sons, the patient becomes thin and
pale and in time various compli-
cations are apt to result.
Tanlac is a powerful reconstruc-
tive tonic and quickly overcomes
this condition by aiding Nature to
eliminate the impurities from the
system in a natural way and en-
able the vital organs to properly
perform their functions. That is
why it is called Natures Medicine.
In fact, there is not a single por-
ton of the body that is not benefit
ed by the helpful action of Tanlac,
which begins its work by stimu-
lating the digestive and aSsimila-
tive organs, thereby enriching the
blood and invigorating the entire
system. Next, it enables the weak,
wornout stomach to thoroughly di-
gest its food and convert the nour-
ishing elements into bone, blood
and muscles. The results is you
feel strong, sturdy and we'll with
the proper amount of flesh, as Ma
ture intended.
Tanlac is sold in Rock Island by
the C. E. Schlegel Drug Store and
by good druggists everywhere

Millions of people have not only
been relieved of the most obstinate
forms of dyspepsia and indigestion
by Tanlac after other remedies have
failed, but large numbers of them
have reported a remarkable and
rapid increase in weight and a re-
turn to normal health and strength
by its users.
In fact, so phenomenal have been
the gains in weight by thin, fraIl
people through the use of Tanlac
that this remarkable preparation is
now being proclaimed everywhere
as the Worlds Greatest Tonic.
The food people eat does them
absolutely no good unless they di-
gest it properly. When you suffer
from indigestion and other forms
of stomach trouble, the food does
you harm instead OF good, because
food which is not digested stays
in the stomach and ferments. caus-
ing pains, swelling, gas on stomach,

Rent Board Receives Many
Complaints Regarding Di-
lapidated Property.

Washington landlords are allowing
their rental properties to become di'
lapidated through negleCting repairs,
according to complaints received
daily by the District Rent Commits
sion.
A great majority of the cases are
based on complaints to the effect
that District homes are allowed to
fall into various states OF decay be
cause landlords are restrained from
raising rents.
According to Miss Helen Rose
brook. chief clerk of the rent board,
the tenants believe this to be q spite
measure to force higher rents in
Washington.
The commission, II was pointed
out, is powerless in many instances
to do anything else but grant a fur.
ther reduction of rent on account OF
the condition of the property con.
cerned.
The rent law cannot touch land
lords who employ the reported coer.
cion to bring about increased rents.
as no provision for keeping rental
property in repair Is made. Such
conditions can only be rcmcdied
through the Intervention OF the build
ing inspectors office or tho health
department, according TO the nature
of the case.
