HAWKINS SAYS
HE NOW FEELS
LIKE NEW M/i,
Hasn't Had a Sign of Rheumatic
Trouble Since He Took Tanlac
—Has Gained «n Weight.
“I nave actually gained thirty
pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and
I now feel like a new man in every
way,” said J. T. Hawkins, residing at
335 Johnson Place, Memphis, Tenn.,
some time ago.
“I was just racked with pain from
rheumatism for a whole year until I
couldn’t hit a lick of work and was
just up and down, mostly down, all
the time. My joints would swell and
cramp so I couldn't raise my arm
to my head—couldn’t comb my hair
—and when I stooped over to tie my
shoes, the pain would almost make,
me cry out loud. I got in such a
shape that I couldn’t eat anything
without suffering afterward and noth
ing I tried in the way of medicine
-Sielped me any at all.
“I only weighed one hundred and (
eight pounds when I Started taking
Tanlac and now I weigh one hundred
*nd thirty-nine. My joints don’t hurt
any more and I can bend over and
.us? my arms at work with as much

EAT LESS AND TAKE
! BITRO-PHOSPHATE
1 TO PUT ON FLESH
A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE.
j Frederick S. Kolle, M. D., editor of
;New York Physicians, “Who’s Who,”
! says that weak, nervous people who
1 1 want increased weight, strength and
| nerve-force, should take a 5-grain
' j tablet of Bitro-Phosphate just before
or during each meal.
This particular phosphate is the
: | discovery of a famous French scion
• | tist, and reports of remarkable re
’ suits from its use have recently ap
peared in many medical journals.
’ i If you do not feel well; if you tire
'easily; do not sleep well, or are too
j thin; go to any good druggist and
• get enough Bitro-Phosphate for a two
2 weeks’ supply—it costs only fifty
3 cents a week.
I Eat less; chew your food thor
'■ oughly, and if at the end of a few
1 weeks you do not feel stronger and
better than you have for months; if
your nerves are not steadier; if you
do not sleep better and have more
vim, endurance and vitality, your
money will be returned, and the Bi
tro-Phosphate will cost you nothing.

“Sell’s It For Less”
IDOLUE’S CURE
By MILDRED WHITE.
"And so," finished Aunt Abigail,
“Douglas can never hope to marry
while his mother is alive. There are
no bonds so strong as the weakness
with which an invalid holds her sub
ject.
"Douglas has tried one nurse after
another; capable, charming women, j
too, but not one could bring his moth- |
er to any degree of helpfulness to her- |
self. Mrs. Cameron relies upon oth
ers for her slightest need, and all are in
terror of her hysterical outbursts. Not
that Celia Cameron is noisy in her at
tacks, but her silent and prolonged
weeping wears more I think upon one’s
nerves. Her husband spoiled her by
his unreasoning devotion, and Douglas
was forced to continue the slavery.
Pardon me, my dear, much as I love
Celia Cameron, slavery is the word
which expresses her exactions. And
when it became evident that Douglas
was paying attention to yourself, my
conscience chided me for being the
means of bringing you together. It is
honest of him to ask you to spend a
few weeks at his home in his mother’s
fretful society before urging you to be
come engaged to him. He certainly
wants you to know what you are about,
and from what Huldah White told me
of her experience as nurse there I
can foresee that your visit will be de
cidedly short. , You have neither Hul
dah’s patience nor endurance. You’ve
always been humored yourself, Dollie.
When I try to fancy Douglas’ mother
and you in the same house —the thing
is impossible.”
Dollie clasped her arms about her !
curly head, and into the china-blue !
eyes which had caused her family to
bestow upon her the name of Dolly
came an inscrutible light.
“Yet, I am going to marry Douglas,”
she said, “and I’m going to make that
visit.”
Douglas himself looked apprehensive
as he met his sweetheart at the
suburban station and drove her out to
his fine old home.
“Mother,” he gently announced,
"Dollie will visit with you in the gar
den ; she will not be in the least of
fended when you are tired of talking if
you send her away.”
Dollie agreed with a doubtful smile
as the son departed.
“I get tired of talking myself,” she !
told the invali# sadly, “it rutiles my j
nerves.”
“Nerves!” cried the other, and she
leaned eagerly forward.
“My doctor forbids the subject, and
the nurses were like sticks when I
ventured a thought. It will he com- j
sorting at least to talk to one who sym- ]
pathetically understands. Douglas
never told me that you also suffer from
nerves. Now, do you have wakeful
nights, and crying turns, and —”
“I often cry,” admitted Dollie, “if
things don’t go my way. And —I just
can't fuss doing every little thing for
myself, especially when I’ve a head
ache.”
The china-blue eyes grew pathetic.
“I have a headache now,” said Dollie.
Would you mind handing me that pil
low?”
The invalid hesitated a moment
aghast.
“Douglas brings the reclining chair
out for me to rest on,” she sug-<
gested.
Jumping into it, Dollie closed her
eyes.
“It's great 1” she said cheerfully;
“now if you’d just arrange my pil
low —” Presently the invalid found
herself slipping it under Doliie’s quiet
head. The girl’s soft hair.touched the
older woman’s fingers, and with an un
known impulse the slim hand moved
caressingly through its waves.
“Is your head so very bad?” she
asked.
Opening her distressed eyes, Dol
lie answered with a question:
“You think that you could read a
little to me —from your book? A read
ing sound soothes, 1 think, don’t you?”
“I never read aloud,” the invalid re
sponded fearfully. I have to be —read
to.”
“Oh, dear!” moaned the girl, tears
seeming dangerously near her quiver
ing lids.
"If you cry,” Sirs. Cameron said

! queriflons'y. "I shall leave you. lh
would quite unsettle me.”
“Winn .’’ asked Dollie suddenly | Q .
'erested "d« you do when you feel
j like crying?”
“Some one usually tries to distract
me.” the invalid replied.
“But how?” Dollie persisted.
"Miss White used to tell me stories,”
she said at Inst.
Dollie reclined again with a relieved
sigh.
“Suppose,” she suggested, “that you
tel! me a story now about Douglas,
when he was a little boy. How he
first started off to school, and —some
of his naughtiness, too. I —love Doug
las —more than any one in the world.
You love him; we could enjoy the
stories together. Please.”
Bight of reminiscence shone in the
mother’s tired eyes, a smile for years
of happy memory curved her restrain
ed lips.
“There was the time,” she began,
and then she told her story.
As his mother moved houseward,
Dollfe’s blue eyes opened to twinkle
at Douglas’ perplexity.
“All she wanted was some one to
plan and think for. You were too big
and independent. Douglas.”
She sprang lightly out of her chair.
“Oh! I can see.” said Dollie. that
with reason on all sides, we three are
going to ‘live happily ever after.’ ”
