At the great Tanlac laboratories
at Dayton, Ohio, letters and tele-
grams are pouring in daily asking
that shipments of Tanlac be rushed
at once. Many of these orders are
for full carload shipments. and
quite few of them for two and
three carloads. Although running
at top speed, the Tanlac laborator-
les are now over half a million
bottles, or approximately twenty
four carloads behind with orders.
This announcement will no doubt
be received with great surprise in
the drug world, because business
in many lines. especially in the
drug and medicine business, has
been off from 40 to so per cent.
Agents in Every Town.
One druggist in every city. town
and village in the United States and
Canada where agencies have not
already been established will be
awarded the exclusive publicity
agency for Tanlac within the next
thirty days. These agencies will
carry with them big publicity
campaign exclusively for the one
druggist in each city and town VINO
secures the agency.
Ianlac is going right ahead more
vigorously than ever before. For
lanlac there IS no such thing as
business depression. In fact, Tan

The bulletin states that there
are in operation in the continental
United States about 266,000 miles
of railroads, representing a prop
erty investment of over 10 billions,
almost Is billions of which was
spent in their construction. Two
million workers were furnished en-
ployment and received in 1920 an
aggregate wage in excess of
50, $50. 600, 900.
During the 5-year period, 1916
1919. s1,5O0,00 900 was spent in
the construction of rural public
roads. In 1921 alone, the estimate
for this sort of construction is
more than $1,000, o00. 900.
In addition, it is estimated that
there are in the cities of the United
States substantially $4,000 miles of
streets and highways which have
been built at a cost of approximate
" $4,000, 900, 900.
Manufacturing.
Coming to manufactures. the bull
letin quotes the last census of 1914
to show that in the United States
there were 276,000 concerns having
an aggregate capitalization of near
S23 900 900, 900 devoted to manufac-
ture. These concerns employed
10, 65S. 900 workers, of whom $685.
600 were males. The support of
these workers required an annual
payroll of s5,26S ,249 900.
Their annual output was valued
at over s25 1000 ,000, 900, $4,000. 000,-
0O0of which were created, value,
added by manufacture Roughly
speaking, about one quarter of all
the persons engaged in manufac-
ture may be said to qualify for the
construction industry, as do like
wise all the plants whose products
go into construction solely.
The bulletin says that the CLASH
fication, trade, must loog to the
construction industry for a large
proportion of its business. Almost

The wonder is not that there

that country so large and popu-
lous should hold toge her at all,

Chinese everywhere agree with
the Englishman Wells that this is
the age of rapid communications
and that a nation which moves at
four or five miles an hour is at the
mercy of even a much smaller ma
ton which moves at As or so miles
an hour.
China, territorially, is about the
size of the United States She has
7,100 miles of railway. The United
States has about 100000 miles.
China has practically no high
ways worth mentioning. The United
States has more than 1000. 900
miles of them.
OF the railroads in China, $500
miles are foreign concessions. These

Development, of course, is slow,

Autos Versus Trains.
China, according 10 Dr. Sun, the
Cantonese president, stands in
greater need of dirt roads even
than railroads. Or rather the alb
sence of railways makes good dirt
roads ell the more necessary.
Dr. Sun figures that dirt roads
y,
for comparatively small sum Chi
ma might build a number of ma
tional highways. On these auto
mobiles and trucks would take the
place of trains pending develop
ment Of the railroads.
The doctor foresees a demand for
automobiles in China constantly on
the increase until it exceeds that
Of any other country on earth.
But first, there must be roads.
China now depends on her rivers
for most OF her communications
She has some $4,000 miles of navi-
gable streams.
China's telegraph lines total
about 10000 miles. about a 40th of
the mileage in the United States
where there is one-quarter the pop
ulation.
