GAINS TWENTY
Three POUNDS
ON five BOTTLES
"Tanlac Changed Me from
al Nervous Wreck to a
Healthy Woman" Says
Mrs. Burgin.

when l told my husband | wanted
bottle Of Tanlac he said, You might
as we'll throw your dollar out in the
street, but it you want to try it | will
get you a bottle He did git it, and
when | had finished taking it he went
straight to the drug store and got an
other bottle, for he saw the wonderful
good it had done me, was convinced it
was grand medicine, and was mighty
glad to pay out another dollar" said
Mrs. G. R. Burgin Of pa Second
street, Birmingham.
"Since | began taking Tanlac," con-
tinued Mrs. Burgin, "it looks like
every time l look in the mirror l am
heavier, and, no wonder, for l went
from 80 pounds to 103-a gain of
twenty-three pounds. 1t took just
five bottles of Tanlac to do this for
me. Besides, it has changed me from
sick, rundown, WORKOUT and nerv-
Gus wreck into healthy woman, and
| now feel like living.
Really, L had gotten so weak l
couldn't hardly lift scuttle of coal
to the fireplace. My kidneys were all
out of shape; | was too nervous to
sleep and my stomach was all out Of
| order. | was in this very condition
three long years. | was losing ground
every day, and lost weight until was
almost a living skeleton. | had about
despaired of ever seeing a we'll day
again, for no kind of medical treat
ment SCENE dto help matters in the
least. Finally, | got practically help
less.
"If anybody would have told me
there was a medicine on earth that
would increase my weight twenty
three pounds l would have thought
them crazy, but as sure as l am alive
today. Tanlac did it for me-and only
five bottles at that.
ct looks like every day l am
stronger and feel better. l have a
good appetite, and enjoy everything
eat. Before | began taking Tanlac
l couldn't eat hardly anything with
out becoming anuseated. l sleep sound
and am rid of the nervousness. My
kidneys bother me no longer To tell
you the truth,I don't feel like the
same person at all since Tanlac
Strengthened me out"
eyes, Tanlac is the greatest medi-
cine on earth," said Mrs. Burgin's ia
Their, who entered the room during his
daughters conversation. eff you could
have seen my daughter before she be-
gan taking Tanlac you would not be-
lieve it was the same person who you
see sitting there. She was just about
played out. l just came by the drug
store, and knowing her Tanlac was
about out bought her this bottle. If
her appetite picks up much more she
will come pretty near eating us out Of
house and home. ! guess she has
starved long enough, and it does me
lot of good to see her eat heartily"

PLOT FRUSTRATED

to manufacture and circulate S1,000,-
900 of counterfeit silver certificates
and United States treasury notes was

ly the ability to prevent, without
overburdensome expense. the recur-
rent flood stages in Hardilg's bayou.

area of the city, creating conditions
not only dangerous to the health and

TEACHERS IN NEVADA
BETTER PAID THEN
IN MOST STATES

California is lamenting the low
wages Of public school teachers. While
that state fas been lavishly expending
its revenues in all diversions il Is lust
beginning to dawn on the taxpayers
that the teachers of the public schools
are not adequately paid. says the Gold.
field Tribune.
a recent publication shows that of
1880 teachers in the lower grades IL.
765 receive less than 5000 a year and
that 1926 average about $1,000 a year.
The latter class are mostly in the high
school service. There are 10,S35 fe-
male teachers in the elementary
schools receiving an average salary of
SS68.SS. while male teachers get an
average salary OF SSil93. Contrasted
with this it is the proud boast that the
average salaries OF teachers in Nevada
are the highest in the United States
and far higher than most OF the other
western states. There cannot be any
analogy between the salaries paid here
and the salaries paid in the east,
where the highest grade teachers re.
ceive about one.half of the Nevada
standard. There is no question but
that the school teachers are in a class
by themselves and entitled to all they
receive
Under the present system of educa,
tion the teacher assumes the duties
that in former years fell TO the lot OF
the parents, and for this reason, II no
other, the teachers should be rewarded

MAY RAISE CHARGES
FOR FOREST GRAZING

District Forester Smith Riley OF
Denver is authority for the statement
that the Interior Department at Wash
ington has in mind the raising of the
charges for forest grazing of livestock
1t is said that the proposed raise Will
extend through three years. as the for.
est reserves at present are not self.
supporting and are a drain on the Ma.
tional treasury.
In this connection. Secretary S. w.
Mcclure of the National WoOlgrOwers
Association said:
Considering that sheep and wool
have increased In value during the
past year or two, slight advance In
the grazing rates would not be met
with any great opposition. but do not
believe that those interested In the
sheep and wool industry win submit
to any eXtravagant increase"
The matter will be taken up at the
meeting of the association in January
and, no doubt, some sort OF protest
will be made
Under Congressional enactment, %
per cent. OF all National forest receipts
are paid TO the several states In which
the forest reserves are located.
