WELL AND HAPPY
Mrs. Bellirive Tells a
Remarkable Story
Suffered For Fourteen Years
and Says Nothing But Tan
lac Restored Her Health.

"Tanlac has overcome my fourteen
years Of troubles and am now a
well and happy woman was the
statement made recently by Mrs.
Mary Bellirive of 72 Mechanic ST.,
Manchester, n. H.
TT just seemed that nothing would
do me any good and / kept growing
worse and worse until I became a
complete wreck almost" Mrs. Belli-
rive continued. Il had to be ex-
! tremely careful about what ate and
my appetite was so poor that l had
to force down the little l did take.
After every meal had awful pains in
my stomach and bloated up terribly
with gas. Sometimes the cramps
and pains were so severe I could not
and lie down or else would fall over
on the floor. had dreadful headaches
and was so nervous that the noise of
the children would nearly run me
distracted. My sleep was broken as I
would wake up four or five times
every night, and when morning came
! felt as tired as if had not been to
bed at all. AS look back over my
, condition 1t is wonder to me how
held out as long as did.
Il am certainly glad gave Tanlac
trial for ] honestly believe it has
given me new lease on life. 1t
seems like a dream that after all
these years I am now in perfect
health. / am eating three big meals
every day now and don't suffer one
bit afterwards. The gas has stopped
forming on my stomach and the
cramps and pains have all disap-
peared. Headaches are thing of
the past and my nerves are as steady
as can be. l sleep fine at night and
when morning comes l get up so
rested and refreshed that my house,
work is mere play. / feel better and
stronger than have in years and
Tanlac deserves credit for it ALL"
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow
ditch-Webster Co., and the leading
druggist in every city and town.

The brutality of Gcrmany's mental
attitude toward the war, her fixed be-
lief in the corruptihility of other peo-
pie, her confidence in setting her en-
emies at odds we attributed to a sort
of pis-hccdcd short -sightedness. to a
fat-witted mentality. In the white
heat of conflict her theories were
disproved, jeaiousics were thrust in

Editorial Comment
Dumping Them out to Die
Detroit Free Press }

NASSAoAS &C L ASSEsJ
The action of the War department
ordering all tubercular soldiers who
are not making satisfactory progress
after Il months treatment discharg-
ed from hospital is beyond under
standing. According to the American
Legion, which has lodged a protest,
this order means that 10000 patients
are to be scattered over the country
to shift for themselves and spread
infection and death among the civil
ian population.
The public health service will look
after these patients, says the War
department. but it is notorious
fact. says the Legion, tina. the pub
lie health service cannot provide beds
enough to take care of them. Many,
. if not most, will be sent back to
their homes to be a burden upon fam
lilies who have been deprived of their
support while they were away fight
ing the battles Of their country.
These families will hardly be in po-
sition to give the sick men the care.
the special food and fresh air con-
sumptives require.
From a purely selfish standpoint.
! to put 1t on the lowest grounds. the
war department ought - maintain
its hospitals for the benefit of the
men who have sacrificed their health
in its service. This would be the
most economical plan in the long
run. both as regards money and pub
lie health. 1t would be q standing
disgrace TO the United States if it
should shirk its duty to men who
went abroad ready to sacrifice life
or limb for the cause of humanity,
and who came back broken in health
and unable to provide for themselves.
To cast them out upon the arity of
the world. as the war department
proposes to do. would be crime.

Mans Kindness to Animal Is

ATTACKED BY MATE
Attendant Was Cleaning Cage When Female Grizzly Pounced Upon
 him-MaIe Fights Frenzied Mate Until Help Comes.

St. Louis. Mo.-Louis Spero, forty nine years old, 44OO Enrght avenue, bearkeeper at the zoo. Forest Park, owes his life to the practically human and humane assistance of the male grizzly bear, who intervened and saved htm >when he was ferociously attack ed by the female grizzly at the zoo.
 Spero got long. deep gash in his right arm, similar wound on his right thigh, and several minor scratches to attest that Kipling knew Of what he spoke when he wrote, "The female of the species is more deadly than the male"
 The female grizzly made her unex- pected attack on Spero as he was clean ing the grizzly cage The attendant has been doing this work for many years, and always considered the bears safe-indeed, believed that they well comed his presence in their cage.
 Blow From Behind.
 de was not paying any attention to the bears when he was struck a ter rible blow from behind and thrown flat. He found the female bear standing over him, growing fercely and evi- denty iii a terrible temper. There were several sght-seers about the cage at the time. These ran mortified, calling for assistance. Spero was not knocked unconscious, and retained presence of mind to lie still.
 At this crisis the male bear inter- vened. He strOde across the prostrate body of the keeper and shoudered the female away. His interference was resented with fierce groWls, slaps and bites, but he persisted, and by his superior strength pushed the female far enough away to save Spero from her claws.
 The cries of the keeper and of the spectators brought Edward Hampden and William Basten, woodchoppers. who were working close by, to Spero's rescue. The wOodmen poked the female

 M. c. Angermeyer, superintendent o1 the zoo, said Spero was known for his patience with and kindness to animals which explained the grateful interven tion of the male grizzly in his behalf The grizzly, Angermeyer says, is al most human in his ability to think o1 to reason.
 Smartest of Carnivora.
 Observers of animals give the grizzly credit for being by all odds the smart est of the carnivora. The pair at the Forest park zoo are said to be fine specimens of their species. The female has been we'll thought of by attendants and was regarded as amiable.
 The temper of all wild animals Leld in captivity is testy, Angermeyer said They will be perfectly safe and affec tionate for long periods. often fo1 years, and will then attack a favorite keeper without moments notice. As bears are hibernating, or winter sleep. Ing, animals in their natural habitat Angermeyer said, they were subject t fits of i'll temper during the winter months.
