Government Tearing

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-Hog Island,
where rose the shipEuilding industry
during the war that gave the United
States renewed prestige in the mari
time world, soon will be the fiat field
it was before Uncle Sam invested
270,0o0,000 there. But the 946 acres
will be habitable, as sanitary 'cngi-
neers have made it SO.
Where once an army of $4,000 men
were building high-class vessels at
record breaking speed, there now is
a detail Of so men armed with OK

ment is being wrought The work Of
dismantling the mammoth machinery
of war is progressing at rapid pace.
The governments attempt to dis
pose of the plant by auction having
brought only low bids, it was decided
to sell it piecemeal. Ponderous as is
much of the equipment, the govern

requires. In the words of J. T.

Editorial Comment
Reviving the Entente
(New York Tribune)

N->S" L VI 4llpQutp
The Turkish nation, reborn and
militant, has reversed the verdict Of
Sevres. 1t demands a new status
and considerable territorial enlarge
ment.
Greece. the only power which
blocked the recovery of western Asia
Minor, has been eliminated on the
battlefield. The Allies tacitly agreed
to let Greece and the Anatolian state
fight it out for Smyrna and part of
Thrace. They hoped. perhaps, that
each contestant would wear out the
other. But the Turks have won a
victory over the Greeks which COM
pares with some of their overwhelm-
ing military successes centuries ago,
when they were in their prime as a
warrior nation. If not restrained
the Turks will remake the Near
Eastern map as they remade it when
they broke into southeastern Europe
Who will furnish the restraint
The Allied signers of the Sevres
treaty are morally bound to furnish
it. They fought and defeated Tur-
key because she Joined the Teuton
peace breakers. The treaty which
ended the war has been only par
TALLY enforced. Turkey has routed
Greece, but Greece deserted the AL
lied camp in 1920 when she recalled
Constantine. Turkey has not de-
feated the Entente powers. She is
still accountable to them. although
they have announced their Wiling
ness to modify the Sevres settlement.
A Refrigerated Entente is needed
to face Refrigerated Turkey The
Allied concert has been strained by
differences of opinion over German
reparations and the enforcement of
the Versailles treaty. France has
been hard pushed by British and
Italian demands for leniency to Ger
many. a conflict of economic inter-
est has been turned to German adj
vantage. Attempts to scale repara-
tons and relax German penalties,
although destructive ~ Allied unity,
Rave not threatened a new European
war. But working at cross purposes
precipitate such war.
Western Europe cannot afford to
allow the Turk to profit by Entente
dissensions. If Constantinople is TO
be internationalized and the freedom
of the Straits established, Great
Britain. France and Italy must stand
together. Great Britain has no eco
nomic interest in allowing Turkey
to wriggle away from the conse-
quences of defeat. So far as Con-
stantinople is concerned. she is in the
same position as France with regard
to German PREPARATIONS. Her in
fiuence will be thrown against undue
concessions to the Turks.
One Of the consequences of the
Turkish revival will probably be a
renewed British recognition that Al.
lied concert to reap the fruits of VIC
tory is still preferable to the sort of
separatism which would let some of
them be reaped and some escape, ac-

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash II with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aikan. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Mulsifed cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which Is pure and entire
iy greaseless). is much better than
anything else you can use for shampoo
ing. as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoonfuls
OF Mulsifled in a cup or glass with a
little warm water. then moisten your
hair with water and rub it in. 1t will
make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather. and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt. dandruff and excess oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
1t leaves 1t fine and silky, bright, nuny
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the FAMILY for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsihed.-Adv.

Concentrating
Humane.LaW

| Washington, Sept. 1S.-Braving the
! opposition Of colleagues and oppo-
nents, Richard Martin introduced in
! to the British parliament in 1922, an
act providing punishment for the
| '1ll-treatment of cattle" and by the
force Of his personality forced its
| passage as a law.
Humane societies throughout Eng
land and the United States are OBJ
serving, in various forms the CEN
tenary Of the enactment Of this first
law for the protection of animals
from cruelty, which, for the first time
in any country, made it unlawful to
abuse animals.
Humanity" Martin, so named by
King George Nv because Of his intro
duction and support of the law, was
an intense Irish nobleman with inn
mense estates in Galway, where he
| lived in the manner of feudal lord
when not attending parliament in
London.
He was a man of infinite personal
courage and a dualist of note. But
with his courage and dueling pro-
clivities was a genuine Irish humor,
wild and turbulent at times. He al
ways was a lover of animals and
disliked ill-treatment of them as in
tensely as he loved the animals
themselves.
After introducing his bill, Martin
was asked to withdraw it so that it
could be amended and introduced at
the following session. Speaking in
opposition, one opponent declared he
could not see why, under the terms
of the bill, a punishment should not
be affixed to the boiling of Holsters
and the eating of live oysters
To all opposition Martin replied
with more vigorous support and
made strong appeal at the second
reading. After his appeal, a vote
was taken and the ayes" stood 20
against IS noes" The bill passed
its third reading in the House of
Commons June I, 1882.
To Martin also belongs the credit
for the first conviction under the law
he fostered. Martin himself appeared
as complainant against a driver who
had mercilessly beaten a donkey. The
animal was dragged into court be-
fore the judge and Martin so inn
pressed the court with the evidences
the donkey bore of it's masters cru
city that the driver was found guilty,
much to the surprise Of the many
onlookers who had crowded into the
courtroom.
Less than a year after Martins
death at Boulogne, France, in 1884,
his original act was amended and
bull and bear batting and cock fight
ing We're prohibited throughout the
British Isles.
While credit is given the Great and
General Court of Massachusetts, in
1641, for passing an act declaring
that mo man shall exercise any ty-
ranny toward any brute creatures
which usually are kept for the use
of man." Martins act is recognized
as the first law expressly forbidding
illtreatment of animals.
Two years after the passage of
the act, Martin and some Of his
friends realizing the law would be
valueless without proper enforce
ment, organized the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
Queen Victoria later giving her APP
prevail to the addition of the word
Royal to the title. From the So
ciety originated first the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals and later the State soci-

TANLAC DEMAND
IS GREATER Than
EVER IN HISTORY
Modern Plants Have Increased
Capacity Of 62,24O Bottles a
Day But Makers Are Still
Behind Orders - Medicine
Publicly Endorsed by Best
People Everywhere.

During the first seven months OF
this year 3,5S4,o0o bottles Of Tanlac
have been sold and a new world
record for a proprietary medicine is
established.
More than 3O,000,O00 bottles have
been sold during the eight years
Tanlac has been before the public,
and to say that it is the largest SELL
ing medicine OF its kind does not
begin to tell the story. No other
preparation has ever approached the
demand enjoyed by Tanlac, and it is
expected that the sales this year
alone will be more than ten million
bottles.
Working diligently at full capacity
the three modern laboratories at Day.
ton. Ohio, Walkerville, Canada, and
Mexico City are still behind with or
ders, in spite of the fact that the
combined output has been increas ed
to 62,240 bottles day. While the
laboratories are striving for quantity
production this endeavor is still sec
ondary to the determination to make
no sacrifice whatever that will en-
danger the high quality of the medi-
cine.
Tanlac's widespread and ever in
creasing popularity is the strongest
possible proof of it's unquestioned
merit No product, no matter how
extensively advertised, could con-
tinue to establish world records for
sales year after year if it did not
produce actual and positive results.
Tanlac is composed of the most
beneficial roots. herbs and banks
known to medical science. The for
mula is ethical and conforms to all
pure food and drug laws, and all
though Tanlac's superiority is abun-
dainty supported by leading authori-
ties it is the people themselves who
have made Tanlac what it is. Mil
lions upon millions have used it and
have told other millions what it has
done, while thousands of the best
people in every community have Civ
en- public statements of the great
benefits they have received by taking
it.
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
gists.
