and classes will be held daily except
Saturday and Sunday from 1880 to $3.50

ped into Mexico for resale and con-
sumption. The label on cans Of con-
densed milk offered to the Mexicans
read Henri Nestle, Vesey, Switzer-
land, Wholesale Dept. 6 & 8 Eastcheap,

This is the first order Of the kind
issued under the Webb-P omerene ex-
port trade act. The fact that a big
American firm was trying to. conceal
from the Mexican consumer the fact
of the American origin of the goods
is eloquent Of the regard held by Next
cans for the United States just now
Whether the owners Of this concern
had a special anxiety, due to any con-
nection with the League for the Pro-
lection of American Rights In Mexico,
is not evident.

acter or location, but it is expected
that the study will reveal the manner
and places in which the Salvation
Army may make its work more eff
cient.
MI. Chilcote emphasized the point
that care was to be taken, to see that
the Army did not duplicate the work
now being done by similar agencies,
but he declared his belief that it had
always covered a field not reached by
any other organization. The formation
Of a strong board here, it is felt, will
give double assurance against any du-
plication Of effort. ],
The next meeting Of the board will
be held Aug. 10. at which time a re-
port of the county will be ready and
a full attendance Of the board is
urged.

Immediately after the appearance Of

drowned by a deluge of questions

why they can't get some such ever
lasting service from their batteries.
"As a matter Of fact, | don't know
why they cant-if they will real

COULDN'T RAISE .
HER HAND TO FACE
ST. PAUL WOMAN SUFFERED
FOUR YEARS. DELIGHTED
OVER TANLAC

IF l could speak with everybody
personally who has rheumatism and
stomach trouble I would advise them
to try Tanlac, for ! am just delighted
ut the good it has done me since I
began taking it," said Mrs. j. w.
Graham, Of 1478 Wesley Avenue, st.
Paul, MINI. recently.
During the past four years I've
had my share of suffering and l had
gotten so bad off I was beginning to
wonder how it was all going to end.
I had rheumatism so bad in my left
arm l was unable to raise my hand
to my face and I had sharp pains
across my back nearly all the time. I
suffered with indigestion after every
meal and everything I ate turned to
gas and made breathing difficult. My
heart palpitated so bad at times I
thought I had heart trouble and there
was a constant burning in my stom-
ach. I suffered continually from con-
stipation and was subject to frequent
spells of headaches and dizziness, I
was badly run down and had a tired
worn out feeling all the time.
$50 many people had been taking
Tanlac and it did them Sc much good
that I got a bottle and began taking
it myself. In no time I could tell it
was just the medicine I had been
looking for because my troubles be-
gan to leave me and my appetite re-
turned. From then on my improve
ment was rapid and now I am free
from the rheumatism altogether and
have as good use of my arm and hand
as ever before. My appetite is so fine
that I am hungry all the time and ev-
erything I eat agrees with me per-
fectly. I am relieved of constipation
and am no longer troubled with head
aches and dizzy spells. I am enjoying
lust splendid health and / have moth
ing but the highest praise for Tanlac:"
