1t is nothing unusual for men of
prominence to endorse Tanlac, as over
twenty-five thousand endorsements
have been given Tanlac within the
past year alone. These endorsements
have come from people representing
practically every walk of life includ-
ing Bankers, Lawyers, Judges, Doc
tors, prominent Government, State and
County officials, prominent men of af-
fairs, ETC., but 1t is noteworthy fact
that In this particular instance two
well-known bankers of the South have
on the same day voluntarily written
an expression Of their gratitude for
publication, telling what Tanlac has
done for them.
In this connection one of the best
known newspaper publishers of the
South recently said:
II know that there are at least
thousand people in this city who
would be glad to endorse Tanlac," and
what Is true Of that city is true Of
practically every other city of the
South and West; in fact, throughout
the entire country wherever this med
icine has been sold.
The fame and popularity of Tanlac,
as everyone knows, has swept over the
whole country like wildfire and is now
a household word from coast to coast.
Although placed on the market a
little over two years ago over seven
million bottles have already been sold,
and the demand is constantly increas-
ing.

Old Looks &?
(BY DIR. L. H. SMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation Is of the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as 1t is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package of Anuric.

democratic sovereign, gifted with COM

Conditions under which The Associat-
ed Press correspondent recently made
his acquaintance illustrate the demo-
cratic side of his character. The cor
respondent was calling upon friend

when a knock at the door was heard
and without further formality tall Of
ficer entered, shook hands, shed his
oyercoat, which he threw on bed, and
embarked in informal conversation. II
was Poland's future sovereign who
had thus made his way to the hot9l
room without even calling the services
of an attendant when he learned that q
&C correspondent of an American news
agency was there.
The Archduke conversed with the
greatest cordially, displaying an
intimate knowledge and keen interest
concerning conditions of American life,
and volunteered his assistance to fac
ilitate the newspaperman's work. He
was particularly impressed with the
Importance of the press in America and
lamented the fact that the newspapers
did not play such g role in Austria
Hungary. He voiced as we'll as mani
tested his belief in democratic customs
and declared that he had deliberately
urged two of his youngest sons, who
had graduated from the Austrian Mil
itary Academy the day before, to take
commissions in ordinary line regi-
ments instead of in one of the favorite
guard organizations. In the thick OF
the fighting in the Carpathians the
Archduke has been living as simply as
his snbalterns, learning at first hand
the environment of the officers and
soldiers from the ranks of his people
His two sons have followed his sugges-
ton, like their elder brother, Charles
