says Mrs. Nelma Gray, of North Sew
enth street, Harrisburg, Pa. They
troubled constantly and crippled me
so that | was often unable to walk
about the house. 1t was awful.
Suddenly they would begin to
swell and they would puff up until
there was a great ridge at the top of
my shoes and ] would have agoniz-
ing pains in both feet and limbs.
Finally I made up my mind TO
try Tanlac as a last resort and to my
delight it began to help me right
away. Now the swelling and pain
has all gone away and | can walk
or work all day without suffering.
1T is certainly a wonderful relief
and | cannot find words to express
my gratitude to Tanlac."
Tanlac is now being introduced

hairy growths without possible in
jury to the skin: Make a paste with
some powdered delatone and water,
apply to hairy surface and after 2
or minutes rub off, wash the skin

painless, inexpensive method, and
excepting where the growth is un-
usually thick, single application IS
enough. You should, however, be
careful to get genuine delatone.

Heavy Editorial,

Alexander H. Stephens, vice presi- dent of the Southern Confectionery, who after the Civil war was repeated ly elected to congress from Georgia, was an exceedingly thin man. One day there fell under his observation a news paper item saying that he weighed 90 pounds. In reply to this he wrote a letter to the editor of the offending journal demanding an immediate re- traction. "I will not be slandered in this matter" he protested, my weight is 94 pounds" The former vice president was himself an editor with habit of writing very long articles for his paper in Georgia and the contem- porary which had made the unwelcome statement regarding his weight refused to retract il for the reason, he said, that MT. Stephens must have had one of his editorials in his pocket when he last tried the scales This would account for the difference of four
 pounds between the two figures"

CRITICAL HOUR OF WAR

 Decisive Force of Battle.

London - The official reports rep resent the battle position in France as undoubtedly grave. The newspa- pers recognize, but do not attempt to appraise, the sitation or phophesy the course of events. They consider this the critical hour of the war.
 The German seizure of Chauny French lines, in order to preserve contact and alignment with the Brit ish Much rests on the use of the al- lied army of maneuyer," organized by the Versailles conference, which may prove the decisive force of the battle.
 The Daily Mail says that if Field Marshal Haig's report that the Ger mans broke through west of St. Quentin uses the terms broke through" in the generally accepted military sense, it is serious, but that time alone can show the correct in- depreciation.
 The Daily Grpahic says:
 Tn the main the enemy is held. Nevertheless we are bound to recog- nize that the situation viewed as a whole is critical
 Pointing out that the Germans have been able to bring to bear at certain points of the line an attacking force which vastly numbers the defenders, the Grpahic concludes:
 But providing the breaking of the line involves no panic, but only re- tirement to previously prepared posi- tions, the loss is reparable."
