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." ; .

The following letter. Imb been sent

bv XT. S. Junes, local suueriuteudeut
of the Federal Kmpluviuent service:
"As the matter of fintlimr eniplov
mcnt for returning; soldiers it ml sail
ors is the most important that the
U. S. Employment service has to fucc
at this time, it is absolutely noces
sarv that everv citizen and every or

In several districts, throughout the
country, the different onrnnixations.
throueh their well merited hut mis
placed real, have tlioiisrhtlesslv work
ed independently of the service and of
each other, to the detriment of the
common object in view. Ileuefittins
by this experience, it is tho wish of
tho department -of labor, workine
throdfsh the employment service, to
avoid any such mistakes hereafter:

as the American Red Cross, nil ot tho

porting to the service any available

The V. S. Employment Servieo. as
no other organization, is equipped to
do its part, but must have the unstint
ed co-operation of all these organiza

this work a success.

Says thlWay Tnnlac Helped Her Is
Nothing Short ot
Wonderful '
DETROIT. 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."
Tanlac Is sold In Medford by West
Side Pharmacy, in Gold Hill by M. D,
