ILLINOIS DOCTOR
PRESCRBES IT
Says He Has Never Known Medicine
to Produce Results Like Tanlac

DR.. B. H. Elder, with offices at 4l0
Shradski Bldg, Peoria, ILL.,, who has
been in active practice for over forty
years, says:
Medical science has never before
produced a medicine that brings re-
suits like Tanlac l have been pre-
scribing it some time with remarkable
results. Personally l had suffered for
years from stomach trouble and rheu-
matism and had devoted my best
thought trying to find relief but to
no avail, After eating, gas would form
in my stomach and affect my heart,
causing poor circulation, cold hands
and feet, dizziness, peculiar feelings
terrible headaches and cramps. The
rheumatism panied me so | could hard
ly stand to move my legs or arms
81 had patient who had suffered
also for years with the same trouble
as mine, and although l did all 1
could for him he got no better. One
day, after he had been away for about
six months, he came to my office and
never in my life have | seen a man
look better or seem to feel better than
he did, He told me Tanlac was what
had brought about the wonderful
change. l began trying the medicine
at once with the result that few bot
ties relieved me entirely of stomach
trouble, rheumatism and all my other
ailments, Although am an extra
hearty eater nothing ever disagrees
with me any more. 1 have prescribed
Tanlac in cases of rheumatism, kid
ney and bladder disorders and a run
down condition with wonderful re-
suits, and 1 feel that 1 ought to give
my experience with Tanlac to the pub
lie for the benefit of suffering human
ity"
Tanlac is sold in Middlebury at

CONDEMNATION Boys and Girls Only
By E. T. Meredith, Secretary of Agriculture

By f. T. Meredith, Secretary of Agriculture
want to say just few words to
the farm boys and farm girls, and the
older people need not bother to read it
at all
Now, you and l know that the boys
and girls club work represents one of
the most important lines of agriculture
activity in the United States today. l
believe it is important, because it has
such large possibilities We men and
women who are trying to improve
farming and farm life will be out of the
game when you boys and girls are just
reaching the prime of life. You have
the advantage of us, because you are
learning the principles of good agri-
culture and home making while you
are still young enough to learn to the
best advantage and to apply in a prac-
teal way the knowledge thus gained
throughout your whole lives
Even as boys and girls you are ac-
comprising more good than can be
measured. The good that you will be
able to do will increase as you grow
older and, when you become full
grown men and women, you can supply
for the agricultural forces of this Ma
ton leadership such as the world has
never known before.
| congratulate the boys and girls
club members, And | would like to
ask favor of the boys and girls who
are not members of the clubs We are
trying-the United States Department
OF Agriculture, the State agricultural
colleges, and a great many other peo-
Qle-to make the farms of this coun-
try profitable and home life on the
farm more pleasant. I wish the rest
of you boys and girls would join with
those who are already members of the
clubs and help us in accomplishing
this great service for our common
country. 1t is a patriotic thing to do;
and it is a service that can not be
rendered by anybody except you boys
and girls
The year 1920 should be the biggest
year in the history of boys and girls
club work-and | am confident that it
will be. The country is facing a diff
cult situation because so many men
have left the farms to work in the city.
The good work that the club boys and
girls can do will help to overcome that
handicap-and the club boys and girls
will do that kind of work this year. 1t
may hearten you to know that many
of us here in the Department of Agri-
culture look upon the boys and girls
clubs much as Caesar must have look
ed upon the Tenth Legion or Napo-
leon upon the Old Guard The other
forces may fail, but we know that we
can rely on you.
| might not be willing to see you
undertake such serious service if l did
not know that while you work hard,
you play joyously together 1 am sure
that the boys and girls in the clubs
have better times than the boys and
girls who are not in the clubs and
that is an additional compensation
to you for the hard work you do in
the club work

4 Frank w. Agan was born in Ply
mouth, VT, Dec. 10th, 1869, the son of
John and Amanda Henry Agan He
left Plymouth with his folks when he
was two years old and went to school
in Ludlow
He graduated from Black River
academy and went to work in the
wooden mills of Ludlow, in one Of the
plants which he now owns, and learn
ed the business, being advanced to an
overseer's position and becoming
chemistry and dyeing expert
While in the dyeing department he
invented a cleanser for wool that was
widely and successfully used. Later
in life he secured basic patents on an
adding machine and combination
vacuum cleaner and sweeper, which he
later disposed of.
A Self-made Man
He went to Gilsum, n H., for three
years, but returned to Ludlow in 1893
and built the plant for treating wool
waste or shoddy which he owned and
managed until 1919 He bought an
interest in the Verd Mont mill Just
below Ludlow on the Black river, and
managed that property for about IS
years. Later he acquired an interest
in the Ludlow wooden mill which he
still owns and operates.
The Ludlow mill which was an old
fashioned plant, he equipped in mod
ern fashion, SO that both the "old mill"
and the Verd Mont are now successful,
efficient properties
Frank W. Agan represented Ludlow
in the legislature of 1904, being chair
man of the committee on manufac-
lures and a member of the commit
tees on temperance and the general
committee. He has taken an active
personal part in all town and village
activities and in 1902 devoted much
time and energy to the local option
campaign as a candidate for lieuten-
ant governor
Frank W. Agan, His Politics
He came into the present campaign
at the suggestion OF his fellow-towns-
men in Ludlow, 400 of whom organized
an Agan club under the auspices of
which his entire campaign is being di-
rected.
Mr.. Agan has no paid campaign
manager, no publicity director, no paid
workers in any part of the state. His
campaign expenses are being handled
by the local officers of his club, and
the books are open for inspection at
any time.
His platform is the shortest on re-
cord and his campaign slogan is ex-
pressed in the following words:-
"For the present, intend to advo-
cate the return of their personal rights
to all the people of Vermont. 1 be-
Ieve they are capable of self-govsrn-
ment."
Confronted by a demand for the es-
Enlistment of a slush fund and a paid
organization of hired helpers, Mr..
Agan said recently
"NOt one paid worker, solicitor or
canvasssr will be employed by me in
any county of the state. I was sur
prised to learn that some of ing COM
petitors already hRe made such ar
which are clearly in VIC
alton of the law of the state"
Frank W. Agan is conducting a
clean-cut open and above-boaSd cam
Daign and we believe in his platform
and his methods.
