IS NOW ABLE TO
EAT BREAKFAST
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO
YEARS is ABLE TO DIGEST ANY
KIND OF FOOD

IF anybody had told me that there
was any medicine that would help me
as Tanlac has, / would have laughed
at them" said H. M. Owens, who lives
at Anaheim, Cali. while in Los An
geles the other day.
Mr.. Owens is one of the most prom
inent men in his section, and has been
very successful in operating a large
orange grove which he owns.
Continuing he said: This medicine
is worth its weight in gold and if the
price of it was. twenty-five dollars a
bottle, l would buy it just the same. l
began to suffer from stomach trouble
about three years ago and although |
had treatment from the best special
lists in the country, and took many diff
ferent kinds of medicine, my condi-
ton gradually grew worse all the time.
| had reached the point where | could
re tain but very little of what | ate
and often had bad cramping spells.
Then my nerves went back on me and
such a thing as a good nights sleep
was out of the question with me. |
finally had to give up trying to attend
to my business and came to Los An
geles, thinking some of the special
lists here might help me. l had my
stomach washed out several times but
it didn't do me any good at all, and
just got so weak and run down that
l was hardly able to go at all.
Zone night about three or four
weeks ago while looking over the pa
per- | noticed a statement about Tan
lac that interested me very much and
after reading this statement | asked
my wife to order me a bottle of this
medicine Well, l commenced TAX
ing Tanlac that very night, and sir
by the time l had finished that first
bottle | knew that | had at last found
a medicine that would overcome my
troubles and restore me to health
My wife could hardly believe me when
| told her that l was hungry and that
| wanted something substantial to eat
and her surprise was even greater
when she saw that | could retain what
| ate and that did not show any signs
of suffering afterwards. | just stuck
to Tanlac and continued to improve
until now l am feeling like a different
man altogether. Why, | actually sat
down and ate a big steak yesterday
and that is something l haven't dared
to do for more than two years. am
getting stronger every day, and am
gaining in weight right along. My
appetite is getting better right along
and just eat anything that comes to
hand, and what l eat doesn't hurt me
at all. o. l tell you it is wonderful,
and my wife and / are so happy over
my great improvement that we have
sent the good news broadcast to our
friends and relatives Tanlac is one
medicine that will do all they say it
will do, and l am more than glad to
recommend it to everybody
Tanlac is sold In Bonners Ferry by
c. D. Simonds, druggist and at Lenia

came dark, yellow and muddy as

misery, and l would awake as tired as
when | went to sleep. l heard of
Chamberlain's Tablets and found such
relief after taking them that l kept up

PEACE Time RED CROSS
FACES HUGE TASKS
War Task Not Finished Public
Health Problems Must Be
Solved BY Red Cross

The American Red Cross, according
to statement just issued from Wash
ington. D.. c., believes that its first
duty is to finish its war task, one hun
dred per cent. The Red Cross must
also continue to carry on even more
effectively than in the past, its estab-
lished system of National and Inter
national relief. in mitigating the suf-
fering caused by famine, fire, floods,
and great national calamities. 1t must
also render every necessary service
to the Army and Navy, and must con-
tinue the work undertaken prior to
the war in the field of nursing and
First Aid
The responsibilities of the Red
Cross are greatly increased as result
of the lessons taught by the war, the
statement continues. Higher stand
ards Of responsibility have been set
to prevent needless suffering and loss
of life. The Red Cross. with its tradi-
lions and its established organization,
will aid in maintaining these stand
ards by cooperating with all recog-
nized agencies engaged in conserving
human life and happiness. Activities
already authorized include the en-
enlargement and support of Public
Health Nursing. educational classes in
dietetics, home care of the sick, and
First Aid the extension of Red Cross
Home Service, an increased Junior
program, ands cooperation in develop
ing community health centers.
War time developments have given
every community in the United States
recognized and organized center of
Red Cross activity through which the
people of that community may, If they
wish, serve themselves, with all the
advantages of national leadership, ma
tional standards, national and inter
national contacts. 1t rests with the peo-
pie of every community to determine
for themselves just how fully they
have need of movement which under
the associated Red Cross Societies is
to express the effort of the peoples
of the world to free themselves from
needless death and suffering through
neighborly cooperation and service.
