SUPT. ELKS CLUB GAINS
 70 LBS. TAKING TANLAC

began taking the medicine regularly and in short time there was a great improvement in my general condition. My appetite increased and l began to feel stronger and gradually take on weight.
 Tn two months time after I began taking Tanlac l had gained twenty pounds and was able to be on the job every day feeling like a different man. In my estimation the Tanlac treatment was the chief factor in bringing me back so quickly to nor nal weight and strength. Tanlac certainly does all they say it will and I keep it on hand all the time as a precaution against relapse. I feel that l would be doing anyone, who is in need of an effectual tonic, a good turn by getting them to try Tanlac.
 So many people everywhere have testified to having used Tanlac with splendid results following influen- "a, grippe, operations, typhoid and pneumonia and other troubles which result in a run down condition, that it has become almost universally recognized as the most powerful re- constructive tonic of the present day Tanlac begins it's work by stirnulat ing the digestive and assmlative organs and. thus. brings back nor nal state of health through it's ef- feet on the appetite and nutrition of the body.
 Tanlac is for sale by all good drug gists. over thirty-five million bot ties sold-Ady

 Fer many months had suffered from stomach and intestinal troubles, which resulted finally. last July, in an operation for appendi- citis.

HARDING II FIGHT FOES OF SHIP BILL IN PUBLIC TALKS
President keenly Disappoint- ed Over Defeat of Measure. To Take Case to the
 People
WASHINGTON BUREAU |
 THE ID : Wa shinpfpu ID C March |

The President does not intend to take his licking regarding ship sub sidy Tying down" When he speaks 10 the people the coming summer, he will talk ship subsidy. Not only will he proceed against those respon- sible for it's defeat, but he will de- fend the bill in it's every section.
 The President has been made to believe. it is understood, that the defeat of subsidy, instead of politi- cal liability. can be made politi- cal asset. He will hold his enemies up as those who opposed the up building of an American merchant marine, and preferred shipping American products to foreign coun- tries in foreign bottoms; as those who denied to American producers that which he knows they most need, markets for their surplus pro duction.
 It IS known positively that the President was more interested in subsidy legislation than any other matter with which his administra- ,ion has been identified At one time. he was so wrought up over the situation that he had an idea that The defeat of subsidy would mark the beginning of this nations de- terioration. Furthermore, the Presi dent was never convinced and has never been convinced that subsidy was unpopular even in inland states.
 Incident of Hnnna's Life.
 To his friends, he related an incl dent which convinced him that every An merican favored merchant ma rine. The incident was based on the effor. of the late Mark Hanna to come Co the Senate of the United States. Hanna, in his speeches, dwelt on William Mckinley, the martyred President This prompted a demo- cratic paper of Cleveland sarcastic ally to declare that Hanna on every occasion was forcing the body of Mckinley to rise from the grave and parade before the public for his selfish benefit.
 At that time Mr Harding was campaigning with Hanna. He in- formed the senator that in his opin ion constant references to Mckin- ley were hurting his cause. Hanna didn't know what to talk about. Harding suggested that he discuss a merchant marine. Hanna took the cue The normal republican majority at that time in Ohio was 35.000 Hanna won by more than 100000
 The President doesn't think tha. there is any difference between the people of inland Ohio and inland Iowa or Montana, or Utah. For that reason, he felt that the people were with him. He still believes that the people are with him. At any rate he will go to the people this summer with the story of subsidy, it's rise and fall.

MEETING TAXES UP MANyD|FFEREMCES IF COTTON TRADE
Exchange, Shippers, Mills and Others Now in Session at Crescent
 City

NEW ORLEANS March 1.-Repre- sentatves of cotton exchanges asso- citations, shippers, mills and others interested in the industry attended sessions of the national cotton con- ference held here today. to iron cut differences ana misunderstanding which now exist within the trade The conference was called by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and will continue through tomorrow.
 Definition of the term "7s to 1-ineh' staple, problem that cotton factors declare has been the source f much trouble, was the first subject taken up after organization of the conference with E. S. Butler, pres ident of the New Orleans exchange, as president. and L. w. Veil of Mont gomery, Ala, as secretary.
 Representative of the United States Bureau of Economies ex- changes, mills and shipping associa- tions led lengthy discussion which culminated in the adoption of mo- tion requesting exchanges te' instruct their arbitration boards that "Hs to 1-inch" staple be interpreted as meaning that no cotton in such a shipment may mea asure less than 7s and that lone shall mea sure more than one inch. Intermediary staples such as 15-16-inch would fall into this classification. The same rule is expected to extend to other sales terms such as T inch te Is - T U = inch to 1i4 -inch,' etc.
 o O O
 Arbitration Provision.
 Among the resolutions adopted at the afternoon session was one provid ing that all arbitrations between shippers and southern mills shall be on the New Orleans Cotton Exchange unless otherwise mutually agreed to by parties tt' the controversy.
 A lengthy discussion took place over the question of rejections by mills where shippers fail to make de- liveries within the specified time. A new rule on this point based largely on the New England rule. was sug- gested to apply southern mills, but a special committee was appointed to redraft the resolution to eliminate certain features that made the rule proposed subject to different inter- pretations. Another resolution that buyers test their weights and scales every three weeks by government weights and standards was passed without opposition.
 There was lengthy debate on the question of mutual weights and the present system of charging extra tare for bagging and ties, many of the delegates contending that bag ging and ties should be eliminated from the weight of cotton bales and that the cotton should be billed at its actual net weights.
