Gains Twenty Pounds and Gets Rid
Of Rheumatism after Taking Tan
lao

IT tried for sixteen long years to
find a medicine or treatment that
would overcome my troubles. but all
my efforts failed completely until
commenced taking Tanlac." said Dan

my general health Just seemed to
give down all at once" continued
Mr.. Conn, land during all these years
it has been q hard struggle for me to
keep on my feet. It was just a gen.
eral all round breakdown, but my
stomach seemed to give me more
trouble than anything else. What
little ate just seemed to lie like q
lump Of lead right In the pit Of my
stomach and would cause me to SUI
fer something awful. All my
strength left me and just had to
drag around with no life hardly al
all. Then to make matters worse
rheumatism hit me about four years
ago. and this trouble got SO bad that
it finally put me in bed where / had
to stay for good long time. For
several days at a time. my legs would
be 50 badly drawn up that / couldn't
straighten them out at all. and the
only way, I could get any relief was
by rubbing my legs for hours at a
time. lost so much in weight until
got to where I looked like a skele-
ton almost. I went everywhere for
treatment that was able to 90. and
tried many different kinds Of medi-
cine, but I just gradually got worse
all the time.
THAT was the condition I was in
when a friend Of mine talked me into
giving this Tanlac a trial, and sir. If
you would just come down to the
factory and see me work now, you
would never think that I was down
and out In health such short time
ago. Tanlac did 1t too, and I'll tell
the world SO. and I will say further
that / think it is the best medicine
on earth. Tanlac just hit my case
exactly, and since taking nine bot
ties of it I am as we'll and strong as
I was in my life. / have fine ap-
petite, ana everything cat oSAS~S
with me all right. My stomach trou-
BILE has been completely overcome.
and 30 has the rheumatism. / have
gained over twenty pounds in weight.
and am stronger in every way than
I have been in sixteen years. Now
a medicine that will do that much
for a man ought to be talked about.

When you wash your hair. be care

For Al Early Vets.

The treaty is still In committee.
It should be reported out and an
carly day fixed for q vote upon It.
The debate on it in the Senate has
proceeded without waiting to have
the treaty formally before It. Since
Senators think several clauses In the
covenant are too indefinite, let
reservations be annexed. and il no
signatory nation objects, they will
stand as the United States UNDER
standing of the force effect and obli-
cation Of the agreement to which she
consents. The Presidents confer
ence with the Senate Committee
ought to have been held weeks ago.
One result Of 1t should be an early
vote on the treaty.-Philadelph

Disease Traps Not Wanted.
! (Boston Transcript.)

(6Ootou 4TanScrlpt.)
II 10 no animus against smoking.
and no failure Of willingness to serve
the public pleasure, which leads to
the conclusion that the trustees of
the Elevated should not restore
smoking cars to the trains Of their
line. A plain regard for the public
health should keep these disease
traps of our highways Of. electric
transportation. During the epidemic
OF influenza 1t was evident enough
what injury the smoking cars were
causing. Largely at the instance Of
Boston's Commissioner Of Health
they were abandoned. And let no
one think that influenza Is the only
disease whose spread is favored by
the stiffness and the excessive ex-
pectoration common to smoking cars.
In the private view Of the Acting
Commissioner of Health. they are at
all times a nuisance and menace, do
ing more to increase tuberculosis,
tonsilitis, and ordinary cases Of sore
throat even. than they did to spread
influenza.
The plea IL made, Of course, that
the smoking cars are a convenience
to those who use them, and that 1t is
unfair to deprive passengers Of this
satisfaction. If this be true. then the
people of New York and of many
other large American cities have
been imposed upon most shamefully.
New York has not tolerated smoking
cars on its electric trains for a long
period of years. There is scarcely
another city of Boston's size and
reputation for civic intelligence where
smoking compartments are offered to
trolley patrons. But If it be ad-
mitted that Bostonians who want
smoking compartments are peculiar
ly entitled to have their caprice graft
fed. what about the rights of the
great majority of patrons. many low
ers of tobacco included, who never
use them? The compartments. be it
remembered. are INTERCHANGEABLE
used as smokers" and non -smok-
ers." and whether or not a man has
too much common sense to enter
them when they are made up as
smokers" he is exposed to the after
mathe of their dangers when they
are run as "non-smokers." If there
is any public interest which the trus-
tees of the Elevated should go out of
their way to protect in this matter. it
is. we take it. the health Of the ma
jority of their patrons.
Despite the noise raised in yester-
days hearing on the smoking car
question-noise which was more
than Offset by the straight forward
arguments of one speaker who voiced
with unusual competence the rea-
sons against the Observation-Disclosures
should not go backwards to the pro-
mitigation of an old nuisance and
menace, but should hold the ground
gained ami stick to 1t.
