Head of Great Firm
Doubles His Work.
GARLICK AMONG NEW YORK
ERS DOING GREAT THINGS
WAS TALL RUN DOWN"
WIDELY KNOWN BUSINESS MAN
TELLS STORY THAT WILL
ENCOURAGE HUNDREDS.

In the list of the men of New
York who have done big things is
that name of Morris Garlick. This
man is Secretary of the Down
Town Taxpayers Association of
Brooklyn, representing SlO,OOO,o0o
in realty holdings aloI in the
heart of the great business district.
He was largely responsible for
Brooklyn's noted Flatbush extern
sion, the great traffic artery from
the new Manhattan Bridge. He Is
head of M. Garlick & Company of
lsl Gold Street.
Prominent in the real uplift work
of the worlds greatest city, he holds
the deep respect of thousands with
whom he comes in contact in busi
ness, political, church and fraternal
affairs. Since boyhood, and for As
years, he has labored. He is now
81 years old. 1t is only natural
that, with all his activities, the
strain should begin to tell.
Maybe I have overworked," F"
said Mr.. Garlick, but, at any rate,
I began 20 suffer from broken rest,
loss of appetite. failure to assimilate
the nourishment I needed, and nerv-
ousuess," he explained. 1t is
what the average man calls all run
down. and there are lot of us in
every city. I felt as if l needed
something to build me up-some-
thing that would bring back the
strength I was losing; something
that would help take away the wor-
ries, give me real appetite, tone
up my stomach and whole system
and quiet my nerves. Through
friends I heard of new medicine,
Tanlac, aad decided that if it could
help others it ought to help me,
too, so I tried Tanlac. And now
he continuation work is his big
thought in life-'I can do twice as
much work as I could before. My
nerves are quiet, l rest we'll, l enjoy
meals because my stomach digests
my food, | am stronger and feel
wonderfully better"
When men like Morris Garlick
endorse medicine, there can be no
further proof asked. He felt it was
his duty to tell of Tanlac to help
others. No other medicine ever
has won such support. Because

The Surplus be Large.

When we remember that our pop
ulation has had a marvellous growth
in recent years and that manufac-
turing and transportation have a
large number of farm laborers we
need not wonder that the war has
contributed it's influence 50 soon for
higher prices of foods.
Our urban population has grown
rapidly and at the expense of rural
communities.
According to statistics about
two-thirds of our people lived in
the country so years ago and one
third in cities and towns. Now
there are almost two-thirds of the
people in cities and towns and but
about one-third on farms producing
food for the people. This means
that whereas one family ON the
farm half century ago produced a
very small surplus now one family
must produce surplus sufficient to
feed two families in cities and
towns. 1t is said the farmers obli-
cation now is nearly four times
what it was so years ago.
How will it be with farmers at
the close of the war? No one can
answer that question for no one
knows when the war will end or the
condition of the people when peace
is made. But it does not seem that
the demand for food will be much
less at least for many years after
peace is declared. One thing we
should remember, that is farmers
now have the greatest opportunity
of any other people. Farm and
Ranch believes they will make good
use of their opportunities. While
they may have temptations to re-
taliate for the manner in which
speculators and unfair middlemen
have treated them Farm and Ranch
expects that farmers will be just,
honorable and fair as the majority
of them have always been.-Farm
