ILLINOIS DOCTOR
PRESCRIBES 1T
Says He Has Never Known Med
icine To Produce Results Like
Tanlac

Is. H. Eldef;-~M d. with officess at
410 Schradzki Building. Peoria, H..
comes out with his unqualified en-
dorsement of Tanlac
DR.. Elder graduated from Butter
University of indianapolis, Ind, later
took a post graduate course at Rush
! College, Chicago. and has also studied
abroad
He has been in active practice over
forty years-twenty-five years in
Peoria-and is one Of the best known
physicians Of that city.
$50 far as my knowledge goes
said DIR. Elder, in an interview re-
Gently, medical science has never
produced a medicine that brings re-
lsults like Tanlac. 1t is altogether too
good to keep from suffering humanity
and / have been prescribing it in my
practice for some time with remark
able results.
For years I had suffered from
stomach trouble and rheumatism and
had devoted my best thought trying
to find relief, but all to no avail. Right
after eating, gas would form In my
stomach and affect my heart, caus-
ing poor circulation, cold hands md
feet, dizzy spells, spots before my
eyes. peculiar feelings, terrible head
aches, and cramps in my stomach.
The rheumatism was the kind that is
caused by uric acid deposits in the
blood. which find their way into the
joints and the pain was so great
could hardly stand to move my legs
and arms.
$50, it's no surprise that I devot-
ed lots OF time and thought, using
all my powers, trying to free myself
of these troubles But nothing
ever found until got Tanlac afford
ed me more than little temporary
relief. And here is how found out
the powers of Tanlac; / had patient
who had suffered for years with the.
same kind of troubles and while; /
did all could for him, the same as
for myself, he failed to improve any.
Well, this party came to my office
one day, after having been away for
about six months, and / never in all
my life saw a man look in better
health or seem to(feel better While
sitting there in my office he told me
Tanlac was what brought about the
wonderful change. I could not doubt
it, for | knew what an awful condi-
ton he had been in, and / made ur
my mind then and there to try Tan
lac in my own case So did and til
results are that a few bottles reliev-
ed me entirely of stomach trolble and
rheumatism and all my other ailments
as we'll. | am an extra hearty eater
especially of meats and such foods as
often produce bad effects but none of
these things disagree with me any
more So now, as / have discovered
the value of Tanlac / am ready to
honor it as one of the most bene-
fetal of all medicines. I have pre-
scribed it in cases of rheumatism,
kidney and bladder disorders and a
run down condition, with wonderful
results. / feel that / ought, for the
benefit of suffering humanity to-
give my experience with Tanlac to
the general public"
Tanlac is sold in Baraboo by Fisher
Bros at Reedsburg by Mr.. Henry
Thieman and in Sank City by g..
Naffz.

NO PROMOTION STOCK A STRONG, SAFE, SOUND, CONSERVATIVE COMPANY
A UNIQUE SITUATION

While I waited for my permit and held tight to my contract the company brought in it's wells and they have such a good thing of it they took all the stock off the market except what was already contrac ted for And t it were not for my contract the public would not now get look in.
 At recent directors meeting of the M id Texas Petroleum Corporation all the re- maining unsold stock was taken of the market the price at that time being $2 % per share And now you could not get a share from the company even at S4.00.
 Previous to that time had under written and contracted to sell certain yet expired. This is being published by myself and all orders for stock to be sent direct to me as no stock can be had from the Corporation.
 I sold one hundred thousand shares in Ala bama before the law went into effect and have been held up waiting until now. The Corporation is now financed and is not in need of funds. and if it were not for the contract hold no shares would be available.
 The Corporation is now paying dividends and is making all preparations to make ap- plication to be listed the New York Curb within the next few weeks. It is con templated starting the shares on the Curb at $500 per share and it is the opinion of the brokers who are expecting to have it in charge. that the shares will advance rapidly to as high Sl5-00 to $ls.o0- The Cor poration anticipates being listed on the Curb sometime during the month of June to the first of July and the unsod part of the stool. that is not covered by outstanding contracts are to be held to be sold after the price advances
 Those who take advantage of my con tract. and buy shares now which l secured last November while the Corporation only Ao one well in. will have the opportunity, I think. of doubling and trebling their money in very brief period of time.
 This is a real opportunity that has been brought about more by chance than any thing else. as the Corporation has ceeded beyond the fondest expectations of the directors and development was much more rapid than they had anticipated when they made their contract with me.
 Understand not share can be had from the Corporation They do not need the money. They have good thing and know it. If it were not for my contract made November last, could not offer any of the shares
 I could not offer the shares earlier as it takes about 30 to 50 days for the Exc cutive Officer of the State Securities Com mission of Alabama to visit the Texas oil fields and investigate a company even after an application has been reached which often requires 80 days.
 Mid Texas is qualified to do business in Alabama, although in the meantime the wells have been brought in and the stock taken of the market by the company while waited and held tight to my contract

The Speculative Features Have Been Largely
 Eliminated. This Is Now an Investment

I have presented to you the affairs of the Mid- Texas Petroleum Corporation, what they are, and the development work they have done, are doing and expect to do.
 After having read this through, you are just as familiar with the Company properties, and what it has, as if you made personal visit of inspection to the State of Texas to look them over.
 You have always said that you would make an investment in an oil company if you knew that the officers of the company were reliable men and if you knew that the statement made to you by the company, or by it's represtatives, were true and correct.
 You now have this opportunity and you know that the officers of this company are reliable, and you know that this company has everything it claims to have and you know that the Securi- ties Commission of Alabama, after thorough investigation, has granted permit for this com

Of the food surveyors-proprieto of
caravansaries that cater to midday ap-

lower lunch prices with contempt They
think the idea as it features in an active
crusade is mostly noise. They don't
believe it will last. Where, they ask, is
the much-tooted notwithstanding crusade
at this time? But wearing overalls, say
the skyscraper and central warehouse
brigades, was never anything but Joke
But this carry-your-own-lunch scheme,
they say, is not whimsical 1t is prac-
tlcable, and besides, the lunches put
up at home average better in addition
TO costing less.
Chicago is going in for this carry
your-own-lunch scheme just like the
unsalted sea city goes in for culture.
Which is to say she is making the crusade

down food charges includes waterways

There is very general talk about the

the lowering of restaurant charges, but

But meet them az n man, my boy, and

Oh, you shall look in failures face and
you shall hear the scoffers leer,
And you shall feel like giving up because

And you shall see your plans go wrong
and all your castles tumble down -
But keep the faith and start anew, and
you shall some day WIN renown.

Series for the benefit of thievish gamblers
is only the second instance of the kind in

and shut out from tho game for all time
This second instance has been attended
by the indictment of eight members Of the
Chicago American League team, and

Full Accommodations for Voting.

The almost overwhelming outpouring
of women on Saturday, September Is, to
! take advantage of the first day of registra-
ton, was ample evidence that nearly all OF
the women of Delaware desire to partici-
pate in the voting ut the general election
and therefore are urgent in qnalifymgthem-
selves according to law. There is little
doubt that the close of the final rcgistra-
tion, Saturday, October l6, will find lew
women of voting age in the State not duly
prepared to cast their ballots.
This large increase In voting population
probably so per cent OF the total vote
four years ago-brings with it very inn
portant and practical proposition. that OF
complete arrangements for receiving ana
counting the enhanced vote. At past
elections the large number of registered
voters in some districts made prolonged
task of counting the ballots, and also made
it matter of rush and confusion at times
to receive the votes of those entitled to
vote. That this situation will be much
more intense at the coming election is an
assured fact.
Manifestly. the great need is for more
voting places Probably forty election
districts in the State will have such large
registered vote that it will not be physically
possible, even with every minute OF the
available time utilized, to receive all the
ballots and deposit them in the boxes.
But new districts may be provided only by
legislative action, and fortunately there
is time for this.
Wehope, therefore, Governor Townsend
will act favorably on the request that has
been made of him to call a special session
of the Legislature for the purpose OF
making adequate provision for voting.
The work could be done in single day
Unless suitable provision is made, there
will be grave danger of election day trouble
at the congested voting places, and tins
should be avoided, in the interest OF all
voters. especially the women. The latter
are entitled TO congenial and safe sur
in casting their maiden ballots.
Indeed. unless something is done, many OF
them NAV be disfranchised by reason OF
the great number Of ballots TO be re-
ccived during the lawful hours of election.
Every sound consideration of the subject
calls for remedying Of this threatened
trouble and injustice on election day.
