IMPORTED FOR TANI,Ac
Success of New Preparation Boon to
Thousands; Authority Says, "Noth-
ing Like it to Improve Nerve Force
and Digestion"

The personal endorsement that
Tanlac is receiving here could not be
bought with money. Neither could
influence obtain them If Tanlac were
not worthy of every good word that
could be said about it.. Interesting
stories from every source tell of its
influence upon the nervous system
and digestive processes.
One prominent authority says:
when the nerves are worn out and
vitality becomes low there will be a
general breakdown or decline Of the
entire system. The patient tires on
the slightest exertion, passes wake
full nights, arises unrefreshed and IS
often more tired in the morning than
when he went to bed.
Among the symptoms will be no.
ticed indisposition or debility, poor
appetite, indigestion, weakness in the
back, vertigo, fainting spells, wonder
specks floating before the eyes, buz.
ling in the ears. terrible itching and
severe headaches. To relieve these
conditions there is nothing like Tan
lac.
Come Fnov Every Zone.
The products of many countries
are combined in making Tanlac.
From South America are imported
large quantities Of plants that soothe
the nerves even as Nature has sooth-
ed them with continuous sunshine.
From along the river Nile come leaves
recognized for their action on the
liver. In great pine forests are gatl,.
cred substances to relieve catarrh.
From the frozen regions of the north
come those for digestion. The natives
OF these countries are noted for their
ability to digest fats that would send
a dweller of a temperate zone to an
early grave, a victim Of acute dys-
pepsia.
Tanlac is tonic of wide family use.
1t is sold and recommended by the
Wilkinson Drug Co. and by all other
leading druggists In Keokuk and
nearby Iowa towns.

ACTED ON OFFICIAL ADVICE.
Listers of Orange Appraised Waited De-
partment on Plumley's Say-So.

When the listers of Orange jumped
the appraisal on the Barre city reservoir
property in that town from $3.50 to
$40, ,250, they acted on the advice of Tax
Commissioner G, A. Plumley of North
field. This was the most interesting
piece of information learned by city Off
cias who attended the listers meeting
at Orange Center Saturday to protest
against the change. Notice Of the in
crease was received last week, and act :
ing under instructions from the city
council, Mayor Glysson, City Clerk Mac
kay, City Attorney Wishart, City Engi-
neer Frank 0. Lee and Aldermen Healy
and Rizzi of the aldermanic water com
mittee joined in registering the protest
before Royal Flanders, a. c. Carpenter
and Frank Ordway, who comprise the
Orange assessing board.
The listers claimed that the increase
was based on the allegation that much
of the water from the reservoir Is being
used for mechanical purposes in the
stonesheds, that the original plant cost
the city more than 100000, and that
a mileage of pipes runs through town
PluPeItS. IN the ielolnuer, the dppeii-
ants for the city informed the listers
that only the Batchelder's meadow sheds
are supplied from the Orange reservoir.
In discussing the matter more in detail,
the listers quoted the state tax COM
mission at length in explaining why they
had advanced the qusdrennial so mate
rally. No rebate was granted, although
the listers eoncurred in a decision to take
the protest uHder adyisement.
