ship only
eight hundred and thirty eight thou
sand bottles, and thousan dS or deal
ers scattered throughout the United
States and Canada have been unable
to obtain the medicine for weeks.

I'VE know that the day Of miracles
has passed. and we all know that

another leading wholesale druggist,
whose firm has sold over "a car

car load per month, since they began

Most proprietary medicines are sold

BECKETT'S MANAGER KICKS.
Says Fighter Took All the Money and
Gave Business Guide No Pay.

London. Feb. 14.-Barnard Morti-
mer, former manager of Joe Beckett,
British heavyweight champion, has
been denied an injunction in chancery
court preventing Beckett from fight
ing under another management until
the pending breach. of contract suit is
settled. Mortimer claims to have an
other year on contract with the
Britisher.
Mortimer charges that Beckett re-
ceived 1.700 pounds for fighting Eddie
McGoorty, and 5000 pounds for get
ting knocked out by Georges Carpen-
tier and that he took it all instead of
allowing his manager his stipulated
share,
