HAIL HIT some SECTIONS
TOBACCO AND CORN POUNDED
AND INJURED
Rain. Wind and Hail Pass From West
to East in Vernon COunty-Strip
About Two Miles Wide

Seldom a season passes that hail
fails to pelt growing crops in this
section. And we are no exception
now. At an early hour last Friday
morning in down pour of rain came
wind and hail. We ought to be truly
thankful that it extended over but a
small area. First signs of it are
found at the Goodell farm north of
town. At the Theodore Larson and
K. M. Graimsrud farms it was most
severe, extending north to about West
by. North and south the damage
strip was about three miles, east and
west eight or ten miles. So far as
we can learn there is no total loss on
any farm. In some places the ground
was covered with hail, from pea size
to hen egg dementions. Tobacco was
pounded hard and corn shredded.
Tobacco has made fine growth since
the late rains and the crop is evening
up amazingly. Suckerlng is being
quite extensively done now. A num-
Der have commenced shedding and
IN a few instances people have COM
pleted their harvest. The uneveness
OF the acreage means that the crop
harvst will extend over six or eighs
weeks If frost holds off.

AFRAID TO DRIVE

POUNDS - TANLAC RE-
STORES HEALTH

81 never expected to be the strong,
well man | am today and my neigh
bors think my recovery is the most
astonishing thing that has ever hap
pened in this part of the country"
said Hiram Robinson, a well known
farmer, r. F. ID. 3, Randolph, Illinois,
in relating his remarkable experience
with Tanlac while in Shorthose drug
store at Bloomington, recently.
81 used to think no medicine could
help me-" he continued, "but I've got
to hand it to Tanlac, as it has not only
relieved me entirely of all my suffer
ing, but has added nearly forty pounds
to my weight besides. For eleven
years / was hardly able to be up,
much less work, and when / ventured
to eat anything except broth and the
very lightest of food | would put in a
day of the worst misery imaginable.
If / ate a piece of pie or cake or a lit
tie fruit gas would form on my stom-
ach and bring on such awful cramp-
ing pains that could hardly stand it,.
This gas would press on my heart,
nearly cutting off my breath, and
cause such a dizzy, whirling sensation
i'm my head that thought | would go
distracted. | dropped down all of
forty pounds in weight and got so
weak that ! could hardly walk. At
the time ! got Tanlac ] had not been
able TO do my work for a year. | was
not only an absolute wreck physically,
but my nerves were in such shape
that | couldn't lie still at night and
during the day | was just like a fish
out of water. | was habitually con-
stipated and had such hurting in my
head just back of my eyes that could
not read at all. ! was so nervous,
weak and dizzy that ! was actually
afraid to drive a team to town and
had taken so many different medicines
without getting any better that / had
given up in utter despair.
"But one day ] was pursuaded by
my wife TO get bottle of Tanlac and
right there is where my recovery
started If / should sit down here
and talk or write for solid week |
couldn't tell how thankful | am for
getting out Of my misery to where
can enjoy living again. / now eat
all kinds of meats, vegetables, pies
and cake. In fact | eat like a wolf
and enjoy every mouthful, and never
have the least trouble with my stom-
ach. / sleep as good as | did when a
boy and can do as much work as
ever could in my life. | used to lag
behind the boys in the field, when /
was able to work at all, but now they
have TO step some TO keep up with me.
| am not one bit constipated and have
not had one cramp in my stomach
since Tanlac commenced TO bring me
out Of the kinks. What / say is more
than verified by my looks, but my
neighbors will tell you the same thing.
| will never get through praising Tan
lac"
Tanlac is sold in Viroqua by e. F.
