Just week before / started taking
Tanlac l was down in bed so crippled up
with rheumatism i could not move with
out help. My son had taken Tanlac. and
it had done him a world of good. so one
day he brought home a bottle and said.
Mother, | want you to take this when
had finished that bottle, l felt like a
different woman, and by the time l had
finished my second bottle, l was out in

''Tanlac has simply done wonders for

well-known men and women who are

Continuing her wonderful statement,
Mrs. Root said, For years | suffered ter

committee is not held in the same regard
as it is in Washington, where practically
all legislation is a matter Of committee
agreement.
/ The Messenger does not wish to be
understood as throwing cold water on any
plan of improving legislative machinery,
but it feels that it is we'll to point out
that the only way the expenses of govern
ment can be lessened is by electing men
and women to go to Montpelier who are
in favor of reducing expenditures. If the
present tax burden is too high the people
have it in their HANDS to bring about a
Z change.

advocates of economy. If it is the sense
of the legislature that reductions must be
made. it matters little what machinery is
provided. If the legislature is not eco
nomically minded, all the machinery in
the world will not prevail. The people
must look to themselves, when all is said
and done, if they want reform.

1t is not so long since the possession
of a bathtub marked progress and de
termined the social standing of the pos
SCISSOR. Opulent home builders could not
think of a complete establishment with
out the installation of several baths.
The effort of the social worker has been
largely directed, in many instances, to
teaching the foreign-bOrn that the bath
tub was not a bed nor a coal bin, but in
tended for purposes of personal cleanli-
ness
Now has the tide changed. Il hope,
says the architect severely, that you
are not planning to put in any bathtubs
-insanitary things -
Not that bathing has become undesir-
able or even out of style, but that tubs
are giving place to showers. Says a
writer in Physical Culture:
When you use a tub in the best no
tells or clubs you do not know what dis
ease the last person who used the tub
may have had; nor can you be certain
that servants have thoroughly scalded
and dSinfected the tub since that Occa-
sion. You refuse to use public comb

can avoid it?
Even in your own home tub, after the
first minute or so of scrubbing, the water
is more or less dirty; whereas, If you
stand under a shower, every drop of
water that strikes you is absolutely fresh
and clean.
4 shower bath is a cheaper article to
put into building than a tub and takes
up much less room; it also requires less
care as it helms to clean itself When
you are travelling, take a hand-spray
with you.
There is much sense in this. Though
what becomes of the weary soul who
wants the refreshment to nerves and
muscles of the good, hot soak?" Per
haps the shower advocates would let him
keep his tub in peace if he but installs
a shower over it for the refreshing and
cleansing rinse.
The fact that the showers are cheaper,
and take less room, is a cheering thought
to prospective builders.

CHIMNEY CLEANING TIME

inspector. 1t is a friendly tip, and not

to explain.
1T is pretty sure to be one or the
other, a clean chimney or a fire. Now,
before cold weather sets in, is the time
to have your chimneys inspected and see
that you are all set for the winter. This
is especially true if you have been burn
ing gas Gas eats out the mortar be
tween the bricks if the chimney has not
been properly lined. Then you start a

need inspecting. An ACCUMULATION OF

Page on Advertising.
{ st. Adams MeSsenger.)

If one is on the watch for such things,
one frequently finds testimonials by sue
cessful men to their debt to advertising.
Senator Page. who has builded himself a
large fortune both in the business and po-
litical world, has this to say on this sub
ject:
I'm a great believer in advertising-in
the use Of printers ink. / did the same
in politics, and always found that it paid
If / had not advertised l would have
plodded along and eked out living instead
of a fortune.
IF you've got something to sell or are
in the market to buy. let the people know
it; and if you are a good business man
you will succeed"
There is no theory in this 1t is the es-
innate Of a highly successful business
man after years of experience. 1t is the
same story over and over again. The
man who has the goods and lets people
know he has them is the man who makes
good. Advertising is the connecting link
between the seller and the buyer and I'M
less there is this connecting link business
is more likely than not to be slim. There
are exceptions to this rule it is true but
they are few and far between.

Fish when they swim make a noise,
and this it is said can be detected by the
telephone. The Norwegian fishermen
have taken advantage of this fact to de
wise an arrangement to assist them in de-
tccting and locating fish at considerably
depths. They lower a microphone by
means of a wire from their boat into the
water. the other end of the wire being
connected with a telephone receiver on
the boat. As the latter slowly proceeds
on her course in search of haul, an OPP
orator keeps the receiver of the telephone
to his ear. and he can tell instantly when
a shoal of fish is being approached.

And that we moved it when we moved
Adown from off the mountain;

The basket everybody liked
Our little Handkerchief.
1t used to hold heaping peck
OF anything a-growing,
Like butnutS on the pasture hill,
OR green's in Gridley's moving;
When filed with cherries pinkish red
1t beat the jewel casket
OF any Gypsy queen on earth
Our little Handkerchief.
1t wasn't made of cattail stalks,
Or grass or weeping willer,
But ash. a-pounded off the log
For rim and ribs and filler:
The handle wasn't harpoon cord
Picked up around Nantasket,
But walnut wood that made it fun
To lift the little basket.
1t held jest sage enough to dry.
And plums enough for jelly
And jest what grapes we used to give
Each year to Nance MeNelly;
We never lent it out but once
The neighbors don't ask it
They knew we had an iron rule
About the Handkerchief.
How good it made tomatoes taste
To have that basket fetch 'em!
If / could see it full again
I'd have some artist sketch 'em;
Id rather own it jest as twas
