who was very delicate, is now In fine,
robust health. The statements made
by their parents are as follows:
Mr.. A. M. Blair, residing at 20 At
wood street, Providence, r. l., said !:
1--WE are just so happy over the
change Tanlac has made in our little
girl that we can't do or say enough
to show our appreciation. She had
lost nearly 20 pounds in weight and
looked so frail and weak that her
mother and l were both almost wor-
ried sick over her condition. Since
taking Tanlac, she has already gained
10 pounds, her color is better than 1t
ever has been and she looks and acts
like a different girl"
Mrs. Catherine McCabe, Ala Dick

flu left my little Regina in such a
bad condition that l have no idea she
would be with me now If 1t hadn't
been for Tanlac 1t Is a mystery to
me how she lived on the little she
was eating and was so lfeless she
never even cared to play with the
dolls and toys she got at Christmas.

NEW WAY TO GET HEAT

Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash ington, tells good story about man from Texas who was touring the Northwest last winter. One bitterly hotel where the proprietor was not overly generous in matter of fuel. He seemed to take the position that when his guests crawled into bed and yanked the covering up over their heads they would soon go to sleep and forget all about the weather. Most of them did-but not the Texan. He was not accustomed to cold weather, and after shivering for ten or fifteen minutes crawled out and added his overcoat and all of his other clothes to the supply of bedding and tried it again. The wind grew louder and louder and the frosty air felt as though it came direct from the vi cinity of the North Pole. He lay there and shivered wondering what on earth was to be done. He knew that sleep was impossible and even feared that he might freeze to death before morn ing. Suddenly he hoped out of bed, and wrapping a blanket around his shivering shoulders went out into the hallway and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Fire, fire, fire" In few mo- ments the hotel was in turmoil. The proprietor, arrayed in nothing but his nightshirt, rushed up to the Texan and in frightened voice asked, "Where is the fire" With a saintly smile on his face, the Texan replied, "That's what I am trying to find" The host took the hint and after mumbling bit to himself, built as fine fire as ever reddened a stove. The Texan slept like a bird until almost noon the next day.
