urday.
Fourteen years ago | had a ter
rible spell of typhoid fever, and
since that time hadn't been able to
use my right arm to do any good.
1t felt weak and numb and / had
no strength in ii, but | didn't get
Tanlac for this trouble, as | had no
idea l would ever be able to use it
again.
81 bought it for kidney trouble,
rheumatism and pains in my back.
Well, it relieved me of these trou-
bles alright, but, strange to say, it
helped my arm, too. Yes, sir, it has
actually made my arm so much bet
ter that l can now do lot of work
something I hadn't been able to do
in all these years / don't know how
to account for it, but that's what
actually happened, and all my neigh
bors who have known me for years
will tell you the same thing.
Going back to my other trouble,
! suffered a great deal from my back
and joints, and was so nervous all
the time l couldn't sleep much
Sometimes l would get so nervous
and strung-up that the least noise
would almost make me jump out OF
bed before l could control myself.
my stomach was all out of shape
too, and | couldn't eat to do any
good Nothing seemed to taste right
and l got so finally l would have
vomiting spells after trying to eat
To tell you the truth | was in 9
mighty bad fix and was just gettin!
weaker and weaker all the time.
don't feel that way now, and after
taking only three bottles of this Tan
lac, have gained 10 pounds il
weight besides my Stomach feel
just like l had had a new one pu
in, and eat and sleep just like ;
school boy, The rheumatic pains ar,
all gone, and l am feeling bette
and stronger in every way.
1T has helped my wife, too. Sh
is now on her second bottle, and it i
doing her more good than anything
she has tried in years. She was il
almost as bad fix as | was and i
has relieved her of ailments she ha
had for long time Both of Il

AT KAIULANI

Honolulu's first trade school, to be
conducted along lines similar 20 those
proposed by the local Y. M. Z. A.,
has been opened.
The school, or shop, was established
a few days ago in connection with the
KaiuIani school in Palama by Ken G..
Bryan, vocational instructor for t)ahu.
Boys who have been forced 70 ahan-
don school for various leascns. and
who have a desire to take up manual
training, will be admitted, and MIR.
Bryan says the school doubtless viii
be self-supporting within short time.
Those boys who enroll may spend
all or a part of their time at the
school. Carpenter work and practical
plumbing will be taught and, as the
boys become proficient in their work,
they will be paid. The school already
has large number of orders for
chairs, tables and other articles Of
furniture.
An endeavor will be made to sell all
of the articles manufactured at the
school and Mr.. Bryan expects that.
in time, some o. the boys will be
earning as high as SO month. The
boys who actually make salable ar
tieles will be given percentage of
the proceeds, the rest to be devoted to
the upkeep of the school.
