My tite Is splendid; I enjoy my meals and I do not find it necessary now to take any laxative medicines of any kind. I can sleep much better and am not nearly so nervous. "I take great pleasure In mending Tanlac to anyone who needs a good system builder, or who suffers with stomach trouble.

New York.--America bai tally maintained her leadership In the navigation of the air, so far aa heavier than air craft are concerned, despite the lack of aerial laws, landing fields and other such handicaps, according to a review of tbe year 1920, issued by the Manufacturers' Aircraft association. The review says: % "Decreased production and a general contraction in the aeronautical Industry generally Is offset by tbe more encouraging records of performance made in American aviation this year. While the last twelve months have not brought the carefully outlined policy of federal jurisdiction quired to assure steady and economical progress In commercial aviation, they have witnessed many remarkable achievements by American pilots In American machines." Year's Performances. Then follows a long, detailed list of performances, among them the following : "Commander A. C. Read, hero of the transatlantic flight in the NC-4, commanded the same flying boat on a noteworthy expedition from Rockaway, L. L, down the Atlantic coast along the gulf coast and up the Mississippi river to Cairo, III. When the NC-4 returned to Rockaway January 27 last it bad flown 7,740 nautical miles. Three of the four Packard Liberty engines had operated without trouble during the 118 hours in tbe air, the fourth more than eighty-twe hours. Along the Mississippi the motors were run on commercial gasoline picked up from point to point en route. Read reported that the greatest difficulty encountered was lack of proper maps. "Compared to long-flight attempts conducted by European governments the American ventures were particularly successful. No less than four expeditions attempted to fly the 5,206 miles from Cairo te^Capetown. South Africa. Colonel P. Van Ryndveld and Major C. J. O. Brand finally completed their flight on March 20, 1920, in a DLi-9 plane sent up by the government of the Union of South Africa after their Vickers-Vimy machine had crashed. They had set out from Cairo February 10. None of the machines that started reached Capetown. "Different success attended the Alaskan flying expedition of the United States Army Air service. Four Gallaudet remodelled DH-4-B planes, each powered with a single Liberty motor, and each carrying two persons flew from Mltchel Field, L. I., to Nome, Alaska, and return in 112 hours flying time, a total distance of 9,000 miles, without a motor missing fire or other accident serious enough to delay the party. Rain and fog caused most of the difficulty In flying over country not even charted on the maps. Operation of Air Mail 8ervioe. "The Air Mail in 1920 operating between New York and Washington, New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Omaha, Salt Lake City and San Francisco, transported approximately one hundred million letters at ordinary postage rates. The system was extended in 1920 from Chicago to San Franclsco, from Key West, Fla. to Havana, Cuba, and from Seettle, Wash., to Victoria, B. C. About thirty-five air mall planes are In the air each day flying a total, (a round trips, of about 8,000 miles. "During tbe year the navy has been making an aerial survey of the Panama Canal zone. "The geological survey has cooperated with the marine corps in mapping the coastline of Hayti. American seaplanes, Curtlss, Aeromarlne and Boeing types, have operated on passenger rhutes in China. "Major R. W. Schroeder, flying an American designed and built Packard- Lepero biplane, went up from McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, on February 26, and reached the world's record altitude of 33,000 feet."

Chicago.--At a lecture given before an aseemblage of geographers and biologists representing several societies, Dr. D. T. MacDougal, director of the Botanical research department of the Carnegie Institution at Washington, described the results of a series of experiments extending over fourteen yesrs and embracing 139 species of plants, the experiments tending to show that the wild plant Is not always found In the environment most suited to it "A great many people think tills." said Dr. MacDougal, "but it has been found to be absolutely false." Qrow Mors Luxuriantly. With stations established at four different altitudes, 8.000 feet, 5,200 feet, 2,300 feet and at sea level, plants have been transferred from one place to another, and the results of the cultural experiments of fourteen, years have new been complied. In these experiments plants from tbe mountain tops, some from a height of close to one and one-half miles above sea level, were found to grow much more luxuriantly, producing more leaves, flowers and fruit a at sea level than they had In their native habitat. These plants were not cultivated, protected or fostered In any way in their new situations. Once placed, they were to all intents and purposes wild flowers and had to flght their own battles and take chances as before. One hundred and thirty-nine plants were used In these experiments, embracing forms of such wide divergence aa grasses, wild lilies and oak and walnut trees, as well as cacti and ether unusual plants. "While a plant may thrive well In ilts new situation," said Dr. M&cDou- |gal, "It will sometimes display a behavior quite at variance with that by which It is ordinarily known. Thus the common wltchhazel, which is known to bloom In the vicinity of New York when the frosts come, when taken to the equitable climate of the Pa clfic coast reverts to the normal or summer-blooming habit. Other species show dower forms, fruits and leaves notably different from those previously displayed by them. "Aquatic plants of the cress family were made to grow In coll on the mountain tops, where the roots formed small radishes, like their relatives The radish Is a cress. In other words, these plants came back to the ancestral habit of forming a radish. Interest to Biologists. •*The manner In which plants {ravel about the world or are distributed Is a problem of great Interest to biologists. and in this experimental worki particular attention was given to obtaining evidence on some of the problems of dissemination or movement of plants across the face of tr.e country." It was found that rabbits and rodents which Inhabit the oak cone at the top of the mountain -ange acted very effectively as a barrier to prevent cacti and other plants from moving up or down the mountain slopes. To verify this a barrage sine was established and the plants protected In screened enclosures which kept off the little nibbling animals. The plants thrived and prospered end spread within the enclosed section. Out In the open, to either side of the barrage zone, they rapidly disappeared, being eaten by the r«bblts. This explained the mysterious sudden stoppage of some of these plants--not altitude nor heat nor cold, but actual destruction through being eaten. The animals were like a fence. The coastal laboratory at Carmelby- the-Sea and the desert laboratory at Tucson, Arts., are two of the experimental stations which were used In this work. ' .v. MERRY SEX WAR ON Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Throes of Controversy. Plate Printers' Union Charge* That There Are Too Many "Trifling OlrlsP* In the Bureau. Washington.--A merry sex war Is In progress In Unds Sam's money factory. The war started when the Plate Printers' union in the bureau of engraving and printing made formal charges that there were too many "trifling girls" In the bureau and that they were retarding the efficiency and the amount of production of paper money. In their charges tbe plate printers Intimated that too much time was spent by girls employed In the bureau to administering "little dabs of paint and powder." In fact It was Intimated that the plate printters objected to "flappers'* being employed la the bureau. The plate printers let themselves In tUt trouble. Federal Employees' Union No. 106, embracing the women employees of the bureau, at an indignation meeting, condemned the attitude of the plate printers, denied their charges and deplored their giving publicity to what they alleged to -be a misstatement of facts. Miss Gertrude McNsIly, secretary of the union, declared that the records of tbe examining division showed that the greatest percentage of spoilage of printers' work Is for "slywipes," "lifts" and "breaks," which spoilage could ln«no way be attributed to the assistants. "Plate printers are paid by the piece rate and In many Instances tbe presses are speeded up for production at the expense of tbe quality of the work," Miss McJSally stated.

" "V-;- at That. Port au Prince.--There Is ho'tflgh labor market In Haiti. The man working , by the day gets one gourde, which la 20 cents, and sometimes a gourde and a half. Oooks are to be had without advertising. Most of them earn 11.50 a week, and in addition get 6 cents a day on which to feed themselves and their flock. You do not have to include carfare In the weekly wage down here. At some points in the interior wages for cooks sre even lower. Many of them live In mahogany houses, at that. Haiti's population Is estimated around 2.500.000. Nlnetyeeven per cent of these people are classed as Illiterate, which may account for the size of the pay envelope.
