PROCLAMATION

The anniversary of the great Chi
cago fire, October 9, has come to be
generally observed throughout the
United States and Canada as "Fire
Prevention Day." the observance of
which should be the occasion for a
concerted effort to reduce the stu
pendous loss of life and property by
fire.
For the past few years fire losses
on the North American continent
have been steadily increasing until
last year they reached the $500, O0O.-
600 mark. To this loss Kansas con-
trlbuted $6,616,117, the greatest fire
loss the state has ever suffered in
single year. According to the most
conservative estimates at least sew
enty-five per cent of this appalling
loss was preventable.
Therefore: In orde2 to bring about
concerted observance of Fire Pre-
vention Day in Kansas, which occurs
This year on Sunday, i Henry J. AL
len, do hereby designate Monday,
October 10, 1921, Fire Prevention
Day, and urge that every citizen of
the state join in its observance.
Inasmuch as the ninth falls on
Sunday, I am appealing to the min
listers over the state to devote at
least few minutes Of their time. on
this day to this far-reaching sub
ject. The cooperation of the schools,
women's clubs, civic and business or
CARNATIONS throughout the state is
requested and urged in making this,
the semi-centennial anniversary of
the Chicago fire, an epoch in the an
mails of fire prevention.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I
have hereunto subscribed my name
and affixed the Great Seal of the
State of Kansas. Done at the State
Capitol in the City of Topeka, this

Years Ago by Tanlac Still

ut was five years ago that Tanlac

made by J. H. Seay, 204 North Null

farmer.
Dyspepsia was my main trouble,
she went on, land it had such a
tight hold on me never expected
to get over it. Nothing seemed to
agree with me. Why, even the light
est kind of diets, like soup and broth,
sometimes turned against me. The
gas on my stomach nearly cut my
breath off at times, and | had pains
that were just about all could stand.
Rheumatism in my feet hurt me
every step took, and some nights my
feet burned like they were on fire and
I couldn't sleep wink. My nerves
were all on edge and l had spells Of
dizziness SO often that | was uneasy
for fear I would fall. I was trembly
and shaky, and so weak and all run
down that things looked pretty
gloomy for me.
81 took notion somehow that Tan
lac might fit my case, and there was
change for the better on my very
first bottle. I took eight bottles in
all and they simply made a clean
sweep of all my troubles. Why, at
the time it was the talk of all who
knew me. I picked up eleven pounds
in weight and ever since l have en-
joyed fine health.

sound and just feel good all the time.
