You see, my dears," said Mr.,
Peerabout, the Man-in-the -Moon,
as, he leaned back comfortably in
his rickety old chair and stroked
his beard, 1'the moon is different
from the earth
1.-The things you value on earth
we moon-people don't care about
at all, and the things you throw
away down there we prize highly.
Take our cities, for instance,
that you think are so wonderful,
one built of carved ice-blocks, an
other of white marble inlaid with
jewels, and one of ivory and pearl.
They might be called hand
some on the earth. but up here
they are slums where the poorest
people live People who have
nothing to eat but roasts and cake
and fruit and fine sauces, and
nothing to wear but velvets and
satins and embroideries and laces
and handsome furs live in these
cities.

do to help others is to get them
to take Tanlac," declares Mrs

For five years I suffered the
worst sort of indigestion and fell
off to only 1O7 pounds. had the
poorest appetite and dreaded to
eat because 1 could hardly keep
a thing down. Gas on my stom-

for breath. There was terrible
burning in my throat and keen
pain in my back, up through my
shoulders. was SO nervous |
could get but little sleep and
would lie awake for hours. Often
I was so dizzy I feared I would
fall and finally I had to give up
my homework.
by the time I finished my
second bottle of Tanlac l could

my case proved Tanlac is most
