Mr.. H. w. Miller, at Jacobs
pharmacy, recently.
Fourteen years ago had a

these troubles all right, but,
strange to say, it helped my arm,
too. Yes, sir, it has actually
made my arm so much better
that / can now do a lot of work
something | 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 neighbors who have
known me for years will tell you
the same thing.
Going back to my other trou-
BILE, l suffered a great deal from
my back and joints, and was SO
nervous all the time ! couldn't
sleep much. Sometimes / would
get so nervous and strung-up
that the least noise would almost
make me Jump out of bed before
lIcouid control myself.
my stomach was all out OF
shape, too, and I couldn't eat to
do and good. Nothing seemed
to taste right, and | got so final
ly | would have vomiting spells
after trying to eat. To tell you
the truth, l was in a mighty bad
fix and was getting weaker and
weaker all the time. | don't
feel that way now, and after
taking only three bottles of this
Tanlac, haye gained 13 pounds
in weight, besides my stomach
feels just like | had had a new
one put in, and | eat and sleep
just like a school boy. The rhu-
matte pains are all gone, and
am feeling better and stronger
IN every way.
1t has helped my wife, too.
She is now on her second bottle,
and it is doing her more good
than anything she has tried in
years. She was in almost as bad
a fix as | was and it has relieved
her Of ailments she has had for
a long time. Both of US think
there is nothing too good to say
about Tanlac, and | can under.

In setting be sure to get all
roots Strengthened out and the
dirt packed well around them.
Tramp the dirt Just as solid as
possible with your feet. leaving
only three or four inches of
loose soil on top.
If the tree is a straight whip
with no branches, cut it off 16 to
Is inches above the ground. If
the tree is branched, cut out the
maip stem so as to leave 3 to 4
side branches. This should leave
a stem not more than 2 feet tall.
Pruning can be done any time
before the trees begin growth in
the spring. Now is the best
time. This is a job that must be
done every year and not once in
5 to 6 years.
Spraying is necessary for sue
cessful fruit growing. Secure
the spray outfit now, and get
enough ofthe chemicals necessary
to do the spraying for the COM
ing season. Pay enough to get
a good outfit and good chemicals.
An outfit with an air compression
chamber is best hs it puts the
spray liquid on the trees with
greater force.
Spray for the San Jose Scale
as soon as possible. One gallon
of the commercial lime sulphur
solution to nine gallons of water
is the proper strength. Be sure
that the spray reaches every

it will not do the work. Leonard

You Are Not Exempt

The fact that you have not been selected to
go to the front as fighting unit for the defense
OF your country does not exempt you from patri
otto service.
You may be over age, you may be under
height, you may have defective physique or inn
perfect health, but these do not disqualify you
from being man and doing your part at home
where most Of the work Of winning the war is to
be done.
Your earnings may be small, you may have
few savings or none, but so long as you have any
earning power whatever you can serve your coun-
try best in this tremendous crisis by making a
fresh effort at saving and investing in Liberty
Loan bond.
Help to support soldier at the front Back
of each soldier must stand the dollars OF the
American people. The masses of the people must
rise to the emergency and raise this $4,000, OOO,-
900 loan invite defeat in Europe and the dicta-
ton of terms of peace by Germany.
All wealth springs from the earnings of the
people. And all the nations activities must be
paid for out Of the purses of the people. You
want peace and you will have to pay for it before
you can secure it.
Either you will pay for it in defeat or in vic
tory. A defeated nation would have to pay for
defeat with indemnities in order to redeem its
trade and it's allies from the heel of the victor.
