I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT
Steele Had to Quit Raihoading on
Account of Bad Heath---Gains
Fifteen Pounds Taking Tanlac

IF | could speak with everybody
personally who has stomach trouble
and rheumatism, l would tell them to
take Tanlac,. for have tried it my
self and have never seen anything like
it,'' was the statement made by J. T.
Steele of Shirley, ILL.,, recently. Mr.
Steele, who is now employed in a gen.
eral store in Shirley, was formerly a
conductor on the L. & n. railroad,
which position he states he had to
give up on account Of bad health.
"a number of years ago, while rail
rOading," he continued, Il began suf-
fering from stomach trouble and rheu-
matism and kept getting worse in
spite of all / could do. My appetite
left me and / would suffer terribly
from indigestion and gas on the stom-
ach after every meal. My head ached
a great deal Of the time, l also suffered
agonies from rheumatism and felt
tired, WORKOUT and no account all the
time. I simply got to where l had
TO be as careful as a baby about my
eating, was very pale, and finally be,
came so thin and weak was forced to
give up railroading altogether.
About this time l began to see Tan
lac recommended very highly, and de-
cided to see if it would help me as
others said it had them My stomach
soon got in shape to where l could eat
cabbage, beans, meats, potatoes and
just anything else | wanted without
the slightest trouble afterwards So
I kept on taking Tanlac and when |
finished my fifth bottle my rheuma-
tIsm and all my other troubles had dis
appeared and L had gained fifteen
pounds in weight besides That was
nearly three years ago. but / have
held my weight and felt fine to this
good day. So Lean testify to both the
immediate and lasting results that
come from the use of Tanlac, and |
firmly believe if9I had known about it
in time could have continued nay rail
road work. No<doubt there are lots of
people today suffering like did be-
fore / took Taniac and if / can show
them the road to health / tiEink it is
nothing but right that should do so.''
Tanlac is sold in Baraboo by Fisher
Bros, and in Reedsburg by Mr.. Henry
Thieman.-Adv.

the Medicine.

The new and real iron tonic, Pept-

over the danger spots, and increases
power of resisting disease.
Do not put off treatment in these
times so perilous to health, but get
Peptiron and begin to take 1t today,

You'll not regret being particular
to get Peptiron, and no other. Like
many others, you will be surprised at
its promptness in building you up.

The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1919-04-19
Easter Monday
Memorial Day

Why is Easter Monday also Memo
rial day in TarpOn Springs? Memo
rial or Decoration day was created in
memory of the soldiers who fought in
the Rebellion, that each year they
might be lovingly honored through
bringing to their graves the fairest
floral tributes which the season afford
ed. An idea so beautiful naturally
extended its loving interest to soldiers
mothers, fathers and friends.
Though in the early days of Tarpon
Springs the thirtieth of May was OBJ
served in accordance with general Gus
tom, it was not satisfactory, because
the rainy season is on at that time,
and the beautiful spring flowers are
gone. So in the early days, when
there were but two or three soldiers
laid to rest in Cycadia cemetery, it
occurred to some one to change the
day of local observance to one that
would be more fitting to the peculiar
local conditions. So the Easter time
was chosen, net only because the flow
ers are abundant and beautiful, but
because no day could be more fitting
than that followin gthe holy ResulTec-
ton Morn.
The Reaper has been busy in the
years that have come and gone. and
one by one the soldiers of '64 have
been laid to rest in beautiful Cycadia.
Very recently ancther-a solder Of
the great world war--has been laid
among them. So the flag of freedom
now floats above the grave of many
a hero.
another beautiful custom connected
with The Easter Memorial has becomc
fixed. It is that Of leaving in each
church the Easter decorations of
roses, lilies and other blossoms with
which the sacred day has been observ-
ed. On Monday morning a committee
from each church carefully gathers
these flowers and takes them to the
decoration committee which arrangcs
them for the graves. The memorial
service is in the afternoon. Truly t
IS a beautiful custom, inspired by low
ing hearts and kept alive by tireless
hands. May it remain thus, always
and forever,
