 T was always a healthy man until June, 1915, he continued, when I had serious attack which confined me to bed for three months, and left me with troubles that developed pleurisy and other complications. I underwent sever al operations and tried many different medicines, but couldn't get rid of the catching pains in my hips and the small of my back and a hurting all through my feet and legs. and for a long time 1 was entirely helpless. My kidneys were also affected and my system seemed to be poisoned with uric acid.
 From the very time I began taking this Tanlac, l improved until I am now feeling like new man in every way. The pains in my side have left me en- tirely; I haven't sign of trouble with my kidneys, the pains have left my lower limbs and I am in better shape than have been for many months. I sure am glad to say good word for Tanlac. for 1t has put me on my feet again"

It has been a remark commonly heard here since Secretary McAdoo made the statement that when the Senate first heard it astounded it's members because it was apparent that the secretary looked for the securing and expenditure of $17,- 00000 GOO in the first P months of the war, that this statement of itself will teach valuable object lesson. It will cause Americans to sit up and think and when they have done this they will realize that We have begun war not so much to aid France and England as to nrotact ourselyes

Some have doubted our ca pacity to transport men and supplies suf- ficient to maintain American fighting strength across the sea- But the best opinion seems to be that we shall be able to transport the men and the supplies although it may be a year before ade- quate resources necessary for this work can be secured by the United States
