“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.”

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. Lloyd George and

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.
