Had Lost Interest In
Life, She Declares
' /
CONDITION SO BAD SHE BEGAN
TO FEAR SHE "WOULD NOT
LIVE LONG."
A YEAR OF MISERY
But She Now Says "I Want To Live,
For I Find Pleaaure In Life
"From an invalid to a healthy and
well and strong woman was the
change Tanlac made in my health,"
declares Mrs. Genis McGrady, of 921
Ninth St., Olympia, a suburb of Columbia,
in a statement she gave in en- j
dorsement of Tanlac.
"For a year or more before I took
Tanlac I had not been able to work
any. I had been keeping a boarding
house, but my health became so bad I
had to stop that, and I even got to
where I could not sweep the floor of a
room without being exhausted
when it was done. My system was
badly run down and weakened and I
had wasted away until I was hardly
more than skin and bones.
"I had no appetite at all and I had
to force down what I did eat, and after
I would eat a few bites I would
feci puffed up as tight as a drum. I
could not do my housework, nor anything
else, and, I had begun to fear I
would not live long. I was so miserable
and sick and had so many troubles
that I really did not care whether
I lived or died.
"The endorsement which a friend
gave of Tanlac, in which he told of
what. Tanlar HiH fnr V?iu !?#! I
enccd me to take Tanlac, too, and
about the time I finished the first
bottle my husband became ill with typhoid
fever and I nursed him day and
night for over four weeks and held up
well under the strain. I could not
have done it, though, had it not been
that Tanlac had helped me so much in
every way, and by being able to do
that hard work shows just how much
the first bottle of Tanlac helped me.
"I took another bottle after my
husband got well. I am now working
and I am doing all my housework,
too, and I feel well and strong, and I
could not even sweep a floor before I
took Tanlac, I was so weak.
"Tanlac is a wonderful medicine
and it proved that by what it did for
us. It gave me a good appetite, relieved
those headaches, and made me
take the interest in life that I used to.
I want to live now, for I find pleasure
in life. I am happy and strong and
well now and am enjoying life.
"I had been sick about three years
before I began taking Tanlac, and 1
had been very weak and sickly the
year before I took it, and I had taken
ever so many medicines but Tanlac
did me by far more good than any
other medicine I ever took."
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold

Stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try

and I found it to be the best family medicine
for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hsnd all the
time now, and when my children feel a
littl^bad, they ask me for a dose, and i:
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spel! of sickness
in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught."

jlf BOBOLINK I
I DoUchonyx oryzivorua
l^ttS - - V -. \
Length, about seven inches.
Range: Breeds from Ohio north- <
east to Nova Scotia, north to Manitoba,
and northwest to British Columbia;
winters in South America.
Habits and economic status: When
American writers awoke to the beauty
and attractlvenoss of ojir native birds,
among the first to be enshrined in
song and story was the bobolink. Few
species show such striking contrasts
in the color of the sexes, and few have
songs more unique and whimsical.
In its northern home the bird is loved
for its beauty and its rich melody; in
the South it earns deserved hatred by
its destructlveness. Bobolinks reach
the southeastern coast of the United
States the last half of April Just as
rice is sprouting and at once begin to
pull up and devour the sprouting kernels.
Soon they move on to their
northern breeding grounds, where they
feed upon insects, weed seeds, and a
little grain. When the young are well
on the wing, thoy gather in flocks (
with the parent birds and gradually
move southward, being then generally
known as reed birds. They reach the
rice fields of the Carolinas about August
"0, when the rice Is In the milk.
Then until the birds depart for South,
America planters and birds fight for
i the crop, and In spite of constant
watchfulness and Innumerable devices
for scaring the birds a loss of 10 per
cent of the rice is the usual result.
RED-W'.NGED BLACKBIRD
(Agflilui phaolctoi)
/
Length, about nine and one-halt
Inches.
Range: Breeds In Mexico and North
America south of the barren grounds; J
winters in southern half of United
States and south to Costa Rica.
Habits and economic status: The
prairies of the upper Mississippi valley,
with their numerous sloughs and
ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for
redwings, and consequently this region
has becomo the great breeding
ground for the species. These prairies
pour forth the vast flocks that play
havoc with grain fields. East of the
Appalachian range, marshes on the
shores of lakes, rivers, and estuaries
are the only available breeding sites
and. as theso are comparatively few ,
and small, the species is much less
abundant than in the WeBt. Red- !
wings ore eminently gregarious, living
in flocks and breeding in communities.
Tho food of tho redwing
consists of 27 per cent animal matter
and 73 per cent vegetable. Insects constitute
practically one-fourth of the
food. Beetles (largely weevils, a
most harmful group) amount to 1U
per cent. Grasshoppers are eaten In
every month and amount to about 5
per cent. Caterpillars (among them
the Injurious army worm) are eaten \
at all seasons and aggregate 6 per ,
cent. Ants, wasps, bugs, flies, dragonflies,
and spiders also are eaten. The
vegetable food consists of seeds, Including
grain, of which oats Is the
favorite, and some small fruits. When
in large flocks this bird is capable of '
doing great harm to grain.
