is highly esteemed in loss OF ap-
petite during cOnvalescence from
acute diseases.
There are certain other elements
in Tanlac which. BECAUSE of their
influence upon the appetite, diges-
ton, assimilation and elimination,
improve the nutrition and vital ac-
tivity of the tissues and more i'm
portant organs Of the body. and
produce that state of general ton
icity which is called health.
The United States DispensatOry
makes the following comment re-
garding another ingredient: ut
may be used in all cases Of pure
debility of the digestive organs or
where a general tonic impression
is required. Dyspepsia, atomic
govt, hysteria and intermittent fever
are among the many affections in
which it has proven useful"
There are certain other ingred-
tents described in the Dispensatory
and in other standard medical text
books as having beneficial action
upon the organs of secretion. whose
proper functioning results in the
publication Of the blood streams
passing through them. In this
manner Objectionable and poison
Gus ingredients the blood are re-
moved and the entire system invig-
GRATED and vitalized.
Tanlac was designed primarily
for the correction Of disorders OF
the stomach, liver and bowels. AT
the same time, however, it is a pow
erful reconstructive tonic and body
builder, for it naturally follows
that any medicine that brings about
proper assimilation of the food and
thorough elimination of the waste
products must, therefore, nave a
far-reaching and most beneficial
effect upon the entire system.
Although Tanlac's claims for su.
premacy are abundantly supported
by the worlds leading authorities
it is the people themselves who
have really made 'Tanlac what it is
Millions upon millions have used i,
with gratifying results, and have
told other millions what it has done
for them. That is why. Tanlac has
become the real sensation of tn,
drug trade in this country and Can.

at the bottom of the hill and the
front end of the truck had run off
the bridge. leaving the machine sus-

that it would have turned turtle

Loss of Mounts i'm War Said
to Handicap English i'll
Staging q Comeback

The year 1921 will see the rasump-
tion Of international polo contests. 1t
is not likely that the caliber of play
will be on a par with that of the pre-
war period, inasmuch az England has
lost most Of her good mounts. How
ever. it is said the British haye al
ready assembled formidable outfit to
meet the Americans, and that they have
an equal chance of coming off victori-
Gus this year.
Those who will represent the United
States are already in England. Some
Of the players, including young Thomas
Hitchcock jr., have been on the ground
practicing for the last two months.
Louis Stoddand, Earl W. Hopping and
j. Watson Webb sailed last week to
prepare for the coming matches.
The makeup of the American team
will not be definitely known probably
until shortly before the contests 1t is
expected, however, that the lineup will
contain the names Of Devereux Mil
burn, Thomas Hitchcock, ]. Watson
NebAa and Charles T. Rumsey. This
Quartet is rated as one Of the cleverest
that ever played the game.
Stoddard and Hopping, both veterans,
are expected to be held in reserve and
will probably alternate with some of
the others-Webb and Rumsey, prob
ably.
According to those in the know, de-
spite the rapid progress England has
made toward rehablitatng her polo
prowess, the American team is figured
to have the edge and Will be the favor
lite in the series, which will begin the
latter part of May.

versally that Miss Bleibtrey is the
swiftest all round swimmer Of her sen
ever developed and no one questions
her ability to better materially any
record for women ever set.
Miss Helen Meany, another lassie
from the New York Women's S. A., is
held the ablest of our fair high fancy
divers. But close on her heels are
Miss Alice Lord, her teamn,ate; Miss
Elizabeth Becker, Of the Philadelphia

also, if they take up high fancy diving
will be the little Olympic stars, Aileen
Riggin and Helen Wainwright. SO far
however, they have confined their
springboard.
The foregoing are just few of the
aquatic champions who should figure
prominently. More and better con-
testants than ever before are in the
field and splendid racing should be
witnessed in every district.
