Suffering from rheumatism, De-

"My wife thinks Tanlac is a
world-beater, and it's fact, it docs
give fine results" says Frank Dal-
sky, 1905 Wellman ST., Massillon,
Ohio. well-known shoemaker for
the Zepp Shoe Co.
'fShe has been using the medicine
for quite a while, and anyone can
see her wonderful improvement. For
eighteen or twenty years she had
rheumatism in one of her knees, and
suffered so awfully that she walked
lame and at times couldn't even
bend over. She was worse some
days than others but was always in
pain and handicapped. She had
some stomach trouble, too, and suf-
fered from acute indigestion now
and then.
"Tanlac has become her standby
now, and has put an end to her
lameness and suffering Her diges-
tion was never better, and her appe-
tite is extra fine. Altogether she is
in splendid health, and is always
talking about the good Tanlac has
done her,

Anxious to See Road Improved
On Tuesday, June 5, quite a num-
ber of Homer township citizens met
with the county commissioners and
presented petitions asking for sur
vey and estimate on InterCounty
Highway sos, beginning at the
Athens county line at Bishopville.
and extending through Homer to the
Union township line. This is one of
the most used roads in Morgan coun-
ty, but is one that would perhaps
cost least to build, as most OF it is
almost level and lies along ridge
studded with limestone. Homer
trustees have guaranteed to assume
25 per cent of the expense, and go
per cent of the adjacent land owners
have agreed to assume their share.
This leaves the county a relatively
small per cent, as this highway is a
federal as well as a state road. G..
R. GLADDEN., Les Updike, James Kin
caid and T. H. McLain made very
good talks, asking for the road, and
C. T. Lowell moved that it be allow
ed. Nothing further was done, and
last weeks papers say the matter
was filed for further consideration.
Homer and Union township people
are anXiously waiting, for this road
means more to them thas any pro-
ject that has been brought up for
years. We have been struggling
along, helping ourselves, without
any help from the county except a
few necessary bridges or few small
changes of road sites, but planning
and looking forward to the time
when we would be given share of
the state road funds that have been
spent so lavishly in other parts OF
the county. 1t seems to US we have
been very patient and that that time
has surely arrived. We believe that
our friends in other parts OF the
county want us to have it. In spite
Of many discouragements we still
have faith in the fair-mindedness OF
our felloW-men.
