KY. STATE OFFICIAL
SAYS SYSTEM RIGHT.
State Public Printer Glenn An
Enthusiast.
He Chose Tanlac Instead of
Florida.
NOW IS A WELL MAN
NOW Is A WELL MA

| ffdHhloTt, NY, aug. IL, 1910.
Seldom do men of prominence,
especially men who hold high of
flee, publicly express their in
debtedneSS to proprietary medi-
cine. But, so notable were the
results secured from the use OF
Tanlac by Moses II. Glenn, state
state superintendent of public
printing, that a statement given
out at the state capital yesterday,
he gave this new medicine full
credit for his remarkable return
TO robust health. Mr. Glenn, who
has been true TO his friends and
true to every trust reposed in
him, said:
am a conservative man and
have especially been skeptical re-
garding endorsements of medi-
zines of any character, although
| have used much OF them in an
endeayOr TO rid myself of catarrh-
al affection of the head, nose
and throat.
Il believe l had used every
thing imaginable before | obtain
ed Tanlac.
AT night when | slept, as poor
as my sleep was, | evidently swal-
lowed the accmulations of mu.
cous from my nose and throat, ~
| invariably awakened in the
morning experiencing choking,
sickening sensation. My head
was full and | hawked and ex-
perforated throughout the morn
ing.
THE itching in my ears be-
came unbearable, and then there
was a roaring noise also. / had
an unpleasant taste in my mouth
and scarcely any appetite at all.
My condition was SO distress
ing that | almost determined sew
eral times TO go TO dry salt at
mosphere, preferably Florida.
Il watched the introduction of
Tanlac in the State of Kentucky
with interest and finally decided,
If Others used the medicine and
said they were helped, that it
was worth my time to get il,
though had little faith in the
preparation to help me.
Il was surprised, however. |
began TO improve rapidly. My
whole system is now right, the ac-
cumulations in my nose and
throat have disappeared and |
feel physically able TO throw off
any other symptom. | am a
well man and | propose telling
others of the good this medicine
has done me. feel that il is my
duty TO do so"
Tanlac, the master medicine of
which Mr.. Glenn speaks with
such enthusiasm has broken all
records for large sales at HEX
man Drug Store where j. l..
Cooper's assistants may be found
any day explaining the merits OF
the new preparation to interest
ed groups of people. Adv.

The European war is doing
much to show the people of y

it is going to do much toward
showing them what more it can
be made by a little renewed ef

CHEAPEST POPULAR CRAZE.

More than II, 600, 900 people a day see
moving pictures. The capital invested in
motion picture theatres is estimated at
$1z0, 600, 600. The latest available figures
show that $275, 0o0, 900 annually is spent by
the public to see the shows. The figures
are eloquent.
In almost all other respects, popular
amusement costs higher than it used to.
The people who used to be satisfied with a
$50 bicycle now have a 81, 900 automobile.
Those who used to spend cheap vacation
visiting relatives in the country, now go to
a summer hotel or hire or own a bungalow.
But millions of people who used to pay so
cents to So at theatres now see the movies
for 5, 10 Or 20 cents.
Many old fashioned people call it ex-
travagant expenditure of money. Yet the
picture shows are SO cheap for so many
really good performances, that the working
man may not be spending any more for his
fun than he used to years ago. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that picture shows draw from
saloons. Most people have always had one
or two pet extravagances. The pictures are
the cheapest popular craze Of history.

officer, developed a grading Of 81 410 per
cent. for the Queen City of the Delta"-
which is very gratifying to our people,, and
easily places us within the six cities from
which the State Health Department will
name the winner of the prize offered in the
contest.
In a letter received by DR.. Mathews
from Chief Sanitary Inspector Willis Valley
he says among other things: ''Your score
card shows most careful grading, and while
it has a high grade, | feel positive from
what | understand Of your city when there
that it is entitled to the same. Have not
received all the score cards, but feel most
positive your town will be among the high
est. l want to thank you most cordially for
the active cooperation given this move
ment, and ask you to thank the ladies of
your city for their splendid efforts along the
same line"
DR.. Mathews states that within the
next few days that the final inspection will
be made here by DR.. Valley Or one of his
assistants.
The Commonwealth c%ongratulates all
concerned upon the splendid sanitary con-
dition of our city, and we hope that their
interest in this important matter will con-
tlnue to increase in future.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1915-05-07
OF WAR AND PEsTILENCE.

The horrors of world warfare, heart
rending as they may be, can hardly surpass
those which pestilence is slowly, silently
bringing upon all Europe, and which when
hot weather comes may be creeping across
the seas.
The Rockefeller Foundation, after a sur
vey Of sanitary conditions in Servia, reports
that typhus, typhoid and recurrent fever are
epidemic there, that smallpox and scarlet
fever are raging and that cholera is expect
ed with warm weather.
At Nish the commission found that at
one time there were $50 victims Of typhus
unburied because there were no grave dig
gers. From other towns so small that their
names are all but unknown to us cases are
reported running as high as 1000.
Servia is a rude country in which the
sanitary appliances necessary to prevent
spread of disease are almost unheard Of.
The diseases are destined to spread at fright
full rate. Conditions in Servia make it i'm
possible to check the epidemic.
Servia will not be the only sufferer, by
any means. No part Of Europe dare con-
slider itself safe. War opens an easy way
for pestilence.
The prospect Of a great invasion. of
cholera, menacing even the ports Of this
country, is not to be treated lightly.
