FRIENDS SAY
She IS PICTURE
OF HEALTH

II cannot give Tanlac too many
thanks, for it brought back my
health and strength after everything
else failed, and nearly all hope of
getting we'll had left me-" is the
grateful statement of Mrs. Sarah
Duckett.
Stomach trouble and rheuma-
tism had been gradually weakening
me down for 20 years. At times I
ached all over, could not walk with
out limping, and felt too weak to
get out of NY chair. Sleep was al
most out of the question and was
nervous, discouraged and despond-
ent.
when 1 began taking Tanlac
was down to 12O lbs. but l now
weigh $50 and haven't an ailment
in the world. This is what Tanlac
did for me four years ago and since
then l have never been without it
in the house. / take bottle now
and then and everyone says I am
the picture of health"

it can also do for you. For sale by

Perhaps there are five good, firm,
real solid reasons why men should
be thankful this Thanksgiving. Per-
haps there are 10. Who knows? May
be there are the same number for
women. Let's see:
A man should be thankful because
/. He can walk along the street and
if he hears somebody cussing about
something he can figure maybe
something needs cussing about. He
doesn't have to get insulted at what
somebody else thinks aboutsomething
else.
2. He can have a shiny nose and
yet be happy.
3. He doesn't have to run to the
front window to see of the man ring
ing the bell across the street is bill
collector or a sheriff. He knows from
personal experince that chances are
it is both.
4. He can blame his wife because
the dern kids kick up more racket
than tribe of Indians, and why
doesn't she quit crying and do some
thing about it?
5. A man can sit down is a chair
and drop his feet up on anything as

wall beside your phone in large numb
ers so the children may read as they
run.
You have no idea how extremely
important this is. The kids may call
the undertaken by mistake. And the
undertaken may come out and bury
you before you have chance to
explain.
One Thanksgiving Day a man ate
big dinner and got flat on his back
and first thing you know he was
dreaming. He thought his wife took
his last dime and blew it in for
loaf of bread when there wasn't a
chew of tobacco in the house.
He broke out in a cold sweat and
screamed. Neighbors rushed in They
Gained him. He learned his wife had
done no such thing. She had only
run away with the butcher. So there
is no use in trying to keep from
dreaming on Thanksgiving.
, Now, about the things you should
do; they, of course, are just opposite
to the things you shouldn't do.
AS you walk about or loaf around
during the day stop now and then as
we'll as here and there and think of
something for which you are thank
full.
Right away you can be thankful
it is Thanksgiving Day instead of
Christman. If it were Christmas,

Chippled Children's
Clinic in Gardiner
Coming October

Plans were practically completed
for the holding of the crippled child
ren's and chest clinics in this city in
October, at the final meeting of the
sesaon Of the Gardiner Public Health
Association held Tuesday evening at
the council rooms of the city build
ing. Walter d. Thurber of the Maine
Public Health Association gave an
outline of the method used in organ
izing clinics. He said that the pro-
fession and the lay people were
brought into contact more closely
than in any other line of medical
work. The first step would be the
extending of an Invitation to DIR. +.
G. Abbott of Portland, who is medi-
cal director of the crippled children's
clinics held in Maine. This invita-
ton comes from the local medical
association and the Maine Public
Health Association.
Mr.. Thurber pointed out that the
clinic wopld cover practically the
lower third Of Kennebec county. or
that district which would naturally
look to Gardiner for its medical as
sistance. In 1923 state census Of
crippled children was taken, which
has been used as the basis for the
Ave clinics which have been held in
Maine. He said that while the or
thopedic cases are easily discovered
those in need Of chest treatment are
not so readily detected. Anyone
! wishing to attend chest clinic will
have the advantage Of hiving his
case diagnosed by DR.. Francis B.
WEIGH of Portland. These two doc
tors are Of national repute in their
profession and Gardiner will be
honored by their presence.
There is great deal Of detail
work connected with the clinics and
further information will be available
from time to time.
The local committee is comprised
Of the following public spirited citi-
zens: DIR. G. G. Farrell, DR.. r. d. ST.
mons, Mrs. Frank Maxcy, Mrs. Helen
Maxcy Bates. Miss Catherine Calvin
and Miss Hazel Robinson, and any
information may be procured from
