Ten Ingredients In TanIac
Altogether, there are ten ingredi-
ents in Tanlac, each Of which is Of
recognized therapeutic value.
In referring to one of the more
important ingredients of Tanlac, the
Encyclopedia Britannica says:
'1t has been the source Of the
most valuable tonic medicines that
have ever been discovered"
In referring to other of the gen.
eral tonic drugs contained in Tan
lac, the 18th Edition of Potter's
Therapeutics, a standard medica'
textbook, states that "they impart
general tone and strength to the en-
tire system, including all organs and
tissues"
This same well-known authority in
describing the physiological action of
still another of the ingredients of
Tanlac, which is of value in treating
what is commonly known as "run-
down condition." uses the following
expression: ofi =

FACT AND THEORY

If the facts do not agree with the
theory, then away with the facts. That
is the basis upon which good many
conclusions are reached, notably con-
clusions relating to wheat prices.
There is a theory, widely accepted,
that grain prices are depressed in the
fall months, and very largely increas-
ed in the spring, the effect being to
enable spectators to obtain possess
sion of the crop at low price during
the marketing period, and to enrich
themselves few months later by SELL
ing at very great advance. 1t is
charged that these spectators are
not the accidental beneficiaries Of
normal price fluctuations, but that
they themselves fix these prices ar
bitrarily in order to rob the producer
at one end of the transaction and the
consumer at the other end.
1t has never been explained salts
factorily just how these spectators,
whoever they may be, are able thus to
manipulate the market to their own
advantage. A little study of the facts
renders explanation on this point un-
necessary. We do not need to inquire
how it is done when we know that it
isn't done.
Wheat prices have often been high
err in the spring than in the fall. But
only on rare occasions has the spring

Solitary confinement, such as my wife
endured for two months, is the most
horrible punishment that can be in
fiicted.

SOCIALIST LEADER SAYS
BOLSHEVIK PRISONS ARE

methods lack all elements of decency

California Socialist and labor leader
who with his wife was thrown into
Bolshevist prisons n Moscow for four
months after he had failed to voice

an this mood, Bryan's arbitration

"None of us can foretell the out

"But, and this is not the point we
started out TO make, it is paradox Of
paradoxes that Mr.. Bryan should be
sitting among national councillors
again, especially with the Republicans
in power"
Driven out of the cabinet by a DEM
ocratic President, because he could not

price been enough higher than the fall
price to cover the cost of carrying the
grain during the intervening months
However, on the principle that the
facts must give way to the theory, a
good many people will refuse to aban-
don the above theory on the mere pre-
sentation of the facts. and they will
continue to exercise their ingenuity in
the search for an explanation of the
conditions which they imagine. In or
der that the exercise may be as slim
ulating as possible, another element
in the situation may be suggested.
Wheat is one of the most important
products of the southern as we'll as
the northern hemisphere. The south
ern crop is threshed and placed on the
market in what are our spring months.
During the past six years Of govern
mcnt grain commissions and other
agencies of government control, mar
ket quotations have been greatly dis
turbed. But before the war there
was substantially but one wheat price
throughout the world 1t was often
said that the world price was made at
Liverpool. 1t was not made there, or
in any other single spot. But because
Of its peculiar position as great CEN
ter of collection and distribution, Liv-
erpool was the place where, more than
anywhere else, the world conditions
affecting production and consumption
were brought together. and out of
their reaction upon each other, price
quotations developed. Temporary and
local conditions develop local fluctua-
tions. These, if important, were re-
fiected in the Liverpool price. But,
with reasonable allowance made for
spasmodic developments in local mar
kets, the Liverpool price was the
price throughout the world, transpor-
tation and other necessary charges
being figured in,
If the spectators had been able to
control American prices regardless of
any foreign market, their problem
would have been a simle one. Ba.
they could not do this. At least they
did not do it. In September as in
March there Is ratio, approximately
stable, in prices in Chicago, Liberpool
and Buenos Aires. If prices were
forced up arbitrarily in March they
were forced up just when the great
Argentine and Australian crops were
being marketed. and the spectators
in America and few other American
grain centers must have been obliged
to maintain world prices at an abb
normal level against all offerings from,
every country south Of the equator
That would seem like a fairly large
undertaking, and if it were carried OUT
it must have made wheat raising il
the southern hemisphere much NOR,
profitable occupation than it appears
to have been.
