 Do to Help Business
By Associated Press

 In his speech, Mir. Fordney. dis cussed hIs partys attitude, what 1t proposed to do to remedy conditions and to help business He dwelt only briefly on details of the rates ana provisions, touching them only incl dentally or in reply to questions, but announced that other speakers would explain specific schedules in the meas ure.
 CrIticising the position of the demo- crats, MT. Fordney said they had ac- cused the republicans of drafting 8 measure which would carry off rather than encourage trade when the cardi- nal policy of his committee had been to build set of schedules which would restore commerce and industry to health. The committees work all ways was actuated, he declared, by the knowledge that business now was in slump and should be given protection which would save it from the inroads of foreign competition.
 Did Best It Could
 Compromises necessarily have been put in the bill, the speaker said, add ing that all such contested points would be put before the House for it's approval or rejection, At any rate. he informed the House, the commit tee did the best job of which 1t was capable and he was willing to stand behind it to the finish.
 The last election influenced the republicans in the House to launch into tariff legislation, according to Mir. Fordney. He said he believed the people knew when they had what they wanted or did not want and that the overwhelming majority last fall was a voice of protest against the Underwood law along with other ob- iections to the democratic administra- ton.
 "The republican party" he added "has taken it for granted that the people spoke out loudly for protec- tfon'

the public was sold just little over
six years ago. Its success was imme-

quick to recognize it as a medicine of
extraordinary merit. Since that time

Twenty Million (2O,OOOOOO) bottles, es-
tablishing a record which has probably
never been equalled in the history Of
the drug trade in America.
Fame Is International.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won when it was first
introduced has been extended to prac-
tically every large city, small town,
village and hamlet in North America.
It's fame has become International in

Cuba, Hawaii, Alaska, Porto Rico and
many European countries are clamor-

From coast to coast and from Great
Lakes to the Gulf, Tanlac is known
