Romanes en- tertained the audience further by a numbr of Scotch songs sung impromp- tu and all expressed their hearty ap- preciation. A general gathering of local singers surrounded the piano and enjoyed singing old songs. The reception was most pleasing one from start to finish and no doubt will renew the interest in church work so much neglected during many months of last year. A cordial invitation is extended at all times to the general public to attend the services.

TRAINED NURSE
 ENDORSES TANLAC
Graduate of London England Says She Improved Rapidly After Taking 1t.

Mrs. Lena Bloomfield, a trained uurse residing at 3900 San Jacinto Street, Dallas, Texas, is but one among many in her profession who, after testing the merits of Tanlac. have come forward with unqualified endorsements of the Master Medi- cine' Mrs. Bloomfield graduated in London, England, and for several years followed her profession in New York, Denver and Dallas. Her statement, coming as it does from one of such wide experience in relieving suffering, will be of interest to hun dreds of this section who are seek ing relief. In telling of the benefits she has derived from the use of Tan lac Mrs. Bloomfield said:
 Some time ago I had a severe shock that brought on nervous prostration and I suffered from awful headaches all the time. My stomach was out of order and most everything l would eat disagreed with ' me. I usually
 have a sunny disposition and try to be cheerful under all circumstances
 but l had become so weak and run down and my trouble weighed on me so much I had gotten to the point where I felt depressed and despond- ent and had no desire to live or do
 anything else.
 "A friend of mine recommended Taniac to me and as I was anxious to find something that would relieve me, I got bottle. My improvement was particularly noticeable when I was on my third bottle, when my appetite
 picked up and my flesh became much firmer. Those headaches are leaving
 me and don't feel so tired as use to be all the time. My sleep is re- freshing, my stomache and nerves
 are stronger and feel owe much to Tanlac for what it has done for me, and will continue to use it for some 1 time because of the good it is doing me-.
