That Is What Contractor
Says After Tanlac Rid
Him of Troubles

"For the first time in nine years |
am well man and | can do twice as
much work now as | could before
took Tanlac," was che statement
made Il few days ago, by Gideon
Gaudette, the well-known shoemaker
living at 1913 Winter Street Man
chester, N. H.
Il had been bothered with stomach
trouble so much that for years and
years | was not able to sit down and
eat a good meal and enjoy it. My
appetite had gotten down TO where

LAY, and even then | had to some
. Zines force myself to eat, had con-
slant pains in my stomach and |
would bloat all up with gas and have
a heavy, full feeling for hours after
wards. But my worst trouble was
from headaches. Why, at times
there were such awful pains in my
head | thought they would drive me
frantic. These spells got to coming

it was to ever feel good, in fact |

self playing out altogether.
"But my relief has come at last,
thanks to Tanlac. A friend of mine
advised me to try it and while | have
taken only three bottles | am already
feeling like my old-time self again:
Tanlac went right to the spot and
and relieved those headaches in just
a few days and now | am never
troubled with them in the least. My
stomach is in the finest kind of shape
and it makes no difference at all

nothing else did and | can certainly
recommend it, because | believe 1t
will help anybody who gives it far

pure water is the result.
A fve-gallon kerosene can makes an
admirable boiler. Punch a very small
hole through the filler cap TO allow for
evaporation. Some steam will escono
but will not interfere with the opera
ton. Bend a spiral coil out of abatsr
ten feet of one-half-inch copper tubing
so it will fit easily into common
wooden water bucket.
Bore large hole in the side of the
bucket near the bottom and fit II
wooden stopper to it. The lower end
of the coil passes through n snug
fitting hole in this stopper and turns
downward to discharge its contents.
BY painting the part of the tubing
inclosed by the stopper and the out
side of the stopper itself with roofing
paint and then forcing both in place
Il tight joint may be made.
Connect the upper end of the coil
and the spout on the boiler with a
piece of steam hose or heavy rubber
tubing. Wire on each end to make
steani-tight.
Provide running cold water for the
bucket and pierce the side above the
dop coil for an overflow. By regulat-
ing the flow of water in the bucket the
level can be kept above the coils
without overfowing.. But be sure to
keep enough running in so the contents
will not become warm. s5
Fill the boiler th1ee-quarters f,dll
and boil it just hard enough to THROW
off sufficient steam without CREATING

steam, which will quickly co,derse as
it passes down the, colby COTS and will

GASOLINE PUMPS GIVING SHORT
MEASURE

Discovery that the gasoline pumps
at only two filling stations in the
city, those of the Standard Oil Co.
and the Sinclair Oil Co. were giving
correct measure, was made by an in
spector from the Office of the state
sealer of weights and measures who
made, the rounds of the stations
few days ago.
In all instances where the measure
was found to be short the inspec-
tors ordered no more gasoline be sold
unless it was first pumped into
tested five gallon can and then poured
into the automobile tank. He re-
fused to permit one dealer to sell
any more gasoline under any circum-
stances. Two dealers were ordered
to put in new pumps.
The inspector also ordered the
dealers to equip their pumps with a
dial or indicator in plain view of the
buyer, to enable the latter to tell
whether he was getting all the gaso-
line he paid for. This is required
under the state law, he said.
