TANLAC PLANT
MADE LARGER
Unprecedented Demand for Rem
edy Necessitates Increased
Capacity.
Tanlac, the premier preparation,
sold in Columbia, by Page & Taylor,
and which is being so widely discussed
in this State, is being used today by
more than 150,000 Kentuckians, thou
sands of whom have testified to the
benefits they have gained by its use.
Every walk of life is represented in
the small army of Kentuckians who
have been benefitted by Tan'ac and
who have testified to its merits as a
medicine of rare value.
The Taylor-Isaacs Drug Company.
Louisville, has sold more than 30,000
bottles of Tanlacin 90 days. The suc
cess of Tanlac in Louisville is typical
of the cordial reception the prepara
tion is receiving in large cities and
rural districts where it has been intro
duced. In the last six months the
business has grown to enormous pro
portionsso large, in fact, that it re
cently became necessary to increase
the capacity of the Tanlac plant in
Dayton, Ohio, which had been pro
ducing from 8,000 to 10,000 bottles of
the preparation daily.
The unusual, and heretofore, un
used formula composing Tanlac is, in
a large measure, responsible for the.
medicine's popularity and success.
The ingredients, which are gathered
from many sections of the earth, are
of known curative value.
One ingredient never "before has
been used in a proprietary medicine.
This probably "contributes more to the
success of Tanlac than any other one
thing. Its curative power is conceded
to be most effective, and rapid. This
ingredient was discovered on an is
land in the Pacific, west of Mexico.
HEALTH OFFICER'S COLUMN.
BY V. L. TAYLOB.
Last week I wrote to the .Adair
County School teachers, giving them
advice and directions about quite a
number of things, and this week I am
writing an article copied from the
"Good Health," to show that the con
dition of things in Kansas, is very
near what it is in Kentucky. Kansas
is one of the leading States in the Un
ion in point cf sanitation. At the
close of a lecture on the country school
house and sanitation, by E. O'. Hum
phrey, one of the leading sanitarians
in the State of Kansas. He was com
plimented upon the good talk by tne
President of the Board of County
Commissioners with the remark:
"That sounds well and would look
good in print, but the country school
is up to date in this country. I am
also the President of our board of di
rectors in my country school district,
our school house and premisee will
come up to the standard." A prop
osition was made involving the scor
ing of five country school houses and
grounds including the President's pet
school. Mr Humphrey procured con
veyance and the local health officer, to
gether with the commissioner, accom
panied him. Stopping in front of the
President's school first and before dis
mounting we said: "To the child who
lives in a home with a neatly kept
yard, this school ground would be
treated with contempt. It is ex
tremely ragged; weeds here and bare
grounds in other places; occa
sional pieces of brick, sticks and
paper.
To the child who lives in the poorly
kept home with no'attention paid to a
nicely kept yard, your school yard will
surely not give encouragement, to im
prove home conditions. The two ob
jects sought for the child from an in
structive standpoint are lost: Yiz, ad
miration for the beautiful ground by
the first child and stimul,tion to copy
it by the second child. Your fence is
not wellpaitned, nor does it "sit up'
straight. There aire two boards off
one pannel and one board partly off of
another. Great suggestion to the boy
to kick off the fourth board. Going to
the rear of the 1st: We find the priv
ies with doors unscreened and opening
toward the school and play ground.
Not the best means for privacy to say
the least of it. The vaults looked as
they had never been cleaned, and the
odor arising confirmed it. Upon try
ing th pump, the water ran through
the open board cover and could be

heard trickling into the- water below.
Under the cover there were three
bricks gone and the dry weather had
sent the ever present rat in quest of
something to quench his thirst.' We
found three rats in the well.
Scoring the premises so far and giv
ing instructions upon the best way to
build the privy vault and screen it as
well, how to empty it and how often;
the proper way to curb the well, the
height above surrounding ground,
sloping up to it by grading, and the
water tight.and dug tight top, etc.,
we entered the school room where 56
pupils spend 5 hours per day for 8
months per year. According to best
sanitary authority they were seating
eleven more children than the room
should accommodate. The front seats
were small enough for a kindergarten
class. No decorations on the walls.
One large globe and that broken.,
Two large maps of the antediluvian
era or further back than that. Every
where a repellent atmosphere not in
keeping with the age. That school
house and grounds scored under 40.
He and his entire community were in
a rut so deep that the money expend
ed for education (V)should have em
ployed.a cow boy for herding the chil
dren. He refused to follow the com
pany to the other schools, saying, "It
is no use, this is the best one. 1 did
not know what school inspection by a
sanitary officer really meant."
The health board regulations of
Kansas contemplate the inspection of
all schools one per year; by a man of
good sanitary training. "They shall
be disinfected before the opening of
school year," says their regulations.
The county commissioners consti
tute the health board of the county.
They select a physician of "good san
itary ability," as the county health
officer. He is competent to score the
schoolhouse and premises, and as a
matter of economy should then and
there disinfect the school house. The
latter being of importance only as a
climatic act, or finishing touch, to the
more important work of getting house
and grounds in respectable condition.
This would give to the country child
an idea of the beautiful and cleanly.
It would stimulate to better home
conditions. It would increase school
attendance. It would change the
school work from drudgery to free
dom. It would earn the money in
vested in the county school. The in
spection and disinfection of each
school can be done for less than 84.
If the county health officer does his
whole duty and insists upon his rec
ommendations being carried out in ev
ery detail. He may have opposition
at first, but that should not .prevent
nim from doing his duty. He will
get his reward here, instead of wait
ing for eternity to roll back the scroll,
for there is no one thing more en
grossing to the mind of the child and
the mother than that of cleanliness,
after you have shown them how.
