THOUSANDS GAIN
GREAT BENEFITS.
Object Lesson Gained by Trials
Always Repays for Many
Hardships Endured.

Experience is hard task master
Oftentmes we pay dearly for ex-
perience, but il even one great OBJ.
ject is accomplished, experience
pays.
If the experience of war ridden
Europe will eventually establish
real peace, the price of war will not
have been too great.
In the smallest planes of life
each individual has some costly
experience, only to learn some
great object lesson. Disease often
wastes years of some peoples lives.
They suffer years of agony and tor
ture, only to be relieved by some
remedy or treatment. Although
they have paid dearly to secure
this information, if they can relieve
the sufferings of their fellows their
experience has not been in vain.
Thousands of men and women
in all walks Of life are daily &C.
knowledging the tenedts they have
derived from Tanlac in cases of
catarrhal affections of the mucous
membranes, stomach. liver and
kidney troubles. Ttey feel that
they should come forward publicl y
and tell their experiences with the
spirit of helping some unfortunate
who suffers as they did.
Tanlac has been found ideal in
combating that tired, listless feel
ing that is only the forerunner of
more serious complications. AS
general tonic for half sick, rum
down men and women, it builds
up the tissues. creates keen APP
petite, promotes digestion, vitalizes
the blood, and brings back color to
the cheeks and sparkle.to the eyes.
Tanlac can be obtained in Jasper
at the Ii. F. Pitts Drug Store.

Sulnhurlc Acid

Sulphuric acid has been known COM
mercially for about 100 years. The
first step in its manufacture is the
burning of sulphur. This forms gas,
which is chemically treated to pro-
duce sulphuric acid. A curious fea-
ture of the acid is that it cannot be
shipped in diluted form in iron con-
tainers, because it will eat through the
iron, but strong sulphuric acid can be
shipped in tank cars.

Trading was blcad hut fitful, with in- tervals of dullness during the inter- mediate and later stages.

In the British Isles during this war d. great many women have been help ing rescruiting" by walking the streets and putting white feather into the buttonhole of every man they met who was not wearing the khaki.
 I was standing just outside the cen tral station in Glasgow, an American writes, when a woman walked up to a man who was standing near me. and without a word pulled a white feather through his buttonhole. He was a great big fellow, and she had to do some reaching to get at him.
 He smiled when he saw what she
