It's wonderful how soon you
really do improve! Tanlac sails
right in and puts the system I'm

reyitalizes the digestive organs,
gives you an appetite for solid food
and makes you feel like a new

Nothing will turn the trick quite

THE MARCH oF CULTURE

u
Time was that the taffy and chocolate
drops
THAT gladdened our infantiIe hearts
Were made in the Main Street con-
fectioner's shops
As also were strawberry tarts;
But culture and travel of late by de-
Have heightenen the popular prov
And If we have need of such dainties
as these
we go to studio now
Today we still go to the bakers for
bread
And jelly rolls, pastry and cakes
The butcher, dirty white cap on his
still serves us with sausage and
steaks,
But even such od-monging persons
as they
Our culture is bound to soak through,
And we shall discover, on rising some
day,
That they have their studios, too.
The fellow you call when your muscles
get sore
To give you a daily massage,
The apron clad man in the grocery
store,
The husky who runs the garage
The man who calls round once or twice
every year
To put your piano in tune.
And even the rascal who still serves
up beer
win all have their studios soon.
And only us poets, who toll all day
long
! At the loud clicking typewriter keys
Producing with heartbreaking labor a
| song
! And pretending we do il with ease
Must measure up meter and struggle
for rhymes
| And worry and suffer and cuss,
And keep many years in the wake of the
times
| For studios weren't meant for us.

AE Ok
IN RODNEY DUTCHER

WASHTNGTON-A wave of woe
swept over the capital when Queen
Marie announced tha, she would go
home without paying Wash nston
return visit
I4uncheons, receptions, teas, dinners
and all the other varieties Of what
society calls functions were swept
Off the boards amid tears Of dowagera,
Gebutantes, diplomates and Daugh"
ters of the American Revolution.
This was to have been the queens
unofficial visit. Her first passage
through was official, and very sc
lect and official few met her majesty
at that time
one grand blowout was planned
for the days when Queen Marie came
back.
But now the upper crust is in the
same sorrowful boat as the printing
company in Louisville, KY, which
te!egraphed the district commissioners
here telling of "a number of unused
Ruman:an flags four by six feet cot
ton material fast colors we will sci.
at two dollars each about hair selling
price can you use any number on
account Of Queen of Rumnaa's visit
to your city?'
The situation is especially toug3
for little Jean Gretz.ano, daughter
of the newly-arrived Rumanian min
lister, who would have been the Off
cial hostess to her queen had the
latter only fulfilled her schedule.
Sush an honor would have launched
Mile. Gretziano's social career hero
with more impetus than anything else
imaginable, although it must be said
that the young woman probably VIII
90 splendidly in any event
The worst of it is that hardly any,
one seems to believe the queen is
returning on account of King Fer
dinand's health. : There are various
theories, and the favorite one is that
Marie was. annoyed to say the least,
by radical demonstrations against hel
at Chicago and elsewhere. One report
here said that she was to be guarded
against such demonstration at
Cleveland by 1000 armed men. This
sort of thing may have preyed on
the royal nerves
