Farmer Gains Thirty Pounds and
Gets Rid of Rheumatism By
Taking TanlaC.

YES, sir, l certainly can en-
dorse Tanlac, for l know what 1t
will do and l know IL from per-
sonal experience" said Robert
Kersch. a well known and pros
porous farmer living at Spencer,
Neb. while in the Central drug
store in Milwaukee, Wis, the
other day
Il am here on a visit to my
mother who lives at 1888 Lewis
avenue" continued Mr.. Kersch,
"and as my Tanlac gave out I
thought l would just drop in and
get another bottle This medicine
has done so much for me that just
can't afford to be without it. Three
years ago, my health went down
completely and 1 suffered like
bIazss up to a couple of months ago
when l got hold of Tanlac My
stomach was in an awful condI-
ton. In fact, | had gotten to the
point where everything / ate dis

that I would die from the awful
cramping spells | would often have
after meals. Very often gas would

choke me up and almost cut my
breath off l also suffered from
binding headaches every day or so.
Then too, l had a pain in the small
Of my back nearly all the time, and
II 1 stopped over I could hardly
straighten up again. In addition
to all these troubles I had rheu-
matism in my left shoulder so bad
that most of the time l was not able
to raise my hand to my head.
Just seemed to lose all the strength
and energy l had, and fell off in
weight from 1856 pounds, to los
pounds and was so weak and run
down l could hardly get about.
That was the condition l was in
when a man came out on the farm
one day to build a bridge, and as
soon as he heard about the condi-
ton was in, he advised me to take
Tanlac, and also told me how it
overcome similar trouble for him
( Well, sir, I have actually gotten
back 80 pounds of my lost weight
already, and when it comes to being
sound and healthy there isn't q
man in this country who has any
thing on me. Why. l am as well
and strong as 1 ever was in my
life, and my stomach is in such fine
condition that I can eat just any
thing I want and never. suffer a
particle afterwards. No more
cramping spells, no more rheuma-

are gone and I just feel fine all the

and eat as many big meals a day

the above four are using this method.
 So long as the controlling interest above referred to are entrusted with the job of getting the market on an even keel stockholders and miners have little to fear. Their interests are as stockholders and producers, but the interests of the miners are the same, for the siidlng scale of wages is but method of sharing the profits of higher prices higher prices mean higher wages.
 The placing of the copper market in balance is big undertaking, on which men have gone broke many times, with less tha.l the present day burden. Many months may elapse before the market is normal, but master hands are at the helm, and the miners know it--,hus their con fdence.

COPPER MINERS AND STOCK
 HOLDERS WATCH MARKET

Bisbee, August 7th.-Copper miners and stockholders alike are watching with keen interest the copper market and the progres of the price of cop per and are rlacing great confidence in the ability of the large operators to handle the situation satisfactorily for them. The miner is interested, for to him it means, higher wages, while the stockholder is interested in returns on his capital invested. From all indications it would seem that the interests of both are being amply pro- tected.

WHY WORRY ABOUT
 BOOZE WHEN YOU GAN '5
 GROW A GARDEN JAG7


 Phoenix, Ariz.., August 7th- Piled up at the side of the tsherin's of fee in Phoenix is a big auto load of ..1marahuana" confscated from sever al Mexican gardeners at Tempe, Not long ago the sheriff secured a lot of the stuff at Loma Alto. The officer has seized this plant without any authority of law, but considering the character of it he believes he will have public opinion behind him in his efforts to stamp it out in that community.
 In his opinion it is subject with which the legislature will have to deal and he thinks that it should be brought before the next session and acted on promptly. Though it has been used for many years by a certain class of Mexicans only on ac- count of the ease with which alcohol, cocaine, heroin and smilar drugs could be produced it did not come into gen eral use. Now that these things are hard to get, no doubt the use of it will be greatly extended.
 Though the plant is not indigenous to the soil of the Salt River valley, it thrives there lururantly and for the last year or two it has been raised in many Mexican gardners with profit There is no drug that requires so lit tie preparation for use. All that is to be done is to dry the leaves, which are then crushed and used in smok- ing in pipes or in making cigarettes.
 The use of marahuana is forbidden by an ordinance of the city of Phoenix but it is for sale in most of the towns of the valley outside of Phoenix. It comes in packages about two inches sells for sixty cents. Formerly all the prepared marahuana came from Mexico, but un}es restrictions hrk placed upon the cultivation of it in this state it may be expected that it will be prepared here.
 The first effect of it is similar to that of drink of whiskey, but the permanent injury to the brain is in- fiicted much more rapidly than that of liquor. The effect of cocaine and heroin is said to be much more de- Iiberate and much less violent The mraahuana addicts are in more abject slavery to it than victims of other drugs become. It is said that the cigarettes made of it sell for twently- five cents apiece.
