Retail fetid wholesale groceries on a compet lUti bttsl will be wiped out within few yean unless present tendencies In the meat packing Industry are eliminated, Chairman Colver, of the : federal trade commission, told the iiouia Interstate commerce commit tee today at hearings on the adminis tration bill to regulate the packing lousiness. ; . a. The causo, he contended, was that the' packers had obtained control of numerous industries not directly re lated to the packing Industry. "The consumer pays more,": said Mr. Colver. "I can cite cases tor proof of my belief. Since the pack ers have become heavily Interested In the salmon Industry, prices have ad vanced without economic reason ex cept of control." ; .

Mch. Dec. 30. Brain bridee Colby ot the United States Shipping Board, in an address here last night advocated placing the mil lions of tons of shipping built bv the government into hands of private con cerns for operation either through lease or purchase. The government, he said, should absorb the initial cost of rc-establishins America's merchant marine and this would be justified bv the laree benefits flowing to the na tion's trade. AccordliiK to tho testimony of multiplied thousands who have triad It thero Is nothing so well adapted to tho needs ot a run-dowrt system as Tnnlac, nnd In every case whore a fair test ot Its powors Is inudo anoth er enthustustio witness is tho Invar iable result. Recently In telling ot the remarkable benefits she h(iB de rlvod from tho medtclno 'Mrs. Agnes Larson, residing at 194S South G street, Tacoma, Washington, said: "The way Tanlnc has relieved me of my suffering and built me up is nothing short ot wonderful. Why, I don't only foel like a now woman, but I huso actually gained fourteen pounds In weight besides. I was tn an awfully weak, run-down condi tion for two years and so nervous that the loa.it llttlo thlug out of the ordinary would upset mo. I suf fered all the time with a pain acrosB my kldnoys, which was so bad at times, my back felt .like' It would break. I was vory restless at night, up and down at all hours, unable to sleep. I also suffcrod a great deal with dizziness and faint feelings, and was so weak thai I could not get through with my housework without stopping several times to rest. "One day I was telling a friend of mine how I felt, and she advised me to try Tanlac. So I got a 4)01110, and that was one ot the best things l ever did. My husband, who was suffering a great deal with indigestion and gas on his stomach, commenced taking It the same time I did, and between us we took eight bottles, and are In splendid 'condition,' Ills stomach in in such a good condition that he eats just anything and It all agrees with him fine. And a; tor mo. It has built me up until I feel altogether different. My nerves are so much stronger and better that I can sleep all night long, and my appetltlo is Just fine. 1 no longer have those woak, dizzy spells and tho pain has left my back entirely. Both myself and husband think Tanlac Is great, and if I ever feel my system getting rundown again I shall take more Tanlac because I know so well what It will do."
