MRS. CHAS. PEDEN
 GAINS 27 POUNDS
Was Twice Examined and Each Time Told Operation Would
 Be Her Only Hope

"I have just finished my third bottle of Tanlac and have gained twenty-seven pounds" was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs Chas. Peden, residing at $50 Mill St., Huntsville, Alabama. Mrs. Pe- dei; is one of the best known and most highly respected women of that city where she has made her home for q number of years
 When 1 commenced taking the medicine" she continued, q only weighed ninety-eight (9S) pounds; now I weigh one hundred and twen- ty-five pounds and never felt bet ter in my life. For years l have suffered with a bad form of stom- ach trouble, constipation and pains
 in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture and 1 was twice examined and each time told that an operation would be my only hope. l had fallen off until 1 only weighed ninety eight pounds and was so weak l could hardly get around.
 "I had no appetite scarcely at all, and what little 1 did eat would cause gas to form on my stomach which gave me palpitation of the heart, sick headaches and dizzy feeling about the head. When those spells came on me, I would get awfully nervous l worried ,I sleep but little.
 "I had fallen off until 1 was almost skin and bones, and my strength and energy were slowly leaving me l he'd a dread of the future and could see nothing but the operating table and the knife. I had a perfect horror of an opera tion, but had made up my mind that it was either life or death and prepared to submit to it. 1 had made all preparations for the oper- ation and called in my sister to tell her goodbye, as l did not know whether 1 would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and pleaded with me not to allow them Jo cut on me and taold me to wait and try a good tonic for awhile, The next day as l returned from lhe consultation room 1 thought of what she said, and as l had heard so much about Tanlac, 1 decided to ny it as a last resort, and stopped at the drug store and got a bottle. Of course, 1 had lost heart and had no faith in the medicine, but
 to please my sister, l made up my mind to take it, and oh, what a happy day that was for me!
 "I never returned for the opera ton, but just kept taking Tanlac and my improvement has been so rapid that none of my clothes fit me. Right from the start I began to improve. The medicine seemed
 to take hold right at once. It had soothing effect, and in a few days felt no pain at all. 1 was so happy over my wonderful improve
 ment that 1 sent for my neighbors to tell them how much better l felt. sent and got another bottle Of Tanlac and have just finished my third and feel like l have been made over again into new wo- man.

Cutting Off Fool Taxes.

Very soon the kiddies will be able to toddle
up to the counter and get an ice cream cone, or
drink OF soda water, without having to pay
war tax The republican house has taken the
first step to dispense with this bit of demo-
cratic economic foolshness When Claude
Kitchin was chairman of the ways and means
committee he announced his intention of max
ing the north pay for the war As far as he
could, he carried out this purpose. In his
exuberant search for subjects on which to levy
freak taxes, he encountered ice cream and soda
water. These are 1uxuries. 1t did not occur
to him, nor did he trouble his mind after the
fact pointed out, that the chief consump-
ton of these is among the children of the land
An impost of 10 per cent was slapped on and
driven through, and for the first time in our
history the babies of the land were compelled
to contribute to carrying on war, in order that
the big cotton planters of Mr.. Kitchin's home
land might escape at least a portion of the
responsibility If the senate will now respond
to the action of the house, it will soon be
known whether the pennies extorted from the
little folks are vital to the existence of the great
American republic

A Simple Plays Long Ram

AT one of the leading London theaters play
Of peculiar construction has been drawing large
and deeply interested audiences for more than
six months Its success has unusual signif
canoe for Americans. The title of the play, if
it can be so classed, is Abraham Lincoln" 1t
consists of episodes in the life of Mr.. Lincoln,
and is. above all, concerned with his high moral
qualities. the benevolent greatness of his char
acter his unflinching courage and patriotism,
and his elemental goodness toward fellowmen.
His humor is wisely omitted, for it might be
misconstrued as related to comedy, whose pur-
pose is quite different. Lncoln's humor amused
but its main effect was to convince. If he was
reminded of story its chief application was an
argument that fitted in genially on the spur of
the moment.
That this subject should have attracted large
English audiences for so many months is a
striking fact There must be something astir
in English minds that warns to Lincoln's place
in history and example in craftsmanship. Its
leading lesson must be the power of sound
manhood to be of supreme usefulness regard
less of iron fortune and what is called low birth.
England has occasion to be thoughtful on this
subject. Lloyd George was orphan boy,
who was educated by an uncle who made a
humble living by mending shoes.
The theme of the play is manly opportunity
uohly interpreted.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.
