Dr. Kress says cigarette smoke acts powerfully on lung tissue and induces pulmonary tuberculosis, while it causes permanent degener- alton of the cells of the nervous sys- tenn, including those of the brain, and thus weakens the mental facul- ties.
 Dr keelev says tobacco enfeebles digestion and lays the foundation for nearly every nervous disorder now common to the American people. It nrod"cee color blindness, epilepsy, bronchitis, rheumatism and asthma. dyspepsia and catarrh, tobacco heart and cancer of the stomach.
 Dr Sollv, surgeon of St. Thomas Hospital, and expert in disease of the brain and nervous system, says: {: Fl know of no single vice which does so much harm as smoking.

1 0S ANGELES WOMAN
 GRATEFUL TO TANlAC
Mrs M. E. Proctor Says Her Complete Recovery After So Many Years of Suffering
 Seems Too Good to be True Was Invalid for Years.

q am so grateful for what Tanlac has done for me that l want to tell the whole world about it," said Mrs. M. E. Proctor, of TIT West Fifth St., Los Angeles, Cal, when speaking Of the splendid results she had obtained from the medicine. ITO think that I should have suffered for so many years, and spent hundreds of dollars in vain efforts to get relief and then find complete relief after taking on- ly four bottles of Tanlac, seems too good to be true"
 "Yes, indeed, for years and years I suffered terribly from stomach trouble. Everything ate seemed to form gas and so affected my heart and breathing that would have pal pitation and would turn purple in the face in my efforts to get my breath. These attacks caused me intense suf- ferjng and were so bad that l was frequently confined to my bed and would have to be attended by some member of the family for fear should succumb during one of the attacks.
 q got awfully thin and was so weak that I had to give up all house hold duties. I often went for two wekes at time without getting a good nights sleep and as a conse- quence became very nervous and low spirited. In fact, l was confirmed invalid and my friends did not expect me to live very long.
 q sat reading the paper one even ing when my eyes caught the state ment of lady who had suffered with similar trouble to my own and tell ing how she had been wonderfully helped by Tanlac. l sent for a bot tie and started taking it and the re. suits have been most surprising.
 My appetite is splendid now and

No More Worries Over
 Excessive Coal Bills

It is not generally known that even the small coal consumer can have his coal ehinned direct from the mines. thus savinp the profits that other wise would go to wholesaler and re- tail dealer, besides saving hauling expense. Of course, big manufac- turers and other large consumers have always bought this way. but the man who buys only enough for his household is now in position to take advantage of the same purchas- ing privileges. The well-known BERNICE COAL CO.,. $50 Como Building, Chicago, is doing an enor- nous business in supplying small cousumers-as we'll as the big ones with all grades of hard and soft coal at mine prices.
 That these customers are hiphlv pleased is evidenced by the letters they write after receiving and trv. ing their coal. The following arc tracts from several such letters Have found your coal entirely sat;s. factory and your dealings courteous and fair. l shall continue to buv my coal from you."-Ed G, Gerka Burlington. Ia. "More than pleased with it, Please quote me prices or same coal for December."- Churchman. Alexandria, Ind. "Wel pleased with it. Expect to buy mort from Fritz Bros., Pompeii Mich.

Cider May Make
 sMOOnshiners' of
 Kentucky Farmers

Louisville, Ky, April 24-Farmers in Kentucky who have been accus- toned to quenching their thirst with hard cider may be classed as moon sinners" under the Mcclellan Law which goes into effect on July 1 Under the statewide dry amend ment adopted by the people last fall. any person having a beverage con- taining more than one-half of one per cent alcohol, including cider or home made wine, on their premises, may be haled into court to show whether they manufactured it with out permit.
 Kentucky in thus assuming "con- currant jurisdiction" with the gov ernment of the United States in en- forcing prohibition puts more teeth into the Volstead Enforcement Act and makes every peace officer in the state responsible for keeping the commonwealth "bone dry"
 Thirty-four other states and the District of Columbia have state law enforcement measures as follows:
 <AidUaHies <AlhetHodo, OoAOAouO, DCi aware. Florida, Georgia, Idaho. Illi- nois, Indiana. Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi Montana, Nebraska, Neva- da, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vir- ginia. Washington. West Virginia and Wyoming. Ohio has not adopted a complete enforcement code, three codes having been passed by the legislature and held up by the popu- lar referendum.
 Eleven states which so far have not passed law enforcement codes are: Massachusetts, Rhode Island Connecticut, Vermont, New York New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania Louisiana and Wisconsin. Three of the II, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Wisconsin, have adopted beer bills The Wisconsin legislature, in enact ing a two and one half per cent law provided that if the United States Supreme Court sustains the Volstead Act, the statute shall not go into ef- feet Rhode Island will license places selling beverages containing not more than four per cent of alcohol by

weight on the ground that it is non- intoxicating. New Jersey in legal izing the manufacture, sale and transportation of three and onehaif per cent, beer awaits the formal de- claration of peace and the end of war prohibition.
 Maryland wet legislators proposed three and one-half per cent beer bill which was passed by the House but defeated in the Senate. A three and one-half per cent bill is now pending in the Massachusetts and New York legislatures. Delaware is considering an amendment to the state prohibition code providing for the sale of liquor for medicinal pur- poses" in harmony with the federal code. The drys oppose it or the ground that it nullifies much of the state enforcement law.

Today light car advantages challenge
attention, imperatively. They were never
so wanted.
Mere bulk and weight are no longer
necessary to finest car quality.
Essex success proves that. Consider
its unrivalled endurance feat Of travelling
3O37 miles IN so hours. Marx its world
sales record of more than 100000
paid for 1000 cars IN its first year. And
note how many who formerly bought big,
costly cars, now own an Essex.
They find IN It all the fine performance,
speed, power and reliability, for which
they paid big premiums, In their former
large cars.
Moreover they find such exclusive light
car benefits as economy, nimbleness and
handling ease.
