She Couldn' Walk
Across the Room

Il am convinced I wouldn't be

Tanlac," said Mrs. Eliza Scott,
225 Hall ST., Portland, Or.
MY main trouble was rheu-
matism and l don't believe any
body ever suffered any more from
1t than I did. There were times
when couldn't walk across the
room and 1t hurt me so much to
move ! couldn't even turn over
in bed without screaming. spent
most Of my time In bed and In my
chair, and nobody will ever know
what l suffered, as I can't de-
scribe 1t. l kept falling off in
weight until I just gave up In
despair, thinking the end was not
far off.
TITS just wonderful the way
Tanlac rid me Of all my troubles.
My rheumatism is completely gone
and the other day l walked down

twenty blocks, and never felt

ice cream is the latest.
1t is being sold in Greater Bcs-
ton by many ice cream manufac-
turers, according to Eugene C.
Huffman, chairman Of the state
commission on necessaries of life.
In other words, frozen air" is be-
ing sold to Bostonians in place OF
ice cream. This stretched" ice
cream is made possible by a new
whipping process. BY means of
TINS process nineteen gallons Of
ice cream" are obtained from ten
gallons Of cream preparations.
Formerly only fourteen to fifteen
gallons of "ice cream were se-
cured from ten gallons. Because
OF this new whipping process the
ten gallons are stretched" to
nineteen, and the dealer is able to
get much more money for the fin
ished product. This means that
the public pays the extra amount.

Buying Homes On
Strength Of Loan

Barometric of what the demand
for medium priced homes and
small agricultural tracts it to be
when the recently enacted SOL
diers' bonus law is actually put
into operation, permitting ex-
service men to borrow up to
$4,000 for investment in homes
and other real estate. are the
deals based on the loan feature
Of the bonus law which local real
estate dealers report under way.
Many ex-service men have al
ready contracted for the proper
ties they are going to buy with
the loan money, according to the
real, estate men, and the deals
only wait the release Of the actual
money by the state to be con-
sumated.
Most of these deals are for
homes of the $4,000 to $4,000
class, but some few of them are
for small berry and orchard tracts
In few of the cases yet reported
have the purchasers sought to
make the deal on the strength OF
the loan money entirely, all MAX
ing cash payments of 500 to $500
to bind the deal until the loan
money is available. Thus the cash
payments are being brought well
above the $4,000 mark, and own
ers are assuming second mortgages
for the balances.
No less than five such deals are
already reported by one dealer,
and all Of the real estate men re-
port steadily Increasing num-
ber Of former soldiers and sailors
inouiring as to the prospects Of
being able to utilize the loans due
them.
That these men, even when they
have no funds to invest other than
the loan they will receive from the
state, will find plenty of proper
ty owners ready and willing TO
take second mortgages for the
balances over $4,000, is the opin-
ion expressed by several realtors.
They base their prediction on tsc
fact that $4,000 in cash is much
more than most sellers have been
receiving on $4,000 and $4,000
deals, and the lenient payment
features of the bonus law, which
will allow purchasers to make
substantial monthly payments on
the property in sums approximat-
Ing normal rents without over bur-
dening financial strain.
