that they can be repaired more cheaply
now when labor is plentiful. At the
same time idle men with families will

seem to give. me any strength at
all and | just felt weak and miser-
able all the time. Finally | got so
completely rundown | had to give
up work altogether.
Since taking a few bottles of
TanIac my troubles are completely
relieved. l can now eat anything

be given at the armory on Val
entine night by the local chapter
of the War Mothers of America

service men as a whole, and has
been doubly valuable in that it
has asked charity of no one and
has used discrimination in its
help

a good sized fund by their efforts
and intend to maintain their work
as long as there are men and boys
suffering from their sacrifices in
the war, they say. Refreshments
