Hundreds of such statements as the
above are reaching the Tanlac offices
daily from all parts of the United
States and Canada and. of course, are
very gratifying. Tanlac contains Won

a general tonic for weak, run down
systems has no equal.
When people grow to the ripe old
age Of Mr.. Bemis their digestive or

less effectually than in youth. The cir

THE Brotherhood OF St. Andrew has
maintained secretaries in the larger
military and naval stations for the
purpose OF developing personal re-
ligious work among the Christian men
serving their country. In addition 1t
has kept a great honor roll OF the men
Of the Episcopal church who entered
the service. These secretaries have
lived in tho camps, they have served
the soldiers, and have come in closest
contact with them. They have co-op-
Grated With the Y. NJ. G. A.. in many
cases working through it and are in
a position to pass Judgment on its la
Dor as a whole.
They arts chiefly business men and
have watched the activities OF the Y.
NJ. G. a. from a practical business
point as well as from the religious
viewpoint. They found the Associa-
ton struggling against tremendous
odds, and watched it overcome them.
IN suniug up, it must be confessed
that mistakes we're made by the Y. NJ.
c. A. as they were made by the army
and by every welfare organization. In
dividual men failed in their particular
jobs, things went wrong in spots, but
the fact remains that the Y. N. c. A.
did tremendous Job in magnificent
way.

Evening Chat

ne GFeaIeSG lnlhS III IHS'
What to your notion is the greatest
thing in life? I've been thinking about
it for long time. Several months
ago received a letter from California
which said: Il saw The Creates!
Thing in Life Today and shall never
forget it." sav it myself yesterday,
having waited for it for long time.
It is showing in picture form at the
Nelson. 1t is very much like al the
war picures we have seen recently
except that running through this one
is an unusual love story. The central
theme, as saw it, was wrapped in the
story OF the herotne's development.
She was first attracted to a very par
ticular young gentleman-one OF those
fellows whose tastes run 70 the nice
ties Of life. He felt he loved this girl
but he had spells when his love slid
easily into dissatisfaction because She
insisted on flirting with the various
customers who came into her fathers
store. One day he said to her: Il
have loved you for year but find
you are just simp-will probably
marry simp-and then therell be a
lot Of little simps!" The young lady
took the exclamation with open mouth
and promptly lost her temper COM
pletely. But the young man had gone.
Later she went to France. Still later
he followed her.

SAYS Y.M.C.A. DID
BIG JOB IN FRANCE
Brotherhood of St. Andrew
Man Tells What He
Thinks About 1t.

PHILADELPHIA, March 29-Com.
ing to the defense of the Y. NJ. c. A.,
the Army and Navy Department OF the
Brotherhood of St. Andrew of the Epis-
copal church today issued statement
through its executive secretary, F. S.
Ellsworth, a business man Of Denver
Colo, frankly acknowledging that mis-.
takes were made by the Association,
but declaring that in spite of them the
Y. NJ. c. A. did tremendous job in a
magnificent way. 1t is as follows:
There has been considerable crit
icism Of the Y. NJ. c. A. Most Of it
has been unfair, some of it has been
extremely foolish and untrue on the
face of things if one stopped to think.
Because these criticisms have been
spread broadcast and are believed by
so many persons, the Army and Navy
Department Of the Brotherhood of St.
Andrews feels it should speak out at
this time. Ii believes that the various
welfare and religious organizations
which worked in the camps and SOW
the work Of the association should
frankly express their opinion OF it.

back what he last remarked so acidly.
The two spend many happy hours to-

the little lady tires OF being sedate
