CALAMITY
That Ever Happened In Hopkinsvill,
Caused By Col. Monsch's
Offer.

Col. A. Monsch while walking
down Main street with a bottle Of
Beaufort Ginger Ale in his hand
caused FIVE thousand women to get
weak in their knees and faint. Ten
thousand men butted their heads
against telephone poles. Five thous-
and men rubber-necked at it. Now
what caused this CONSERVATION? The
Colonel guaranteed every woman a
million-dollar husband and a five
thousand dollar automobile with ey-
cry bottle they drank. Colonel
Monsch at once phoned to w. A..
Chambers & Company to send every
one of their trucks and every truck

DAMAGE FROM
FOREST FIRES
Causes Loss Of $4O,2sO This Spring.
Greatest Damage Since 1914.

Frankfor, KY, May 27.-While
the spring of 1919 was characterized
by an increased number of forest fires
and the damage wrought was the
greatest since 1914, neither the num-
Der of fires nor area burned over was
nearly so large as in former years
with the exception of 1918. The
money loss was greater because tim
Der is so much more valuable.
j. E. Barton, Commissioner of Geo
logy and Forestry, commented on the
fact that less than fourth as many
fires were caused by railroads since
the Federal government has been
operating them, but brush burning,
while much less disastrous than for
merly, accounted for nearly three
times as many fires as in 1918.
A dry winter, late spring rains and
extraordinary activity of clearing off
new land were responsible for seven
ty-one fires this spring, as compared
to So last spring. The lowest number
in any previous year was los.
Railroads caused three, lumberilSgi

MRS. CARL WELSH
GAINS rs POUNDS
HUSBAND SAYS He CANNOT
FIND WORDS TO EXPRESS HIS
GRATITUDE FOR WHAT
TANlAc HAS DONE.

when I think OF what perfect
wreck my wife was only n few months
ago. and then think OF the marvellous
change that has come over her since
she has taken Tanlac am so thank
fu1 that can't find words to express
my gratitude" was the statement made
recently by Carl Welsh of 616k North
Adams St.. Peoria, H., in telling the
Tanlac representative of his wires re-
markable experience with this medi-
cine.
MY Wife had been in the worst
sort Of health for six years." continued
Mr.. Welsh, land her condition had
become SO bad she was in misery from
morning till night and was beginning
to think she would not be able to pull
thru it. She had headache spells SO
bad that she would walk the floor and
almost scream out, the agony was so
awful. Nerves, why, they. were COM
pletely shattered and the least little
unexpected thing would nearly drive
her frantic. She had bad case of
indigestion and have seen her get
so nauseated after taking only a few
bites that she would get up, and leave
the table, and whenever she did force
herself to eat anything it always gave
her terrible cramping pains. Gas trou-
bled her so much that she could hard
1y breathe and from the way she had
to fight for air made me think she
would never again get her breath. And
her heart would palpitate so bad that
she was afraid to lie down at night
for fear it would start up again. She
got very little sleep, was pale and thin,
weak and worn out completely. and I
could tell by the look in her eyes that
il something was not done right away
it would soon be too late, and It wor-
ried me so I could. hardly work.
II had heard so much about Tanlac
that got her some. but as she had
taken so many things that did her no
good, I had to insist before abe con-
scented to take 1t. It's an actual fact,
she was looking better in two Gays
time. and how anxiously waited to
see If the medicine continued it's work.
And now, 1t seems almost too good to
be true but she is free from every
trouble she had and is in perfect
health. Her nerves are as steady as
clock, headaches are a thing Of the
past and she sleeps as sound as a child
every night. Her appetite is so fine
she can hardly get enough to eat and
everything digests perfectly and her
breathing is free and easy She has
gained twenty-six pounds, looks bright
and cheerful all the time and is strong
er than she has been in years. I have
reason to praise Tanlac to my dying
day and I expect to do So"
