SUFFERED EVER
SINCE BOYHOOD
Vermont Man Says Change
Tanlac Made In Him Was
a Big and Happy
Surprise

IF anybody had told me a few months
ago ] was going to get rid of headaches,
attacks of which | had been subject to
since | was a boy, / wouldn't have be-
lived them, but it has happened and L
gladly give the entire credit to TanIac,"
said Charles c. Primer, Arlington, Vt.
For years 1 had periodic attacks The
pain would begin in my eyes and then
extend down the back of my neck and
would hurt me until L would go almost
frantic, and it was impossible for me to
do any work until the attacks passed off.
My liver was out of order, too, and / was
so bilious my skin was salIow and | felt
weak and worn out all the time | fell off
in weight until | was little more than a
walking skeleton and, in fact, was Just
about as miserable as a man ever gets
to be.
This was my condition when 1 began
taking Tanlac. 1t has been the gladdest
surprise of my life how this medicine has
made an entire change in he The bill
iousness is gone, haven't had a headache
in months, my digestion is perfect and [
sleep all night long like a log I have
gained II pounds in weight, too. and feel
better than l have in many years.

DISARMAMENT FOR WOMEN.

Women should not only preach disarm-
ament. They should practice it them
selves This is the opinion of Miss Alice
Robertson, congresswoman from Okla
homa.
Miss Robertson was moved to this com
ment by the daily increasing list of
women murderers, who she thinks are
punished too lightly as rule. She sees
a lack of consistency, also, in women's
attitude toward military things. She
says:
The women talk so much about dis
armament Well, why don't they dis
arm? Why don't they begin it by dis
arming women?
''They talk disarmament, but they
want war Look at the so-called wom-
ems magazines. They're filled with ad-
vertisements of military accessories.
Women clamoring for disarmament send
their boys to the military academy, and
let stores continue to sell toys sugges-
tive of war;
There is deal of truth in what this
practical woman suggests. If women
will think it over carefully. it will give
them new light on the extent to which
the military idea is rooted in human life
and the uprooting that must be done be-
fore disarmament is fairly started.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST II, 1921.
WHAT A BOY is WORTH.

Perhaps boys have not been fully APP
preciated at their economic value.
A Chicago man estimates that it costs
$500 to bring a boy to the age of II
years The Rochester On. " Democrat
thinks that the average father Will not
consider this estimate too low. The cost
of rearing a representative American
child can hardly be under $500 a year.
Parents in ordinarily comfortable cir
cumstances are pretty sure to find, if they
do a little figuring, that it costs them
more than that. The head of family of
five that does not live at all pretentiously
is accustomed to reckon the expense of
his three small children at $1,000 year
apiece That takes account not merely
of the food, clothing and other direct and
obvious expenses, but of the fact that
larger house is required where there are
children. with more expenditure for rent
furniture, household help, etc. 1t is prob
ably true that childless couple can live
for half as much as that same couple
could with three children, on the same
scale of living.
The newspaper quoted is impressed by
the capital represented by any aggrega-
ton of boys. at the valuation given. Thus
a class of 10 boys in Sunday school rep
resents a $4,000 investment. A Boy
Scout troop of 80 stands for an outlay of
$165,O0O. A schoolroom full of boys
means close to a quarter of million dob
lars. And there need be no sex discrim-
nation about it. Girls cost no less: and
the way things are going, they may play
just as important part as the boys in
the economic world of the future, apart
from their inestimable work of mother
hood.
This may be rather materialistfc way
of looking at childhood, but it helps ma
terialistic age to get its perspective
straight. Take a lot of boys playing ball
in the corner lot Think of them not as
noisy, troublesome crowd of youngsters,
but as a quarter of a million dollars, in
carnate and active and promising big div
idends if properly handled, and it sort of
changes a busy mans attitude toward
them.
Congress seems to have an inkling of
the principle involved, in its proposal to
raise the income tax exemption for de
pendents from 5000 apiece to $4O0. \
fair valuation of American childhood
would make the exemption still larger.

Bartending isn't what it used to be,

STILL BARTENDERS.

The Bartenders' League of America,
in convention at Chicago, not only proves
that it still exists but decides not to
change the ancient name of its trade to
any such modern and refined equivalent
as beverage dispenser"
This decision may be sentimental It
may be bravado. But it is probably in
spired by hope. The bartending profess
sion. like the followers of many another
deposed monarch, still hope that old
John Barleycorn will come back and
they want to be ready.
He may come back, at that, in his
malt FORM There is considerable agita-
ton now in favor of permitting the man
ufacture and sale of beer of a somewhat
stronger alcoholic content than one-half
of one per cent, though less than the old
strength This agitation is encouraged
by the widespread defiance of the Vol
stead law, especially the traffic in bootleg
whiskey 1t is urged that if mild beer
were permitted there would be less in
centive for all the home brewing and
distilling. 1t is also urged that congress,
having authority to interpret the eight
zenith amendment, has a right to declare
two or three per cent beer non-intoxicat-
ing If it chooses.
That may be done eventually, but cer-

THE PROGRESS OF BUSINESS.

Ira Lackey, the oldest drummer, who
is SO, has been on the road for % years.
During that time he has covered LOO
600 miles He is still knocking off 10000
miles year, and he ought to know some
thing about the business.
THE old days of craftsmanship are
gone" he says. And is he deploring the
fact? He is not.
Il remember the days when sales were
made over the third or fourth glass of
whiskey. Today it's different, and I'm
glad Of it. Now we win on merit. Clean
habits, intelligence, scientific salesman
ship are the things that count"
Here you have, in few words, rec
ord of the progress of modern business
methods. Business is growing scientific.
And because science implies morals, bust
ness is growing moral. People may talk
about its 'crookedness", but business to-
day is cleaner. whittier and squarer, as
well as more efficient, than ever before.

Charles Francis Joseph, the former
emperor king of Austria Hungary, who
has been plain Mr. Hapsburg since he
lost his throne in the war, today enters
upon his 35th year Since he was forced
to flee from Vienna. toward the close of
1918, the one time emperor has been liy-
ing in exile in Switzerland, but from re-
cent dispatches it appears that he is
likely to be deprived of this haven as
the Swiss government has threatened
to expel him because of his plots TO re-
gain his throne. Charles Francis was a
grand nephew of the late Emperor
Francis Joseph. The assassination of
his uncle, Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
at :Sarajeyo in 1914 made him the heir
to the throne, to which he succeeded on
the death of the aged emperor in 1916.
In 1910 he was married to Princess Zita

Public Says Middle of River.
(Barre Times.

There's an island at the junction of
the Ammonoosuc and Connecticut rivers.
near Woodsville and Wells River, which,
according to an advertisement in the Gro
ton Times, lies in four towns. three coun-
ties and two states. Heretofore, New
Hampshire has been claiming the whole
of the Connecticut river as far as the
west bank of that stream. so that the ad-
yertisement seems to conflict with that
claim. According to the advertisement,
the island, which, by the way, has been
made into an amusement resort. lies in
the towns of Haverhill and Bath, y. H.,
and Newbury and Ryegate, Vt. and in
the county of Grafton in New Hamp-
shire and the counties of Orange and Cal
edonia in Vermont. The advertisement
furnishes. perhaps. a valuable commen-
tary on the public mind in the border
towns, which seems to be that the bound
airy is in the middle of the Connecticut
river instead of the west bank.
