THE MARKETS


New York. March 15.-Transac-
tons on the stock exchange today
approXimated 100000 shares. al
most the largest total of the year.
A number Of specialties rose to
highest levels for that period, but
there We're many noteworthy ex-
ceptions to the upward trend.
Great Northern and Northern
Pacific were heavily sold in the
last half of the session at extreme
reactions of about four points. The
break in Great Northern followed
the publication of a statement by
Chairman Hill which was inter-
preted as casting doubt on the
maintenance Of the present rate OF
dividend.
Oils and motors, equipments and
steels, especially Mexican Petro-
leum, Studebaker and Crucible
were carried down one to three
points in the liquidation of rails
the market closing with a heavy
tone.
Sentiment was favorably influ-
enced during the morning by the
subsistence of labor disturbances in
South Africa. the more hopeful
tone of European political condi-
tons and the further pronounced
recovery of foreign exchanges
especially the British rate.
Another helpful factor was the
relaxed or easier money market
Although this was the final day for
payment of the first installment OF
the 1921 federal income tax. call
loans dropped from to 3h per
cent at midday and offerings OF
80 to 90 day funds were freely
made at AZ per cent.
Additional reports of 1921 oper-
ations were submitted by various
industrial companies, nearly all re-
fleeing the unfavorable trade con-
ditions of that period. The one
striking exception was the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, which show.
ed largest earnings in its history
Demand sterling rose to $4.34
on active bidding, partly for Lon
don account and allied exchanges
Belgium excepted, were moderately
better. Dutch, Swedish, Danish
Swiss and Spanish quotations also
were higher but the German rate
continued heavy.

CLVDES LUNCHEON SPEECH
SEES DANGER TO CHURCH

At the conclusion of an attack be-
fore the City Club, in Baltimore, Fri
day night, on the Eighteenth Amend
ment. in which he declared one of the
greatest dangers of prohibition did not
affect the state, but the church, Arthur
w. Nachen. of the Baltimore bar, was
questioned closely by a number of
''drys" with the result that the feeling
between the factions present became
tense.
George W. Crabbe, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, heard the
Iress. I. Bibb Mills, league counsel,
and the Rev. Or. Don S. Colt. also
were present.
Mr.. Crabbe did not join in the ap-
plause of Mr.. Machens remarks, but
he smiled slightly when Mr.. Machen
made some reference to Crabbe.
Referring 20 the danger of prohibi-
ton to the church. Mr. Machen said:
The second OF the great dangers of
prohibition is danger not directly to
the state. but to the church. 1t is diff

THE danger to which | refer is the
impairment of the authority of Christ,
the diversion Of the church from her
rightful mission. with a consequent
loss Of her influence and power.
The prohibition movement in this
country has undoubtedly derived its
strength and chief support from the Of
fetal Endorsement of certain denOmina-
ti0ns of Christians. The pulpit is used
not to preach the Gospel. but to prop
agate prohibition. The idea is inculcat-
ed that a man who opposes prohibition
cannot he sincere Christian. Now.
even # prohibition is all that its ad-
vocates claim, there is great danger

such an attitude.

that of ali governments instituted
among men a government by priests
or clergy, whether Catholic or Protes-
TAM, IS inc very WoISt. II Is because
the church's one mission is to 20 into
Il the world and preach the Gospel

Case.

Before | took Tanlac myself / often
wondered il it really was all the pap
ers claimed it to be. But l have no
doubt about it now, for it has helped
ne after all other medicines failed,
said Mrs. G. l.. Ref, highly esteemed
resident OF 1902 TAFT Ave, Baltimore,
a few days ago.
For years l have suffered from in
digestion and have had no appetite.
My stomach was s. weak that | could
scarcely stand the sight of food. l sim
ply had to force down what little | did
eat and as careful as | was of my
diet gas would form and cause me no
end Of trouble
Il have also suffered for years with
bronchial trouble and the irritation in
my throat would keep me awake most
all night. AS result of these troubles
became badly rundown and con-
-inuallv lost energy and strength.
After reading number OF testi-
monials from Baltimore people | be-
gan taking Tanlac and my only re-
greet is that l did not have it long
ago. The difference Taulac has made
in my condition is too wonderful for
words to express.
Il onw eat as l please. as much as
please and never have particle OF
trouble afterwards. And l don't know
how Tanlac did it, unless it is the way
it has built up my system, but my
bronchial trouble is gone completely.
sleeD splendidly and feel so much
stronger and more energetic that l
am like a different person. Tanlac is
lust grand and am glad for my tes-
timonial to be used in letting others
know about it,"
The stomach regulates the condi-
ton of the blood and is the fountain
head of health or diseases as the case
may be Tanlac is intended primarily
for the regulation of the stomach and
the correctiony of catarrhal inflama-
ton, but it is no uncomomn thing for
persons who have used it to find
that ii has relieved them, not only of
Indigestion. but also of rheumatism,

"Mr Haynes, says that prohibition
is good for the laboring man because
the efficiency of labor has increased.
But who are quoted in support OF this
dictum? Not laboring men themselves
not their wives or childrenAbut
capitalists and employers. Prohibition
is a boon to the laboring man, for
sooth, because employers who think

himself. As to those clubs in this and
other cities where l have been enter

of a gentleman not to incriminate his

that liquor has been 'outIawed from
