Illinois Merchant Praises TanIac
for Restoring Wife's
Health.

People who have known my wife
for some time, and know about the
awful condition her health was IN
for twelve years, hardly know her
since she commenced taking Tan
lac" said Amos Saylor, prominent
merchant in Glasford, ILL.,, while in
Peoria the other day.
Il don't think | ever saw anybody
suffer any more than my wife did.
during all that time" continued DIR.
Saylor, land when she commenced
taking Tanlac we had about given
up all hope of ever seeing her well
again. All the medicine she had
tried during those twelve years, had
failed absolutely to do her any
good. Her kidneys were in very bad
condition, and she would have such
awful pains in the small of her back
that it was impossible for her 10
stOop over. She was bothered with
stomach trouble, too, and unless she
ate the very lightest kind of food,
she would be in perfect misery Tor
two or three hours after meals. Gas
would always form after she ate
anything and / have seen her &C
tually cry many times on account
of the terrible pain and crampIng
spells she would have by reason of
her food not digesting properly. IN
addition to all this trouble, she had
rheumatism in her arms and legs,
and | have known her knees to be
SO badly swollen and pain her so
bad that she could hardly walk
across the room, and sometimes her
elbows would be so stiff and sore
that she couldn't lift a cup of coffee
to her mouth. She was in so much
pain that she couldn't find a COM
Portable position in bed, even, and it
was out of the question for her to
get good nights sleep.
"Tanlac has made such a won
derful improvement in her condition
that she can walk, and get around
about as lively as she did when she
was a girl. am fifty odd years old,
and / have never seen anything in
my life to equal the way my wife
has improved since she commenced
taking Tanlac. Why, she eats just
anything in the world she wants,
and never has a sign of indigestion.
and she is never bothered with
those awful pains in the small of
her back like she was. And best of
all, she is entirely free from that
rheumatism. Not an ache or a pain
does she ever have now and she
sleeps like baby every night. AIT
her strength and energy have
come back to her, and she has
gained lot in weight. In fact Tan
lac has simply made a well, happy
woman of her, and we never lose an
opportunity to speak a good word
for this gerat medicine. 1 am glad
to have this chance to recommend
Tanlac to everybody"
Tanlac is sold in Rock Island by
Bengston's Drug Store.

How to Keep
Age-LLines and
Wrinkles Away

Don't forget that the woman who
smiles Will have q skin more free from
wrinkles than the woman who frowns.
When wrinkles begin to appear it is good
plan to battle the face once a day for
awhile in a harmless solution made by dis
solving an ounce of powdered saxoite in
half pint of witch hazel.
This Is remarkably effective in erasing
the hateful lines, not only because of it's
astringent action which tightens the skin
and thus irons out the lines. but also be
cause of a helpful tonic effect which i'm
proves capillary circulation and nerve tone.
There is nothing better for habby cheeks
or chin. Be sure to ask the druggist for
the powdered saxohte.-tAdy)

Measures Enacted at
Hague Peace Con.
ference, 1907

IN CASE of serious disagreement and
dispute, before an appeal to arms, the
contracting powers agree to have re-
course, as far as circumstances allow, to
the good offices or mediation of one or
more friendly powers.
Good Offices and mediation undertaken
either at the request Of the contending
parties or at the initiative of powers
strangers to the dispute have exclusively
the character of advice and never have
binding force.
Acceptance of mediation should not de-
lay preparation for war.
In cases where neither honor nor
vital interests Of the nations are con-
cerncd an international commission Of
inquiry should be appointed, as far as
circumstances allow.
A permanent court Of arbitration

How the Documents

should be instituted at The Hague, with
competency in all arbitration cases, un-
less the parties agrees to institute a
special tribunal.
The competency of the permanent
court Of arbitration extends
1. To cases where compromise,
stating the dispute clearly and agree
ing to subject it to arbitration. is
signed by the contending parties;
2. To cases covered by treaties of
arbitration;
8. To cases where contract debt is
claimed from one power by another as
due to it's nationals.
The award of the court of arbitra-
tion or special tribunal is binding only
If the parties have signed "compro-
mise"
Contracting powers agree not to have
recourse to armed force for the recovery
of contract debts claimed from one gov
ernment by another as due to it's nation
ais. This obligation becomes void if
offer of arbitration is refused or left
unanswered.
Hostilities must not be opened without
due warning.
The jurisdiction of the permanent
court of arbitration may be extended to
cases between contracting and a non
contracting power, or between two non
contracting powers provided parties con-
cerned agree.
