IT KEPT ME- ON
The JOB STATES
SOUTH BEND man

John Duck, a pioneer of South Bend.
Ind, residing at GIG North Hill street,
who is one of the most popular figures
at the plant Of the Oliver Plow &
Implement Company where he is en-
plOyed as millwright and carpenter.
declared in a statement the other day
that had it not been for the help of
Tanlac he would have been compelled,
en- account of rheumatism, to give up
his work.
Mr.. Duck has been a resident of
South Bend for siXty-five years and
has seen the town grow from a village
OF six hundred people to flourishing
city of eighty-tive thousand population.
Day after tomorrow said Mr.,
Duck, "Pll be seventy-one years old
and l want to tell the people that it's
by the help of Tanlac that l am able
to successfully hold my place as mill
wright and carpenter here as the plant.
Two years ago I began suffering with
rheumatism in my shoulders and arms
and no doubt would be laid up today
instead of working if I had not taken
Tanlac. My arms would swell up and
ache and throb so | could hardly raise
my hands to my head. My elbows
were so stiff and achy that it was
damp or cold weather, especially, l
was almost unfit for work. Frequently
such keen cutting pains would shoot
back and forth across my shoulders
that | could hardly stand 1t.
But | never was hand to give up
or take medicine and | just kept
dragging along until my suffering got
to be so severe that | had to take
serious notice. 1t was either take
something and get rid of the rheuma-
tism or give up my job. Well, Tanlac
was the first thing came into my
mind as so many people were talking
about how it had helped them, so
got a bottle and, while it seems re-
markable, it's fact, within week S
time l hardly knew l ever had rheum-
atism. My elbows stopped swelling,
the pain, soreness and stiffness disap.
peared and I could use my arms about
as we'll as | ever could. / had never
noticed anything except rheumatism
being the matter with me, but Tanlac
has gotten my whole system in condi
ton to where l feel hundred per
cent better all over. l keep Tanlac
in my house all the time now and
never take anything else for the all
ments it's recommended for. Tanlac
saves me time, suffering and money
and I'm giving these facts in my case
| for what they may be worth to Others
who are needing such a medicine.'

Rural Route Carriers

Rural route carriers in the United States are
leaving the service at rate that is alarming Of
ficials Of the postoffice department. The reason
usually assigned for their resignation, it is re-
ported is their inability to earn living and pay
for the upkeep of their automobiles or horses.
Rural route carriers find themselves in the
predicament of teachers and ministers who are
unwilling to quit the service, yet find it impos-
sible to make ends meet with their meager sal
aries. Teachers and ministers have not resorted
to strikes to obtain improved living conditions,
but they are forsaking their callings by the
hundreds.
The rural route mail delivery has become a
public necessity. The rural communities will not
permit the government to curtail the service or
eliminate it entirely. The government will be
forced to realize its Importance by increasing the
compensation to carriers. Federal authorities
will soon report TO congress plan which will
make such salary adjustments that the rural
route system will be maintained at high eff
ciency

Flu This Year - Mlider


While we know very little more
about the flu now than we did last
year-the germ itself has never been
positively identified-still most au
thorities agree that the flu germs are
breathed in. II the system is in good
shape and the membrane or lining OF
the air passages Is in healthy cOndi-
tion-these germs are thrown off.
A good plan Is to melt little Fick's
VapoRub in a spoon night and morn
ing, and inhale the vapors, also apply
little up the nostrils several times
a day. especially just before being ex-
posed to crowds.
Treat All Colds Promptly
Above all, keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining of the air
passages and make them real breed
ing grounds for germs. Prompt use Of
Vick's VapoRub aids in preventing
colds. For head colds, sore throat or
hoarseness, rub Vick's well over the
throat and chest and cover with
warm flannel cloth For deep chest
colds, severe sore throat or bronchitis.
hot wet towels should first be applied
to the throat, chest and back between
the shoulder blades to open the pores.
Then Nick's should be rubbed in over
the parts until the skin is red-spread
on thickly and covered with two thick
nesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, so
the vapors, released by the body heat,
may be freely inhaled.
These vapors, inhaled with each
breath, carry the medication directly
to the lungs and air passages. At the
same time Vick's is absorbed thru
and stimulates the skin. thus aiding
to relieve the congestion within.
Use Of External Treatment for Colds
Increasing
Vicks NapoRub is the discovery of
q North Carolina druggist who found
how to combine In Salve form, the
standard time tested remedies, Cam
phor-Menthol - Euca lyptus-Thyme
etc.-so that when the salve is applied
to the body heat, these ingredients are
liberated in the form Of vapors.
Vick's is particularly recommended
for children's Group or colds, since it
is externally applied and therefore can
be used freely and often without the
slightest harmful effects.
The best evidence of the value Of
Eick's is the steadily increasing num-
Der of people who have been converted
to the use of this outside" treatment.
Beginning with the customers Of a
small retail drug store. the use Of
Vick's has grown-year by year-state
by state-until now more than II mil
lion jars are used annually And this
in spite Of the fact that Vick's is a
new form of treatment to many folks
in the North and West Nicks can be
had at all druggists in three sizes

1t Is Acid-Stomach That
Makes the Body SOUR"
odd and Weak

What is it that roos so many people Of their
vitality, youth and good looks-makes them all
in and decrepit years before their time? Some
say it's rheumatism that is aling them.
Others complain of chronic stomach or liver
trouble. Others are bilious. Life is burden
to multitudes of dyspeptics. Severe headache,
extreme nervousness, insomnia, mental de-
preston, meancholia, anemia, dizziness YER
tigo, heart and chest pains, constipation, etc.,
claim other multitudes.
In about nine cases out of ten ACID
STOMACH is the cause of these ailments.
The first symptoms of this condition are nearly
always Indigestion, heartburn, belching, food
repeating, painful bloat, gas, etc.
An Acid-Stomach cannot properly digest
food. Unless food is fully digested its nourish-
ing elements cannot be properly assimilated
Hence the blood becomes thin and impover-
ished.
No person, no matter how strong or robust
he or she may be, can long withstand the in
sidious, day-by-day health undermining effects
of Acid-Stomach. Even the tasteless acid that
causes acid-mouth is powerful enough to eat
through the hard enamel of the teeth and
cause them to decay. Is it any wonder, then,

Accidents in Indiana

Indiana workrnen grew careless during July,
August and September of last year, says Thomas
Roberts, member of the industrial board of Ind
lama. Accidents increased 70 per cent in 400
shops, employing $4,000 men, over the number
of accidents in the previous three months, al
though the number of employees increased only
6 per cent.
Twenty-four per cent of all the accidents were
injuries to the eyes. Such accidents, Mr.. Rob-
crts pointed out, could be obviated if the en-
ployes wore goggles and the employers insisted
upon their use. He also showed that % per cent
of all accidents were caused by workmen operat-
ing machines in such fashion that accidents re-
suited. Carelessness and lack of understanding
o. the proper methods of handling the machines
were assigned as reasons for this percentage
