not hurt you, and it certainly ends the
torture at once.
When you are suffering so you can
hardly get around, just try Red Pepper
Rub, and you will have the quickest re-
lief known. Nothing has such concen-
trated, penetrating heat as red peppers.
Just as soon as you apply Red Pep
per Rub you will feel the tingling heat.
In three minutes it warns the sore spot
through and through. Pain and Sore

YEAR IS PROFITABLE.
TO TANLAC COMPANY
Sales Of Medicine Now Passed
Forty-Million Bottle Mark,
Laboratories Announce

ATLANTA, Ga, February "a
international ProprIetaries, Inc.
manufacturers and distributors Of
Tanlac. announced today that the
year just closed was one of the
most profitable ones in the history
of the company. At the same time
they announced that the sales OF
Tanlac had passed the 40 Million
bottle mark.
Executives of the company at
tribute the great success Of Tan!ac
to three things: Merit of the tonic,
cooperation on the part of whole
sale and retail druggists, and t con-
sistent advertising campaign, the
greater part of which was concen-
trated in newspapers.
During the past four years thli
company has spent over $1,000
/ 600 per year in advertising. Plans
| for 1924 call for an increased ap
preparation. Additional news pap
err space will be used and additional
papers added to the list of 7,00C
now used.
Tanlac was first introduced in
America over eight years. ago. j
| Immediately attracted attention as
recoAstructive stomach tonic anc
the demand was phenomnal from
the first. Gradually Tanlac was
introduced into every state in the
union and to Canada, Mexico, Cuba
and Porto Rico.
During the latter part of the
year three manufacturing labora-
tories have been erected in South
America to care for the business
there. These are in addition tc
plants operated in America, Canada
| and Mexico.
"The year just closed has been
most successful one for our Com
pany," said D. R. Willard, Vice
President and General Manager.
eve attribute the record breaking
year to three principles; The
proven, merit of our tonic; the
splendid cooperation of our job
bers, and the retail druggists who
recognize that it pays to handle
advertised goods, and last but not
least, to a systematic advertising
campaign. We are firm believers
in newspaper advertising and the
great bulk of our appropriation was
spent for newspaper space. We use
some 1000 newspapers in this cou;i-
try and Canada at present"
eve have recently completed a
survey of business cond tions
throughout the country and believe
that 1924 will be a prosperous year,
not only for our company, but for

railroad capitalization, and about Is per cent of the great public
utilities, such as gas and water works, electric light and power

THE VALUE or A NAME

New YOrk.-The sale of the
WooIworth buildino last week for
| 81 100000 revealed more than the
actual market value Of the prop
erty. 1t brought to. light some
sidelights on the value of the
name.
When the giant building was
completed in 1912 it's renting
agents had a very difficult time TO
find tenants to fill its fifty-nine
floors. The name Woolworth was
assoc lated only with 5 and 1O-cent
tore Nd Zig concerns did not
wish 10 have their nInres associat
ed with il. Despite the fact that
| the new structure was the last
word in skyscrapers and located at
Broadway and Park place the rent
ing agents had to make unusual
concessions to every party to fill
the building.
As the president of one concern
WHOA occupied suite OF offices on
one Of the upper floors, told me:
I'VE didn't want to have the name
Woodwork on our letterheads for
we didn't want to give that impress
sion to our business connections
around the country. But we were
able to get a long lease at such d
low rental that we waived our
prejudices. Today we are paying
$21 900 a year for offices we were
paying $1,000 only two or three
years ago Why? Because after
the building was made famous
throughout the world its name be-
came an asset instead of lia5il-
| itv The Woolworth building is
known everywhere not only as the
tali&st but the most beautiful build
ing in the world and so it's owners
are able to get the rentals that
will bring them profitable per-
centage on their investment. A
name that ten years ago was a
great handicap is now a tremend-
Gus asset"
1t was generally supposed that
the Woolworth building was worth
SIS 100000 for ii is assessed at
$i1,250, 900. But its sale for $4,-
100000 cash and the balance on
straight five years first mortgage
notes, carrying 5la per cent inter
est. is the best answer to any ques-
ton about its value.-Clevelanti

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CONTINUED

Jack was silent a moment after
he had made the comment on mod
ern women, and then he asked:
81 wonder if it has made for
greater happ ness?'
"Not for the man, jack" | an
swered quickly, because his will he
finds is not now supreme. Woman
has grown into something more than
possession. She must have voice
in her own life, and its direction.
With one of thoc sudden changes
that always surprise me in Jack he
said with a laugh:
'"Well, I'll have to be very careful
how l treat you, my lady. | would
probably find you more implacable
than Harry has Ruth. Come on,
let's go and see the kid"
Little Jack had been asleep when
Jack came home to dinner, and he
had not seen the baby since his re-
turn.
Is there anything more beautiful
than sleeping child? It's limo.
scence, it's helplessness, and its po-
tentialites appeal to you most at
that time.
Jack bent over the bed and laid
his hand softly upon little Jacks
damp curls. The baby stirred a bit
in his sleep, then opened his eyes
wide and I swear a look of recog-
milton came into his eyes. He raised
his little arms uncertainty; then
trey fell back and he dropped asleep
again. -.'"''
Jack turned to me and threw his
arms about me.
Il am the happiest man in all the
world, my dear"
