Tanlac is grand medicine. and think every suffering woman ought to know about it,' was the statement made recently by Mrs. Aurore Barretfe. at her residence, 13S Second Street, Manchester. New Hampshire. Mrs. Barrette is well known and highly respected resident s that city.
 I have not felt at all we'll for the past year or more" she continued, q haven't been sick enough to be in bed, but I was far from being a we'll woman At times thought I had kidney trouble, for I suffered almost constantly from severe pains across my back, just over the kid neys. Whenever I tried to do any house. work at all that dull pain would be there, and if l attempted to stoop over it just felt as though my back would break. I would have to sit down and rest several times a day and I felt tired all the time.
 vous, so that I rarely ever slept we'll at night, and every now and then I would jump in my sleep, as if in fright, and my condition was really becoming se- rious.
 "Only two bottles of Tanlac have brought about a wonderful change in my condition. In fact, the results I have received from this medicine have really surprised me. Those terrible pains sa my back which used to trouble me every day have almost disappeared, and I am going to keep on taking Tanlac until they leave me entirely.

PARAGUAY OFFERS
 GREAT OPPORTUNITY
Rv A..nnIat.a pr...


 Buenos Aires, March 17.-Paraguay Is a land of wonderful opportunity for North Americans. says W. l.. Schurz, United States trade commissioner. who has just completed seven-months investigation of it's resources Ten million dollars in American money has thus far ben in vested in the little republic, but in the opinion of MT. Schurz, millions more of American capital would find profitable return there,
 Nearly the size of the state of Missouri and with less than 100000 inhabitants Paraguay has untouched resources of amazing variety and possibilities, Mir. Schurz told correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press.
 Over half the country is forested with the finest hardwoods in the world.'' he said. Its soil and climate are capable of raising anything under tne sun, includ- ing wheat and bananas. Experiments have proved that more cotton to the ae.re can be raised on Paraguayan soil than on any other soil where cotton is culti- vated at present. It is good for tobacco and sugar. It is good Tor anything. Oranges in Paraguay grow wild. You would not believe that only one out of oSSly 1VV oraHSeS produced III Paraguay ever is eaten. But it is so. Billions of oranges lie on the ground and rot
 "There are. deposits of manganese and iron of unknown extent that have not been worked since the Paraguayan war ended in 1870. It is waiting for a rail- road to be built to it. There is also copper.
 "The American investments in Para quay at present are in cattle, meat pack ing plants and quebracho. There are less than 100 Americans in the whole coun- try. They are popular with the natives, who think a lot of the United States"

 CIRCUS NOW TRAVELS ON FLEET OF TRUCKS

Trucks vs railroads, trucks win. hands down." is the way William Todd. proprietor of Todd's Travelling Tented Circus and Vaudeville aggregation, puts 1t. in writing to w S Boyd, distributor of Republic trucks in Raleigh. N. c.
 Mir Todd says that motor trucks afford him very great advantage in the saw ing of time and labor Now, with tie use of motor trucks, these items are only about one-third of what they used to be when he moved his circus and parapher- Ealia by train.
 Instead of loading the tents and other properties on wagons, then transferring the into a train, and at destination M loading from train to wagons and ag.<n unloading at the show grounds. all MT. Todd does now is load his fleet of Repub- lie motor trucks, drive to the next ex- hibition ground unload without any transferring and prepare for the show a opening.
 Unlike most show troupes, Todd's Cir GUS has no serious difficulties by way of transportation. Indeed, through the iu- stallation of fleet of Republic trucks the circus lays out it's own time tables and is quite independent of railroads. It is not vexed by the usual delays waiting for trains and its movements are never impeded by wresks r-ather rail- road accidents.

German Music Returns

London, March 2s.-German music is re- turning to England without arousing pro- test or hostility.

Some members of the audience left the hall when it began, but there was no ether manifestation of disapproval.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By c. N. Lurie
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"AIN'T."

"AIN'T."
TN THESE articles, some OF the more
i common errors in speech and writ
ing are pointed out Careful study of
these short lessons. with the use Of a
standard grammar, will assist the
reader in acquiring the habit of speak
ing and writing correctly.
One of the most common errors Is
the use of "ain't" This word Il
combination of the verb 'am" and the
adyerb, mot" or of the verb "are" and
the adverb mot" Very many persons
say "he amt" "she amt" or Il ain't,"
but few, If any, Of them would say "he
am not" or "he are not" Indeed, while
the use of "ain't" with Il" or I'VE" or
"you" or "they" or plural nouns Is,
strictly speaking, grammatically cor,
rect, the use of "ain't" is certainly in
elegant and is condemned by many
authorities on English grammar. IL
should disappear altogether from the
language, in spite of its long history.
Correct usage is: 81 am not" or I'm
not" "he, she or it is not, or isn't;
1--WE, you, they are not"
