Was Sick in Bed Three Weeks Be.
fore She Started Taking
Tanlac.
IMPROVEMENT WONDERFUL
Could Not Keep Even Cold Water on
Her Stomach at One Time,
Strong and Hearty Now.

Though she declared her condition
at one time was so bad that sbe
could not keep even cold water or
her stomach, Mrs. j. G. johnson, OF
b67 North Church ST., Spartanburg
declared Tanlac made such rapid
Improvement in her condition that it
got her out of bed and enabled her
TO do light housework in three DAYS
Mrs. Johnson's remarkable statement
and endorsement of Tanlac follows:
II mad catarrhal fever and what I
think was slight case of the grippe.
l was very much sick at my stomach
and l vomited so much l could not
keep even cold water on my stomach,
much less my food. 1 had dizzy,
fainty spells lot, too. I had be-
come so weak and sick that 1 had to
stap in bed. l staped in bed three
weeks and could not even sit up, and
| was under treatmen ally the time,
but did not seem to be- getting any
relief, except that ndusea was helped.
did not gain any strength at all,
though, and I finally lost heart in
that way of trying q to regain my
health, and l thgew away all medi-
cines and begaH sing Tanlac.
"a friend whose husband had been
helped ever 80 much by it kept after
me until Ifbegan taking this medi-
cine, and she certainly did me great
kindnesstby doing so, too.
"My relief by using Tanlac was as
follows: I was able to be up and
going to the table and eating reg
ular meal and doing light housework
in three days, and in a week 1 dis
charged the cook and began doing my
housework myself. l was able to go
to church five days after l started
taking Tanlac. The Tanlac gave me
back my appetite right at the start,
and soon drove away that nausea
that then had at times, and could
just feel myself getting stronger
right alang.
II never have known any medicine
that would make a sick person get
we'll so quickly, especially one who
was as sick as 1 was. I just took
two bottles and l am feeling fine now
and am still getting stronger and
heartier, even if it has been a month
since took the last dose of Tanlac.
I am a great deal stronger now than
1 was before / got sick, and I am in
far better health than l have been
in a year or 50. The Tanlac sure
did make me we'll quickly. 1t was
just wonuerful.
''Tanlac is due all the praise for
getting me we'll, too, and l certainly
do praise Tanlac"

A Wise Old Custom.

Brooklyn Eagle: Some gray
headed men who grew up in New
England remember the custom that
prevailed in many families of max
ing boy or girl "clear the plate, "
or eat what was left at another meal
before getting anything else. That
was not irrational nor cruel. The
child was permitted to help himself
or herself. If too much was taken
the discipline of having to eat it
sooner or later was wholesomely ed
ucative. We may get back to it.
Waste is never justified in prosper
GUS families or other families. It is
a big element in giving children an
utterly false idea Of what makes
prosperity, at least in binding
youngsters to the vitalism of thrift,
on which all accumulation is based.

FORT DODGE BRIDGE
GUARDS FIRED upon
Exchange Shots With Two Bands Of
xaranden Whs wssr Pruwling
About at Night.

Fort Dodge, June 9.-Guardsmen
of Company +, First Iowa infantry.
exchanged shots Thursday evening
with two bands of marauders who
were prowling about the bridge. No
casualties are reported except horse
that was found dead next morning.
While Private Reid of West Bend
was patrolling one section of the
bridge he was ordered to throw up
his hands. He Immediately opened
fire upon the man, who returned the
fire. The bullet passed close enough
to- young Reid SO that 1t could be
heard. Three men are known to
have been in the band.
Earlier Thursday evening five shots
were exchanged between guards on
the west side of the river and marau-
ders who shot from under cover Of
the woods. No casualties were re-
ported in this engagement.
Guards were doubled during the
night, but no more was seen of the
gang. 1t is thought that the assail-
ants had designs upon the bridge.
No clues as to their identity have
been uncovered.

A DELIVERY BOY
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT
Bernard Edwards, Son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Edwards, Suffers
Broken Leg.

Bernard Edwards, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Edwards, met with an acci-
dent Friday afternoon in which
he sustained broken leg, causing
him much pain and will necessitate
his walking on crutches for some
time. Bernard had just accepted a
job as delivery boy on the John c.
Smith cooperative delivery, and
while leaving the Hugh Thompson
home on the east side, slipped and
fell. The fall stunned him for a few
moments, but he was finally able to
summon the neighbors to his assist
ance. They put him in the delfyery
wagon and took him to his home. A
physician was called and found the
large bone in the left leg broken
between the knee and ankle.
