Quick Relief Bangor Man Got
From Tanlac Causes His
Statement.

II don't believe that any medicine can take
the place of Tanlac," said Mortimer Hartt of
80 Wing Street. Bangor, as he explained to the
Tanlac man the relief he had received through
this new remedy.
Il suffered from bad form of stomach
trouble" this Bangor man continued "Instead
of digestin~, my food would sour and cause
gas, which resulted in bl0ating and distress,
and made me feel sitting, suffocating sensa-
ton. because of shortness of breath. did not
seem to be able to eat anything without suffer-
ing great distress. From failure to get proper
nourishment had become all run down, and
was in this condition when began to hear how
Tanlac was relieving others who had been in
the same condition.
Most of my troubles had disappeared by
the time had taken the first bottle, Better
digestion ended the gas and bloating and gen.
eral distress, and gave me new strength. Be-
cause of the quick relief got, don't believe
there is any medicine that can take the place
of Tanlac''
"Tanlac is designed to act as tonic stomach
rem dy and system purifier at once" said the
Tanlac Man. Having po mineral taint Tanlac
is not mysterious in its action. But being
purely vegetable, it acts naturally on the stom-
ach. 1t is designed appetizer and invig-
GRANT, and to cause proper digestion that means
more strength and a rehabilitation of the

Tanac is now being especially introduced in
Belfast at the City Drug Store. and may be OBJ

MARCH
By Helen Hunt Jackson
Beneath the sheltering walls the thin snow
cllngs
Dead winters skeleton left bleaching, white,
Disj ointed. crumbing, on unfriendy fields.
The inky pools surrender tsrdily
Al noon. to patient herds, frosty drink
From Jagged rims of ice; subtle red
OF life is kindli g every twig and stalk
Of lowly meadow growths: the willows wrap
Their stems in furry white; the pines grow
gray
little in the biting wind; midday
Brings tiny burro@ed c. eatures, peeping out
Alert for Ah March! we know thou art
kind-h =arted. spite of ugly looks and threats,
And out OF sight, art nursing April's violets!

THE LIBRARIANS REPORT.

To the Trustees of the Belfast Free Lii
brary:
have the honor to submit the twenty
ninth annual report of the Belfast Free
Library.
The people of Belfast are to be con-
graduated on the possession of its Lii
brary, which, in number of volumes,
ranks seventh in size among the libraries
of the State, the larger libraries being
located in cities of much greater popu-
lation, Portland, Bangor, Lewiston, Bath,
Auburn and Saco And not only in num-
Der of volumes is the Belfast Free Lii
nrary remarkable for city of this size,
for the collection of books is exceedingly
we'll selected, including many volumes of
value.
Registration.
The number of people who have re-
gistered at the Library since September
1905 has been $3.50. AS this number in
cluded many names long since withdrawn,
during the past year we have made new
list of library patrons by which the total
number of cards in actual use is !, 1868, of
which 173 are new names added since our
last report.
Circulation.
The usefulness of the Library to the
community has been testified by large
circulation and good attendance in the
reading room. A decrease in the number
of adult fiction loaned may be attributed
to several causes, moving pictures and
automobiles, but perhaps, principally to
the fact that, during the last two years
we have been unable to purchase our
former supply of current fiction, owing
to non-payment of the Boston & Maine
stock dividends, which was one source of
the book fund. 1t is the more gratifying,
therefore, to report gain in the number
Of juvenile books taken tor home
the reading room has been noticeable.

CARE OF BOOKS
STORY HOUR.


A Story Hour, conducted fifteen Satur-
day afternoons from January to May 1916
in the PIERCE School was a successful
undertaking which gave pleasure to many
children and brought new juvenile patrons
to the Library. The average attendance
was forty five. The story tellers, two
each afternoon, were ladies who kindly
gave their services, each entertaining the
children for half an hour. We are very
grateful for this assistance and feel that
the demand for repetition of the story
hour this winter has expressed the ap-
probation of the children. A similar
program has been arranged from Feb
uary to May for this year, which promises
to be equally successful.
BUILDING.
No steps have been taken during the
past year toward enlarging the building,
and every year the necessity for addition
al shelf room becomes more urgent. 1t
is to be regretted that cur excellent IL
brary equipment fails in me sure to
fulfil its purpose because of lack of room.
We need Children's Room and we need
a Reading Room. We cannot give the
public library service in keeping with our
creditable collection of books until these
two rooms have been built.
In closing, it is pleasure to express
my appreciation of the assistance and
support of all library officials, and to
thank the friends of the Library who
have served as story-teilers.
Respectfully submitted,
ANNIE LEONORA BARR,
Librarian.
