REGAINS HER HEALTH
AFTER YEARS QUEST.
Lewiston Woman Finds Relief
From Stomach Worries in
Tanlac.

Mrs. George L. Hatch, "a Sabattus
street, Lewiston, was confident she would
find relief from her stomach worries II
she kept trying.
"At last found it in Tanlac," she told
the Tanlac Man at Babcock's drug store.
"Tanlac has given me relief and am glad
to recommend it.
II used to have stomach troubles which
greatly distressed me. After eating l
would have gas in my stomach, with
belchiDg and bloating. / would suffer
pain, too. 1 lost my appetite and was
bilious. At night would be restless.
RELIEF IN TANLAC.
TRY a. would could get no relief ex-
cept in Tanlac. 1t has given me fne ap-
petite, and 1 can eat almost anything ]
desire without any bad effects"
The Tanlac Man had this to say in COM
menting on Mrs. Hatch's case:
1.-THE best thing most sick people can
them. Experience has taught me that
most sickness is the result of disordered
digestion. The relief OF that condition is
best accomplished by simple methods
which permit Nature to restore normal
functions OF the digestive organs.
BUILD UP HEALTH.
'sTanlac is . vegetable tonic composed
OF the best ingredients for reconstructive
to encourage appetite, aid digestion, pro-
mote assimilation and thus build up health

You'd hardly know the old place now
For dad is up-to-date,
And the farm 10 scientific
From the back lot to the gate.
The house and barn are lighted
With bright acetylene;
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasoline;
We have silos, we have autos.
We have dynemos and things;
A telephone for gossip.
And q phonograph that sings.
The hired man has left us;
We miss his homely face;
A lot Of college graduates
Are working in his place.
There's an engineer and fireman,
A chauffeur and q vet,
Electrician and mechanic
Oh, the farms run right, you bet.
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn,
Now brightens up bathroom
That cost a car of corn.

And she's sanitary, too;
But dad gets fifteen cents a quart
For milk that once brought two.

Thanks to all who sent Thanksgiving

Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1916-12-06
Dear M. B. Friends:

Sometimes / don't quite approve OF
parodies: they seem to rob the originals OF
their best ideas and influence; but GER
tainly the difference between the above
and the original is no greater than the
actual changes that have come to pass in
real life since Thomas Hood wrote the
first ~ Remember" II it were allowable
to make parodies out OF prose. it would
almost seem that Billy Sunday made use
of that privilege, in such Bible stories %
the lives Of Jacob and Esau and their re-
spective parents; nevertheless we can
only admit, though we can never explain
or understand, the wonderful power that
Billy Sunday has over human hearts.
Another Thanksgiving day has passed.
To many, pleasant memories will long be
associated with it. To those who felt the
loneliness of the day 1t is perhaps q re-
lief to know it is among the things OF the
past.
To most, the visions and preparations of
Christmas appear in the near future. The
magazines and papers are filled with
patterns and descriptions and hints and
suggestions Of what one can make or do
for Christmas; but many find lack OF time
the barrier, in carrying out these pretty
and useful designs. Those who "begsn
early" were the wise ones.
II all could realize it is the being re-
membered that counts, not the debt and
credit system. the spirit OF the season
would be entirely one OF "good will, ;" and
the good will comes in the anticipation OF
the festivities and remembrances Of the
day. Everyone's sympathies broaden,
and the opportunities Of the holidays are
very many.
As you read that about the "oppor-
tunitiee," hear some Of you, somew hat
oppressed by the problems and burdens
Of the few weeks following, grooming
under those conditions. Don't forget to
"be cheerful"

It's sad tale mates, but Just such one as might be
expected from the organs newspapers and otherwise
party that cannot understand how any political organ
ization exist without boss to pay oils and tell
1t what to do The truth is that Governor Hatfield
was the boss OF the Republican party in this state AS
the Of the state he is the natural leader of the
party Just Woodrow Wilson, by virtue of the office he
holds, is the natural leader Of the Democratic party
in the nation. Governor Hatfield however would not for
instant think of going the lengths that President
Wilson goes In asserting his position the head OF the
political organization to which he belongs Hatfield has
always been content to recognize that others entitled
to equal voice in the party council and there is not
danger that he will change his mind in that respect
during the life Of the administration when such
man as Judge Robinson is in the gubernaoral chair
