'"Thanks to Tanlac, I am a well woman again after years of suffering." said .Mrs. Lucia Francis of 6327 41st ave. Southwest, Seattle, Wash., recent ly. Mrs. Francis has lived in Seattle for the past 20 years. 'For years I suffered terribly with stomach trouble and rheumatism." con tinued Mrs. Francis. -It seemed like everything I ate fermented in my stom ach and kept me in misery, until I final ly got to where I had to practically give up eating anything solid and lived mostly on boiled milk and toast, but even the little I did eat just seemed to lie in my stomach without digesting and the pain X endured at times was something awful. I often bloated up terribly with gas and- my heart would palpitate so at times I simply gasped for breath. My kidneys were also in bad condition and I suffered constantly with such a terrible pain in my back and sides that I can't begin to describe it. I was awfully nervous, too, and didn't know what a good night's sleep was and sometimes I almost dreaded to go to bed, because I just knew from the pain I was in that I would simply lie there and suffer. I also had rheu matism in my arms, shoulders and knees so badly I could hardly drag myself around and for weeks at a time I wasn't able to do a bit of my house work. I was so stiff and ached so much sometimes I actually couldn't stoop over to pick up anything and many a time when I tried to raise my arms to comb my hair I would almost cry with the pain. "I tried all kinds of things to get some relief, but nothing I did or took seemed to help me a particle and then I decided to try Tanlac, because I had read so much about it, and it has cer tainly done a lot for me. My stomach is in such good condition now I can eat just anything and everything I want and enjoy every mouthful, too, and I am never troubled a particle with pain in my stomach or bloating or gas. Every bit of the pain in my back and sides is gone and when I go to bed now I fall asleep before I know it, and when I get up in the morning I feel rested and refreshed and ready for my housework and also ready for my breakfast, and it is no boiled milk breakfast, either, but a good substan tial meal. The rheumatism has left my arms, shoulders and knees and I can use my limbs as freely a3 I ever could. just feel so fine in every way that am more than thankful I am able to make this statement and certainly hope t wtll be the means of helping others to find relief from their trouble." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. STORES SOLD LAST OP BILLION" DOLLARS WORTH OF SUPPLIES IN' SIGHT. Major-Gcticral J. C. Riddle Expects to Close Out Quartermasters De partment in England by Aug;. 1. LONTON. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The last of th billion dollars" worth of stores pur chased by the American army in Eng land will have been disposed of on August 1 in the opinion of Major-Gen eral J. C. Riddle. The American army headquarters were closed June 15 and only a small contingent of the quarter master's department remained to co operate with the liquidation commis ion in adjusting a few remaining con tracts and selling supplies. Conse quently by August the army will cease to have a war interest in England. "immediately the armistice was signed we began to cancel and adjust contracts and in this work had such hearty co-operation from the British war office that the United States ha been able to clear up its contracts verj advantageously, said General Biddle "Only a few of them remain to be adjusted. "The last propprty on hand consisted largely of aviation, engineer and ord nance stores. It was not deemed ad visable to dispose of it too quickly and finally it was arranged that auction salrs of all that was not disposed ol privately should begin the latter part of June. There was demand for most of the material and our early inquiries indicated that good prices would be obtained and also that we would have little difficulty in getting rid of every thing1 w c had. "1 want to lay emphasis upon the hospitality shown by the English peo pic toward tne American soldier now that I am going home. Wo have been entertained and looked after officially and unofficially. The special commit- te of the ministry of information which pro video entertainment at camp wild for men on lave vied with tho American organizations in making lif pleasant, and the real spirit of hos pitality was emphasized by the grea number of English families residing neat American centers of activities who made strange American soldiers wel come in their homes." Rev. A. G. Magee, a staunch opponent. of the scheme. Clergymen joined with laymen antf women in hissing, booing and cheering: according to the side they took. To admit women to the priesthood. Rev. Mr. Magee declared, "would b revolution, not an evolution. They cannot have a revolution of that char acter until th whole church has eet its seal upon it and God has approved of it." Hissing and cries of "shame!" greet ed his discussion of the moral relation ships likely to rise etween men jtnd women in the church it the latter r admitted. "You cannot get away from the sex question," he said. "We are made as we axe. and that fact remains Amid applause from his friends he said he believed the granting of. the priesthood to woman "would make hei false to her master and false to- hei eex. "Women," argued Miss Royden, "de sire women as priests, and their admis eion to the priesthood would make it much easier for wome nto get help from the church." After quoting the New Testament to show that the commission of the priesthood was given to men and women alike in the upper room at Jerusalem, she continued: 'The head of the Church of England has not always been a man. Queen Elizabeth, Queen Anne and Queen Vic toria were all supreme heads of the church." "No! No!" shouted many voices. 'I am' sorry if you don't Jike iSt' Miss Royden told the protesting ele mcnt, but it is so. She went on to affirm that th fun damental difference between men aVid women were not a bar to womerfs entry into the priesthood. "Women," she concluded, "desire to conform more nearly to the ideal laid down by Christ. He laid down nothing and suggested nothing that dividel men and women in the vocation of priesthood." No vote was taken on the subject. HIIIIIISHfi. "Hiiiiiilllllllllllllll!ll!lllllllllllllHHiUi;i TO A STATEMENT THE PUBLIC The undersigned jewelers, who are affected by the present strike of watchmakers and manufacturing jewelry workers, desire to make this statement of plain facts to the purchasing public : That the present issue is not one of wages or hours. The point of controversy is the "closed shop." That the attack at this time is unfairly concentrated upon one store. All of the undersigned desire it known that they, too, have been listed as "unfair" toward organized labor. The undersigned believe that ability and integrity of employes of jewelry stores and shops is of more importance and a more substantial basis for compensation than the standing in the union. It is conceded detrimental to the interests of both the buying public and the jewelry store if employes of this class of business were selected and their actions governed by an official or officials of the union. The jewelers of Portland are not in any way antagonistic toward or ganized labor. They reserve the right to conduct their own business, believ ing it to be of greater benefit to all concerned than otherwise. (Signed) I.

WOMEN DEBUTE EXCITING ADMISSION TO PRIESTHOOD IS DECLADKD REVOLUTIONARY. STONES BRING HIGH PRICES Buyers Unable to Demands in United States. NEW YORK. Diamonds, pearls and other precious stones are selling in the foreign markets at prices ranging: from 50 to 100 per cent above domestic quo tations, according to importers just back from abroad. There is a shortage of all kinds of precious stones in Lon don, Paris, Amsterdam and Antwerp, it is said, and because they pass through many hands before reaching the final purchaser, prices become ex -cessive. Many American buyers hesi tate about meeting the prices asked by the foreign dealers and consequently are returning home almost empty handed. It is almost impossible to obtain gen uine pearls either in London or Paris, the main markets, because of the em bargo on their shipment established by the India government. During the war the Indian pearl fishers were inactive and it is not believed that a stock of any large size has been accumulated. American manufacturers of pearl jew elry are reported to be hard pressed for supplies. Because of th marked shortage of labor, the colored stone cutters in Paris have little merchandise to offer to American buyers. Wages in this in dustry are said to have made a start ling advance since the war. which is forcefully emphasized, say the import ers, by the prices asked for cut stones. German interests continue to be heavy purchasers of diamonds In the Amsterdam market, but importers here say that individuals rather than Ger man tradesmen are doing the buying and that for this reason few precious stones now held in Germany will find their way to the United States when business relations are again established between the two countries. Approximately 2 00 Vessels or All Sizes Will HaTC Personnel of Probably 2 5,00 0 Men. SAN FRANCISCO. The coming of tle .Tacific fleet is hailed with pleasure throughout the coast as the harbinger of many changes, economic and otherwise. The decision of the United States navy department to main tain two equal fleets means that ap proximately 200 vessels of all sizes will compose the Pacific fleet, with a per sonnel of 25,000 men. While no accurate figures are ob tainable, it Is pointed out that the money spent at Pacific ports for the maintenance of these ships and men ill amount to millions a week, and the resultant return to the various in dustries which will contribute to this maintenance will be no inconsiderable sum. scarcely any Kino, oi a selling concern will be overlooked, from the coal yard to the fruiter. further than this, thousands of sailors will be on liberty practically at all times while the ships are in port, and this means that the small shop keepers will participate in thousands of dollars spent in necessities, as well as in the many little luxuries which are the delight of the sailor. Aside from the personnel of the navy. many of the families of both officers and men undoubtedly will move to the Pacific coast so as to be near their sons, husbands ana tatners ana tnis means the addition of many more per sons who will have to be catered to.

Shoes sold next spring will bring even higher prices than those now prevailing, but relief may be expected late in 1920. according to a statement issued by the Na tional Boot and Shoe Manufacturers' as sociation. The cause of high prices was said to be the depletion of stocks under war time conditions, the prosperity of the public and European buying. Phone your want ads to The Orego nian. Phone iaLn 7070, A 6093. WASHINGTON. With practically all of her former trade with South Amer ica transferred to the United States. Germany must now submit to seeing this trade maintained and promoted with former German steamships. The first fast through passenger steamship service from the United States to Buenos Ayres and Rio de Janeiro. Chairman Hurley, of the ship ping board, toid the Pan-American conference here today, would be es tablished under the American flag with former German steamships, beginning November 1 next. The Mount Vernon, the Von Steuben and the Agamemnon, with a speed of 23',4 knots an hour, are to take up this trade, making the Brazilian capital in ten days from New York and Buenos Ayres in 14 days. This will be the service of the future, as compared with 24 days in the past to Rio. But this is not all. Fourteen com bined passenger and cargo steamers that will provide comforts and luxuries for the South American traveler, hith erto unknown, are now building and wiii supply service to both the cast and west coasts of South America. Contemplated lines." Mr. Hurley said, "call for at least two lines from New York to serve the West Indian trades, one of them covering the east ern Caribbean and the other the west ern Caribbean, with canal connections at Colon. To serve the swelling com merce of the west coast & line will be maintained connecting Valparaiso and the other western ports with Mobile or New Orleans. We have today a pas senger service from New York to Val paraiso which Is nine days shorter than existed one year ago. As soon as the army returns our American transports we will have weekly service from New York to Valparaiso on fine passenger lines through the Panama canal. "Good liner service between Val paraiso and Seattle, with rails at all the important Pacific ports, and also between San Francisco and New York. will be assured, and American lines al ready established in this field will be supplemented when required. Finally and most, important, there will be a ine from New York to the ports of Brazil and the River Plate. Modern ships of the passenger cargo type, operated over these lines will oonnuct the greate centers of trade, and to them will flow commerce from many intermediate points. V very important benefit from tne improvement of shipping connections with South America will be in tne mail service. Poor mall facilities have. in the past, proved a serious handicap in the way of increased trade relations between the United States and Latin America. It is hoped that our con gress will change the laws governing carriage of mails so that practically every ship capable of making more than 12 knots an hour and clearing for South American ports will carry mail. By using both passenger and cargo lines, it will thus be possible to have mail service three or four times a week. "The narcel post will show an im provement commensurate with that of the mail service. Goods suitable for light packing can be ordered by cata logue and delivered in a South Ameri can country lust as packages are now delivered in this country by mail or der houses." Mr. Hurley said it was planned to celebrate the inauguration of the new service by taking a party of about 700 irov-ernment officials and business men on the first trip, which will be made bv the Mount Vernon, starting from New York November 1. The impetus which the war gave to shipbuilding in this country bids fair to bring that maritime development that will enable this country to keep in touch with the rest of the world b numerous and more direct shipping linos." he said. "The benefit of Ire quent direct steamship service is not better illustrated than by the growth of the parcel post between the United States and such of our Latin American neighbors as enjoy rapid and frequent communication between their ports and the United States. Take the case of Mexico, with Its direct land communi cation and the excellent service to its eastern and western ports. According to the latest figures the United States is sending- to that country yearly ii 473 parcels, weighing in the aggregate 841.482 pounds. This far surpasses the parcel post exports to any other coun try on this hemispnere. Engineering problems as they per tain to the further development of the resources of Latin America will be dis cussed at tomorrow's session of the conference, following a presentation o financial and credit topics by Charles M. Schwab and V. A. anderHp. Transportation by rail, waterways as well as highways, will be discussed. !n aisn irrigation and sanitation.
