The organism of the average stor-

the human body. 1t is subject, as is
mans system, to both oyerfeeding and

your battery to become rundown or
oyerfed. IL You do this, says P. NJ.

nine-tenths of your battery trouble
and at the same time save money.
"A storage battery says Smoot, "is

THE CAPTURE OF JERUSALEM.

! The capture of the city of Jerusalem is
of twofold significance, first because it
marks the rescue of the Holy City from
| Turkish domination after four centuries
of continuous subjugation, and, second
because it means the whitening away OF
the Turkish menace to the Suez canal,
owned and controlled by the British gov
eminent. The initial motive which
prompted the British government to be
gin the campaign in Jerusalem was no
doubt a desire to remove the Turkish
and Germanc menace from that most
important artery of British trade and
communication, the Suez canal. At the
outset of the war the Turks, probably
under direction from Berlin, began an of
fensive which had for its aim the de-
stroying of this artery of trade and com
munication, with perhaps foray into
British territory in Egypt. They came
so near to accomplishing their purpose
that the British government was alarmed
and the necessity of clearing out the
Turks from Palestine became apparent,
Therefore, it is more easy TO see why the
British placed so much emphasis on this
which has been making q vic
torious march from the Suez canal north
and into Palestine and straight to Jeru
salem, the heart of the country The
capture of Jerusalem means virtual dom
nation of the country by the British
for the forces under Gen
eral Allenby have traversed the greater
part of the distance from the south to
the north boundary. The Suez canal and /
the British possessions in Egypt are thus
safe so long as the arms of the central
powers are checkmated elsewhere, or de
feated.

II is too bad that the men aboard the
United States destroyer Jacob Jones
could not have had chance to die fight
ing rather than to become victims OF
stealth; yet the warship destroyed
counts for the enemy no matter in what
way it is destroyed. The loss of part OF
the crew of the Jacob Jones is severe
shock to the American people; it is a
slight reminder of what our present al
lies have had to suffer for three years
and five months. But the Jacob Jones
had already done good work although it
had been in service but comparatively
short time.

A government thrift card partially
filed with thrift stamps would make a

possession of it might induce some young
persons TO continue the saving process in
order to complete the card and become
the owner of an interest bearing secur-
ity. Eventually, too, the fact of posses
sion of one of these filled-out thrift cards
might serve as an inducement to the
taking out of another and still another

Election of patriotism to permit flags to

they are ripped into mere shreds by the

Not ~Be a Living Man Today"
After suffering forty years with
his physical troubles, D D Gordon,
of 720 Seventh St, Olympia, a su-
burb of Columbia, on October %
declared that Il just can't praise
Tanlac high enough, and four dol
lars worth of Tanlac completely
broke up my troubles after hundreds
of dollars worth of other medicines
had failed to even help me. %
Continuing, Mr. Gordon said:
Il suffered from stomach trouble,
some kidney trouble and a disorder
of the bowels. l had these troubles,
especially the indigestion, for about
forty years. After meals felt all
puffed up. l was in considerable
pain, and my stomach was so dis
ordered that my food was not di-
gested. l suffered constantly with
severe form of bowel trouble and
my food often passed through me
before it was hardly more than half
digested. Severe pain often aggra-
vated that trouble, too.
Though 1 had tried great many
kinds of medicines that were said to
be good for my troubles, I just kept
on getting worse and 1 had about
lost hope OF getting well, and. if 1
had not gotten Tanlac when l did, 1
do not believe l would be living
man today. Really, 1 do think
Tanlac has kept me from the grave.
when I was told about Tanlac, l
had taken so much medicine that /
had no more faith in medicine, as
1t all had failed me, but my neigh
bors kept telling me of Tanlac and
finally / gave my son dollar and
told him to buy me a bottle. When
l started taking Tanlac / was in
awful shape and it had been months
since I had gotten a good nights
rest. The first bottle did me no
good at all, so far as I could tell,
and did not want to get any more,
as thought l was just throwing my
money away by buying Tanlac just
as had when l bought the other
medicines. My wife kept after me.
though, and 1 bought the second
bottle.
The second bottle was half gone
before I began to feel better. Then
the Tanlac took hold Of my troubles
and now they have been completely
broken up. Four bottles gave me
complete relief and I am in fine
health now.
The Tanlac gave me a good ap-
petite, and now l eat three big meals
a day though l used to never eat a
bite of breakfast for my system was
in such bad shape 1 never was hun
cry in the mornings. l have gain
ed a good deal in weight. too, but l
have not weighed recently, so l can't
say just how many pounds.
/ can now eat cabbage, fish or
beef, three things which were like
poison to me before l took Tanlac.
The Tanlac also drove away that
sleeplessness and rest like a child
now.
Il Recommend Tanlac now be-
cause | want the world to know
what it did for me, so they will be
able to take it. 1 have persuaded a
lot of people to take Tanlac, for it is
wonderful.
