That Tanlac Is a wonderful med
icine for delicate children is conclu-
siyely proven by the remarkable re-
suits accomplished in the cases of the
three children shown in this picture
Little Blanche Blair, of Providence,
r. l., age 10, gained 10 pounds; Re-
gina McCabe, at right, age g. of Scran-
ton, Pa, gained Is pounds; little Rich
ard Leary, Jr., of Philadelphia, who
was very delicate, is now in fine, ro-
bust health. The statements made by
their parents are as follows:
Mr.. A. NJ. Blair, residing at 20 At
wood street, Providence r. l., said:
I'VE are just so happy over the
change Tanlac has made in our little
girl that we can't do or say enough
TO show our appreciation. She had
lost nearly 90 pounds in weight and
looked so frail and weak that her
mother and / were both almost wor-
ried sick over her condition. Since
taking Tanlac, she has already gained
10 pounds, her color is better than it
ever has been and she looks and acts
like different GIRL
Mrs. Catherine McCabe, Ala Dick
ems Ave, Scranton, Pa, said THE
'fu' left my little Regina in such a
bad condition that 7 have no idea she
would be with me now if it hadn't
been for Tanlac. It is mystery to
me how she lived on the little she
was eating and was so lifeless she
never even cared to play with the
dolls and toys she got at Christmas.
Since taking Tanlac she Is as hardy
and well as any child could be and
has gained rs pounds in weight. l
will always praise Tanlac for restor-
ing our little girls health"
Richard Leary, 2342 Palethrope St.
Philadelphia said: There is NO
doubt in my mind but that Tanlac
saved my little boys life. For two
years wouldn't have been a bit SIR

TIRE TREAD DESIGN
is VERY IMPORTANT
Has Much to Do With Ease of
Steering a Car.
Especially So on Large Machines
Where Contact With Road Surface
Is 5road--Two Styles of Tires
Complicstes Matters.

The tread design of an automobile
tire may be a matter of small conse-
quence to the driver of a small car,
but every driver of a heavy car knows
that the tread confguration has a
good deal to do with the ease with
which the car may be steered.
On the smaller cars the area of the
tread that is in contact with the road
surface is so small that an improper
design may cause little trouble. But
when a heavy car settles down on its
tires, the driver finds himself called
on for the exercise of constant atten-
tion and effort to keep the car from
sign Is improper type.
One point on which all motorists agree
is that the tires on the rear wheels
should be of good nOn-skid pattern
and that the front tires should have
tread design that will keep them run
ming ahead in a straight line with a
minimum of steering effort on the part
of the driver.
The ideal tire tread is one that can
be used with equally good results on
any wheel, either front or back. Given
such a tire a motOrist need carry
only one spare, and his car is always
evenly balanced, no matter what tire
changes he makes. But If one STYLE
tread is used on the front wheels and
another on the rear, the motorist will
usually carry two spares, one of each
type. Having two types furnishes a
further complication when it is de-
sired to shift partly-worn tires from
the Woodworking rear wheels to the
front wheels, in order to get a few
thousand miles more wear out of them
before they go to the scrap heap. The
non-skids used on the rear may not
