PREsckIBEs IT.
Says He Has Never Known
Medicine To Produce Re-
suits Like TanIac

Dr. b. H. Elder, NJ D., with Of
fees at 40 Shradski Bldg, Peoria,
H., who has been in active prac-
tice for over forty years. says
Medical science has never be-
fore produced medicine that brings
results like Tanlac. | have been
prescribing it some time with re-
markable results. Personally had
suffered for years from stomach
trouble and rheumatism and had
devoted my best thought trying to
find relief but TO no avail. After
eating, gas would form in my stom-
ach and affect my heart, causing
poor circulation, cold hands and
feet, dizziness, peculiar feelings, ter
rible headaches and cramps. The
rheumatism panied me so / could
hardly stand to move my legs or
arms.
1 had a patient who had also
suffered for years with the same
trouble as mine, and although | did
all | 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. / be-
gan trying the medicine at once
with the result that few bottles
relieved me entirely of stomach
trouble, rheumatism and all other
ailments. Although ! am an extra
hearty eater nothing ever disagrees
with me any more. ! have pre-
scribed Tanlac in cases of rheuma-
tism, kidney and bladder disorders
and a run down condition with
wonderful results, and / feel that !
ought to give my experience with
Tanlac to the public for the benefit
of suffering humanity"

When you don't feel well you
are not well, Probably what you
need right now is the good blood

Hartford, Oct. 13-Eight hundred tons of anthracite coal are being un- loaded by the Hartford and New York Transportation Co. here today and about 5000 tons should be unloaded within a week. One cargo is on the way from Saybrook. one cargo for Deep River, two for Glastonbury. one to arrive Saturday for Essex and two more for Essex in about ten days This information was obtained and given out today by E. J. HoadIey of Hart ford. who has mad. an investigation or the situation in the coal fields for the Connecticut Chamber of Com merce. Mir. Hoadley says:
 Tt is my opinion there will be no advance in price of coal this sea- son unless it is a small advance which the retailers are obliged to charge on delivery. The price fixed by the large operators will stand for this season. The independent operators are taking advantage of the coal sit nation and charging any price they can get"

IMPROVEMENT NOTED
 IN COAL SITUATION,
Local Dealers Secure Ship ments-COnservatiOn Need
 ed to Avert Shortage.

Conservation of present stocks of coal and patience are necessary. local coal dealers say, if a serious shortage is to be averted in this city. In com smon with other cities throughout New England, New Britain is at pres ent facing a possibility of $23 ton coal, and, at least for short time, very little of that. If those who now have a few tons in their bins will stretch the supply as long as posslple and others be content with orders of one-haif to one ton, they say. all bins can be filled in the early part of De- cember at a reasonable price.
 Independent coal is now selling at $16 a ton at the mines, which would bring the price nearly to $23 after a shipment charge of $5.3O is paid and other incidentals such as screening, unloading and delivery are charged ups A prominent local coal man said this morning that he would refuse to handle independent coal-that which retails at $24-preferring to go out of business first.
 It is explained that the limited ship ments to the New England states have been the result of a decision by the states and Canada before the Great Lakes are closed. This takes place about November 15. After that time shipments will be sent eastward with no delay.
 At the present time there are a few shipments coming through for local dealers. One coal merchant who has had no shipments for month, re- ceived a small consignment yesterday, while practically every coal dealer re- ceives at least two shipments every week.
