for keeping the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels functioning properly and
for tonihe upthe system in general,
Tanlac has no equal. Recently l had
a woman patient who could not even
keep water on her stomach for fifteen
minutes. Six bottles of Tanlac fixed
her up so she could eat absolutely any
thing. Another patient, a man, seemed
unable to digest any food at all. Three
bottles of Tanlac put him in such fine

The one who had just completed the

the other proceeded to explain. He
would have done so anyway. Thus:
'The 'humbles' or 'umbles' are the

when that animal was served at all
the best tables 1t was customary TO
serve the 'umbles' in the form Of a
pie to the servants and retainers at a
hunting feast. while the lord and his

ANTS OF Brazil

There are ants living in South

because they cut bits Of leaves from
trees and then march away to their
habitations, carrying the leaves OVer
their heads and shoulders. A Traveller
who has seen these ants work says
that he was amazed at seeing ants an
inch and a quarter in length and stout
In proportion marching in single HE
through the forest. The habit of these
ants in despoiling valuable trees OF
their foliage makes them a great
scourge to the Brazilians.
II Is not the largest of these ant
that do the work. The workers are
always small in size. The larger ones
have massive heads, some of which are
highly polished, others being Opaque
and hairy. The big fellows take life
easily. apparently admiring themselves
In strutting about, but perhaps on the
lookout for foes.
Imagine taking a walk. through the
plantations of Para and suddenly
coming upon large mounds of earth OF
q different color from the surrounding
soil. You would notice that some OF
the mounds were very large, being 40
yards in circumference, hut not more
than two feet in height. A careful
search would reveal the fact that these
mounds were the work of parasol ants.
being the outwOrk of dOmes which
overlie and protect the entrance Of
their large underground homes. The
fact that the soil is brought up from
q great depth causes the difference In
color.
II Is not an easy matter TO catch
sight Of the ants at work on these
mounds. The entrances are usually
closed. and only now and then, when
some particular work Is going on, are
the homes opened. The entrances are
small and numerous. In the large hills
II would require a great deal of dig
ging TO get at the main galleries. The
minor entrances join, at the depth OF
about two feet. on n broad gallery,
four or Ave inches In diameter.
A habit Of the paraSol ant which
causes the natives TO dislike II Is that
II chips and carries off immense guam
titles Of leaves. When the little crea-
lures are busy with this work their
procession looks like a multitude of
animated leaves on the march. They
climb the trees tn get these parasots
and then use them to thatch their gal
Ieries to keep the rain away from the
