IMPROVEMENT WONDERFUL I Coqld Not Keep Even Cold Water on i Her Stomach at One Time-. I Strong and Hearty Now. C Though she declared her c'ondition zt one time was so bad that she aduld not keep even cold water on her stomach, Mrs. J. G. Johnson, of c $67 North Church St., Spartanburg, leclared Tanlac made such a rapid mprovement in her condition that it t ot her out of bed and enabled her t ;o do light housework in three days. : Wrs. Johnson's remarkable statement nd endorsement of Tanlac follows: "I nad catarrhal fever and what I hink was a slight case of the grippe. p was very much sick at my stomach ti mnd I vomited so much I could not ti seep even cold wat r on my stomach, f nuch less my f od. I had dizzy, t ainty spells a lot too. I had be- c ome so weak and kick that I had to ti tap in bed. I sta ed in bed three c reeks and could no even sit up, and b was under treat nt alV the time, Ii ut I did not seem o b geting any n cief, except that n usy was helped. l did not gain any frength at all, Ii hough, and I final' lost heart in hat way of tryin to regain my C< iealth, and I th w away all medi- p ines and bega ta ing Tanlac. a "A friend NY ose h sband had been M elped eve? much by it kept after tE ne until 1/ egan taing this medi ine, and dhe certainly did me a great at indness'by doing so, too, a: "Myftelief by using Tanl.c was as v ollowh: I was able to be up and d oind to the table and eating a reg- t lar meal and doing light housework a .three days, and in a week I dis- nt hhrged the cook and began doing my b ousework myself. I was able to go i o church five days after I started d aking Tanlac. The Tanlac gave me n ,a'ck my appetite right at the start, tI nd soon drove away that nausea g hat I then had at times, and I could C ust feel myself getting stronger p ight alang. s "I never have known any medicine s hat would make a sick person get tell so quickly, especially one who g was as sick as 1 was. I just took wo bottles and I am feeling fine now nd am still getting stronger and eartier, even if it has been a month ~ ince I took the last dose of Tanlac. am a great deal stronger now than s was before I got sick, and I am in n ar better health than I have been ' n a ,year or so. The Tanlac sure id make me well quickly. It was h ust won:aerful. 0 "Tanlac is due all the praise for h vetting me well, too, and I certainly , to praise Tanlac." - Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is 0old by Dickson's Drug Store, Man Ting; L.

One would think that >irds of every sort had long since >een driven far from the war zone, >ut instead, they lurk in and about t in great numbers. Very often the udden flight of a covey from a se luded thicket or remnant of wood as given the first signal of a shrap el attack. The drumming of big guns, the patter-patter-patter-patter" of ma hine. guns, the whirr and "bang" of plum puddings" and "rum jars" ent over by the enemy trench mor ars, seem to have lost all terror to hie feathered songsters. They chirp s gaily and, loudly over the muddy line" as if there was no such thing i all the world as war. The British Tommy is very fond of ets. When he can safely do so he irows crumbs over the parapet for ie larks and if he had his way would 11 up every nook and corner of the ?ench with some sort df animal miqs t. As it is, there is a strange mix ire of pets and pests in these deep attings in the earth-the outposts of attle*-where the men themselves ve a sort of animal life. It is a life o human being was ever intended to ve, and yet the health of the troops positively amazing. Of all the trench pests, the rat, of )urse, by reason of his size, takes recedence. He is everywhere. No mount of cleaning up has tended to -ipe him out. In fact, he waxes fat ,r and fatter as the war goes on. Of the pets the dog is by far the ore numerous and popular. There re goats and cats and canaries and arious species of mascots, but the g becomes more a part of the life an any of the others. Many a subaltern or company con ander has gone "over the top" into ttle with his dog leaping- and bark g happily beside him. Scores of gs have been killed beside their asters and hundreds wounded. In e fighting about Mametz, during the reat "push" on the Somme, a Red ross searching party came upon a athetic little group composed of a ibaltern, his dog, and four private >ldiers, just as they had sprawled their death in a burst of machine un fire. The dogs in the trenches have great in chasing the rats. They will even ap over the parapet after them into No Man's Land." And sometimes old Fritz" from the enemy trenches will iipe them. There is one old terrier ow in the front line who has been ounded four times. If he survives ie war, this old veteran is going to ave a collar with four gold stripes n it. The Red Cross dogs of the French ardly come under the head of pets. hey are a lasting tribute to the part umb animals have played, and are laying in the great world conflict. 'he dogs, however, render a service carcely more notable than the little ~rench donkeys that carry am mun i ion to the front line trenches. These ittle burros are as wise as they are gray. Their long, straight ears, al vays poking forward are attuned to he sounds of battle, and when the iring gets too heavy they dart for he shelter of shell hiol s and lie there vith the drivers until danger tempo aril is past. Some of the strangest animals of he war are the wild cats of Ypres5. I'he old mother and father caits of' Y'pres were once domest icatedl. But *vhen the frightened population fled it the first bombardme~nt, the cats, rue to all cat tradlitions, remained >ehjid. Now Ypres is a wilderness f ruins a.:l all the caNt horn and iving there have become ,ike wild inimals. A Canadian sergeant-major came narching out of the "line" a few (lays igo with a magpie sitting on his ~houlder. A private in the same comn any had a kitten curled up on the op of his knapsack. All the over ieas troop)s bring mascots wvith them. Phe South Africa: a started out with Sgreat collection of spring-boks, )mbboons, dluikers and a variety of iueer animals, but the climate of Northern France in winter mood is 'ar from friendly, and the warm veather pets have mostly beens "(lone n.'' Probably the most amazing of all var pets, however, was the lion cub, idlopted by the Americans in the [' reach aviation service. They read in a Paris paper that a "perfect lear of a cub" was for sale and [prompItly sent emissaries in to buy it. 1'hey said when it grew up they were ~oing to drop -it in the German lines, but it wvas sp)oiled into being a pam pored pet instead of a man-eater, and rmally because its layful howls at 'might became a nuisance, it was sent :o a zoo.
