THOUSANDS OF THIN, TRAIL PEOPLE ARE RESTORED TO HEALTH BY TAKING
 TANLAC.
FIGURES ARE ASTONISHING
People of Prominence and Unques- toned Integrity Tell What Cele- brated Medicine Has Done
 for Them.

NNE of the most noteworthy fea- O lures in connection with Tanlac and the one that stands out more prom inently than any other, perhaps, is the very large number of well-known men and women from all parts of the South who have recently reported astonishing and rapid increases in weight as re- suit of it's use.
 When so many well-known people of unquestioned integrity make state ment after statement, each corroborat- ing the other, the truth of such state ments can no longer be doubted.
 Thousands have testified that this famous medicine has completely re- stored them to health and strength, after every other medicine and the most skilled medical treatment have failed.
 One of the most remarkable cases on record is that if Mrs. Viola Ives, of 315 Cross Street, Little Rock, Ark, whose statement appears below.
 "In May of 1913," said Mrs. Ives, q suffered complete breakdown of my nerves and my entire system gave way. About six weeks afterwards was carried to the hospital became perfectly helpless-couldn't move any part of my body and just lay there in bed for five months, not knowing any thing or anybody. I was brought home in October, 1913, and tried all kinds of medicine and everything I was told about
 'I read about so many people get ting relief by taking Tanlac and my husband got me a bottle. After talk ing three bottles I began to feel bet ter. I have taken several bottles of Tanlac now and I can walk anywhere and sleep like child. When I took my first dose of Tanlac weighed only one hundred and twenty-two pounds. I now weigh one hundred and sixty two-an actual gain of forty pounds since I started on Tanlac."
 Texas Man Testif7es.
 Another remarkable case was that of John M. Crabtree, a general mer- chant at Five Mile Station A, Dallas, Tex.
 q have actually gained thirty-four pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and l now know what 1t is to enjoy good health after suffering for twenty years" said MT. Crabtree.
 'I suffered with catarrh of the stom- ach and indigestion for twenty years and for eighteen months, before I start ed taking Tanlac, had to live almost entirely on cereals. spent nearly all of one whole year in bed and was un- able to do anything at all and fell off in weight to 11S pounds.
 "After using my third bottle of Tan lac I found I had increased in weight from 118 pounds to 152 pounds, mak- ing an actual gain of thirty-four pounds all my troubles were gone, and was feeling like another man."

Washington. Both Senate and House voted approval of the admins tration's proposal to raise great war army on the principle of selective conscription, voting down by over whelming majorities the volunteer army amendments around which op- ponents of the administration plan had centered their fight.
 In the Senate the vote on the volun- teer amendment was 69 to IS and in the House it was 279 to 98, supporters of conscr1ption marshaling a strength which surprised even administration leaders.
 Whether Congress finally would ac- cept the staff's recommendations re- garding the ages between which con- scription should apply appeared more uncertain. In the Senate the bills stipulation that men between 19 and 25 should be liable to the draft was changed to make the minimum 21 and the maximum 27. The House voted down all proposed changes in the mill itary committee recommendation that the limits be fixed at 21 and 40.
 Among the more important amend ments adopted in the house was one empowering the president to exempt from the draft in his discretion, per- sons engaged in agricultural work; another would require each state to furnish a quota of men apportioned aocOrdiup to r0n1,Iofiop opd Ct;J1 oy other provides that mo bounty shall be paid to induce any person to en- list" and that mo person liable to military service shall hereafter be permitted or allowed to furnish sub- stitute for such service"
 In the Senate there was a long de- bate over the proposal to prohibit the sale or possession of intoxicating li- quor during the war. Several amend ments were adopted, including one to make it unlawful to sell or give liquor to officers or men in uniform or to members of Congress or other off cials, and then the Senate reversed itself and adopted substitute simply forbidding the sale of liquor to sol diers in uniform and giving the presi- dent wide discretionary authority to make other prohibition regulations.
 Another long debate was evoked over amendments by Senator Thomas and Lafollette to exempt from con- scription those having "conscien- tious objections" to military service. Both were defeated without roll call, and the bills exemption proposals left unchanged.

WILLIE TREETOAD'S JOKE
ON THE FROG BROTHERS
BY Farmer Smith

"po you like to hear about the Frogs and
Treetoads?' asked Billy Bumpus of his
daughter Mamie one night
Yes. indeed replied Mamie, What
did little Willie Tree;oad do to the Frog
boys? Tell me about that"
1T was late one afternoon when Father
Sun was getting so sleepy he had begun to
rub his eyes, when Willie Trectuad hap
pened to think that the Frog boys Jack and
Bill, had not been over that day lie
climbed the weeping willow tree to see
where they were and az he could not see
them he thought they had not started from
home Down the tree he came and hopped
Off to the meadow as fast as possible There
he picked a lot of danGelion stems and
strung them together and started back to
the weeping willow tree beside the brook.
"FIe took care to see that he left a fluffy
dandellon ball on the end of his string, and
with the line he climbed up the tree to wait
for the Frog brothers. They were just
starting from home, and he could see them
hopping and skipping along. He let his
line down so that he could see how long IL
was. and It just touched the waters edge.
Willie Treetoad pulled his line up and
waited for the Frog boys To come. Soon
they were on the other side OF the brook,
and the first thing he knew-cher-punll
and they had jumped into the water and
started to swim across, They scrambled up
the bank under the weeping willow tree and
waited for Willie Treetoad, He did not
come as soon as they expected so they de-
cded he had seen them, and they hid them
selves in the mud, II was not long before
they were fast asleep.
"As soon as their eyes were closed and
their mouths open, in the hope Of catching
some nice, large flies, Willie Treetoad care
fully let down his dandelion string, and
with the fuzzy ball tickled the inside Of
Jack Frogs mouth
Snap went Jacks mouth and he smiled
- H.. . q
But he said to Bill, 4 thought l had a fly
but | do not taste anything
so they went TO sleep again, and pretty
soon Bills mouth went pop and he opened
his eyes and began to chew, but there was
no fly there. Some one is playing a joke
on us he said 10 Jack. He closed his eyes
but not all the way. and pretty soon he saw
Willie Treetoad scampering down the weep
ing willow tree, Just then the dandelion
string fell on his head Hurry up he
shouted to Jack There goes Willie Tree
toad
But ne was too far ahead of them"

FORESIGHT


Dear Children like to talk to editors

and because they have FORESIGHT. II
they are not able to KNOW WHAT Is GO
ING TO HAPPEN, at least, what will hap
pen IL certain things are done, they do not
hold their jobs.
The other day I asked an editor friend
OF mine this question, why are people
poor?'
He answered that, in his opinion, people
were poor because they lacked FORE
SIGHT Perhaps you would like to have
me put il this way--PEOPLE ARE RICH
BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORESIGHT.
My editor friend told me Of "A woman who
was given a ticket good at the grocery
store for one dollar. what do YOU suppose
the woman asked for? The clerk in the
store was so surprised at her request that
he asked twice what she wanted and she
replied:
Two cans of lobster
she further ventured the information that
canned lobster tasted like and now was her
chance.
Consulting the dictionary I find FORE
SIGHT act or power Of foreseeing. Also,

we have been talking about acted from
