(q i BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY, MAY 24, 1920 ALL HIS FRIENDS _ WERE SURPRISED AT THE RESULTS| “My friends were all surprised when they saw what Tanlac did for me, and now several of them have started tak- ing. it, and. are getting fine results.” said, H. W. ulsen, for fifteem years an employe of fhe Cutler Plumbing Co., living at 1256 East 23rd street, Des Moines. Towa. “| was in an awful fix before I be- gan taking Tanlac,” he continued, “and it looked like 1 was down and! out. (My kidnevs were all out of order apd my back hurt so:bad that if I stooped over. I could hardly straighten up agdin. At times I] was so dizzy .I could not see and would have to catca hold of the nearest thing to keep from falling. My stomach was so. upset that it was almost impossible for me to eat anything that agréed with me, My appetite left me and' I hardly ate enough to keep alive. Nerve was all that pulled me through, for everything I‘did was ‘forced, for I felt so weak and. worn-out I had to force myself to do my Work. “A friend of mine recommended Tanlac to mé and after the first few doses I commenced ' to ‘feel better. Well, sir, Tanlac has now made a clean sweep. of my troubles and I am in the best of health. My kidneys and back are both in fine condition and J can bend over and straighten up without any trouble whatever. And eat? Why, I can hardly. get enough to satisfy me and everything agrees with me perfectly. The dizziness-has left me and! 1 am never troubled in any way at all Row. My strength has come’ back and 'I am feeling like my old self again. ‘No, Sir, I can’t say too much for Tanlac.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Barrette and n Wing by H. P. Homan, and in Strasburg by the Strasburg Drug Co. Advt. FOKKER DEVISED RADIO AIRPLANE Dutch Inventor Had Plan to Put]. “~~ Allied :Artillery. Out of Commission. BONCKED BY THE WAR OFFIC Alfpianes Loaded With Explosives to Be Directed by Wireless—Fokker Perfected Machine, but War Office Spoiled Scheme. Amsterdam.—M. Fokker, the Dutch airplane expert who worked for the Germans during the war, stated, in an interview, that he had made mil- lions of marks out of the Germans, but would give half of them to prove to the world that he was never anti-ally. “I was making airplanes before the war’ broke out,” hie said, “and when the Germans’ asked me to make airplanes for them I could only agreé to do so. It, was purely a financial matter. “We are having an airplane exhi- bition here in Amsterdam this month | and I find that all the English ftying men who come here are good sports- men. They don’t nurse any yrudge against me for making. alrplanes’ for the’ Germans,” but the’ Frenchmen— they‘ never will ‘forgive me, I fear. My machine brought déwn too many Frenchmen, and they don't like my name.” ~ : Germans Had 3,600. M.. Fokker ‘said he built 3,600 alr: Planes: at ‘his factories in Germany for the Germans to use in the spring drive of 198, but the ‘allies ‘hdd five teone. So the German army had to quit. i “If the war had gone on for sev- eral more years how far would the airplane have developed?” M. Fok ker was asked, His answer reveated’ what he dé clared had been a great military se- cret.'"“We would have put the artil- lery out of comimission,” he said. “We would have-made the big guns as old- fashioned as spears, It was all the fault of the army red tape in Ber! that it was not begun soqner. “It was like this: In 1916 the army authorities asked’ mé tf I could make avery cheap airplane with''a ‘very cheap engine, capable of flying, about four’ hours, ‘which ‘could’ be. steered through the ‘sir by wireless waves, ‘““They intended to load each one of these airplanes with an immense bomb and send them into the air under the: control of one fiying man who would shepherd them through: the sky by wireless ‘like a flock of sheep. He would be able to ‘steér ‘them ‘as’ hé pleaséd, and send them down to earth in exactly’ the spot he selected. “The “German idea was that it was a trémendous’ waste to sénd shells “through the afr by means of explosives, Theiridea was to put ‘afl their ex: plésives into the shells, and then inove thé shélls to their destination by pe- Atrol power. They had really lost faith in the use of big. guns. “Of coursé, each one. of ‘these air- planes with its engine would’ be blown up’ when the bomb exptoded.’ The whole thing’ was not much more ex: pefisive ‘than firing long-range shells, and‘it' would be far more sure and more deadly. War Office Bungled. “My plans ‘were accepted by the suthorities and then the war office made their great mistake. They de- cided to make the airplane itself. The war office bungled: along with the | manofacture of planes for many montis, and wilen «they hail finally turned out a few miichinés they found that ‘tliey could ‘not be dépenied on. | “In the ‘summer ‘of 1918 they came | to’imé “and gave me a huge order tor | the” wireléss-steered airplanes. I had Just got feady to manufacture them in wholesale quantities when the end of the war came.” THOUSANDS OF BABIES — AND MOTHERS DIE AS CONGRESS SLEEPS ON BARE OWN SECRETS Above, Mrs. Florence Kelley ; right, Mrs. Henry Keyes.

Staff Correspondont.: , Washington,- May 24.--Congres¢ sleeps on the job, while thousands oi bable and mothers die needlessly, Ana the women of the nation are geiting tired of it. Representative of hundreds of thous- ands of American women have des- cended upon congress with a sharp demand _ that ipending legislation for the protection of mothers and babies be passed without further fiddling. “It is a proper question to ask: ‘WHY CO CONGRESSMHN AND SENATORS WAINT MOTHERS AND CHILDREN TO .DIE?’ ’ declares Mrs Florence Kelley, general secretary of the ‘National Consumers’ league. She is one of the women who has been appearing before the senate pub- lic health corhmittee on belialf of the Sheppard-Towner. bill for the public protection of maternity and’ infancy. Other women who have been plead- ing’ and demanding ‘that this health measure be quickly passed include the wives of Senator Henry W. Keyes and Secretary Daniels of the navy. Some of the women told the com- mitteemen how proper medical care alone saved their own lives when their children were born. They told how large sums of money had been appro- priated by congress to save_hogs, and other sum to educate race-horse gam- blers on how to feed mares in foal, and how devoted the solons were to boll-weevil and’ tick eradication. Thousands of Needless Deaths. Since this bill Was up the first time 500:000 jbabies have needlessly died and 46,00) mothers have’ gone to pre- mature graves, the women state. Senat Joseph E.. Ransdell of Louisiana; told the women that if they would make the same’ pleas to all sén- ators and representatives, he was sure they would no longer rest easy until the bill became law.” “You have stirredrme deeply,” said the senator. yi Mrs. Daniels told how a great phy- sician had saved her after her first child was born. She said she wanted to send. out a cry for the millions of |} women who go down into the valley of the shadow of death without the aid_of doctors or nurses, and have no way of knowing for weeks and months after whether their‘health is impaired from: fhe ordeal. ‘It was only the skill of a great phy- sician who saved me through the births of my first tWo children,” said Mrs. Keyes, wife of Senator Keyes, New Hampshire. “We lived in the country, and if my husband had been a poor man, we Couldn't have brought a doctor from Boston.” Warn of Political Action. The women warn that if the pres- ent congress doesn’t do something about this: bill, the members will re- gret it in the fall when the women go to the: poils to: vote. ‘The ‘worst thing that a politician can do now is to antagonize the wo: men voters,” declared Mrs. Keyes. Miss Mary Stewart, representing the Women’s National Republican Ex- ecutive committee, says the women will’ take decisive action at the polls if the Sheppard bill ‘isn’t enacted speedily. The Sheppard-Towner bill provides for an appropriation of $2,000,000 the inst year to be gradually increased io $4,000,000 yearly by 1926, to be used axclusively,:in conjunction with states that appropriate similar amounts, in} the protection of mothers-and' infants. n addition $480,000-a year would be appropriated, $10,090 to each State, (or administration purposes.

Washington, D, C.—American edu- eators are’ launching a movement to\ raise funds to rebuild the famous H- brary of the University of Louvain, destroyed by the® German invaders early in the war. The city of Louvain, the “Oxford of the low countries,” is described in the following bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the. National Geographic society: “Not only the University of Louvain, but ‘the city is an object lesson in Belgium and France by the German army. Early in 1815 a group of uni- versity professors of other countries drew up a petition expressing strong indignation and abhorrence at the wholesale destruction of ancient build ings that has marked the invasion of Belgium and France by the Ger- man army” and protesting in the strongest terms against the continu: ance of 80 barbarous and reckless a policy. German Professors Make Reply. “To this a group of German univer sity professors, among them Gerhart Hauptmann, Max Reinhardt and Ru- dolph Eucken, replied that it was not true that their troops had treated Bel- gium brutally ‘but that, anway, ‘we must decidedly. refuse to buy a Ger- man defeat at the cost of saving a work of art.’ “If Louvain: has contributed little to scientific achievement*it had a tre- mendous effect upon philosophic and refigious thought. It has been said that the city’s chief product was the- ology.

In one of his most famous pastorals, Cardinal Mercier, now a visitor. in the United States, describes the havoc wrought in Louvain thus: “In this dear city of Louvain, per- petually in my thoughts, the magnifi- cent Church of St. Peter will never re- cover its former splendor. The an- cient College of St. Ives, the art Schools, the consutar and commercial schools of the university, the old mar- kets, our rich library with Its collec: tions, its unique and unpoblished man- uscripts, its archives, its gallery of great portraits of illustrious rectors, chancellors, professors dating from the time of its foundation, which pre- served for masters and students alike a noble tradition, and were an incite: ment in their studies, all this accumu: tation of intellectual, of historic and of artisti¢ riches, the fruits of the Ia- bors of five centuries—all isin dust.’ “The city qf Louvain ever will be remembered as the scene of the grant- ing to the Belgian people by Duke Wencestaus of the ‘Joyous entry,’ and the university will be associated with that. character’s preservation, more than four centufies later; when Kaiser Joseph, the ‘crowned anarchist’ of Aus: tria, tried to deprive Belgians of their ancient rights. “The, circumstances of that resist- ance form one more bond of union be- tween Belgium and the United States of America, for it took place just ten years after the Declaration of Inde- pendence was signed, an act which left a déep impress upon the Belgtans.

He won a temporary victory because Holland at that time was em- broiled with Great Britain over the former’s recognition of the United States of America. “Next he turned to Belgium with a project for reforming the church, but the Belgians were determined that such reformation should not be im- posed from without. “When the Bel- gians resisted he declared its consti- tution annulled, sent an armed force into'the country, and was met with a declaration that “he no longer was duke of Brabant, and that the Belgians henceforth would be an independent people, td. be known “as the United States of Belgium. * “Though the Belgiin United States was short lived, largely because the great powers of Europe declined to set a precedent by recognizing it, and encouraged. Joseph’s successor in re- sonquering it, the seed of independence thus planted by the historic university dloomed ‘again ‘a half century later, and revealed itself gloriously in 1914.” Drink Aged Wine, Reading, Pa.—Alderman and Mrs. Oliver J.
