Hundreds Of Thousands Benefited B

Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive
tonic, is recommended for and has
proved effectual in hundreds Of thous-
ands of cases Of stomach disorders, in
digestion, catarrh Of the head and
stomach, liver and bowel arrangements,
dyspepsia, nervousness and sleepless-
ness, constipation and general rundown
condition, dull, dragging feeling Of
the body, palpitation and smothering Of
the heart, and coughs and colds; and
while Tanlac is intended primarily for
the regulation Of the stomach and the
correction Of catarrhal Inflammation, it
is no uncommon thing for persons who
have taken it to find that it has re-
ieved them, not only Of indigestion,
but also of rheumatism, kidney com
plants and many other ailments not
generally recognized as having their
origin in the stomach.

is it sound doctrine? Of course it
is not sound. Would anyone die
Of thirst if the riverlet was across
the way? Then why should wood
be difficult to obtain when it Is
but a mile to the woods?
The true fact is that the need
has not grasped the minds Of the
people, and most Of the folks have
not felt the pinch Of cold, though,
to our shame, there are some in
this community who have.
We are strong for ordinances
that are effective, and which can
be obeyed, but wo do not think
that any ordinance should stand
in the way Of alleviating suffering.
Let us then suspend the ordinance
requiring licenses to be paid for
hauling, and if necessary pay a
bonus by the town to those who
haul in cordwood within given
number of days or weeks, and in
the meantime find some place
where the wood can be stored as
against the time when it will be
needed for distribution, and even
those who now make light Of the
question we arouse will later be
glad that the question has been
mooted.
Let the scoffer beware for
neither he, nor we ourselves, can
say when fuel in sufficient abund-
ance will again come in from the
outside, so that while nature has
endowed us so bountifully with
forests let us make use of what
we have within our own border
and feel grateful that we have
been so greatly blessed.

EVERY PART OF BODY
HELPED BY TANLAC

helpful action Of Tanlac, which begins
it's work by stimulating the digestive
and assimilative organs, thereby en-
riching the blood and invigorating the
whole body. In other words, it relieves
constitutional troubles by removing
the cause.
It overcomes, it is said, the great
cause Of disease, weakness. It renders
the body vigorous and elastic. It keeps
the mind clear and energetic, and
energetic, and throws off the symptoms
of nervousness and indigestion. It
builds up the constitution weakened
by disease and mental and physical
overwork, quickens convalescence, and
is an unfailing source Of comfort to all
suffering from such troubles.
By increasing the powers of endur-
anie, it enables those who use Tanlac
to better encounter fatigue, exposure
and overwork.
Tanlac is sold by one regular estab-
lished druggist in each town, and can
be purchased in Scotland Neck from
the E. T. Whitehead Drug Store.

FIREWOOD A PRIME NECES.
SITY.

The Commonwealth has on two
former occasions mentioned the
need for consideration Of the fuel
question, not only for domestic
purposes but for the local plants
as we'll, for it has been evident
for some time past that an ade-
quate supply Of coal could not be
obtained. The dealers have done
all they could to obtain cars of
coal, but regulation Of the fuel,
the need for fifty million ton adj
ditional on account of the war, the
frequent strikes at different
mines, and more than all else the
transportation problem, has pro-
duced this shortage.
The local coal dealers Of
Scotland Neck have gone long
way out Of their way to conserve
and wisely distribute the coal that
has come within our boundary,
but ton of coal will not last as
well as two tons, and an actual
Shortage Of fifteen carloads of
approximately sixty tons each
means that this town has, and will
have, had 900 tons less than the
necessary amount to run through
The winter Therefore some people
will surely be cold this winter un-
ess something is done to remedy
Phe condition, and that something
must be done at once.
1t would be sad indeed for a
own like Scotland Neck, with it's
reputation for looking after it's
people to let women and children
Eufer from cold when there is so
much Of everything, especially
money, floating around. Nor is it
question Of the readiness of the
People to lend a willing ear, or
ven to put their hands in their
|ockets to alleviate this want, the
uestlon at once arises -
How can we overcome the diff
cu1ty; in what way can we be
elpful to those who have no coal
nd who have not the remotest
hance Of buying any? How car
7e be Of service to the poor who
re now faced with freless CRATE

lany are putting to themselves
s they read these lines, and they
re all really DESTROYS of being O.

The thing for us all to do is t,
urn wood, and with the forest
round us wood must be obtain
for none must freeze in thi
God town, and it is the duty O
very man to see that this doe
st happen.

souvenir, the Presidents shell has
