a With Advice.

A grocer man was telling a customer
about some woman who had tainted on
the street. He rushed to the rescue, OF
course, and lifted her head from
the
tits a wonder you hadn't killed her
Don't you know that her head should
have been lower than her feet?"
The grocer accepted the information
with the smile of one who likes cold
touches, and went on about how q
man stopped his automobile to take her
to a hospital, and how they tried to
revive her with ammonia.
Worst thing you could have done |
Don't you know that when the patient

REGULAR TIME FOR FEEDING
Much Loss occasioned by Variation In
Quantity Supplied to Various
Farm Animals.

A great deal of feed is wasted
through lrregularlty In the time of
feeding and variation in the quantity
in which it is supplied. On some days
the feed is given often but on others
1T is provided at much longer inter
walls. Sometimes the quantity is liber-
al, at others 1t is scanty. In extreme
cases the feeding of the animal ranges
from feasting to furnishing.
Wide variations in the quality Of
the feed also cause a great deal of
loss. Too often bulk is taken as the
standard of value.

A Chinese entered the office of the

written in Chinese and Black and the
other operators were unable to deci-

made In my life. I began to improve
almost from the start and three
bottles simply made me over into a new
man. l have enjoyed the best of health
ever since.
II suffered with catarrh of the stom.
ach and indigestion for twenty years
and for eighteen months 1 had to live
almost entirely on cereals. NV stom-
ach was full of gas and I suffered with
awful headaches all the time. I was
nervous and couldn't sleep. I spent
nearly all Of me whole year in bed
and fell off in weight to one hundred

After using three bottles of Tanlsc.
l had increased In weight from one
hundred and eighteen pounds to one
hundred and fifty-two-making an ac-
tual gain of thirty-four pounds-all nv
troubles were gone and I was feel
ing like a new man.
Although 1t has been a year and
a half since Tanlac relieved me of nv
awful catarrhal trouble and indiges-
ton, l still retain my increase in
weight and feel simply fine all the
time. I've been eating anything 1
want-in fact anything anybody else
can-and sleeping like a child every
night. Being made into a strong,
healthy man after suffering as long
as l did is enough to make me rejoice
and I'm glad to indorse Tanlac be-
cause 1 know what it will do"
