II could buy nice automobile

the last fourteen years trying to get
rid Of my troubles, and my efforts
failed completely until commenced
taking Tanlac," said Mrs. J. w. Sell
Kirk, who lives at 1876 Livingston
street, Peoria, the other day
Mrs. Selkirk is one of the best
Known women in Peoria and occu-
pies one of the most important Of
Sfices in the Eastern Star Lodge No.
S113 Of that city. In relating fur
hther her experiences with Tanlac,
sshe, said: Sometimes for months at
Ia time I would not average over
three hours sleep each night on &C
count Of extreme nervousness which
was the result of long years of suf-
fering. My stomach was in very bad
condition all the time, and almost
as soon as l would finish eating a
meal, my food would begin to sour,
and gas would form SO bad that l
would be miserable for two or three
hours. Sometimes this gas would
get all up in my chest and would
almost choke up, and ! would be-
come very much alarmed at the way
my keart would palpitate. would
have terrible spells of nervous in
digestion, and when these spells
would come on me my whole body
would break out with cold perspira-
ton. These spells would usually be
followed by severe headaches. My
husband did everything that was in
his power for me. He had me exam
med and treated by the best special
lists he could find, but in spite of it
all just kept on getting weaker all
the time, and l finally came to the
conclusion that nothing would ever
do me any good.
at was hard matter for me to
make up my mind to take this Tan
lac, for l had been disappointed so
many times that / had about lost
faith in all kinds Of medicines. /
finally made up my mind to get one
bottle of Tanlac, and if l felt that
it did me good / would get more. To
my great surprise l commenced to
feel better before / had finished my
first bottle. My husband noticed
it too, and he was very careful from
that time on not to let the Tanlac
run out. Well, to tell you the truth,
it is all so wonderful that l just
don't know how to express myself,
SO ! will just say that Tanlac has
removed all my troubles, and l am
in as perfect health now as l ever
was in my life. and have gained
seventeen pounds in weight and I
think that speaks mighty well for
Tanlac. All my acquaintance are
talking about my recovery, and
you just ought to hear me tell them
that Tanlac is responsible for it.
Tanlac has restored my health and
am now so happy and grateful
that / never lose an opportunity
to speak a good word for this great
medicine. am more than glad to
give this statement"

Commission Men Unable to
Prophesy. What Figure Will
Be Reached Before Next
Crop Is Ready.

With the price of hogs climbing
to dizzy heights and reaching a
record figure of $2065 on the local
market Wednesday, commission men
and live stock producers are I'M
able to prophesy to what point the
price will go.
Two hog crops are marketed each
year. One of these crops is sold on
the November and December mar
kets while the other crop is dis
posed of in June. The November
crop is almost exhausted, record
prices having led the farmers to
market their entire crops before a
possible break in the market. The
demand for pork products of all
kinds is greater than ever. Lifting
the government restrictions against
export to foreign markets has in
creased the demand.
In the intervening seven weeks,
before the June crop of hogs is
marketed, hog prices may climb to
undreamed of heights, according to
live stock men.
