MRS. WILSON GAINS
SIXTY-F|VE POUNDS
BY TAKING TANLAC
Only Weighed 80 Pounds
When She Began Taking 1t.
Now Weighs 145 and Feels
Like New Woman

Many wondarft=1 statements have
been made by people in all sections OF
the country who have made astonish-
ing gains in weight by the use of Tan
lac. but what is probably the most re-
markable statement ever made in this
connection was given just a few days
ago TO Mr.. Rowe St Clair. OF the Live
and Let Live Drug company, chatta-
noOga. Tenn. by G. c. Wilson, III 18th
street. that city. who said:
Ny wife had been in bad health for
three or four years. suffering from
stomach trouble. Indigestion and consti-
patton. She tried everything but kept
going down and fell on in weight until
she weighed only eighty pounds. and
now since taking twelve bottles she
weighs one hundred and forty-five
pounds She has actually gained sixty
i've pounds and 1 have never seen so
great = change In anybody in all my
life as this medicine has made in her.
Before she took Tanlac she had no
appetite at all and never enjoyed the
little she forced herself TO eat. She
would often sit down TO a meal and the
sight OF IL seemed TO nauseate her. and
she would leave the table without eat
ing bite. She had so much gas on her
stomach at times she said she felt like
she would choke 20 death Something
that felt like a big ball would rise up in
her throat and almost cut of heE
breath This was the case after every
meal and made eating almost fmpossi-
ole for her. She was gradually starving
because her food didn't digest and she
got no nourishment from il scarcely at
he
could hardly sleep and was too thin
and weak to even try to look after her
housework- I spent lots of money for
medicines and IL seemed that every
thing was done for her that could be,
but nothing did her any good Finally
she went TO the hospital here and stay
ed for eight weeks, but that failed TO
help her. / don't reckon anybody ever
suffered more than she did. and she was
respondent and discouraged and l was
alarmed about her because IL looked like
nothing would help her.
II saw TanIac advertised IN the pa
pers and bought ii for her, but never
once thought OF her getting such won
4ierful results as she has Her i'm
provement has been so great that no
one would take her for the same person
she was the day she started on Tanlac.
It's the truth, all the nausea and gas
and every sign OF indigestion disappear
ed almost as soon as she began on Tan
lac. She has gradually gotten stronger
end picked UP in weight until she has
taken twelve bottles and is like brand
new woman She now eats three big
hearty meals q day and digests IL every
bit and hasn't an uncomfortable feeling
afterwards. It's positive fact, just as
said before. she has gained sixty-five
pounds in weight. and all signs of con-
sttpztfon and nervousness and every
thing else that troubled her are gone
and We owe it all TO nothing but Tan
lac"
TanIac fs sold by our regular estab-
lished agency in every town.-(Advt)

Lewis there is real hope for you. Many

You're bilious! You have a throbbing

in your mouth, your eyes burn, your
skin is yellow, with dark rings under
your eyes; your lips are parched. No
wonder you feel ugly, mean and ill

not properly passed of, and what you
need is a cleaning up inside. Don't
continue being a bilious nuisance to
yourself and those who love you, and
don't resort to harsh physics that irri-
tate and inJure. Remember that most
disorders of the stomach, liver and bow
els are cured by morning with gen.

you sleep. A 1O-cent box from your
druggist will keep your liver and bowels
clean: stomach sweet, and your head

The season of Christmas is with US again, and
we are again reminded that what an infinitely wise
God intended by the gift of Redeemer, not
only the promotion of peace on EARTH good will
to men," and redemption for sinful and penitent
man, but the need to create within his self the
growth of sef-discipline and spirituality.
As we sit in our rooms this Christmas eve,
we may think, in moment of detection, that the
story of the birth of Redeemer, has lost its saw
or, because removed from intimate companiunship
with friend or home-folk If we are pessimistic,
this idea may predominant, but to our own injury.
But why should we be hopelessly pessimistic be-
cause the kindly ties of kindred and home are sew
cred for period? Why should the unhappy
past, due to transgresson be forever bar
sinister to seeing the PROMISE of the future.
Is there nothing of promise in present status
to rekindle the fires of hope, even though we
should feel detected and discouraged! Surely we
can convince ourselves, by honest sef-judgment
that the ''bed' we have made is of our own design
But does this fact make it necessary to reject all
hope and faith for better things in the future?
We do not think so.
True. the smiling, kindly faces of friends and
relatives may not be with us in the flesh, but un-
doubtedly they are with US in spirit. And, being
aware of this fact, why not rebuild on this hope
determination to fulfill the expectations of those
who have not lost their faith in uss

our coming" as we do for our going" be that

The idea of redemption provided by God of
infinite wisdom is applicable to our present situa-
tion. We can, if we sincerely desire it, redeem
the past, by that glorious hope that is symboized
ture be real to us, the birth of the Christ
is to all civilized and penitent man. Our present
can be made the manger from which we can grow
into the stature of honored and useful citizenship
Our present moments of reflection and soul
searching reveal to us, If we but will It, better
way to abide in future. We can readily convince
our inner being that not all hope has vanished,
though our SHINING has wrecked us and cast Us as
fotsam on an island of detention' for the present
The searching of own souls for the causes that
cast us the strand, should reveal that these fac
tors can be eliminated, or be minimized in the
future by firmly purposing to discipline ourselves
to avoid the habits and mistaken aims that cast us
ashore"
Rejecting thus, and having created a spirit of
hope let wander into more verdant fields of re-
fection. Let us try more promising, sef-disci-
plined present and future vision-the sunshiny
things that can be ours the greater possibilities
that are before us-aye, present even on the
morrow.
How about trying prompt and cheer
full response to daily duties required of usg How
about doing the work just little better tomorrow
than we did it to-day yesterday. Be assured
that this spirit and elfdiscipline pays and will
increase worth as workmen in the present, and
far more at our re-entrance into society.
How about using little more courtesy toward
authority and fellow inmatesg This kind of self
disciple creates good will, and the returns there
from are valuable assets to use in future How
about little more gratitude for the present-for
in the present we shape future destiny-and
less carping and concern in comparing and crit-
cising? This kind of spirit bring it's own reward
and content.
Determined self discipline toward better habits,
kinder words, cheerful attention, standards and
ideals can make this Christmas one that will be
real, one that will open possibilities and oppor-
tunties we had not thought possible.
The material gifts may enjoy from our
friends and home-f folk, things that feeting,
but the moral progress in character attributes that
secure by constant sef-discipline are permanent
priceless. Sincere endeavor to rebuild the
ashes of past msdeeds and self Disciplined future

Big Sale Thoroughbreds

John Anderson made big deal in
thoroughbred cattle this week when he
sold to M. P. Cook, of Flint, fourteen
head of Shorthorns from his herd for a
consideration close to S200O.0O. The
bunch consisted of eight cows, five
heifers and pure bred sire. Mr..
Cooks selection of these animals was
made after inspecting herds in various
parts of this and other states, and he
will use them as the foundation of an
extensive herd which he designs to
build up. Since the sale was made one
of the cows gave birth to fine pair of
twins. During the week Mr.. Ander-
son also sold fine COW and calf to Har-
ley jennings.

room last Friday, during which the
scholars of that room presented Little
Boy Blue, in the most creditable man.
ner, a mothers club was organized,
with Mrs. w. H. Stout as president;
Mrs. Geo. Walker, secretary, and Mrs.
w. r. Hopkins, treasurer. Mesdames
M. C. Doyle. E. Miller, and H. j Hud-
son were appointed committee to
draft bylaws. The club will meet on
the second Friday in each month, its
object being to cooperate with the
teacher in promoting the efficiency of
the schools. The club thus formed is
the first of three which it is designed to
form in the various departments of the
schools each of which, from the stand
point of home influence and under
standing of the individual characteris-
tics of the boys and girls, will endeavor
to supplement and strengthen the eff
forts of the teachers. 1t would appear
that these clubs can be made of ex-
ceeding value innthis way.

Barn Burns

John Sandersfeld, living two miles
north of town, met with quite loss,
last Friday morning, when his horse
barn and tool house burned to the
ground. Mr.. Sandersfeld used a gas
pipe to convey water from his well to
the barn and was engaged in an effort
to thaw this out where it had frozen
inside the building, which was the
dause of the fire. He was employing a
torch made from rag saturated with
kerosene, the flame from which came
In contact with some loose straw and in
ksat:ery few moments the building was
ablaze. Neighbors quickly came to
Mr.. Sandersfeld's assistance and the
horses which were stabbed in the ground
floor part of the building and the tools
in the basement were saved. There
was little, if any. hay or feed in the
building so that the loss was practically
limited to the building itself. The loss
~ kestimated at $500, with about $50

BOY SCOUTS
SCORE SUCCESS
CROWD APPLAUDS PRESENTATION
OF THEIR PLAY
Down the Black Canon" Proved Boys
and Girls to Have Considerable
Histrionic Ability

Down the Black Canon" staged by
the Boy Scouts at the Auditorium, last
Saturday evening, drew a house that
netted nearly $50. 90 and everybody was
thoroughly entertained from start to
finish. Earl Underhill did finely as John
Andrews, the young mining engineer.
and was charmingly supported by Ruth
Palmer, as Ruth Armour. Miss Eleanor
Acheson, as Minerva Spriggs, wife of
the restful poet, Hiram Spriggs, played
her part with considerable art while
the part of Mr.. Spriggs himself was
well delineated by Carl Underhill,
whose only trouble was the untrust-
worthy character of his whiskers. Ru-
fus Stone, the ''heavy" of the play
was well taken by Ray Mitchell, while
Albert St. Clair was strictly to the
good as Tom Dalton. Lillian Marnien
played Kate Armour very nicely in
deed and Kenneth Erich was first class
in his part. especially in his speech to
the jury of vigilantes, at the trial of
Andrews for murder. The dual part of
Jim Mosier and Solomon Goldstein was
well portrayed by Ralph Bartholomew,
while the remainder of the support was
very good indeed, especially Master
Roy Maltby who played the very diff
cult part of Jimmie, the silent wit
ness" with extraordinary skill and
understanding. st. Clair and Mitchell
and Miss Acheson gave pleasing feat
ures between acts. The play will be
peated by special request Friday evening
and the proceeds will go to help out the
fund to defray camp expenses the COM
ing summer.
