The Month of Brides

June is here. 1t is the month of
brides. roses, wedding bells, old
shoes and other prominent fea-
lures of social life.
June was chosen as the month
of brides for some reason UNI
known to the writer. Any other
month in the year is just as good
for brides as June. The brides of
June do not escape dishwashing,
cooking, any more than do the
brides of August and Septem-
Der. And there are more June
brides in the divorces court
than the brides of any other
month; for the simple reason
that there are more June brides
to get into the divorce courts.
OF course June brides are al
ways pretty. Nobody ever saw
a June bride that wasn't glori-
ously radiant and bewitching in
her flowing robes. 1t is a COM
mon belief that the brides of all
months, exclusive of June, are as
homely as a mud fence or a Ger
man barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT.

this year of our Lord nineteen

He is only an innocent bystander

WORLDS RECORD is BROK.
EN- BY TANLAC
Bottles Sold In Four Years
Would Reach From New York
To Denver, Colo.

Four years ago very few peo-
pie had ever heard of Tanlac.
Today it .unquestionably has the
largest sale of any medicine in
the world and is as we'll known
in Canada as in this country. In
the breif period of only four
years time this now famous
remedy has leaped from obscure
ty to the very pinnacle of success.
Its fame in fact, has long since
spread beyond the limits of the
continent, and numerous in
quiries regarding it are now be-
ing received from many foreign
countries.
Very few people however, fully
realize what a really wonderful
record Tanlac has made. Indeed,
if it were not for the unquestion-
able facts and figures out by the
largest and best known drug
firms of the country the story of
its success would be hard to be-
lieve.
Up to January first the total
sales of Tanlac amounted to APP
proNimately twelve million bot
ties. The demand however is in
creasing, for during the first ten
weeks of this year over one mil
lion bottles were sold and dis
tributed in the United States and
Canada, the exact figure being
,3O6, 1856, in three months.
At this rate, therefore the
sales for the present year will
amount to more than five million
bottles. This will mean that H..
600 bottles of Tanlac will be sold
during every day of the year, O,
21O0 bottles for every hour OF
the average working day.
These figures are too stipend
GUS for the average mind tt
grasp, but one may visualiz.
: what twelve million bottles NEAR
by imagining them laid out in ;
single file end to end. Thus lait
? they would make a track of Tan
lac from New York through
Chicago, and on to Denver, Colo.
or they would form a doubl,
track of Tanlac from the Grea
) Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico
: Piled end on end they would
tower 1876 times as high as Pike
Peak, or rise 1888 times high
er than the Woolworth Buildin,
) in New York, the tallest buildin,
f in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has be
, come so great that its sale in
J. stead of being measured by tn
gross as other preparations hav
). been, is now reckoned by the car
: load, and even by the train loac
$ In proof of this it it a noteworth,
fact that the leading druggis
jobbers everywhere now blu,
y Tanlac almost exclusively in ca
: load lots. To supply the Pacifi
Coast trade alone requires fror
forty to fifty car loads per yeal
Jobbers of the Middle West ar
selling from seventy to eight
cars per wear.
