constipation and headaches and
frequently had bilious attacks and
such bad dizzy spells l could hard

severe pains across the small of
my back and suffered with rheuma-
tism in my shoulders SO bad
could scarcely raise my hands high
enough to comb my hair
"All my efforts to find relief
failed until I began taking Tanlac.
The first bottle gave me an appe-
tite and seven bottles have restored
me to perfect health. l eat and di-
gest anything | want, sleep like a

Nothing is to be gained by
sticking our heads in the sand and
ignoring the gravity of the present
unemployment situation Neither
do we profit by distorting the facts
and exaggerating the figures esti-
mated Here is one salient fact to
be kept in mind-probably not more
than a third of these 5,735 900 are
the principal bread winners of the
family
Bread Winners Still Work.
Taking all the families of the
United States there are, on the
average, over two bread winners to
every family. If one of these bread
winners is unemployed, 1t seriously
cripples, but it does not necessarily
impoverish the family. Mind you, l
am not saying that there is not a.
this time considerable actual suf-
fering among our people, nor that
this winter may not bring more SUI
fering unless something intelligent
and effective is done TO relieve the
situation. l am simply calling at
tention to the fact that while unem-
ployment today is a grave matter
there are, nevertheless, about ten
or twelve millions of our people at
work And comparatively few
families have had the only bread
winners put out of job.
