to aid. declared Frederick l.. Thompson of
Bellows Falls, VT, who for the past sew

of the American Relief administration
work in the vicinity of Pinsk and Brest-
Litovsk. Mr.. Thompson returned Mon
dav on the French liner France to spend

He said the United States was the only
nation aiding the Poles, and that if relief
were withdrawn now 100000 children
would face starvation next winter. He
declared Germany was basking in her
old-time prosperity.
Nowhere in Europe he said, 'fdid ]

NEW YORK SALES
ARE ENORMOUS
Biggest Thing of Kind Ever
Seen In That State, Says
Big Wholesaler

The fact that 625. 900 bottles of Tanlac
have been sold in the state of New York
since its introduction there less than one
year ago is big business item that will
attract unusual attention throughout the
entire East, for nothing like it has ever
happened before 1t breaks all records.
Mr.. George B. Evans, manager of the
Gibson-Snow Company, the well-known
wholesale druggists, with branches in
Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse,
recently announced that the preparation
was now selling in their trade territories
alone at the phenomenal rate of approx
imately 100000 bottles a year.
IF the present rate continues" said
Mr.. Evans, this state alone will probably
require considerably over 100000 bottles
a year. This is a tremendous figure, but
I am really conservative in making this
statement"

PUT FIRST BOOKS

Only Fire Proof Structure In City Then
From $4,000 Volumes Library Has
Grown to ,1OO,O0O-Annual Circu-
IatiOn Now 5000 600.


CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-When Chicago
this fall observes the 50th anniversary of
the great fire that destroyed this city 1T
will recall that its public library, now the
second largest in the world was born IN
that conflagration. The library owes its
start to British sympathy for the stricken
city which found its expression in books.
The prime mover in England was
Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Browns
School Days. His proposal resulted III
1900 volumes besides a sum of money
being sent here from Great Britain. The
childrens room in the library is called
the Thomas Hughes ROOM"
The chief prize of the Chicago public
library is an autographed copy of The
Early Years of the Prince COnsOrt that
Queen Victoria sent. 1t was volume
of memoirs of her husband that she had
had compiled. The queen inscribed 1t for
Chicago on Nov. Is, 1871, five weeks after
the fire of Oct. 9, and long before city
library had taken shape Fere.
Hughes, had visited Chicago several
years before the fire and made a number
of friends. On hearing of the disaster he
enlisted Queen Victoria, Gladstone. then
premier, others high in the government
authors such as Carhle and Disraeli, and
leading publishers. They Joined their
names to a circular of appeal TO the pe0-
pie of Great Britain.
Support was urged on the ground that
''the new library of Chicago is to be a
mark of sympathy now and a token of
that sentiment of kinShip which, indie
pendently of circumstances and independ-
emily of every other consideration, must
ever powerfully affect the different
branches of the English race"
The appeal was at once taken up by
the British press. A noted publisher al
Leipsic began the collection of books in
Germany. A thousand volumes were sent
by the Germans.
This activity abroad led the citizens OF
Chicago to bestir themselves. Hughes and
his associates took it for granted that
Chicago had had a public library and
that it had been destroyed. They sup
posed they were helping to replace it
There had, however, been none of this
sort before.
Chicago began to take the necessary
steps to start q library. On April
1872, six months after the fire, the city
council passed an ordinance for a fire,
city library. The city then got a Law
through the legislature authorizing a Ii
bFary tax.
After its fearful experience. Chicag,
