Mr.. Bartlett was raised in Middle

high school there, he took the four
year dairying course at the University

special three months course in
creamery management at the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin. For the past two
years he has been bacteriologist and
plant manager Of the Middlebury Co

His best recommendation lies in the
work he has done in building up the
financial status at Middlebury which

and the confidence Of the farmers who
patronize the plant. He understands
and can do all phases Of creamery
work and is well acquainted with the

Captain Rockwell had retired half an

He heard his father tell Of the sec

remembers faint rumbles OF a war

remember the hardships Of the Civil
War and the final triumph Of the
Union.
He saw the United States take her
place in the front rank Of the nations
when she defeated the navy Of Spain
in 1898. And he saw with pride how
America turned the tide Of war in
1918.

He has watched the administrations
OF all but the first six presidents Of
the United States, and he has voted in
more than Is presidential elections.
He has seen the growth Of the steam

the advent Of the trolley car, tie tele-

He has seen the automobile surpdss

But he is still the gentle old man

who loves to tell his passengers Of his
long service and OF the lake on which
he has spent his life.

second successful steamboat OF the
world, just two years after Fulton's
Clermont made its first trip and eight
years before the Savannah started her
trips across the Atlantic under steam

And well does Captain Rockwell
keep alive the traditions Of the first
Vermont. He loves to tell the passen-

! The tremendous demand for
Tanlac continues una bated, ever
increasing Millions have rallied
to its standard unsolicited and
thousands have given public en-
dorsement. That the large drug
giStS everywhere are enthusiastic
over this sensation of the trade is
evidenced by the letters received
with orders.

druggists of Denver, Colo. writing
under date of July II. state: 1--WE

alone in the record sales for pro

up with the deluge of orders. Tan

than eight years, but more than 3d.
100000 bottles have been sold to

And the foreign field has been
entered with the most phenomenal
success. Mexico now knows Tan
lac as we'll as the people of the
United States and Canada. while
Cuba has received the celebrated
medicine with enthusiasm.
The reason for this amazing de-
mand is found in one word: merit.
No proprietary article could lone
survive the acid test of time and
public trial if it did not posses
real value and produce actual and
positive results. It cannot denend
merely on whirlwind ADVERTISING
and first CALI appeal. Back of
Tanlac's unprecedented record in
the drug trade is Tanlac'S success
in producing results. and when this
fact is thoroughly impressed there
cannot possibly be any mystery in
Tanlac's achievement in such
hort timc-the achievement Of
gaining the TOP of the heap and
holding undisputed leadership over
all preparations of its type ever
produced.

White Found to be
Better Than Colors
By Housewives

Il is a wise woman who discovers
early IN her career as a housewife
that pure white fabrics are more
economical for household purposes
than those Of colors, notes a writer
in the Kansas City Star. Always
pure white table cloth. dollies and
runners are the best. II they are
colored the color fades in time, leav-
ing an unattractiye result. More
over, II they are colored they can
not be boiled, and after all, boiling
Is the most satisfactory method for
keeping cottons or linens spotleas
and sweet.
Another thing TO bear in mind:
Colored fabrics sometimes run"
in the washing. This makes Il nee
esSary 20 wash them separately from
the white fabrics and this means
more work on washday.
II is a good plan 10 select pure
white bath and hand towels. Wash
cloths should always be pure white,
for wash cloths ought certainly TO
be boiled quite frequently TO keep
them sweet and white.
Some women even prefer pure
white kitchen aprons To be sure
the old-fRshi0ned, dark checked
aprons do not show the soil, but
they become soiled just as soon. The
pure white apron has the advantage
70 the scrupulous housewife Of
showing soil You can always tell
when IL should be discarded for a
clean one. And the pure white
apron can be washed with other
white clothes and never takes on
that dingy look that comes to col
ored aprons when they have be-
come faded.
Mothers sometimes regard il AS
an extravaganza to dress children
in pure white. But the same ad-
vantage that holds in the case Of
household linens holds in children's
clothes. This is especially true in
the case Of very young children
whose clothes must be washed fire.
