The Pleasant Way to Reduce
Let Ianlac
restore your health

II your body is all tagged -out and
, run down, If you are losing weight
steadily, lack appetite, have no
| strength or energy-why not let Tan
lac help you back to health and
strength?
So many millions have been bene-
flied by the Tanlac treatment, so
many thousands have written to tes-
tify to that effect that it's sheer folly
not to make the test.
Tanlac, you know, is a great nat
ural tonic and builder, a compound,
after the famous Tanlac formula, of
roots, banks and herbs. 1t purges the
blood stream, revitalizes the diges-
tive organs and enables the sfekly
body to regain it's vanished weight.
You don't need to wait long to get
results. Tanlac goes right to the seat
OF trouble. In day or so you note
vast difference in your condition.
You have more appetite. sleep better
at night and the color begins to creep
back into your washed-out cheeks.
Don't put off taking Tanlac an
other precious day. Step into the
nearest drug store and get a bottle
OF this world-famed tonic. That's the
first important step back to health
and vigor. Every days delay means
unnecessary suffering, for Tanlac
starts to clean out and tone I'D the
system right away. And by acting

City business men for the National
Parks Highway asspciation. Condi-
tons did not permit definite drive
before the holidays. but more than
$1,000 has been pledged in the cities
for 1926. A factor that increased
favorable support for the National
Parks Highway was the designation
Of the High way from Seattle to Min
neapolis, with the exception of a
small section in Minnesota. as federal
highway No. 10. In this way the
work Of the association has been con-
siderably simplified for the federal
