V It, ,,." s.-x "i am now able tu eat three Mjuare meals a day for the first time in two years," was the emphatic statement made recently by Joseph A. York, well-known business man and highly respected citizen of Portland. Maine. I ani now sixty-nine years of use, and in all my life I have never run across a medicine that I consider in u class with Tanlac. I have just finished my fourth bottle and this m?dicine has benefited me even beyond my greatest hopes. Iiesldes paining sixteen pounds In weight, I have been built up and strengthened until I feel all of twenty ycrs younger. "For the past two years I have been In a miserably run-down condition, and was compelled a short time ago to give up all Idea of business as I was too weak to look after anything. 1 was nervous, worn-out, had no appetite, and suffered most all the time with Indigestion. Some days I would eat scarcely anything; In fact I was afraid to rat because I knew I would suffer afterward. Sometimes 1 had such severe cramping pains after eating that I would almost die. My nerves were all unstrung an'd the least thing would worry me and I never could get a good night's sound sleep. In fact I just lost interest In everything and was greatly discouraged over my condition. "The ordinary treatment failed to do me any good, and as I had read so many statements from people I know here In Portland who had been benefited by Tanlac, I decided to give it a trial. And now I know for myself what it will do. for I have simply taken n new lease on life. I am now able to look after my work as usual, and never felt better in my life. I am able to eat three hearty meals a day and everything agrees with me perfectly. I eat anything I want and never feel a touch of indigestion. I never thought there was a medicine that could do me so much gool. and I am only too glad to have the facts about my case given to the public." .Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere. Ad.-. Olive in South Africa. The wild olive Is found throughout South Africa, but all attempts to establish a successful Industry have failed so far. The principal drawback to the Industry is said to be the presence of the "olive lly," an insect well krunvu to the olive-growing countries of Europe. ' WOMEN! USE "DIAMOND DYES" Dye Old .

One traveler has described the road bed alon this .egment over which the luxurious Orient Express used to make Its semi-weekly trip from Taris to Constantinople, as the worst in the world; and the mountain scenery as the finest. Probably both statements were exaggerated. I5ut the ravines, boulders and torrential streams of the Nishava River region, just before the railway crosses the Unitarian frontier, are comparable with the Alps and sometimes surest our own Grand Canyon region in miniature. Tsaribrod is inconspicuous. It shelters a population of önly a few thousand. It has the inevitable castle, which still seem to keep a frowning guafd over red-roofed houses.. Significantly, in view of the economic life of Bulgaria, and the recent marked preponderance of agrarian representation in the government, each house has its garden. After the Orient Express passes the border line it traverses the Slivnitza battlefield, the hunker Hill of Bulgaria; and the first Important city, after Sofia is Philippopolis, in the vicinity of which one of the world's1 most esthetic industriefe is established that of cultivating rose gardens to distill attar of roses. At Philippopolis, under pressure of expected attacks from Turkey, Prince Alexander was installed as the head of the newly united Bulgarian states In 1SS5. Unexpectedly it was Serbia, not Turkey, which made the move in protest against the union with eastern Itumella. The Serbian forces mobilized In the Nishava valley; the Bulgarian army was far away. Hence a famous order, which resulted in the making of military history, to commanders of Bulgar units to hasten to Slivnltzar The speed with .which the troops were moved, in this helter-skelter fashion, was remarkable. Their movement was accelerated by orders to citizens to furnish supplies as they passed. The advance held the Serbian forces, which were headed for Sofia, or Slivnitza. When reinforcements arrived the enemy was defeated. The Serbian armistice proposal was presented at Tsaribrod. This incident gave Bulgaria a sense of national unity and prowess which may be compared to that which Japan attained by her defeat of the Russians. WHY LIGHTHOUSES WON'T "STAY PUf" Long agitation io save Barnegat Light from removal, and announcement that jetties will be built to preserve the historic beacon, give a hint of the extreme variability of coast lines and conditions. A survey of the eoast of New Jersey shows strikingly the results that are wrought upon a shoreline by the wind and the waves," writes John Oli ver LaCiorce to th National Geographic society. "The beaches for the most part are being driven back by the sea, but the harbors, which were accessible to coasters quite within the memory of men now living, are being closed by the traveling drift, just as most of the mouths of the streams emptying into the ocean have been closed. "In a description of the Jersey coast, published in 1870, it was stated that, prior to the war of 1S12, Old Cranberry Inlet was one of the best anchorages on the coast, and it afforded a safe harbor for American privateers on the lookout for British ships during the Involution. It opened one night by the angry sea breaking across the beach, and during the last year of its existence as a harbor the whole channel drifted nearly a mile to the northward. Its closure. nbut 1S12, caused so much inconvenience that, in 1S21, one Michael Ortlev attempted to cut a new inlet near the head of Barnegat Bay. With the assistance o others, it was finally finished; but the following morning, to the amazement of the voluntary .workers, it had closed up again. Later another effort was made to effect thu same thing lower down the bay. The cut was completed July 4. 1S47. the work being done by several hundred men under Anthony Ivens. Jr. The water was let in. but it tilled up almost as quickly as the Ortley cut. so relentlessly was the sea's war carried on. "A survey at Atlantic City, in revealed the fact that in the course of but a few years the shore at Maine avenue laid lost 70 acre. True, most of this material was deposited in the Ice of the point extending fr 'in Now Jersey to Ohio avt-nues, causing an advance of the beach lines at Pennsylvania avenue of about l.) feet and adding to this part of the plat .ome .V acres, all in the brief space ' cf a decade. Tills transfer of proi-

erty from one riparian owner to nnoti ier without consideration is not provided for in the statutes, but might properly be regarded as inequitable, especially to the original owner. However, no one has yet gone into court for an Injunction against the rea for thus robbing Peter to pay Paul. "When the lighthouse at Atlantic City was threatened, In 1S7S. the United States challenged the sea by the construction of a jetty at the head of Atlantic avenue. Thus was inaugurated a serks of defensive works.

which have been continued from time to time by individuals, so that 8- additional acres have been reclaimed from the sea to the great benefit of the city, as well as to that of the riparian owners; but they had to fight hard for every inch. SAVING THE ELK A check-up of the elk in Yellowstone National park, last stronghold of these largest members of the deer family, shows a discouragingly small number there, and It Is now feared that many more have perished than had been thought. The elk's existence depends upon his freedom to wander from the highland snows to the shelter and forage of the valleys below. Kariy blizzards drive him outside the protection of the national reservation into the midst of the open season for hunting in the two adjacent states. The southern herds follow the rivers, which (low out of Yellowstone in all directions, to the famous Jackson Hole country, once the haunt of bandits and cattle thieves, where human life now is safe but where the Inilux of civilization spells death for the elk. The northern herds when driven by snowstorms usually descend Into the Montana borderlands where settlements have fiung a barrier for wild animals across the edge of the pari;. Wholesale shooting of the elk has been the first consequence In the past. Much of this shooting, according to reports received in Washington, does little credit to sportsmanship. Some marksmen have not troubled to follow and capture animals they have wounded. Their sheltered life in the national reservation has made the elk tame; and they wander into many a backyard to find unexpected enemies. But this shooting does not mark the climax of the tragedy. As noted, the settlements have cut off the grazing lands. There is some provision for th" southern herds, though woefully inadequate, but practically none for the northern herds. The protection afforded the elk which stray into Wyoming Is that of the state game preserves, known as the hoodoo, Shoshone and Teton. Further protection js that afforded In a limited way by the winter elk refuge at Jackson, Wyo., founded by the biological survey. There hay Is raised for feeding the elk, but some seasons far from enough has been on hand for the feeding of the thousands forced out of the park, and even out of the 'reservations, by the early winter. In ordinary and mild winters such as the present one the animals remain in the park; in more severe winters, when the cold and snows come late, the preserves and the refuge have taken care of many of them. SPANISH MOROCCO Spanish troops, according to recent newspaper dispatches, have carried out important operations in the Spanish zone in northern Morocco. In strengthening its military hold and extending its civil government in northern Morocco, Spain is tundng the tables of history squarely about. For it was from this country that the Moors and Arabs swarmed across the Straits of Gibraltar in the year 711 and placed Spain under a Mohammedan, domination, the last vestiges of which were' finally removed only in the year in which Columbus discovered America. This Spanish Moroccan zone is the pedestal of the southern of the two A Moroccan Type. "Pillars of Hercules," which for long centuries were the western portals of the known world. It is part of the Mauretania of the Bomsns, one of their granaries when the empire was at its- greatest. It was the country tf the Barbary pirates who harassed. the shipping of the world for centurion, collecting tfibnte from many governments, and in whet- suppression the infant United states navy cut its first ! post-Kevohitiof.nry w:ir teeth in the M.it j'.iii u;e iiriiiii ccuiurY. It is now part of Morocco, which in many ways prenvs more truly than any other Moharr.medan e.ur.try the llavor of the "An.Uun Nights."

Spain, lying ordy a few. miles nertl. of the northern höre of Morocco, was naturally one of the first of the modem nations of Kurope to gain a foothold in that country. MHIUn, n en coast town near the northeastern corner of Morocco, came into the poy session of Spain in 1497, and other Mediterranean coast towns have been captured at various times since. Though a definite zone of Spanish influence has been recognized since an agreement between France and Spain in 1012, Spain has done little mure at any time than to hold the ports and a small area of the hinterland about each. Spanish authority farther" Inland has been more or less nominal and has never been exercised at all in the more remote sections of the zone. Bandits, of whom the chief was the notorious Baisuli, have operated in the Spanish territory In recent years with little molestation. One of their favorite activities has been the kidnaping of Europeans and Americans for ransom. The Spanish Moroccan zone Is a relatively narrow strip of territory with an area about equal to that of Belgium, or slightly groror than that of Vermont, extending across the entire northern part of Morocco. It has a

frontage of about 200 miles on the Mediterranean sea and of ab'.mt 'M miles on the Atlantic. It does not in clude the city of Tangier on the northwesternmost point of Africa, that city with a surrounding territory of 110 square miles having been under international control since 1012. The country is mountainous but contains considerable agricultural land. This por tion of Africa is free from desert conditions. The Spanish zone, like the portion of Morocco umlei a French protectorate to the south, probably contains valuable mineral deposits. but the disorders prevailing heretofore prevented adequate pro.H'cling. In recent jears Spain lsas spent much more on the ;:one than has been received from it in revenues. RHODESIA: A 1G21 LAND OF OPHIR Suggestions by archeologists that Iiliodesia insjy be the land of Ophir, mentioned in the Bible as a source or Solomon's riches, lends added interest to a region already attracting attention for its present-day resources. The act creating the important Union'of South Africa to the south reserves the right to add Rhodesia to that dominion of the British empire. It. L. Parsons, writing to tin? National Geographic society, describes some phases of Ithodesian life as follows: "The wet season In Iiliodesia begins in November and lasts until the first of June. All kinds of garden seeds and cereals are in the ground by Christmas and in January the first crop of millet is harvested. Great ceremonies attend both sowing and reaping. The dry season begins in June and lasts until the end of October. It is occupied with threshing, hoarding grain, storing wood and burning brush on seed beds for the sake dt the wood ashes. "No matter how hot the days are, the nights are cool and camplires are needed. On the elevated tablelands or plateaus the nights are very cold. "Taxes are not onerous Irl Iiliodesia, as each hut pays only three shillings a year, which is 72 cents, or a rate of 0 cents per month. "The Zambezi river, which forms the southern boundary of North Iiliodesia, is spanned at Livingstone, Just below the Victoria falls, by an Americanmade cantilever bridge bearing the Cape to Cairo railroad. As the water plunges -if)0 feet, the electrical energy to be developed Is incalculable. It Is proposed to carry the wires on steel 'poles' fashioned like oil derricks, v to the KImberly mines, .Tohannesberg, Pretoria and around to Cape Town, on the one hand, and up through Khartum and the Nile valley. Even the pyramids may be decorated with lights made to glow by current from these mighty falls. "In a country like Rhodesia where there are no roads either good, bad or indifferent, getting about is no fun. All the British officials have 'bikes,' but they are more ornamental than useful, so they use the 'machilia' which, t quote them, Is an Invention of the devil. It consists of a long pole with two natives at eaeh end. Midway hangs the hammock for the 'broana,' alias the English victim, whose back is lacerated by bushes and stumps and his body more or less submerged when going across a river. The bearers keep up a chant that sounds like the wail of lost spirits, ami it never occurs to them that the passenger is not as happy as if in a Pullman chair car. "Some of these African tribes have alert, active minds. They can commit to memory page after page of a textbook, but the trouble is they do not comprehend the meaning. They learn telegraphy, typewriting, the manual of arms, etc.. with wonderful rapidity and as nothing is more dear to the African heart than ceremony, they go into ecstasies over parades and the morning and owning tlag tactics. "In most of the tribes are to be found skilful artificers. Show them a piece of imported furniture and they will exactly duplicate it. They weave bark fabrics of every kind and manufacture musical instruments, keyed, string, wind and percussion. Wherever suitable clay Is found, tley n.ake pottery, tiles and brick. Almost overy English official has a plcturesque residence of brick with tlie roof. t:rre.unded by beautiful gardens. "When Rhodesia get- proper transportation facilities.
