Tried Treatment for Three Years
but Couldn’t Get Relief.
HER HEALTH RESTORED
“Even My Own Folks Are Astonished
That I Am Able to Do My
Housework,” Says Mrs.
Blalock.
One of the most sensational state¬
ments yet published in connection
with Taniac, was made by Mrs. V.
Blalock, residing at 104 Crawford
street, Houston, Texas, a few’ days
ago. who said:
"I suffered so much from rheuma¬
tism and stomach trouble for the past
three years that I became despondent
and sometimes felt that life was hard¬
ly worth living. I had a distressed
feeling in my stomach no matter what
or how little I ate. My chest was full
of pain, my heart acted peculiar and
I could hardly get my breath at times.
I was tired all the time and felt so
weak and miserable that I could hard¬
ly stand on my feet.
“Do you know I spent something
like four thousand dollars during
those three years for treatments and
medicines of various kinds but found
no relief. I started taking Tanlac
and began to improve with the first
few doses and even my own folks are
now astonished that I am able in so
short a time to do my own housework.
Somehow it just seemed to suit my
case exactly and it makes me happy
to think how perfectly my health Is
being restored. I can eat anything I
w'ant now and am not troubled any
more with shortness of breath or other
signs of indigestion. 1 have already
gained five pounds in weight and am

A Philadelphia Idea.
Music and cleaning the parlor have
never been very closely associated.
When the housewife wants to play the
piano she generally waits until she
has cleaned the parlor, token n bail)
and dressed herself in party clothes.
Now a Philadelphian has patented a
dust-filtering attachment which can be
attached to the player-piano, and the
ordinary housewife can now seat her¬
self at the piano-player, obtain music
via the keys, work the pedals for all
she is worth and, with her child to
run the vacuum cleaner about the
floor, she can have it clean In a jiffy.
The bellows of the player are attached
to the vacuum cleaner by means of
a special pipe, and in this manner the
needed-vacuum is created for cleaning
purposes.

All Household Pets Should Be Kept

Eradicate roaches and house ants.
Keep weevils out of cereals.
Keep your food where such pests

Keep household pets away from
food.
Don’t let fresh vegetables or fruit
wilt or lose their flavor or begin to
rot because they nre handled careless¬
ly. Keep perishable vegetables in cool,
dry, well aired, and, for most vegeta¬
bles, dark, rather than light places.
Learn how to store potatoes, cab¬
bages, root crops, fruits and other
foods so that 1hey will keep properly
for later use. Don’t think that any
place in the cellar or pantry Is good
enough to store food.
Heat, dampness, poor ventilation,
bruising or breaking will rapidly make
many vegetables rot, ferment or spoil.
Warmth and light make vegetables
sprout and this lowers their quality.

“Don’t be so smart.”
“Why?”
“That, wasn’t a man that put his
hand on the paint to see if it was

the change made becomes
a permanent one. It pays
to prepare for the health

“There’s a Reason”
a day’s work. I want to see a bottle of this won¬
derful liver medicine in every home here.
Calomel is poison—it’s mercury—it attacks the
bones, often causing rheumatism. Calomel is dan¬
gerous. It sickens—while my Dodson’s Liver,
Tone is safe, pleasant and harmless. Eat any¬
thing afterwards, because it can not salivate. Give
it to the children because it doesn’t upset the stom¬
ach or shock the liver. Take a spoonful tonight
and wake up feeling fine and ready for a full
day’s work.
Get a bottle! Try it! If it doesn’t do exactly
what I say, tell your dealer to hand your money
back. Every druggist and store keeper here knows
me and knows of my wonderful discovery of a
vegetable medicine that takes the place of danger¬

The Last of the Caribs.
The Carib Indian was the first rep¬
resentative of Lo the poor red man to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea Ills name. Thus he Is assured a
monument ns long as geography shall
last, nnd he needs It, because ns a
living race he has practically disap¬
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies In 1492 Is
largely a matter of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves, nnd shot them when
they made war. Today it Is doubtful
whether there are a hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
of them live on the British Island of
Dominion, on a reservation set apart
for them called Salybin.
Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream
The juice of two fresh lemons strain- i
ed into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white makes a whole quar¬
ter pint of the most remarkable lemon
skin beautifier at about the cost one
must pay for n small jar of the ordi¬
nary cold creams. Care should be tak¬
en to strain the lemon juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem¬
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and Is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try It! Get three • ounces of
orchnrd white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of thfc sweetly fra¬
grant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. It
naturally should help to soften, fresh¬
en, bleach and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. It is simply mar¬
velous to smoothen rough, red hands.
