He Had Been skepticaI.

81 had always been rather skeptical
of the testimonials concerning the
merits of any medicine, but one day
l read the statement of man whose
symptoms seemed to be identical with
my own, and his praise of Tanlac
rang so true | decided to give it a
trial myself I bought a bottle and
its effect was almost immediate. My
nervous condition began to disappear
and began to get sleep at night. My
appetite so increased that | could
scarcely satisfy it, and I found my
self putting on weight rapidly. By
the time had taken the fourth bot
tie, the pains in my arm and shoulder
disappeared and l am feeling better
today than for long time past.
81 feel that I should be guilty of
base ingratitude if l did not write
and tell you what boon Tanlac has
been to me, and l give you this I'M
solicited testimonial to use as you
may think best, in the hope that 9th
ers may find in your wonderful medi-
cine the means to restored health and
strength"
Tanlac is sold in Indianapolis by
the Hook Drug Co. and Haag Drug

DIseoVerer Tells Druggists Not to

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this terri
bic disease left him helpless and unable
to work.
He finally decided, after years Of cease
less study, that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impur-
tiles. commonly sailed uric acid depos-
its, were dissolved in the Joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom OF rheumatism from his sys-
TEN.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took II. with what might be called
marvellous success. After years of urx-
ing he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers. Haag Drug Company has

Vicinity with the understanding that he
will freely return the purchase money TO

mo Change: IN
PRICES OF FOOD
Advances are Usual at This
Time of Year, say
Webster City Mer-
chants.
VEGETABLE SUPPLY
Less Call for Canned Fruit,
due to Several
Causes.
VEGETABLE SUPPLY

Notwithstanding that the period OF
the year is at hand when there should
be substantial increases i'll the price OF
food commodities, in the opinion OF
Webster City merchants, only sporadic
advances are reported.
1t is stated that the vegetable mar
ket is particularly susceptible to price
elevation in the. late winter months
but there appear to be no additions to
the already topheavy elevation.
The ordinary vegetables that grace
the family table are reported to he in
rather abundant supply and equal to
the demands that are made. Lessen
ing of calls for canned goods is attri-
buted to the extensive canning of many
hundreds Of households in Webster
City and the high prices of canned
goods in the fruit line.

Teachers Get jolt.

Paullina Times: The local school
board had a meeting Saturday evening
to consider the petition filed by the
teachers of the public school in which
they asked for a twenty-five per cent
raise i'm their wages, the raise to be
retroactive from the beginning OF the
present semester. The board after
considering the matter decided to re-
fuse the request. They based their ac-
ton upon the fact that the teachers
had signed their present contracts vol
unfairly and that the cost of living to-
day was not materially different from
signed their present contracts.
