British Writer Says Dearth of Husbands Taking Edge Off Ultra-Modernity.

International News Service Staff Cor respondent. London, Nov. 3.-Aha Man is get | ting w0man-unruly, independent,
 modern woman-under his thumb! The gay young lass who has Haunt el the manners lof her dear old gran n!e' is calling a halt to her freedom, and all because there are too few men to go around.
 Just because there are too few men, women are striving to model themselves after the fashion that men admire, and men don't admire 'too independent" women-at least they don't admire them sufficiently to war seas with them.
 Francis Gribble noted British writer is the Christopher Columbus of fen11ninity who has tracked down these ia tets.
 women tend to become Cor, at
 any rate, to appear) what they find
 men a!7, like them to be- Gr5bble says. "Few women are really satisfied with batting themselves on the back and blowing their own trumpets; nor are many of them fully contented with being told how amazingly clever they are,
 Most of them aspire to be loved as well as admired, to be married as we'll as loved and to hold their hus- bands affections after marriage, and to that end are disposed to give quite as much cons derartion to mems Ideals of womanhoOd as to their own
 '"They may be expected, moreover, to give even more attention to those ideals in the future than they have given in the past for the reason that men nowadays are relatively few and women are relatively numerous.
 Since women, therefore, just at present are looking for husbands rather more eagerly than men are looking for wives the play of com petition makes it fairly certain that the modern woman will develop on the lines which man prefers.
 And man, there is on d' nying. is disposed to revolt against some of the characteristics of Georgion woman hood.

 But he is showing an increasing disinclfnation to marry her, prefer 1 ring women who are a shade more ef- | fcient ir the domestic sphere and little readier to lean on him for help in his.
 Accordingly there has been a rev. olution in the outlook of women and signs of a throw-back' to the earlier ideal of perfect w1omanhood''

B ST. WOMAN IS
RESTORED BY IT
Mrs. Annie Young Declares
TanIac the Most Remarkable
Medicine She Has
Ever Seen.

One of the features that has stood out
most prominently in connection with
the introduction Of Tanlac everywhere
has been the very large number OF men
and women Of advanced age who have
testified 10 the splendid results they have
derived from it's use.
Among the elderly people of Wishing
ton who have realized the powers Of the
medicine and have volunteered TO speak
out is Mrs. Annie T.. Young Of 2l5 B
street, Northwest, who has now past
her three score and ten by n little more
than nine years Mrs. Young has resided
| in Washington for n great many years
and IL beloved by oil who know her In
relating her experience, Mrs. Young
said.
II must have been about the first to
try Tanlnc when IL was put on sole here
in Washington and possibly the first
| to get such wonderful results. Before !
began taking il / was very weak and
nervous. had o poor appetite, slept
wretchedly, and was feeling mighty bad
"My digestion was not good, either,
but four bottles Of Tanlao has changed
all that and am feeling better than
have in n long time The way Tanlac
has restored and built me up and sup
Piled me with energy and strength is
wonderful.
'I have n fine appetite now and some
| of my fnvOrite dishes like sweet potatoes
that disagreed with me before, don't
hurt me now, for my stomach and di-
gestion are az good IA they ever were.
I have tried lots Of different kinds Of
medicines in my time and can tell the
people of Washington, where l have
lived for years, that Tanlac is by far
tho best Of them all. To be feeling 40
we'll mt my age is certainly something
10 be thankful for and can't praiss
Tanlac too highly. ! know from the
way Tnnlac has helped me that IL will
do untold good in Washington. hope
every man and woman suffering as
did will try it.
When people reach old age their di
gestive organs lack vitality and benr
to act more slowly and less effectually
than IN youth. The circulation become
poor, the blood thins, the appetite fails
and the digestion grows weak.
Tanlac, the powerful reconstructiv'
tonic, is the ideal strength and bod
builder for old folks, because it create
an appetite, strengthens digestion, an'
in natural way strengthens and in
vigorates rundown, nervous and elderi
people.
Tanlac is sold In Wilmington a
Eckerd's Drug Stores.
