When ministers of some Of the great
est communions in the land indOrse
Tanlac their words carry conviction.
They say what they know to be the
truth. They have put Tanlac to the
test Of personal service and have not
found it wanting.
The proprietors of Tanlac have re-
ceived countless testimonials from peo-
pie in every walk of life, earnestly
commencing it. Among them are a
number from prominent ministers of
various churches. A few of these are
printed below.
Rev. W. G. Norton Is pastor Of the
Wesley Memorial church Of Jackson
Vile, Fla. He says:-'T suffered from
chronic indigestion for years. I seldom
slept well and had severe headaches.
Since taking Tanlac I feel as well as
ever 1 did-sleep splendidly and eat
anything l want. Tanlac has restored
my health and I feel it my duty to
recommend it."
Rev. A. II. Sykes, pastor Of Watkins
Park Presbyterian church, Nashville
Tenn, says:-Mrs. Sykes suffered
from stomach and kidney troubles and
q nervous breakdown. Tanlac restored
her health-she Is gaining strength
and flesh rapidly-her full restoration
is but a question Of time"
Rev. e. G. Butler, pastor Of Central
Baptist church, Muskogee, Okla,
says :-T had attacks Of acute indiges-
ton. Results from taking Tanlac have
been most satisfactory-am glad to
recommend 1t as the best medicine
have ever tried"
Rev. f. NJ. Winburn, Methodist, San
Antonio, Tex, says q had no appe-
tite-suffered from weakness and gen.
eral debility-could not work without
quickly firing. Found Tanlac just
what my system needed. 1 consider
Tanlac a good medicine to build up

LAWYERS Got II After All.

The inseparable Simpkinson broth
ers of Los Angeles decided that they
would save the expenses of lawyers
fees in case of the death of one of
them by making out checks to each
other. One of them died recently and
the other took the check for the
amount Of his estate to the bank. The
bank refused payment because the au-
thor of the check had died, and the
lawyers got the money after all.

age cost of hauling over the common
country roads is IS cents a ton per
mile, or s. ton for a 12-mile haul.
An estimate places the total tons
hauled at 3OO,OOO,OO0 a year. On the
estimate of So a ton for II miles this

ROAD ; :.
BUILDING:
HURRY GOOD ROADS BUILDING
Country to Profit In Future From
Highways Built ~ Necessity Of
Warfare and Defense,

It IL the general opinion Of motor
lists arriving in Washington from all
parts Of the country that the war
with Germany is acting as 9 sharp
prod to speed up road building.
Whatever the war costs the nation
In dollars and lives, it will result in
the building of thousands Of miles Of
disable roads in all sections, for these
highways are now rated as one of the
necessities of, warfare and defense,
says Washington Star.
Possibilities of an invasion are re-
mote, but now that it has been decid-
ed to send an expeditionary force
abroad, 1t is certain that other thou
sands will follow, hence the mobiliza-
ton of troops on the seaboard is some
thing not to be overlooked.
Railroads are up to their ears in
other work and have shown their lack
Of equipment to meet ordinary de-
mands Of a period Of fast growth and
an attendant increase Of consumption.
So other means may have to be relied
upon to hustle the boys in khaki to the
ports, whence they will sail for the
front. For this purpose the motor We
hicle is ready, and all 1t needs to add
to it's wonderful record Of efficiency in
a pinch is q system of roads which can
be Travelled ia safety and at speed dur
Ing all seasons. -"
Here on the East, where the troops
will be massed before sailing, good
roads are considered as Of vital inter.
est to the nation just as the raising
Of vegetables in fields and yards which
heretofore have produced nothing.
Throughout the Atlantic area the
road builders are hard at it, and, in
spite Of the urgency Of the calls for
men for other purposes, help Is being
enlisted in the cause
An immense amount Of road building
work Is being done in the South, and
in the Central West thousands Of miles
Of roads are under way, these forming
the connecting link and making pos
sible hurried trips If such are needed.
Experts point out that automobiles can
take an army of 100000 men from the
Middle West to New York in less time
than can the railroads, and when the
highways are improved great cut

DO NOT OVERHEAD RADIATOR
Good Deal Of Trouble May Result Dur.
Ing Summer Months II Necessary
Precaution 10 Not Taken.

The motor car is heir to certain sea-
sonable troubles, for which provision
must be made In advance, If one is to
ride In comfort. In winter the freez:
Ing Of cooling water must be guarded
against by using an antifreezing mix
ture. In summer just the other ex-
IRENE, Overheating, must be guarded
against. There are a number of things
that may cause this trouble, and to
prevent it all the sources must be
overhauled.
To begin with, the radiator ought
to be drained, to see If the water runs
freely throughout the entire length. By
pouring water into the empty radiator
It may be determined very easily
whether or not the water is flowing
through freely. Often enough there
may be an obstruction, preventing rap
Id flow, which turns out to be
simply some minor sediment around
the drain-cock. In this case a.match
thrust upward will clear away the OBJ
struction. If there is an overflow
pipe, this is possible location Of trou-
BILE, as dirt often gathers around the
lower opening. The rubber connec-
tons in the cooling system ought to
be taken out and the inside examined.
If the fabric Is broken and hanging,
renew the connections. The fan belt
should be carefully looked over, given
a dose of oil, and frightened up Il
