"Well, friend Of mine finally got
me to try Tanlac, and it certainly has
done good job for me. My appe-

FAMOUS OLD CHURCH GONE
Flames That Consumed Historic Wash
ington Edifiee Also Destroyed
Relics That Were Priceless.

st. Pauls parish church, in Rock
Creek cemetery, the oldest church in
Washington and one of the oldest in
the United States, was recently de-
stroyed by fire. The interior of the
building, valuable memorial windows,
old relics and paintings were burned,
and the four walls of the structure,
erected in .1776, were all that was left
of the historic edffice.
Among the historic relics destroyed
by the fire was a large folio Bible,
which was contained in glass case
near the chancel. The Bible was
bought in 1927, was used for many
years and was paid for by the con-
gregation with tobacco. With the
Bible, also destroyed, were two large
folio common prayer books, the price
for which, according to records at
the church, was a quantity Of to-
bacco which was to bring not less
than I'D per pound"
The first Easter service to be held
in the present territory of the Dis
trict of Columbia took place at old
st. Paul's church, Rock Creek, in 1871.

Absence Of Disease
Isn't Health; You
Need Vitality, Energy

You may have no particular dis
ease, and yet fall far short of en-
joying real health. To be actually
healthy you must be sturdy, alert,
vigorous, a-sparkle with enthus-
iasm and the joy of living-fairly
bubbling over with vitality and
energy. Are you thus?
If you are well, yet listless and
unambitious, it is because you lack
some quality that would fill you
with vim and drive, and nine times
out of ten the sole cause of this
lack is found to be disordered, weak
blood
Wholesome blood is the very
fountain source of that energy

Remarkable Strata.

Spearman, Tex, w. Scott Haywood

salt strata was encountered at a
depth of 700 feet, and what is said
to be the most remarkable thing about
it is that no water was encountered
Neither has there been any water
found anywhere else in the well,
which is now at a depth of more
than 2,700 feet. The fact that there
is no water above the salt bed makes
the mining of the product an easy
matter, it is said.
