FROM REMOTEST
PARTS OF GLOBE
1anIac Elements Come From
Many Lands Far Away
From Here.

The ingredients from which the cele-
brated medicine Tanlac is made, come
from remote sections of the earth,
and are transported thousands of
miles over land and sea to the great
Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton, Ohio,
and Walkersville, Canada.
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees, Rus
sian Asia, Brazil, West Indies, Rocky
Mountains. Asia Minor Persia, India,
Mexico, Columbia and Pert are
among the far away points from which
the principal properties of this re-
markable preparation are obtained.
What is said to be the largest pIar-
maceutical laboratory in the United
States has been completed at Dayton,
Ohio. for the manufacture of Tanlac.
which. according to recent reports. is
now having the largest sale OF any
medicine of It's kind in the world.
over 2oo00,000 bottles having been
sold in six years.
The new plant occupies 6O,0OO
square feet of floor space and has a
daily capacity of 10000 bottles Uni
form quality is guaranteed by a series
OF careful inspections by expert chem
lists from the time the roots. herbs.
barks and flowers are received in their
rough state from all parts OF the globe,
until their medicinal properties have
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The finished medicine is
then bottled labeled and shipped out
to tens Of thousands of druggists
throughout the United States ana

CHAPTER x.
A Costly Recapture.

AS the speaker ceased he turned to
leave the apartment by the door where
l was standing, but needed to wait
no longer; 1 had heard enough to fill
my soul with dread, and stealing quiet
~ away l returned to the courtyard by
the way had come. My plan Of &C
ton was formed upon the instant and,
crossing the square and the bordering
avenue upon the opposite side, soon
stood within the courtyard of Tai Ha-
jus.
l glanced up at the stories above,
discovering that the third was appar-
emily unlighted, and so decided to
make my entrance to the building from
that point. 1t was the work of but a
moment for me to reach the windows
above, and soon l had drawn myself
within the sheltering shadows of the
unlighted floor.
Fortunately the room 1 had selected
was untenaEted, and creeping noiseless-
ly to the corridor beyond discovered
a light in the apartments ahead of me.
Reaching what appeared to b" a door
way / discovered that it was but an
opening upon an immense inner cham
Der which lowered from the first floor,
two stories below me, to the dome-like
roof of the building, high above my
head. The floor of this great circular
hall was thronged with chieftains, war
riUrs and women, and at one end was
great raised platform upon which
-squatted the most hideous beast l had
ever put my eyes upon. He had all
the cold, hard, cruel, terrible features
of the green warriors, but accentuated
and debased by the animal passions TO
which he had given himself over for
many years. There was not a mark of
dignity or pride upon his bestial coun-
tenance, while his enormous bulk
spread itself out upon the platform,
where he squatted like some huge
devil fish, his six limbs accentuating
the similarity in a horrible and star
ting manner.
But the sight that froze me with ap-
prehension was that Of Dejah Thoris
and Sofa standing there before him,
and the fiendish Ieer Of him as he let
his great protruding eyes gloat upon
the lines Of her beautiful figure. She
stood there erect before him, her head
high held, and even at the distance
was from them / could read the scoTn
and disgust upon her fa,e as she let
her naughty glance rest without sign
of fear upon him.
Presently Tai Hajus made a sign
that the chamber be cleared, and tha'
the prisoners be left alone with him
Slowly the chieftains, the warriors
and the women melted away into the
shadows Of the surrounding chambers

sword, sharp and cleaning was in my
right hand; / could have plunged it
into his putrid heart before he realized
that 1 was upon him; but as raised
my arm to strike l thought of Tars
Tarkas, and, with all my rage, with all
my hatred, l could not rob him of that
sweet moment for which he had lived
and hoped all these long, weary years,
and SO, instead, swung my good right
fist fup upon the point Of his jaw.
Without souLd he slipped to the floor
as one dead.
In the same deathly silerce grasp
ed Dejah Tho.1s by the hand and, mo-
tioning to Sofa to follow, We sped
noiselessly from the chamber and to
the floor above. Unseen we reached
rear window and with the straps and
leather Of my trappings lowered first
Sofa and then Dejah Thoris to the
ground below. Dropping lightly after
them drew them rapidly around the
court In the shadows of the buildings,
and thus we returned over the same
course l had so recently followed from
the distant boundary Of the city.
We finally came upon my thoats In
the courtyard where / had left them,
and placing the trappings upon them
we FASTENED through the building TO
the avenue beyond. Mounting, Sofa
upon one beast, and Dejah Thoris be-
hind me upon the other, we rode from
the city of Thark through the hills to
the south
No word was spoken until we had
left the city far behind, but ! could
hear the quiet sObbing of Dejah Thoris

he was frightfully Scared, and also
decorated with the breastplate of hui

warriors among the Warhoons, as well
as to indicate their awful ferocity,

the Thanks.

In a recent interview in the New
York World. U. S. Senator Ladd from
North Dakota lays bare the reason
for the waste that is squeezing the far
mer-producer at one end and bleeding
the consumer at the other. OF every
dollar which the consumer pays for
food, the Senator states that 30c goes
to the men who produce the food and
Zoe is lifted by the middlemen who
control its distribution. In several
European countries" he adds, this
ratio is reversed. There Zoe goes to
the farmer and it costs Doc for dis
tribution. Let the farmers feed the
people and they can reverse the ratio
here. They can make production pay,
and at the same time deliver food to
your cities much more cheaply than
the spectators can do it.
Now, stop moment and figure out
just what such saving would mean to
the workers of this country. who are
the chief consumers of the food which
the farmers produce. Suppose that
we only attain the present standard
of efficiency of the best distribution
systems of Europe, and pay Doc on
each dollar for the cost of bringing
the food to us. According to Profess
sor MILFORD |. King. expert on the
staff Of the National Bureau of Econ
omic Research, the workers of the
country receive annually approximate
ly thirty billion dollars in wages and
salaries. One-fourth the income of
the average workers family is expend-
ed for food. or an expenditure of ST.
500,000,000 on the basis of present
wage payments. Suppose the consum-
er splits with the farmer the differ
ence between the 80 per cent cost Of
distribution in Europe and the 20 per-
cent here. That would mean a saving
of 40 per cent, or 20 per cent each
to producer and consumer. Translat-
ed into dollars, that means three bill
lion dollares for both of them, or
billion and a half apiece.
A great deal of industrial commo-
ton is being occasioned by reductions
in wage scales. What if every worker
in the country were told tomorrow
morning: Here is a | % increase in
pay for you, beginning just as soon as
you have the initiative and eneargy
to call for it. That. in cold figures,
is just what saving of $l,500,000,-
GEO means on a total wage payment
Of $30,000.O00,000.
Is it worth going after?

Commission has just inaugurated di-
rect trading campaign to save the far
ners and workers much more than Sc |
