Daughter Was Always Delicate
Until She Began Taking TanIac.

what Tanlac has done for my little.
daughter said Mrs. J. P. West
brooks, who lives at 2608 Thirtieth
avenue, North Birmingham. my
daughter, Ansel, who is eleven years
of age, has been a sufferer from indi-
gestion and pains in her shoulders
and in her chest for long, long time;
in fact, all her life. We have tried
many doctors and most everything
we could hear Of, but they did not
bring her any relief.
"She was so nervous and unstrung
and SO rundown that don't believe
she could have gone through the win.
ter. She couldn't eat hardly anything
at all, and sleep was impossible for
her, and it was pitiful to see her in
that condition, and to think, too, that
we had done everything We could
without any benefits from it. Espe-
cially in the summer months she
would get in very rundown condi-
tion, and would lese weight, and you
can see that she hasn't any too much
weight to lose.
Il had read in the papers about
Tanlac, and neighbor who had taken
lit insisted that | get a bottle and give
it to Ansel. After a lot of persua-
sion bought bottle and put her
right on it, and it looked like from
first half Of the bottle that it was the
very thing she had needed. She has
taken three bottles now, and | AM
certainly thankful for what it has
done for her. She sleeps just as well
as could be at night, and eats every
thing she wants. She was eating
popcorn and bananas yesterday, and
they did not seem to have any bad
effect on her at all. She has gained
a little in weight, and i believe that
now she is eating and the food seems
to thoroughly agree with her that
she will gain steadily.
"She does not seem to be a bit
nervous, and doesn't object to taking
the Fanlac one bit. She is just as
bright and cheerful as she can be,
and it has made us all mighty happy
about her recovery, and we are all
glad to recommend Tanlac as being
the medicine that has done what lots
of other medicines failed TO do. |
am glad to say good word for it,
and tell others of it's merits"
Miss Ansel Westbrooks was in the
room at the time, and remarked: IF
| had a, thousand dollars | would
spend it all for Tanlac, because | feel
so good and eat anything | want and
can sleep so good and sound at night"

ETIQUET OF THE FLAG

ETIQUET OF THE FLAG
Here are the correct ways to dis
play the United States flag:
The flag should be raised at sun
rise, or after, never before.
The flag must be lowered at sun
set. It is a mark of disrespect to fly
the flag through the night.
When the flag is hung against
wall, the blue field should be in the
upper left hand corner if the stripes
are horizontal, or in the upper right
hand corner if the stripes are per-
pendicUlar.
Bunting, for decorations, should
be placed with the red at the top,
white below and blue at the bottom.
A flag used as a street banner
should be hung across the street at
an equal distance between cUrbs.
y United States laws forbid the use
of the flag in registered trademarks
or for advertising purposes.

curving over the hips, and the coat
has the latest Swing" - which is pro-
duced by suspending the fullness

The embroidery is Of an unusually
excellent design, while the hat can
not be surpassed as an adaptation OF
classic picture shape to practical
modern uses.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-10

In no case should the nag be al
lowed to touch the ground.
A flag reversed, with the bluetield
down, is a sign Of distress.
To display the flag at-half mast, i'll
case of national mourning or other
calamity, the proper way is to raise
it to the top then lower it a little.
Before it is lowered, it is proper to
raise the flag first to the top.
On the death Of president, the
flag should be displayed only one day
at half mast, according to regulation.
The flag is at half mast only half
a day on Memorial day. At midday
the flag is raised to the top of the
staff, where it remains until sunset.
June IA, the anniversary of the
adoption of the flag, is Flag day.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair
Simply moisten your hair with wat
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man.

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
