PAINS IN BACK
ARE NOW GONE

A. F. Gibson, 31S Blondeau street,
Keokuk, Is another man who called al
the Wilkinson Drug Co, and told how
he had been relieved of kidney trou-
BILE by Tanlac.
My kidneys were out OF order.
Often ! would have severe pains in
my back" said Mr.. Gibson. "My ap-
petite was poor, too. / had to almost
force myself to eat.
Since taking Tanlac / feel a great
deal better. My kidneys don't bother
me now and those pains in my back
are gone"
Many stories like this are told about
Tanlac. 1t Is vegetable tonic. Thous-
ands recommend It for headaches. dig
zy spells, indigestion, unsound sleep.
backache. shortness OF breath. weak.
ness, nervousness, poor circulation
and other symptoms arising from dis
ordered kidneys, stomach and liver.
Tanlac is highly endorsed by Keo-
kuk's most conservative druggists, the
Wilkinson Drug Co., and by scores of
their customers who have tried 1t and
know from experience just what 1t
will do.

SONG SERVICE IS GOOD
Mr.. LilIenas is Drilling Booster Choir
Along With other
Chorus For
Services.
Subject for Tonight, "over the Top"

A large audience greeted Evange-
list Mitchell last night and listened
with rapt attention to one of his
characteristic sermons. His appeal
last night was particularly to chris
ians. He used for his subject the
story Of Elijah and BaaPs prophets.
During a solid hour he kept his
hearers spellbound as he depicted
the different scenes in such vivid
way that one could see the whole
scene enacted. Mr.. Mitchell puts
his soul and body into his sermons;
he is an intensely interesting
speaker and is especially gifted as
an impersonator, his sermons are not
always arranged according to Homi.
letic rules, but they are freighted
and weighted with the truths OF the
gospel and are brought homo to the
hearers in such way that they hnd
their way to the heart.
The song service was unusually
spirited last night, the entire con-
gregation taking part. In addition
to the chorus choir Mr.. Lillenas is
also organizing a booster choir"
All children between the ages of six
and fourteen years of age are in
vited to join. There is rehearsal
each afternoon this week at 4 p. m.,
at the church.
Mr.. Lillenas sang climbing Up
the Golden Stairs" last night; the
solo was well received. Tonight Miss
Ruth Behymer and Mr.. Lillenas will
sing duet entitled, "Sing Me a
Song Of Heaven" song recently
written by the chorus leader. Miss
Behymer, who plays the piano with
such splendid effect at the services,
is also a soloist, possessing con-
tralto voice of rare beauty and sweet
ness. She will be heard many times
during the campaign.
The services were announced last
night to begin at 8 o'clock instead
of 1880 as heretofore. There will be
a mass meeting for men only next
