CONVINCED OF TANLAC
BY AID GIVEN Wife
Husband Says She Added Fifteen
Pounds on Four Bottles
DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT
Knew Tanlac Would Help Him
Greatly When He Began 1t,
And He Tells Details

Cases in which two or more peo-
pie in the same family have been so
greatly benefited by Tanac that they
have offered a double endorsement Of
this famous Master Medicine are
common. When you see n person re-
lievcd Of suffering and made strong
again, it is the most natural thing
in the world for you to want the
same benefits. This is how Charles
E. Whitmire of 1O3 Bradford ST.,
Albany, n. Y, happened to take
Tanlac
"My wife, who had Leen all run
down and nervous and getting weaker
right along began to take Tanlac."
Mr.. Whit nire explained. "Well. of
course, watched the results, and it
was wonderful to see the way it built
her up. On four bottes she gained
fifteen pounds. | had been doubtful
about Tanlac, but that settled me.
When | started Tanlac I could hard
ly eat one good meal in whole
week. From suffering with bad
stomach I had become to nervous and
restless at night and all run down.
Instead of digesting, my food would
just lie like lead on my stomach and
sour and ferment and form gas. Be-
cause I had sour stomach-acid
stomach-so long, my mouth had got
ten sore. could not sleep restfully,
but would wake up every hour or
two and would roll and toss. I was
tired in the morning, and by mid-af-
ternoon / was so tired out it seem d
couldn't get through the day. 7
had lost all ambition, and did not
care. Seeing what Tanlac had done
for my wife encouraged me to take
it, and / was not surprised when it
began to brace me up right away.
1t did as much for me as it did for
her. l slept right through the night.
woke up rested, with good appc-
tite, and was able to enjoy my meals.
By food digested, and the gas, bloat
ing and sour stomach disappeared
felt like new man, and the old
tired, worn-out feeling went with
the rest of my troubles"
When Mr.. Whitmire's stomach be-
came weak, his system probably be-
gan to clog with waste matter. What
-ha needed was good system purifier,
stomach tonic and reconstructive, and
Tanlac did the work for him and he
saw it do for his wife, and as it has
done for countless thousands.

War Curbs Suicide.

Sir Bernard Mullet, registrar gen.
eral of the British empire, announced
recently that suicide had fallen of
strikingly in England since the begin
ming of the war. The explanation IS
that the national unity Of feeling, the
subordination Of self and the sharing
of sympathy on all sides makes the in
dividuarS personal injuries less i'm
portant and induces him to forget his
own desperation. Personal indulgences
and eXccSscs of immortality, causes of
insanity and melanchola, are curbed
and minimized naturally by the econ
omies enforced upon the populace.
Discipline in eating, dressing, working
has also beneficial effect in keeping
the mind sane and free from morbid
brOOdingS.

The conversation turned on the

cabby and his horse had passed away.
The hOrse-drawn omnibus was no

crowded with vehicles when n bus
coming from the opposite direction
was in collision with our bus The
wheels of the two locked and then the
highly ornate invective between the
two drivers began. 1t was the perfect
flower. yes, the full fruitage 1 thought
of profanity and abuse.
"'But l was mistaken. There was
more and worse to come. When the

of string and holding it above his
head swung it slowly to and fro.

ent scarcity of food in Rumania money has come to have but little value. At this market place may be seen an itinerant merchant trading a bushel of potatoes for a quantity of wood, peasant woman exchanging a pound of butter for a package of sugar. or a farmer swapping a sucking pig for a few pieces of leather.
 While the city has many picturesque aspects, 1t is not without its scenes or sorrow and depression. Making it's way slowly along a narrow street is shabby, dilapidated. box-like ve- hicle, so small that it resembles toy wagon, which the natives generously call a hearse, and which is bearing to final repose the body of one of the late residents of the city. Drawn by Q single horse, pitifullW decrepit and lame the hearse is followed by q young man on foot. Then, in turn, comes a crude gray cart, on which is seated a patriarchal figure, Bent with the weight of years.
 The spectator inquires the details of the sombre spectacle and is informed that 8 young woman has fallen vic- tim of typhus-fhat terrible scourgc which has claimed so many thousands of Rumania's populations that the young man in the rear with bowed head was the young woman's fiance and that the old man on the wagon. who is too feeble to walk. is the last of the family of the deceased.

Instructions Given Knitters On How to Make Proper Garments for the Sol
 dier Boys

Have you stopped working for the Red Cross?' asked Mrs. Gray, meeting Mrs. Brown at the door of committee headquarters. By no means" was the prompt reply, but in our church we use for contribution a duplex envelope onehalf of which is marked for our selves, the other half for others. Now have two knitting bags Mornings I ply my needles for the Red Cross. aft fort committee I mean to do my little bit in every organization for good that I can"
 After careful experiments, the com mittee has decided that for sweaters it is better to use 72 stitches instead of 80. and to make the length from neck to bottom 23 inches instead of 25.
 We are advised that trench caps are more useful than helmets for the sea- son of the year when the men whom we are equipping now will begin serv- ing abroad.
 Ladies who are at present knitting helmets need not change. for we have record of those now on needles and are in need of them. but as they are finished we shall ask our knitters to specialize on trench caps, wristlets and socks
 Wristlets should be 10 inches long, knit on small steel needles as tightly as possible. If not made with plain palm, there should be two openings The sock leg should be II inches from where the heel turns off to the top The loot should be inches from the back of the heel to where the narrow wing be- gins, and Il inches from the end of the toe to the end O. the heel More specific directions will be given at Headquarters to anyone who wishes them.
 There was discovered in EnsIey last week an Englishman without relatives in this country, who was about to leave for Canada to join the British forces. His neighbors offered to knit him wool outfit If we would give the yarn, and our committee, remem- bering how the Irish women clothed our men from the Tuscania, were glad to do so.
