Mrs. Robert 0. Reynolds “I lmve actually gained twenty-live pounds and I just think Tanlac is the grandest medicine in the world,” said Mrs. Robert O. Reynolds. 127 North Denver St., Kansas City, Mo. “For ten long years I suffered from a very bad form of rheumatism, stom ach and nervous troubles. My appe tite was very poor. What little I did eat soured on my stomach and I suf fered the most severe pains in my back, hips and shoulders. My rheu matism was so bnd that I could not raise my hands to comb my hair and jny arms hurt me to my finger tips. I became so weak and run down that I lost all my energy and life had be come almost a burden. 1 tried many things but nothing helped me. "I had only taken my first bottle of Tanlac when I noticed ray appetite was improving and I could sleep bet ter at night. 1 have taken three bot tles and the way it has helped me and built me up is really astonishing. I can eat anything and everything with out tiie slightest disagreeable after effects. I sleep just fine at night and am In better health than I have been for years. 1 am glad to give this statement, hoping that any who are suffering as I did may experience the same wonderful results, which I be lieve they will if they give Tanlac a fair trial.” Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere.—Adv.

Mr. Lansing ’s Book. j --—‘ Pham »ho Nflwv Y«*rU WnrlH It might be said of Robert Lansing's book, “The Peace Negotiations,” that the former secretary of state has writ ten, a volume of 280 pages to demon strate that President Wilson had no sympathy with his opinions, no re spect for his judgment, and used him mainly as an international law clerk. We have read Mr. Lansing's personal narrative with a* sense of utter be wilderment-first, as to why Mr. Wil son took him to Paris, and, second as to why Mr. Lansing went. On the face of the record it was Mr. Lansing's duty to have re signed after the armistice was signed in November, 1918. • * • • Mr. Lansing reveals himself as a foreign minister who was wholly out of sym pathy with the policies and program of his chief—yet he remained secre tary of state, and he accompanied Mr. Wilson to Paris to participate in the negotiation of a treaty of peace toward the principal provisions of which he was confessedly hostile. Having participated in a limited way in the negotiations and regarding the treaty in the form in which it was signed as indefensible, Mr. Lansing returned to the United States to ad vocate the ratification without reser vations—and remained secretary of state. To begin with, Mr. Lansing did not believe in the League of Nations. He rejected the element of force in com pelling the fulfillment of international obligations and retained an ardent faith in the general principal of the j Hague Tribunal. Ten million corpses ! and the ashes of 8300,000,000,000 of ruined property had in no sense weak ened this assurance in the efficacy of a purely legalistic system of in ternational relations. As long ago as May 25, 1916, Mr. Lansing warned Mr. Wilson against the malicious ani mal magnetism of Mr. Taft's League to Enforce Peace, in spite of the fact, as he explained, that he had not had an opportunity to study it carefully; but it was not necessary for Mr. Lansing to study anything carefully in order to warn Mr. Wilson against it. The secretary of state had a single rule of counsel—namely, the worst is yet to come. Mr. Lansing was, of course, opposed to the president’s going to Europe, although if Mr. Wilson remained at home, Mr. Lansing, who was antag onistic to Mr. Wilson’s peace pro gram, would be at the head of the American delegation. Before he had and first hand information about the president’s League of Nations plan he confided to his diary that it was likely to be imDracticable. In Paris Mr. Lansing was impartially dis pleased with everything and every body. Whatever was, was wrong. No sooner does the conference decide to incorporate the covenant of the League of Nations into the treaty of peace than Mr. Lansing convinces himself'that it is necessary to frame - the treaty independently of the cove nant. He sneers at Jan Smuts and Robert Cecil. They are quite as in corrigible as the president. Colonel House annoys him.

I have 4 4 had no other ambition. I have 4 4 thirsted to know things and to 4 4 make the most of them. The uni- 4 verse is to me a grand spectacle 4 4 that fills me with an awe and 4 4 wonder and joy, and with intense ♦ f curiosity. 4 f We are beginning to see that 4 4 money, after all, is not the main 4 4 thing. The real values cannot be 4 4 bought and sold. We are really 4 4 here to be happy and to make 4 4 others happy. It is a great mis- 4 4 sion to live simply and honestly 4 4 with the times. We have got to 4 4 make the most of our time and 4 4 get at the essential things as they 4 4 are now, and any vital idea is 4 4 bound to bring fruit in some way. 4 4 It Is the little voice inside that 4 4 we should hearken to. 4 4 Growing old is a kind of letting 4 4 go. The morning has its delights 4 4 and its enticements, the noon has 4 4 its triumphs and satisfactions, but 4 4 there are a charm and a tranquil- 4 4 ity, and a spiritual uplift about 4 4 the close of the day that belong 4 4 to neither. 4 4 ♦ 4444444444444444444 Out Where the Cactus Blooms. From the Salome <Ariz.) Sun. Salome Is the healthiest place on earth —so restful and . quiet that you might live here for years and never realize how dead you are and then die and never know’ that you had been alive— which comes pretty near being life eter nal The train stops here twice each day —when it goes from Phoenix and when It comes back from Los Angeles. Some folks have wondered why it comes back from Los Angeles, but the engineer's wife has the asthma and lives in Phoe nix—so he comes back. The train stops here because Salome has the only good water for a long ways—and the engine has to have water. The train goes through here because it can't get through tho GranHe Wash mountains without going right through Salome— otherwise some of the natives might not know what a train looks like. When the tram stops some of us buy a paper or an orange from the news butcher. while the rest of us reciprocal inly make faces at tho supercilious and self-satisfied day coach passengers, who make unkind remarks about our town and comment audibly upon its God-for saken appearance—not knowing that we know that most of them come from even smaller and more God-forsaken towns than Salome—and Where the peace and quiet and the scent of desert so make one’s soul content that we should not he surprised some day, if God himself should come this way. Twenty years ago there was no one here, but me- and now there’s folks a living as far as you can see. On some nights when the tourists are thick and the section men all in town and a good game going at Blarney castle, as many as 75 or M) people have been counted here—which is a big increase from noth ing in 20 years. Almost everything grows well here. Squint Eye Johnson built a barn last year and on account of the high price of lumber cvt four big cottonwoodd posts and set them in the greund fc.- the corners, mailing boards on to complete tbe barn, it rained after and the Clemenceau are objectionable per sons. The Italians are bad, but the Japanese are worse. At times Mr. Lansing's pages con vey the impression that the peace conference was little better than a slumming expedition and that really, nice people do not do that sort of thing. He has not faith in a peace of democracy. He rejects irritably the system of mandates. He regards the president's doctrine of "self-de termination” as highly mischievjus, and classifies it with "the consent of the governed" clause in the Decla ration of Independence as something that statesmen are bound to disre gard. He thinks it very dangerous for the president to put such ideas In the mind of certain races. » • • • • Of nothing else is he so sharply crit ical as of Mr. Wilson's final surrender to the Japanese in the Shantung set tlement. Mr. Lansing devotes a chapter to it. and reveals the inter esting fact that the president dele gated to him the task of dissuading the Japanese from insisting on their Shantung demands, and that he failed completely to wring any concessions from them; therefore Mr. Wilson and secret diplomacy were equally to blame. As to his conversation with William C. Bullitt about the general iniquity of the Treaty of Versailles, Mr. Lans ing admits that he said less to Bul litt than to certain other people, but the others respected his confidence. Then Mr. Lansing cpmes home to ad vocate the ratification of the-objec tionable treaty without reservations. When Bullitt revenles the confidential conversation, Mr. Lansing telegraphs a long explanation to the president, who is in the west pleading for the acceptance of the treaty, and his feelings are hurt because the presi dent never acknowledges the receipt of the message. And so Mr. Lansing remains as secretary of state, at vari ance with the president and wholly out of sympathy with the president, until his resignation is finally de manded by Mr. Wilson for reasons the common sense of the country in stantly rejects as trival and incon sequental. Mr. Lansing thinks that he has sup plied the real reasons for his enforced resignation, and we think he has, ex cept for one inportant omission. Ho says never a word about his extraordi nary procedure as secretary of state in reversing the president's Mexican policy at a time when Mr, Wilson lay ill and helpless. In all the narrative there is no reference to the series of notes, each of which was in effect an ultimatum, that had brought the United States to the verge of a war with Mexico, when a stricken presi dent suddenly discovered what was going on and intervened. » • • • The historian who reads Mr. Lans ing's "The Peace Negotiations” will almost instinctively classify it with "McClellan’s Own Story," in which the deposed commander of the Army of the Potomac set out to vindicate himself and ended by proving Lin coln's case against him. corner posts started to grow—and It kept Squint Eye busy all summer nail ing on more boards at the bottom to keep the cows from getting out—and now he has a two-story bam and uses the top story for a hen house. Squint Eye says one more wet year and he will have to buy an alrplano to feed his chickens. Melons don't do very well here be cause the vines grow so fast they wear the melons out dragging them around the ground—and in dry years we some times have to plant onions in between the rows of potatoes and then scratch the onions to make the potatoes’ eyes water enough to irrigate the rest of the garden. Salome has the purest water and the clearest air in the whole world includ ing Texas. Don’t mix Salome with Yuma, where the bad soldier lived, and when he died—well, he sent for his blankets and overcoat. Yes, it was through the streets of Yuma that the coyote chased the jackrabbit—and they were both walking—and it wasn’t more than three figures in the shade at mi<U night, either. Just warm. Westward. From the Milwaukee Journal. At a point near Spencer, In south western Indiana, there are as many per sons northward to the Canadian border as southward to Mexico and the gulf; there are many between you and the Atlantic as in the trebly greater dis tance to the Pacific. And that center of population explains why they call our part of thq country the “middle west." Fourteen times the census has been taken, and always there has been a westward movement. This is natural enough, when one remembers that in 1790 the center of population was close to Baltimore. What is a little strange is that there has not been a variation north or south of 100 miles. The dis tance traveled has varied. The 10 years following 1850 showed a great Jump westward, but the decade that included the civil war marked a slowing down. This is natural; the farther west the median line is drawn, the greater area there is to the east to keep pace in crowding population and industry with the new settlement of the west. A stronger reason is that there Is little new agricultural land in the west. There is much land yet to be reclaimed and made profitable, but there are no great finds of rich areas which do not call for anything but the settler's ax and plow. We are settling down. For nearly 40 years the center of population has been in Indiana, and it will be longer still I crossing Illinois. Our problems cease j to be those of the pioneer settling land j hitherto unused and become those of the ■ scientist making better use of our ter- ' ritory. discovering what regions will best produce certain crops and what new regions can be made available by artificial improvement.
