The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just little over
SIX years ago. Its success was i'm
mediate and people everywhere were
quick to recognize it a medicine of
extraordinary merit. Since that time
there have been sold throughout this
country and Canada something over
twenty million (20,00O,OOO) bottles,
establishing record which has
probably never been equalled in the
history of the drug trade in America
Fame is International.
The instant and phenomenal sue
cess which Tanlac won when it was
first introduced has been extended
to practically every large city, small
town, village and hamlet in North
America. It's fame has become in
ternational in it's scope and England,
Japan, Mexico, Cuba, Hawaii, Alaska,
Porto Rico and many European
countries are clamoring for it.

THE HOME BREW IDIOT

Will R. Holmes of the Brigham
City Journal expresses himself as
follows:
Nearly every paper one picks up
now adays contains accounts of peo-
pie who have brewed themselves a
lot of liquid devilment at home, or
out in a barn, or down cellar, or in
the chicken coop, drank some of it
and then went crazy and were carted
off to the bughouse or else grabbed
up an ak and undertook to depopulate
the neighborhood, landing in Jail via
the hurry-wagon and later on serving
out sentence or paying a fine, or
both. 1t must be great sport, tho we
fail to see where the fun comes in.
This thing of taking a lot Of hops,
yeast, bark, lemon extract, Hostel
ter's bitters, raisins, canned peaches.
barley, rainwater and other ingri-
dents and mixing up a lot of slop
that when it ferments would drive a
rhinoceros into delirium tremens or
eat the paint off the side of house,
and then emptying it inside oneself
as galvanic shock to the whole
nervous system, seems to delight q
whole lot of people, but we cannot
imagine what kind of people they
are. There must be something the
matter with them-something radi-
cally wrong in the upper story. They
have more wheels in their heads
than Waterbury watch, and must
keep what few brains they possess
in fhnir a%c -
fun. the sport, the pleasure, the
profit, or anything else worth while?
Any derned fool can get some wood
alchol and empty lot of red pepper
and prusic acid into it, and commit
suicide, If SO inclined, but whats the
great idea? Why not jump off the
bridge at midnight, as Longfellow
put it, and have done with it? Why
drape the obsequies in red flags and
cory paint?

Warning Against
Frost May Save
Heavy Fruit Loss

j. D. Murphy suggests that people
prepare to protect their fruit when
it is at the delicate stage of the buds
and blossoms, to keep it from being
killed by frost.
Mr.. Murphy has been studying the
way it has been developed in the
regions, where they have commercial
orchards, with the smudge pots, and
has tried to plan something adapt
able to this locality and thinks that
most of the people who have fruit
trees and small fruits would like to
smudge to save them if they only
knew when to smudge. They usually
overlook the matter on at least one
of the nights that a freeze is devel-
oping, and thereby make the loss.
If somebody made list of per-
sons desiring to be warned, and
someone was delegated to watch the
temperature, say the night Waterman
at Blackfoot, and have those on the
list receive warning by telephone,
that the temperature had dropped
and a freeze was certain, those peo-
pie could apply the match to their
smudges and stave off the frost.
Mr.. Murphy thinks that most of
the people who have fruit have trash
that would be suitable for the
smudge and by consulting the farm
bureau they could probably get in
structions as to the safest and most
effective way to place it SO it would
be dry enough and damp enough to
smudge well and not be liable to
blow away and do damage.

GRAYSON MAY ANSWER LANSING

According to the latest gossip in
the east, Admiral Grayson is to add
his pen Tor typewriter) to the lit.
erary machinery working pro and con
on the record of Woodrow Wilson,
former president of the United
States.
Mr.. Wilson's physician is said to
have been so incensed by Robert
Lansing's book on "The Peace Nego-
tiations" that he too has resolved to
write a book.
The eastern newspapers say Ad-
miral Grayson will compile his book
from records contained in dairy to
which he contributed daily during
the eight years he was associated
with the president. This diary is
said to contain facts and observations
on both the public and private life of
Mr.. Wilson.
A friend of the admiral is quoted
as saying: admiral Grayson's diary
contains plenty to answer all the

complaints Of Mr.. Lansing. It will
do more than that. DR.. Grayson
dictated the material for his diary
every day while the matter he wished
to record, whether fact of anecdote
or observation, was fresh in his
mind. 1t will be an entertaining
volume and it will be an excellent
and satisfying reply to Mr.. Lans-
ing"
Like the predictions with regard
to Mr.. Lansing's book, we are told
that DR.. Grayson will reveal many
secrets about the former president,
especially in regard to his activities
at the peace conference. DR.. Gray
son was closer to the president than
any other man during his famous
stay at Hotel Crillon in Paris. 1t is
said that Admiral Crakson carried
on negotiations between Mr.. Wilson
and Lord Northcliffe, the British
publisher, who was attacking Lloyd
George at the time of the conference.
This might be rather delicate SUBJ
ject, but it would make interesting
reading.

GAVE BOY A CHANCE

CHICAGO.-Francis ]. Carey. 19
year old boy teller, who admitted he
stole $4,000 from bank at Ottawa,
H., rs kept his faith with Federal
Judge K. M. Lands.
He was sentenced to one year in
the national training school for boys
at Washington, D. c., after having
been at liberty on his own resog-
nizance for two months.
When Judge lands released the
boy last February until "he could
think over the case" he was i'm
mediately made the target in con-
gress by Senator Dial, banker and
cotton mill owner Of South Carolina.
The senator demanded an investiga-
ton of the judges act and remarks
at the time when Judge Lands said
the bank officials were indirectly re-
sponsible for the theft, since they
only paid the lad $85 q month. al
tho he was permitted to handle large
sums OF money.

THIS is GAY coNsTANTINopLE

Many strange stores have come
frOm> COnstantinople. It remained
for an American sailor, however. to
give a complete but brief picture of
life in the ancient Turkish capital.
This sailor went ashore from the
United States warship Scorpion, and
according to the New York Tribune,
this is what he discovered during a
tour of the city:
A street car passenger often bar
gains with conductor about the price
he will pay for ride.
If youth takes girl to the
movies once or twice her parents ex-
pect him to marry her.
Turkish saleswomen, even in the
smallest shops, are required to un-
derstand or speak seven or eight
languages.
Native men are accustomed to
rent" pipe to smoke while they
sip their afternoon tea.
A policeman, if he finds a. pick
pocket at work, may beat him and
then let his prisoner go.
Some Constantinople stores have
signs in as many as eight languages
over their doors.
A tourist may engage boatman to
row him for two miles for two or
three cents.
AS American money in Turkey is
worth Is to 20 per cent more than
Turkish gold, 1t is possible for one
to buy $40 gold piece for seventeen
paper dollars.
