"Tanlac is the best medicine

Anderson, in a statement she gave
May 23d. "Tanlac certainly did help
me wonderfully. l took it for a

never did feel well. / really felt
completely broken down, and in the
mornings l felt as badly as when |
went to bed, for l did not sleep we'll

strength enough to do my work.
But the Tanlac did me more good
than any other medicine | have ever

| to Mr.. McAdoo's zeal and ability.
Not satisfied to remain i'm his Office
taking his ease, he went directly to
the people and in series of remark
able addresses in various cities made
liberty loans successful beyond the
expectation Of the most sanguine.
The plans for insuring the soldiers
and sailors and the last new fnan-
cal proposition, War Saving Certifi-
Gates, have proven that Mr.. McAdoo
possesses not only great financial
ability but wise craftsmanship.
We do not believe this estimate Of
Mr.. McAdoo's sagacity is over
drawn. We quote from the Phila-
dclphia Record the statement that,
"thcrc is more tangible evidence of
the confidence Of the financial world
in him than any previous Secretary
the Treasury ever had from Alexan-
der Hamilton down."
And the Literary Digest, that great
journal, strong and Impartial, pays
this deserved tribute to Mr.. McAdoo:
Secretary McAdoo that big man
Of the United States Treasury, who
not only is the Presidents strong arm
in the great task of financing Ameri-
ca in the war, but who is confronted
with the stupcndous problem of fin
ancing the whole world of our Allies
and Of destitute ncutrals, and
is solving that almost impossible
problcm with marvellous success, has
gone straight 10 the American peo-
pie and has declared to them that
Every man in this country must be a
patriot, and every man who in these
times does not feel in his soul The IRE
OF America is not Il patriot
The people of the United States,
irrespective of party, nuSt now agree
that in making Woodrow Wilson
president they made a wise choice
and that the President made a wise
choice in making Mn. G.. McAdoo
Secretary Of the Treasury.
