Dollars ancfCents.

Counting it only in dollars and
cents. how much did that last cold
cost you? A man may not always
stop work when be has cold, but
perhaps it would be better if he did.
1t takes about ten days to get com
pletely rid of a cold under the usual
treatment. That time can be much
shortened by taking Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and proper care of
yourself, in fact, a bottle of this re
medy in the house is a mighty good
investment during the winter and
spring months.

need not all be paid at once, but monthly.
This is not assuming a permanent charity
but affording temporary relief help.
These people will be transferred from
the places to which they were driven,
back to their homes and given sustenance
to keep them alive until they Can grow
crops, etc, upon their own fertile lands.
We trust that your organization will
give this great problem serious considera-

whole or as individuals take at least one
of these orphans?
Trusting that you will give this COM

and that we may near from you favor
ably in the near future, we are in the

SAVED HER LIFE
SAYS POLICEMAN.
Wife Was So Run Down She Lost
Fifty Pounds Restored By
Ianlac.

Il doubt if my wife would be alive
today if it had not been for Tanlac, 4"
said Police Officer Joe Johnston who
for nearly twenty years has been in
charge of the police emergency am
bulance of Milwaukee, Wis Mrs
Johnston lost fifty pounds and was
so weak she had not been to town in
over year" he continued, but since
taking Tanlac her health is fine
Policeman Johnston is a familiar
figure to nearly everyone in Milwau-
kee. He is rounding out his thirty
fourth year of service on the force
and for the past sixteen years has res
sided at TAB Oakland Ave.
Two years ago my wife had q bad
attack of the grippe" he continued.
"She just kept on going down hill in
spite Of everything we could do and
she gotso weak and nervous she would
shake like a leaf when she exerted
herself. She couldn t work more than
ten minutes at q time without stopp-
ing to rest. Her digestion was so bad
she could not eat hardly anything at
all. She was nearly always con-
stipated and had the headache practic-
ally all the time, too, and frequently
the headaches would be so bad she
would have to 60 to bed. At night
she was so nervous she couldn't rest
and would have to get up and walk
the floor to get her nerves settled.
We tried everything we could think
of to build her up but nothing did
any good; she kept on losing what
little strength she had left.
Zone day saw a statement. in the
paper by a follow officer about how
much good Tanlac had done him and
| got some of the medicine for my
wife and it beat anything ever saw
the way she began TO improve. Her
appetite came back within few DAYS
aud she could eat anything she want
ed without any bad after effects. The
headaches and nervousness disappear
ed and she sleeps fine every night.
She took six bottles of Tanlac and
gained so much in weightand strength
she Low does all the homework with
out a bit of trouble and she looks and
feels like different woman. 1t is
worth hundred dollars just to see
how she enjoys coming down town
again.
AS said before l believe Tanlac
saved her life and l will be glad to
verify this statement to any one who
calls on mt"
Tanlac is sold in Hurley at Whit
man Pharmacy.

In central Europe, there is a small
nation which for many, many years has
been struggling for democratic govern
ment. This is practically the only Anglo
Saxon race in central Europe, and the
early adoption of the creed of Christianity
has been the cause of untold suffering,
deprivation, miseries and blood shed on
the part Of these people who in their
aims. aspirations and keen intellect have
often been referred to as the America of
central Europe.
The unspeakable Turks and kindred
Mohammedans lave for centuries OPP
pressed this little nation and her people,
inflicung great cfuelties and massacres
until at the present time they are dying
at the rate of about one hundred fifty
per day from exposure and starvation.
Nearly a half million people mostly
women and children are practically with
out food or shelter. Ragged and starv-
ing, they appeal to America for aid.

ponds are looking to America as their
