THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL
OVER The COUNTRY ARE NOW
TELLING THE WONDERS OF TANLAC
STOMACH, KIDNEY AND LIVER
ILLS YIELD TO MARVEL TONIC.
Its Effects on the Human Body Are
Like Good Oil in Machinery.

We sometimes wonder If the man
who first thought Of the automobile
got his idea from the human body.
Both generate their own power and
waste. A serious ailment Of the hu-
man body is now styled auto intoxica-
ton"
Auto intoxication has it's origin for
the most part in the kidneys. stomach
and liver. Auto" means Jxelf" n
toxin" means poison" so tl\ ailment
might otherwise be styled Sc Npoison-
ing
When the organs become ?eakened
from any cause, they are unable to
| throw off waste matter. Auto intoxi-
cation is largely responsible for low
vitality, poor circulation, tired feeling,
catarrh and many other ills.
Under these conditions the organs
become weak and the toxins-or actual
poisons-are permitted to generate
within ones body.
DlcilLdSL anu 4AlktSNAAAoA ONS "HAN
affections of the mucous membr mes
may also be termed aut intoxication.
Tanlac is designed 20 combat these
ailments. Tanlac begins its action by
stimulating the digestive and assim-
ilative organs, thereby enriching the
blood and invigorating the entire sys-
TEN. Next, Tanlac aids the stomach
to thoroughly digest food thus permit
ting assimilable products TO be convert
ed into blood, bone and muscle.
To the automobilist it might be said
that Tanlac acts as a spark plug in
the human mechanism. II starts the
vital engines and hen keeps them go
ing at the proper speed.
II you do not feel right try Tanlac.
II is sold and fully recommended by
the Mcbride & VIII Drug Company

lives to be saved. quotas have been de-
signated to the various states. the ap-
portionment being made on the basis
of the population under Ave according
to the 1910 census.
In making the apportionment on
this basis 1t was realized that a hig
mark is thus set for states In which
the death rate among young children
is already low. On the other hand
the mark set may be low for some
states where the child death rates Is
exceeringly high. 1t does not appear
TO be possible to avoid some situations
by any method Of apportionment that
could be devised with the data now at
hand. If the registration Of births N
deaths were complete in all the states
an apportionment Of quotas of the
100. 900 lives to be saved by the various
states could be made upon a different
basis"

Father Of Punctuation.

The present system of punctuation
now used in all modern languages with
but insignificant variations, was Intro
duced in the first half of the fifteenth
century by q Venetian printer named
Aldus Manutius. He is the real father
of punctuation marks-of the full stop,
comma. semicolon. colon, question and
exclamation marks, apostrophe and in
verted commas. Manutius' system was
adopted later by all printers until 1t
finally established itself throughout
Europe.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

MRS. w. M. sMALLsREED.

Prominent at the 15oth anniversary
Of Methodism at B~raceyille, Ohio, was
Mrs. w. J.. Snallsreed. She told
friends:
For several years I suffered with
pains in. my knees. I could hardly
walk al times. I tried about every
rhumatism remedy OF the market, but
got little or no relief.
"The lameness extended from my
knees to my back. I felt so bad I
wasn't able to do my housework. Ny
back ached. l could hardly lie in ed.
and slept little. I became v and
irritable. I suffered after eating.
MY tongue was coated, my FOOD
soured. Headaches seemed to lift tho
top Of my head off. Every Little task
looked like a mountain.
Shortly after I began to take Tan
has I could feel a new force running
thru my body. and what was my sur
prise to find my knees getting better.
"As I continued to take Tan1ac 1 got
la good appetite. My food digested
properly.
"Tanlac helped me. and I hope some
persons who think they have rheun-
atism will give # q fair trial"

great opportunity before it in increas-

done last year, I believe the farmers Of

Some years ago I had an accident,

says W. II. Crow, well known resident

In the mornings, especially just after

Was Anxious to Know.

One evening while the family were
seated in the living room the conversa-
ton was mostly on the subject of
guardianship for the grandfather, and
several times il became quite a heat
ed debate, which greatly impressed the
little three-year-old, Irene. The next
morning upon opening her little brown
eyes, she sat upright in bed and said:
Mamma, did they get that guardian
tied on grandpa yet!'

"BedIam,"

Bcdlam Is another example OF the
English fashion Of telescoping words,
and comes from Bethlehem. The pri-
ory Of st, Mary of Bethlehem in Lon
don was converted into q hospital for
the insane in 1902 and in the course Of
time the name was shortened to Bel
lam, q word that came to be q synonym
for madhouse. To open the door IN
let the inmates escape would be "Red-
lam let loose" and frequently the
phrase is used to describe intolerable
Clattcr and racket.
