These expenditures growing out of the war must be met by borrowing from the people, and their magnificent response hereto fore to the government’s requirements makes me confident that they will not fail to continue their support, to the end that all payments resulting from war necessities will be promptly met. Much remains to be done. Our brave troops must be maintained and paid until their work is fully accomplish ed and they are returned to their homes. This is not a time for us to relax our efforts, and the treasury department is making plans for larger and even more important work dur ing the coming year.

Perry, a well-known business man, residing at 370 Quince street, Salt Lake City, Utah. "Mrs. Perry had suffered from stomach trouble for a long time,” he continued. “She had no appetite and complained of a heavy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was extreme ly nervous and I don’t believe she slept as much as two hours out of twenty-four, in over two years. She lost weight and strength continually and could not attend to her household duties. She tried everything wc could find and nothing gave her any relief ; | until we got Tanlac. Her stomach I [trouble is entirely gone now. she card | eat just anything she wants without! any trouble and besides gaining twen- ' ty-eight pounds, she is able to <!■» all her housework and seem:- like a dif ferent person. ".As to nr. own <■ ,se, I had been ;r a i nervous rundown condition for three | years. My appetite was so pi or that i I would hardly average one good meal ' a day and I had no energy or ambi- ! i tion. I have improved in every way' since I started taking Tanlac. My s appetite is so good that I can hardly eat enough to satisfy it. I eat three hearty meals a day and then want more. 1 have picked up ten pounds in i weight and feel better than I have in a long time. We both think that Tanlac is the greatest thing of its kind tn the world.” Tanlac is sold in Griffin by Brooks’ Drug Store and Carlisle and Ward and by one established agency in ev ery town.
