OVER SEVEN MILLION BOTTLES SOLD AND DISTRIBUTED IN LESS THAN TWO
 YEARS TIME.
SUCCESS PHENOMENAL
Fame Of the Medicine Spreads Over Whole Nation-Now Sold From
 Coast to Coast.

NEVER before, perhaps, in all his V tory has the demand for a pro prietary medicine ever approached the wonderful record that is now being made by Tanlac, the celebrated medi- cine which has been accomplishing such remarkable results in all parts of the country.
 From Coast to Coast and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes. Tanlac is known and honored. Millions have taken It and have pronounced 1t the greatest medicine ever given to the people, and the only explanation of Tanlac's triumph in the medical world is Tanlac's true worth. Back of Tan laos triumph in the drug stores is Tanlac's triumph in the homes. IL is the peoples medicine and the people themselves have made Tanlac what 1t is.
 No matter where you go. Tanlac Is . household word and 1t is unques- tionably the most widely talked-of medicine in the world today. One per son invariably tells another about a medicine that helps him and in this way scores or even hundreds may hear of Taniac as a direct result of one bottle in single home.
 The first bottle of Tanlac to reach the public was sold just a little over two years ago in the thriving little city of Lexington. Ny, where 20OO0 bottles of the medicine were sold in only a few months. Since that time there have been sold throughout the United States something over seven and a quarter million bottles. and a romance which has no parallel In the modern business world has begun.
 The instant and phenomenal success which Tanlac won in Lexington has been duplicated In practically every large town. small town. village and hamlet In North America, Hawaii. Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and other American possessions have clamored for Tanlac
 Just few months ago, 1t was an- nounced in the Atlanta papers that twenty-two carloads, 265,iT6 bottles of Tanlac had been sold through the At lanta office alone. Since that time
 
 the grand total now stands at over million and half. or to be exact, 1.695. .2o4 bottles.
 These are actual figures, and the fact that one hundred and fifty-eight carloads of Tanlac have been sold and shipped into the South and West since the first day of October. 1915. Is a matter of record and can easily be verified
 One retail firm alone. the Jacobs Pharmacy Co.,. of Atlanta. have sold the astonishing total of 6i,OOO bottles within the past twelve months. What is true of Atlanta, Is also true of prac- tically every large city of the South and West. where the sales have been correspOndingly large.
 The greatest drug firms of the coun- try have voluntarily come forward and stated in plain, cold figures, the rec ord breaking sales everywhere, as is

evidenced by the startling sales rec ords shown in the following figures:
 Texas and Oklahoma dealers have sold in only five months time the as- tonishing total of approximately five hundred thousand bottles or an aver age of 100000 bottles per month. smashing all worlds records.
 Memphis jobber and retailers have sold since April 8. 1916, 25l,316 bottles.
 Atlanta jobber and retailer have sold since October l6. 1915. 1s6,4s0 bottles.
 Birmingham jobber and retailers have sold since August IS. 1915. 15s,- 9T6 bottles.

 Jacksonville jobber and retailer have sold since January %, 1916, 666ee bottles
 Montgomery jobher and retailer have sold since January 19, 1916. S,1S4 bottles.
 These enormous sales" said G. F Willis. Southern and Western Dis tributor of Tanlac. mean but one thing, and that is-nerit. Tanlac is we'll advertised, IL Is true. but such a large and rapidly growing demand could not be brought about by adyer- Using alone. It's what the neighbOrs say that counts. One bottle is sold in a neighborhood through advertising. but ten more are sold in that commu- nifty after the first bottle produces re suits"

Testing the Soil.

Test your garden soil for acidity. Procure a dimes worth of blue lit- mus paper al a drug store. Make slit or incision in the damp soil. put fin a paper two-thirds its length and leave it for half-hour. If the change of color is to red or deep pink your soil needs heavy lining. If there is no change of color lining will be of little value.

YES! MEDICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT
 WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezope." This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 A few drops of this new ether con- pound applied directly upon a tender. aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in . moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order a small bottle fror his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

Housing Go. To

tee of the Bridgeport Housing CO. at

committee to investigate methods of
assisting tenants to own their own

mittee are Samuel M. Hawley. Walter
B. Lashar, the manager of the hous-
ing company. w. H. Ham, who will
confer with the president, H. H. De-
Loss on ways of financing prospective
buyers.
One of the great aims of this COM
pany since its inception has been to
encourage families to own their own
houses. The Fairfield and Lordship
developments were especially planned
| with this in view, being group devel-
opments of brick colonial houses
A scheme has already been blocked
out by a firm of Boston bankers who
have made a speciality of work of this

studied by the new committee and
adapted to local conditions The idea
| is to arrange it in the easiest possible

age him in every way to become a
householder. Monthly rental will
probably go toward the payment Of
