MRS. GUSSlE E. HANSEN.

Mrs. Gussie e. Hansen, of GIG West
52nd Street, is now numbered with the
multitude of Los Angeles men and
women who have realized the wonder
full merits Of Tanlac. In relating her
experiences, Mrs. Hansen said:
ut is wonderful what Tanlac will do
for one suffering from stomach trou-
BILE, nervousness and rundown con-
dition. I have tried it,
Before taking the treatment every
thing 1 ate disagreed with me so that
| actually dreaded to sit down to the
table. Isuffered from constipation, had
awful pains across my back, and was so
nervous and run down 1 was in mis-
cry all the time.
"Tanlac was helping so many
others l thought it might help me, too,
and it certainly has. Why, my appe-
tite is just splendid, and my stomach
is in such good order I eat to my
hearts content. My back doesn't
bother me any more, and 1 sleep like
child at night. I can't say too much
for Tanlac"

New York Homes-Rich
CIubmen Suspected.

New York, May 12.-Existence In
this city OF a vicious band of well-to-do
clubmen who have specialized for
nearly ten years in sending to wealthy
and socially prominent persons sour
rilous letters attacking their relatives
and friends was disclosed by District
Attorney Banton, after news of the
indictment of George Maxwell, presi-
dent of the American Society of Com
posers, Authors, and Publishers, had
leaked out.
Activities of the band-or of Max
well alone, assisted by men who may
unwittingly have aided him by post
ing his letters, Mr.. Banton is not yet
sure-have resulted in one or more
suicides, the disruption of at least
nine homes, and the Incarceration in
private insane asylums or the Danish
ment of several persons whose fam
lilies were misled by the circumstantial
nature of the stories concerning them.
The district attorneys office already
has obtained possession of 157 of the
scurrilous letters, and more than 100
persons have been questioned by the
grand jury, which indicted Maxwell,
and which is still being held for fur
Their developments.
The Investigators lay one Of the
greatest scandals of years is impend-
ing and that the revelation of the
names of those in ''the gang, and Of
its victims will startle the country.

Every Class of Labor Is
Needed, Says U. S. Report

Washington, May 16.-The Depart
ment of Labor, in a report on indus
trial employment conditions Of the
country for April 30, declares that
there is little unemployment any
where. Increased demands for all
glasses of skilled labor, skilled me-
chanics, and farm hands were found
TO be general during the month of
April.
THE predicted shortage of compe-
tent farm labor is a fact," the report
says, "and in many sections of the
country the farming interests are be-
fng hampered. A large percentage of
the public employment offices report
that it will soon be impossible to meet
the growing demand for labor"

pax of Deep siunificance.

More than double significance which
attaches to Memorial day in 1923 grows
out of the memories and experiences
of the past. 1t long ago was realized
that we do the dead but small serv-
ice if we but place flowers on their
graves and are content with that. The
living comrades of those who fought
and died were stirred by the memories
of the occasion to new resolutions to
make these sacrifices worth while, and
the extent to which their example has
been followed by all citizens has been
the measure of the profit that has been
derived from observance Of the day.

President Acts to Hold
Tariff Rates Under Control

Washington, May IL. = President
Harding is determined that there shall
be no general upsetting of tariff rates
fixed by the Fordney-1acC umber act.
In a letter to w. It. Wakeman, treas

President sets at rest the fears of GER
tain elements in the business world
that prosperity might be interfered
with through tariff changes under the
flexible provisions of the law.

Capital City Has
WorthiIy Honored
The Nations Great

It is the great number of federal
statues and structures which strike the
visitor as making Washington differ
ent from any other city. Many of these
bronze statues are of the heroic figures
of the Civil war, Union generals and
admlralS, many of them equestrian
statues, on comparatively small gran
lite bases. Some of the older of these
have been criticized by artists as rather
commonplace. Undoubtedly the arts
tic taste of the people has advanced
during the last generation, resulting
about twelve years ago in the creation
by congress Of a fine arts commission
charged with the duty of passing upon
all statues, structures and public
works of art and their erection. This
has brought about marked improve
ment in both the selection of design
and subjects, and their appropriate
placement with reference to the future
development of Washington, which it
is the hope of every one will eventual
ly become the most beautiful city in
the world. The improvement is seen in
the removal last year from Dupont cir
Gle of standing bronze statue of Adj
miral Dupont, of Civil war fame, and
the erection in its place of an exquisite
memorial fountain with bronze bas-
relief of the admiral. Early in April
a memorial was dedicated to General
Meade, commander of the Army of the
Potomac and the hero of Gettysburg
the turning point in the Civil war. The
group of which the great warrior in
full military uniform is the central fig
ure includes also figures representing
Military Courage, Energy. Fame, 10y
atty, Chivalry and Progress. The
Meade memorial is the gift of the state
of Pennsylvania.
General Grant Statue.
Another great memorial is the heroic
statue of Grant which was dedicated
with military and civic honors and a
great procession of 10000 soldiers and
members of organizations marching in
line. This memorial had been building
since 1902 at cost of more than $780,
600, and it ranks as one of the greatest
OF war memorials of the world The
grim figure of the Union commander
in-chief sits his horse in characteristic
attitude on lofty pedestal, 40 feet in
height, flanked by lions, and further to
the right and left by two heroic groups
of subordinate statuary, the fighting
arms of the great army, the cavalry
and the artillery. The height of the
bronze horse and the figure of Grant
is IL feet, and its weight is 10000
pounds. With one exception, it is the
largest equestrian statue in the world,
yet so perfect are the proportions of
the entire group that it appears entire
ly natural. One can study for hours
the grim grandeur of the Grant statue
and the spirit of war as portrayed in
the plunging horses of the cavalry
group and the tremendous action de-
picted in the artillery charge, and mar
vel at the achievement.
ScuIptor's Great Work.
The Grant memorial has been the
lifework of the sculptor, Henry Mer-
win Shrady. His father, Dr. George F.
Shrady, had been the attending physi-
clan upon General Grant during his
last illness, and out of this personal ac-
