625,000 BOTTLES

Biggest Thing of Kind Ever Seen in
That State, Declares Big
Wholesaler.
The fact that 625,000 bottles of Tan
lac have been sold in the state ol New
York since Its, Introduction there less
than one year ago, is a big business
Item that will attract unusual atten
tion throughout the entire East, for
nothing like It has ever happened be
fore. It breaks all records.
Mr. George B. Evans, manager of
the Gibson-Snow Company, the well
known wholesale druggists, with
branches in Albany, Buffalo, Roches
ter and Syracuse, recently announced
that the preparation was now selling
In their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate of approximately 500,
000 bottles a year.
"If the present rate continues,” said
Mr. Evans, “this rate alone will prob
ably require considerably over 750,000
bottles a year. This Is a tremendous
figure, but I am really conservative in
making this statement.”

William G. Shepherd, in Leslie'* Weekly.
There is a federal law against Ku Klux Klanlsm. It w*l passd In
1871 after congress had Investigated the white riders and their activities.
This law calls night riding "rebellion." It makes it a "high crime” to
“go upon the highways or upon the premises of another with the in
tent to deprive any person of the protection of the law; to hinder state
authorities from providing such protection; to impede the course of jus
tice in any manner.”
President Grant was, and other presidents likewise are, authorized
by this law to employ the army and navy, if necessary, to restore order
in any state where "rebellion" exists, if the authorities fail to protect
citizens from offenses of marauders. The president may suspend the
writ ot habeas corpus in any state where local officials cannot preserve
the peace against “rebellion." No person may act as a Junior in a case
against a member of the forbidden "combination or conspiracy” who
cannot swear that he has not been a member of the organization. All
cases, under the law, are to be tried in federal courts. Any person who
has knowledge that an offense is committed, and does not notify the
authorities, can be fined $5,000, the money to go to the widow, or next of
kin, of the person losing hts life in "such outrage.”
The penalty for Ku Klux Klanlsm, though the law does not specific
ally mention the Ku Klux Klan, is a fine of from $500 to $5,000; im
prisonment, with or without hard labor, for six months to Bix years. In
jured persons mav also collect damages from the guilty parties.
Give me a cable from Atlantic, Ga.,
to Moscow or to Rome, and I will
prove, in a few days, to newspaper
reading Russians or Italians or any
other folks where the cable leads, that
certain portions of the United States
are uncivilized places, regions of hor
rors.
When I was in Russia, a man who
owned a flour mill was awakguefl at
night in his home by peasants whose
flour he had ground for many years
and dragged into the yard; where he
was stripped and whipped within an
inch of his life. Then he was driven
out of the village. Hundreds and
thousands of such cases occurred in
Russia, and the press reports of these
incidents have caused the. vast ma
jority of Americans to believe Russia
utterly uncivilized.
While I was in Italy, a poet named
D’Annunzio took it into his head to
supersede his government, and to
carry out what, he thought, were the
rights of Italy. He reigned with
bloodshed and terror. While he was
in power, the Italian government was
the laughing stock of the world, and
none of the nations would make any
treaties or pacts with her, until she
had shown her power over IJ’Annun
zio. Newspaper reports of the "carry
ings-on” of D’Annunzio caused the
world to doubt the quality of Italy’s
civilization. Italy herself finally put
herself right in the eyes of the world
by crushing D’Annunzio.
If you were to place a Russian or
an Italian correspondent in some of
the states in our country today, and
tell him to find the sort of stories that
I sought for in Russia or Italy in
1917 and 1918, he would have as easy
a time as I had in getting the news
he wanted—and, what's more, he
would be able to create, in the minds
of his distant readers, an impression
of the United States that would cause
Russians or Italians to look on the
place with hoTror.
In other words, there are districts
of the United States today as lawless,
and as liable to witness horrible hap
penings, as any district in Russia or
Italy or upset Germany or topsy
turvy Poland or any other European
land which we Americans look on as
suffering from after war lawlessness.
And this lawlessness, strange to say,
is being committed not by Illiterate
and misused peasants, by bolshevlsts
or by the paid soldiers of a mad poet;
but by alleged good citizens of the
middle classes, strangely moved to an
alleged desire to enforce law by tak
ing the law into thqjr own hands.
In one of the great new towns of
Texas recently, I sat in a magnificent
restaurant where a body of business
men were holding a noon day lunch
eon. The citizen with whom I was
lunching lowered his voice and said
to me. "At least one third of those
men belong to the Ku Klux Klan.”
“What?” I said. "Do you actually
mean to say that your best business
men belong to the Klan?”
"Oh, not our best,” he said. "Not
our gentlemen. Only the brutal ones,
who got the idea, during the war,
what with the Liberty loan drives and
the spy hunts, and so forth, that they
were the saviors of the community.”
The long and short of the matter Is
that an organization which calls It
self the Ku Klux Klan is "riding”
again in the south. Good citizens are :
protesting against its outrages; the
press of the south is almost solidly
against its activities; state legisla
tors are passing laws against it;
and officers of the law are doing their
best to run down its various Ideal :
membership, It is thriving with dif- i
ficulty in many communities; and yet,
if we are to trust the word of its
officials, it is growing in member- :
ship, both north and south, at the
rate of 5,000 members a week.

In the south, about the old Ku Klux
Klan, which played a large part not
only in the history of the south but
In the history of the United States,
jhows that this organization "R’hlch is
holding forth in certain southern
states—though not all—and which Is
said to be gathering a heavy mem
bership in the north, is not the old
Ku Klux Klan. The purpose of the
Ku Klux Klan was to help the whites
regain control of the social order at
i time when all the slaves of .the
south had been set free. The men
in the white robes often represented
themselves to the ignorant and sup
erstitious negroes as the ghosts of
Confederate soldiers who had been
killed In the war. The real Ku Klux
Klan worked for a psychological ef
fect, and a physical effect.
But—and here Is the point on which
the movement of today hinges—the
leaders among the Ku Klux Klan tof
those days found that the movement
was getting out of their control. They
pfficially disorganized in 1869 the
Klan which had been first organized
n Pulaski, Tenn., In 1867. Loyal
members of the Klaa tore up their
white robes, destroyed their records
tnd formally disbandad the organiza
tion. Yet white-robed night riders
continued to ride. They made full
use of all the paraphernalia of the
Klan. But physical rather than psy
chological punishment was their aim,
and only too often their object was
not to perform punishment but to
commit outright crime.
After congress had gleaned all the
facts President Grant, 19 daya after
his Inauguration In 1871, sent a mes
sage to congress, In which he declared
that federal government mail carrier*
ind federal government revenue col
lectors were going In danger of their
lives in some pf the seuthern states,
because ef the alleged Klansmen, and
he asked legislation. Congress Im
mediately passed a law known aB tho
"Ku Klux Klan Act,” putting all
cases of Klan outrages Into the feder
al Instead of the local courts. This
law of ApTll, 1871, was effective. It
killed Klanism.
But now, after half a century, we
have the white-robed men with us
again. This 20tii century Ku Klux
Klan has its headquarters in Atlan
ta, Ga. The Grand Wizard, at this
writing, is William Joseph SimmonB.
Simmons makes no secrecy of his po
sition or authority. He deplored the
criticism which the press of the coun
ty was directing toward the Ku Klux
Klan, and Insisted that all the aims
of the Klan were honorable and pa
triotic and legal. In fact, his state
ment read exactly like statements
which were issued by the real Ku
Klux Klan leaders 60 years and more
ago, when they discovered that the
Klan had run away fro» them and
that they could no longer control Its
activities or keep Its members or
pseudo-members from terrifying the
pountryside. Shortly after issuing
statements like Simmons, tho lead
ers disbanded the order In 1869.
The aims and objects of the new
prder resound with fine declarations
pf Americanism. These, if carried out
n legal fashion, would undoubtedly
nake the United States a better place
n which to live. But it is the diffi
culty of forcing the Klansmen to act
n legal fashion which gives the new
novement a sinister aspect.

perial wizard can mete out to an or

Shoestring Remedy for Colds.
From the Gateway Magazine.
The next time you feel that you are
catching a cold, stoop over and tie your
shoe. While you are at it you might as
well tie both shoes. Loosen the strings
and make a good Job of the tlelng. The
principle of the shoestring remedy is
that in stooping over the blood is
brought to the head and the circulation
is otherwise favorably affected. Where
there is perfect blood circulation there
is immunity from the taking of cold.

Some More Truths.
W31JLI> you use a steam shovel to move a pebble? Certainly not. Implements

Would you use a grown-up’s remedy for your baby’s ills? Certainly not.
Remedies are prepared according to the work THEY have to do.
All this is preliminary to reminding you that Fletcher’s Castoria was sought
out, found and is prepared solely as a remedy for Infants and Children. And let
this be a warning against Substitutes, Counterfeits and the Just-as-good stuff that
may be all right for you in all your strength, but dangerous for the little babe.
All the mother-love that lies within your heart cries out to you: Be true to
Baby. And being true to Baby you will keep in the house remedies specially
prepared for babies as you would a baby's food, hairbrush, toothbrush or sponge. j

Children Cry For
Are You Prepared?
A doctor in the house all the time would be a good idea. Yet you
'can’t afford to keep a doctor in the family to keep baby well or pre
vent sickness. But you can do almost the same thing by having at
hand a bottle of Fletcher’s Castoria, because it is a wonderful remedy
for indigestion, colic, feverishness, fretfulness and all the other dia.
orders that result from common ailments that babies have.
Fletcher’s Castoria is perfectly safe to use. It is a harmless sub
stitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Children
cry for Fletcher’s Castoria, and mothers recommend it because they
have found it a comfort to children and a mother’s friend.
If you love your baby, you know how sweet it is to he able to
help baby when trouble comes. You cannot always call upon a doctor.
But doctors have nothing but good to say of Fletcher’s Castoria, be
cause they know that it can only do good — that it can’t do any harm —
and they wouldn’t want you to use for baby a remedy that you would
use for yourself.

Do you discriminate at the dining
table—or are you thoughtless?
In thousands of homes,
a “line” is drawn at the
breakfast table. Tea or
coffee is served for
“grown-ups” and Postum
for children. But some
parents do not discrimin
ate. Caffeine and tannin,
the injurious contents of
coffee and tea, seriously
retard the development of

Consequently, instead
of rich, satisfying Postum,
children are over stimu
lated by the drugs in tea
and coffee; and so may
grow up irritable and
nervous. Any doctor can
tell you that this is a
great evil and should be
corrected.
Although some par
ents feel a certain justifi
cation for the personal
indulgence in coffee, yet
the harm to them may
be equally serious. It
' may take a little while
longer for the drugs in
coffee and tea to affect
an older person, but in
many eases the nervous
system and allied bodily
functions will become
weakened. The surest
way to avoid such pos
sibilities is to quit coffee
entirely and drink Postum
instead. The change per
mits you to get sound,
restful sleep.
Postum is the well
known, meal-time bever
age. Like thousands of
others you will like it be

much like a high-grade
coffee. ^
Do away with the dis

Serve delicious Postum,

it is likely that you’ll never
