INSPECTOR is OUT
WITH THE FACTS
HAD SUFFERED FIFTEEN YEARS
TROUBLE ENDS AFTER HE
TAKES TANLAC

81 never thought / would come out
with a public statement for Tanlac
but / just feel so good over the way
it has helped me that think / ought
to talk for the benefit of others suf-
fering like | did," said Joe Woltring
of 700 National Ave, Milwaukee
Wis, to Tanlac representative, re-
Gently. Mr.. Woltring is an inspect
or for the Allis- Chalmers Mfg. Co.
makers of power machinery, and has
been with this firm for forty years
He is well known and highly thought
fin the community in which he lives
"For something like fifteen years
l have had trouble with my stomach,
continued Mr. Woltring, Il didn't have
any appetite TO speak of and seemed
to eat more from habit than anything
else, because / didn't relish my food,
and at times what little did eat just
seemed to settle in my stomach in a
lump and l would puff up with gas
and have palpatation of the heart
and belch up sour, undigested food.
| had to be mighty careful what !
at, too, because any kind of rich,
greasy food always caused me just
that much more misery and this troub-
lie with my stomach naturally made
me so nervous ] didn't sleep well at
nights, and When got up some morn
ings | felt completely exhausted and
had a mighty disagreeable taste in
my mouth.
81 had read about Tanlac and saw
where people right here in Milwaukee
claimed they had been relieved of
trougles like mine by using it, so ]
thought / would give it trial, but
at the start / really didn't have much
faith in it, because ! had already TAX
en- so many other medicines without
being helped any. Well, sir, the way
Tanlac began to relieve me of that
long standing trouble in just a few
days certainly opened my eyes, so l
kept right on taking the medicine till
now my stomach is perfectly sound
in every respect. ! have a grand ap-
petite now and can eat heartily of
any thing / want and never have any
trouble with gas. ! can sleep as
soundly as a school boy at night and
get up in the morning feeling fine
and ready for a hearty breakfast and
when / start off to work / feel like
life is really worth while. / just wish
everybody suffering from stomach
trouble could get Tanlac, because
know what it did for me and feel
sure it will help others"

Madison-The Wisconsin legislature
January IL. A long session of the leg
islature is expected. Many war prob

them is expected to be protracted and
perhaps heated. The problem of the
returning soldier also will be a big
factor for the state lawmakers.
Farmers have the largest member
ship in the lower house of the Wis
consin legislature and lawyers the
largest membership in the upper
house. There also are many farmers

that there are forty-three farmers in
the assembly, nineteen business men,
four printers, twelve lawyers, one car
penter, three bankers, one chef, two
machinists, one glass blower, three
real estate and insurance agents, one
vulcanizer, one bricklayer, two con-
tractors, one labor organizer, three
liquor dealers and one hotel proprie-
tor.
Most Farmers Since 1873.
The house has the largest represen-
tation of farmers of any session since
1873, when the Granger movement
was swept into power.
In the senate there are nine lawyers,
four bankers, four businessmen, one
bookkeeper, three real estate and in
surance agents, four farmers, one
publisher, one physician and one con-
tractor.

the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the

your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
nlatism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
ALI these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.

q 'new discovery" For 200 years they
