Tanlac, He Declares.
"Every time I sit down to a Juicy
steak now I give thanks to Tanlac
for taking me off that milk and mush
diet I had to live on for a year," said
Joseph It. Towns, tliu well-known and
popular proprietor of the Sanitary
Meat Market, of Marshall. Mich.
"I had stomach troublo of the
worst sort and was going down hill
so fast I thought I would have to give
up my business. I was so nervous
mid worried I dreaded to see night
come, us It meant little for me and
then In the morning I was so fagged
out I dreaded to go to my market.
"The money I spent for Tanlac wns
the best Investment I ever mude. I
never dreamed a medicine could do
the work It did for me. Three bottles
was all I needed to mnke me as sound
as a dollar, I never felt better or
more like working In my life than I do
right now. I eat anything I want, my
stomach Is In good shape nnd I am
brimful of energy. I sleep all night
without turning over and get up In
the morning as happy as n boy.
"Not only has Tanlac made me feel
fit and fine, but I have -also gained
twenty-five pounds In weight. If any
body wants to know more about what
I think of Tanlac let them come to
me and I will bo glad to tell them.

But a step from lands first nnd
longest known in the history of tho
World Egypt, Bnbylon, Palestine
Arabia remains one of the world's
most unknown regions. And In one
of Its least known corners Is the In
dependent state of Oman. Historically,
politically and geographically, Omun
lias always been lsolnted from the rest
of Arabia. Ever since the days of
the caliphate, so far as communication
with other Arabs Is concerned, Oman
wus practically an Island, with u sea
of water on two sides nnd a sea of
sand the great Arabian desert on
HiA ntlini Aon rounlt tlia nnnnln nrrt
even more primitive In their habits
than the Arabs generally ; and only re
cently have other towns than Muscat,
the capital, opened their eyes to tho
world.
Oman is a relatively narrow strip of
coast, bowed around tho Irregular
eastern tip of Arabia. To the north
west .jt extends hnlf way along the
southern shore of the Persian gulf,
into the hend of which empty the his
toric Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
From there it extends In u crooked,
unbroken strip of vurylng width for
nearly 1,000 miles, Its southwestern
extremity reaching almost to the mid
point of the flaring south shore of
the Arabian peninsula.
The state has an area of 82,000
squaro miles, almost twice that of
Pennsylvania. Although generally ac-
cop ted statistics place the population
at 800,000, Colonel Mlle.l who has
Keen more of the Interior than any
other recent traveler, estimates It at
over 1,000,000. The capital, Muscat,
and the adjoining town of Mutruh,
Lave together about 25,000 Inhabit
ants. The ancient capital, Rostak,
which Is inlnnd, declined, in Impor
tance nftcr the Portuguese, during the
remarkable growth of their colonial
power In the SIxtenth century, pushed
around the Cape of Good Hope and
northward nnd eastward, occupying
Muscat. The Portuguese remained In
possession of this metropolis of Oman
from 1508 until the middle of the Sev
enteenth century.
' Was Almost an Empire.
The conquerors of Oman who gave
it Its present ruling family came from
Yemen on the other side of Arabia,
Ahmed bin Sa'eed, tho leader, cai
tured Muscat In 1741. The present
eultnn and irann, who came to the
throne In 1013, is u descendant of this
Eighteenth century conqueror.
At the beginning of the Nineteenth
century, before Europeun powers had
determined upon the almost complete
parceling out of Africa, Oman was al
most nn empire. It extended over a
large part of Arabia, the Islands to
the north of Arabia In the Persian
gulf, n strip of the southern coust of
Persia, and a strip of the Indian
ocean coast of Africa, from the north
eastern point nenr the entrance to tho
Red sea almost half way to the Cape
of Good Hope. Tills African territory,
including Zanzibar, comprised large
parts of what later became Italian
Soinnllland, British East Africa und
German East Africa. It also Included
the Important Island of Socotra at the
mouth of the Gulf of Aden, now under
British control.
At that time the slave trade was
flourishing, nnd it wns the Arabs of
Oman who explored the great interior
of Africa long before tho days of
Speke and Livingstone. On the death
In 1850 of Oman's "Alexander," the
Sultan Sa'eed, the empire began to
break up, one son becoming sultun of
Zanzibar nnd another sultan of the
Arabian territory. Subsequently all
Asiatic possessions outside Arabia
were lost, except a few Inlands In the
Persian gulf. About this time Oman
came under the virtual protection of
Great Britain through the Indlnn gov
ernment, nnd a British consul und po
litical agent has since been uialu
allied ut Muscat.
and
Its
of Oman.
One of the most picturesque parts
of Oman Is the so-called Pirate coust,
Just within tho grent point of land
which almost closes the mouth of tho
Persian gulf, the sailing ground of Sin-
bad the Sailor. Tills region was a
base of operation for pirates as trou
blesome In the first hulf of the Nine
teenth century of tho Indian nnd
Persian trado as were tho Carib
bean pirate nests to the ships that
piled between Panama and Europe
a century or bo earlier. The Inhabitants
of the Pirate coast were extremely
fanatical as well, which added to their
trouble-making qualities. British gun
boats, with the "assistance of Indian
forces put nn end to the depredations,
and the one-time pirates of this region
have now mostly turned to pearl div
ing for n living.
Trip Through the Country.
A Journey from the Pirate coast
across the base of the great point of
Oman to Sohr or some of the adjucent
ports, a trip of about 100 miles, gives
ah excellent Idea of the back country
of this little-known state. Caravans
making this trip usually travel at night
and rest under whatever shade muy
be found during the day. On the sec
ond day one passes villages and culti
vated fields nnd at night sleeps sur
lounded by thousands of sheep and
goats, driven In by Bedouin lasses
from their mountain pastures. Even
among these shepherds one finds read
ers, and colporteurs sell books wher
ever the camels halt long enough to
strike a bargain. In entering tho
narrow pass of nitta, the guides go
ahead mounted, with rifles' louded and
cocked.
Travelers are not troubled with the
heat nt night, but during the duy it
Is Intense, nnd It Is refreshing to como
to nn oasis (common In tills part of
Oman), where water bursts from a big
spring, and trees and flowers grow In
luxury, . In tho mountainous parts of
Omnn the roads run almost Invariably
along the wndy beds; sometimes theso
are sandy water courses; again deep,
rocky ravines or broad, fertile valleys.
Vegetation genernlly Is tolerably abun-
dant Tamarisks, oleanders, euphor
bias, and acacias are the most com
mon trees and shrubs.
Some of It Unexplored.
Although some travelers have
reached the edge of tho Oman desert,
all the country beyond Is still largely
terra incognita. No one has ever made
the Journey beyond Uie range of moun
tains or solved tho myBtery of west
ern Oman, which Is still a blank on
the best maps ; nor Is anything known
of the land 100 miles southwest of
Muscat save by Arab hearsay.
The most populous hnd fertile dis
trict of the highlands of Oman is Jebel
Akhdar, which Is also the best known.
The fertility of this region Is wonder
ful nnd in striking contrast with the
barren rocks of so large a part of the
coast. With a seml-troplcul cllmute,
an elevation of 8,000 to 5,000 feet, and
abundant springs, the wadya aud
oases of Oman have awakened the de
light and amazement of every traveler
who has ventured to explore them.
Water, tho one priceless treasure In
nil Arabia, hero issues in perennial
streams from many rocky clefts, and
is most corcfully husbanded by the In
genuity of the people for wide irriga
tion by means of canals or water
courses called faluj.
Except along the PIrute coast the
Arabs of Omun are remarkably free
from fanaticism, simple In their habits,
and wonderful in their hospitality.
Most of them belong to the Abadht
wet, which has many beliefs In com
mon with Christianity.
