Trained Nurse Says
Tanlac Is Wonderful
Mrs. Freeman Had Suffered For Ten
Years-Eats Anything. Nerves
Are Calm and She Sleeps Soundly,
Now.

Mrs. Josephine Freeman Of SAT
TowAe avenue. Los Angeles, Calf.
graduate nurse who had practiced
her profession for seventeen years,
recently made the remarkable state
ment that she has not only been re-
lieved of a case of stomach trouble of
ten years. standing by the use Of
Tanlac, but that she had also gained
twenty-five pounds in weight.
When asked Of she would be will
ing for her experience with Tanlac
to be published. Mrs. Freeman said:
yes indeed, feel that I would be
doing anyone suffering from stomach
trouble and rundown condition
good turn by. getting them to take
Tanlac. For ten years I have been
having trouble with my stomach.
could not eat anything without suf-
fering intense pains afterwards. and
at times would bloat up so with gas
and such pains and pressure around
my heart that would almost faint.
I became SO nervous that could
hardly got any sleep or rest and was
so run down and weak that I could
scarcely keep up my work as a nurse.
I, Of course, used all kinds Of medi
cines and did everything possible but
could never get more than just lit
tie temporary relief.
FINALLY a friend of my husband.
who had been relieved of the same
trouble by taking Tanlac, advised
him to have me try it. and right
from the first bottle began to feel
better. My appetite came back, my
blood circulation improved wonder
fully, and my nerves began to quiet
down. I can eat just anything
want now and never have the least
pain or trouble afterwards. 1 sleep
soundly every night and feel rested
and refreshed on getting UP in the
mornings. When I began taking
Tanlac I was weighing only one hun
dred and thirty pounds and was still
losing. But now I tip the scales at
one hundred and fift"-two. making
an actual gain Of twenty-five pounds
on four bottles Of Tanlac. I just feel
50 strong and well now that it's a
real pleasure for me to recommend
the medicine that helped me so much.
Tanlac is a perfectly wonderful
medicine and I am glad to give
credit where 1t belongs"
-Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow
ditch Webster & Co., and the lead
ing druggist in every city and town.

Rebuilding the Guard

THE coming encampment Of the Sd
Maine Infantry will be the commence
ment again of what later will probably
be developed into a great National
Guard Army" said Adjutant General
Presson on Friday. I'm years past
some people opposed very strongly the
Guard. bat with its wonderful record
made in the World war, all. including
the secretary Of war, army officers and
the public recognize that it is the basis
Of a great national army and that the
system must be preserved.
1t is understood that the allotments Of
National Guard units for the fiscal
year 1920 is based on the apportionment
for 200 men to each senator and repre-
sentative in Congress. Thin would give
Maine 1900 men for a start. The allot-
ment % one infantry regiment to Maine
provides for an excess of ISL enlisted
men over that figure. making the total
1861 men. A tentative allotment of
units to the State of Maine. based on 800
men for each senator and congressman
will include the Coast Artillery and
other arms of the service.
''These organizations cannot be allot-
of some other states to organize their
branches of the National Guard. That
is. if some State fails to draw its
me ney. then the States that do organize
will be awarded the available amounts
and thus benefit so much more. Maine
is today receiving part of her equipment
for her Sd Infantry from such unallotted
funds.
1.-THE plan is to raise 120 men this
year and in each succeeding year to adj
so per cent. in number. until it reaches
the allotted 800 per senator and repre-
sentative in Congress. or $500 men. When
that figure is reached Maine will have
a National Guard organization that
will make every other State sit up and
take notice. just as the old I'd Maine
Co3d Infantry and the Trench Motor
Battery have done in the World war;"

Fish and Game

Willis E. Parsons of Foxcroft, corn :
missioner of inland fisheries and
game, in a statement made Saturday
said that he thinks that foxes may be
e. slight menace to fawns but are of
course a greater menace to birds.
A letter was received at the depart
ment a short time ago stating that
foxes were killing young deer on an
extensive scale. with the result that
Commissioner Parsons sent out a
number of letters to wardens. hunt
ers and persons generally interested
Their replies in the main were -tho.t
the. foxes did not do much If any in
jury to fawns.
The letter to the department which
caused Commissioner Parsons to send
out inquiries is as follows in part:
"Trappers. fire wardens, and
woodsmen have seen evidence of
foxes destroying deer and 1t is their
belief that the damage done to game
by foxes is extensive. 1t is generally
admitted that they do great damage
to cartridges but it is pot SO gener-
ally known that they kill many young
deer except by woodsmen.
Several days ago two men driv-
ing team, repairing woods road,
saw fox dragging the body of a
fawn about week old across the
road. When the fox saw the men he
dropped the deer and ran. They ex-
amined the fawn and found that it
had been killed by having it's throat
torn undoubtedly by the fox.
This spring a woodsman dug out a
fox den and found the bones Of two
fawn deer. A fire warden told .me
that several years ago he found a
fox den with a number of skeletons
of fawn deer in it, and a sportsman
found the bones of a fawn deer just
outside of a fox den.
This past week a man watching
horses in the woods saw large doe
deer chasing a fox. He supposed
that the fox had killed the fawn but
although he searched he did not find
the body. In any event, it is a rea-
sonable proposition. The only thing
peculiar about the incident is TINT
the doe should chase the fox. Deer
are notorious as the only wild ami
mails that fail to fight for their
young. The only reason probably is
that the doe deer has no weapons of
defence except his hoofs.
In reply to one of the letters sent
out by Commissioner Parsons
prominent warden wrote as follows:
Il beg to state that have seen no
instance where young deer were ever
molested though 1 have heard it
spoken of in general way. l can
recall no specific instance where any
one knew that fox did actually at
tack deer.
"As you have asked me for my per-
sonal views on the matter I would
state that l do not believe that foxes
modest deer.
DO you think that a fox could
drag fawn deer. however small, 10
its den?
"The fox Is the bitter enemy of the
birds and for this reason 1 would like
to see him given no quarter"
