Ill.,, the other day.
yes, sir, it's the honest truth" he
continued, "this Tanlac has overcome
a mighty bad case of stomach trouble
and rheumatism for me. My legs were
so badly done up with rheumatism,
and ached and panied so bad that l
couldn't sleep at night to do any good,
and my hands were so badly drawn ard
swollen l couldn't use my pick half Of
the time. Then, too, l suffered some
thing awful with stomach trouble.
Everytime I ate anything I would be
bloated up with gas for hours after
wards, and l would have the worst
cramping pains in my stomach you
ever heard of. Sometimes these cramp-
ing spells would hit me while / was
in the mine at work and I would have
to run out and lie down somewhere I'M
til it passed off. I finally got in such
bad shape that I had to quit my job,
and for three months I was not able to
hit a lick of work.
ri was looking over the paper one
night and I saw a statement from our
State Mine Inspector in which ne
stated that Tanlac had given him great
relief from just such troubles as l
was suffering from, and I lost no time
in getting me a bottle of this medi-
cine. Well, to make a long story short,
Tanlac just simply knocked my trou-
bles winding, and / am so well and
strong now that I am back or the job
working hard every day and making
more money than I ever did in my
life. The rheumatism is gone, and I
never have an ache or pain from that
trouble. Ny stomach troubles are all
over, too, and I eat three meals every
day and don't ever suffer any after
words. l actually believe I am strong
err now that I ever was in my life, and
you would think so too if you could
see the tons Of coal I pile up every
day. Tanlac is a real medicine, and
you can rely on me to boost it every

Just because the Grand Fleet dropped
out of the news after the battle Of Jut-

It merely loafed thereafter and waited
for the Germans to show UP. Rear Ad-
miral Victor Blue told TOO members and
guests Of the State Bar Association at
their annual dinner at the Hotel Astor
last night.
AS young Lieutenant Blue twice
penetrated the Spanish lines at Santiago
and found out where the Spanish fleet
was. At the beginning of this war he
insisted on leaving his desk job and his

battle as commander OF the Texas, Amer

in his old post at Washington. Nat
