Why Suffer Stomach Trouble All Your Life?

Thousands of men and women who were physical wrecks from stomach troubles, who couldn't sleep, who couldn't eat without after misery, and whose kidneys, bowels and liver were out of order, now enjoy old-time energy and rel ish their food since taking Tanlac.
 Mr. Stephen Vitale, of l27 Springdale Ave, Meriden, Conn.,, says: T was a weak, thin, puny boy and grew up to manhood in that condition. But Tanlac fixed me up. It increased my appetite and made my stomach all over so l could di- gest everything. l gained 25 lbs"
 Tanlac contains no mineral drugs of any kind, just a special combina- ton of selected herbs, roots and barks, recognized to be of high medicinal value. Quick benefit and relief from stomach distress is al- most sure to follow the use of Tan lac. Get a bottle today from your druggist and let it start right in correcting those troubles which make you so miserable. Money back if it doesn't help.

The only comparatively safe in- tersections are those where traffic is so heavy both ways that traffic cops or lights are deemed necessary. Traffic accordingly is slowed up so much that only minor bumps, rather than serious collisions, are possible.
 The intersections that are not so fortunate to be slowed up with traf- fic, but only see a car passing 'once in while" are the most dangerous when drivers thinking they have the right of way cross the intersec- tion at 40 10 50 miles an hour. Any two driN CTS, deluding themselves thusly at the same time, are making a direct bid for the cemetery.

If there is any moral 70 draw from the injury of William Fox film magnate, and the death of his chauffeur as the result of an auto mobile crash, it is that speed at street intersections is about the most certain method of courting injury and death that exists in this modern world.
 The Fox machine crossed the in- tersection. according 10 reports. at high speed.
