Declares Tanlac Enabled
Him to Eat Better, Sleep
Better and Work Bet
ter. Has Gained Thirty
Pounds.
**l consider Tanlac the grandest
medicine in the Avorld, for I have
actually gained 30 pounds in weight
since I began taking it. It has just
simply filled me with new life and'
energy and for the first time in years
I can sit down to the table and en
joy three square meals, a day -like
other people. In fact, Tanlac has'
made me eat better, feel better, sleep
better and work better,' and I guess
that's all a man can expect of a
medicine.
"Before I took Tanlac, I was off 25
pouhds in weight and was so badly
run down I was hardly able to do nly
work. Nothing seemed to agree with
me and my food invariably soured on
my stomach. I would always have an
uncomfortable bloated up feeling In
my stomach, and although I tried
many kinds of medicines, I never ,got
relief until I took Tanlac.
"I also suffered at
times from Rheumatism, but this hus
all disappeared. In fact, this wonder
ful medicine has made a new man out
•j of me in every way. I feel years
] younger and can do as much work as
in any day of my life.
"Of course, I am only too glad to
give you my testimonial because I
want other people who are suffering
as I did to take this medicine and get
relief." >

went to Russia and made busts of
Lenin, Trotzky and the other BoJshe

well with her bust of Trotzky.
Mrs. Sheridan, who was Miss More

at a dinner party:
Trotzky, you know, is famous for
his sharp speeches. When I exhibited
his bust in Petrograd, a lady said to
Lenin:
"'What a likeness! You can see thj»
quiver on his lips.'
" 'Yes,' said Lenin, 'and the arrows

Is It the Business of Congress to
Supervise the Social Centers?
By MISS MARGARET WILSON, Community Worker
I Speak in behalf of community center work.
Community workers are impatient with Representa
mKSskf gjwl tive Wood of Indiana for denouncing the centers as
"hotbeds of socialism" and the use of school buildings
for community dances as a waste of public money.
Is it any of the business of. congress to supervise
the activities or speech of those they represent? One
vX •/ * . reason that was given in the senate for cutting our
P\ v ... appropriation was that our centers in Washington had
' .* been breeding unresf.. I know of nothing that could
xM'im uphold that statement, but even granting it, even if
laws are broken in community centers, it is the business of the courts or
of the Department of Justice to try the individuals who have broken the
law.
Another statement made in congress was tljat ithey did not wish to
pay the expenses attendant upon our dancing in our school buildings.
Again I ask, granting that we have a moral right to use the school build
ings, is it any of their business what we do in them, whether we listen to
Socialist speeches or whether we dance? It was even suggested the other
day on the floor of the.-senate that we should not be. allowed to talk poli
tics in' our centers. Isn't that amazing?
Suppose, that we should initiate a nation-wide referendum to make
new rules for senate discussions. What an outcry there would be. It
would not be a lawful procedure, I know, and therefore impossible, but
would it not be more logical and reasonable for us to make- rules limiting
the discussions of those wliq are accountable to us than that they should
make rules for our meetings?
The community center is the people's machine. It works in th? open.'
Charges Brought Against Americans by ,
Other Peoples Are Startling.
By LINDSAY RUSSELL, New York Lawyer.
The charges brought against the United States by other peoples are
startling. We are charged with being international meddlers. They say
that Uncle Sam is a veritable Don Quixote, tilting at every alien wind
mill. '•
The satirical say that the principle of self-determination, if applied
to our own country, would disrupt the nation. What about the Filipinos,
Negroes and Indians?
Again, Europeans say that we want to foist our form of government
upon the entire world; that we ignorantly set ourselves up as models of
cosmic perfection. They say we are innocent, arrogant, naive and con
ceited.
We are charged with being militaristic. Tt is charged generally
throughout the world that the United States is aggressive. We have taken
Florida from Spain, the Pacific const and Texas from Mexico. We have
annexed Hawaii and the Philippines. We. fomented a revolution in Pana
ma for the purpose of taking the territory that we desired." \\ r e have as
sumed an overlordship of SouthNAmerica through the Monroe Doctrine.
We are charged with being capitalistic. Deals rather than ideals
characterize the average American. We went to war for the benefit of
humanity and came out with humanity's gold.
We Are Controlled by Bureaucratic
Officials in Private Business
By FRANK N. BRIGGS, Denver Banker
Our Pilgrim Fathers came to this land 300 years ago to get away
from too much government, from a government that interfered with reli
gion, education, private business, individual initiative and personal liberty.
In recent years this country has moved farther ami farther away from the
fundamental principles of freedom and liberty tJntil now we are the most
rigidlv governed people on earth instead of the least governed.
Private rights have small place in the United States of America in
these modern days. We are supervised, interrogated, inspected, investi
gated, controlled and directed by bureaucratic officials in every depart
ment of private life and business. Largely because of the numerous bu
reaus we are now burdened with such tuxes as would have appalled arty
generation preceding this.
It was bureaucratic, not autocratic oppression and corruption that
mined Bussia, and today our own country is rapidly striding with no un
certain steps into the same sort of bureaucratic machine government that
Ifussia had before the revolution there.
We must destroy those governmental bureaus, commissions and boards,
root and branch, horn and hoof, with their destructive, inquisitorial in
terference.

Americanization Is Retarded by the
Foreign-Language Newspapers
By DR. PAUL SHOREY, University of Chicago *
Foreign-language papers and foreign-language preaching only retard
Americanization and promote clar.nishness. Except for a few gifted in
dividuals, there is no such thing as bilingual culture. The heart, the un-'
derstanding and the loyalty are truly at hothe in one language only.
American schools have hitherto taught too much about American
divisions and henceforth ought to emphasize the things that unite us.
This does not mean that they should falsify history, still less that they
should foster a temper of provincial pride and contempt for the foreigner.
Americans who hope that the new America will remaiif "E pluribus
unum" and carry over all that was best if) the old, should see to it that
our schools make fuller and more critical jase of the noble American tradi
tion of rational, sober, statesmanlike and lawyerlike discussion of grave
political prcblems. And with it they should encourage the study of the
selected bert in our pure, refined, intelligent, If not ropremely great,
American classical literature.
