ON GOOD ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Worthy Time for Irishmen to Reflect
on Proud History of Their Race
and Nation.

1t Is an exceedingly good thing that
ON this one day of the year, at least,
people of Irish nativity and race
should assemble around the festive
board to hear something that shall
take them away from the miserable,
selfish thought of their business, OF
their own even laudable though at the
same time petty domestic cares, and
remind them of their ancestors, to tell
them something of the place OF their
race and nation in the history Oh 'he

yersal Father surely has TO 90 ior

Saint PATRICK IN
HISTORY and
LEGEND

st. Patrick was born in North Brit
ain, In what is now Dumbarton, during
the second half of the Fourth century.
His parents were Christians and of
noble family His father. Roman cit
izen. Calpernius by name. held the
rank Of decurion, and was an ordained
clergyman: the mother Conchessa, was
the sister OF st. Martin, bishop Of
Tours
Although his parents were rich, St.
Patrick was brought up very simply,
living for the most part with his fos-
ter parents, on Il farm. Early he be-
gan to work those miracles and won
ters for which he is so famous.
In those days the Picts and Scots
made frequent incursions upon the
British coasts and on one of these in
rasion band of marauders alighted
from ships upon the shore near the
farm where Patrick, now lad OF
about sixteen, was playing in company
with some of his younger brothers and
sisters.
The pirates kidnapped st. Patrick, car
rying him OF to Ireland. where he was
sold as slave to Milcho, king of the
Dalaradia, and given the task of tend
Ing the swine. 1t was during his years
Of serfdom that Patrick acquired his
knowledge of the Irish tongue and his
love for the country folk.
After six years of this servitude an
angel came to him in dream and told
'ssAlm how to escape. Accepting the an
gels advice and his escape duly ac-
eomplished, Patrick Travelled on foot to
The West, and there took ship for Brit
ain. After much wandering he arrived
at his old home only to find that his

Whole System Is
Benefited by,
Tanlac

Thousands Of frail, nervous people
and convalescents everywhere have
testified to the remarkable power of
Tanlac in bringing back their health,
strength and working efficiency. It
seems to quickly invigOrate the consti-
tuition, and is powerful foe Of weak
ness. Mrs. George G. Owen, OF Salem,
Oregon, says:
"My nerves were upset and the little
ate wasn't enough to keep up my
strength, so l lost weight and became
SO weak 1t seemed I had no energy at
all. Tanlac restored my health COM
pletely, and gained twelve pounds in
weight"
There Is not single portion of the
body that is not benefited by the help
ful action Of Tanlac. 1t enables the
stomach to turn food into healthy
blood, bone and muscle, purifies the
system and helps you back to normal
weight. Get bottle today at any
