Stock can graze the land with- out danger, even if they eat the leaves that fall from the dead trees it will do them no harm.

Mrs. Daley Gains Seventeen *

Pounds Taking Tanlac— i

Thought Case Was \

Hopeless. j

“They said I couldn’t live i more than six months longer, t

but I’m still here and feeling J fine,” said Mrs. Mary Daley, of ,

520 Oak St., San Francisco, Cal. j “I have actually gained seven- J

teen pounds since I began taking t

Tanlac,” she continued, “and to jj look at me one wouldn’t think c

that for several months I was <

unable to do my housework. I suffered from gastritis all the j time, would bloat terribly and always felt miserable. I had no appetite and felt nauseated *

all the time. I was so nervous j the least little noise would str- <

tie me and it was almost impos- *

sible to get a good night's sleep. J

I had night sweats and was so

r„un down and weak that the slightest exertion would exhaust me completely. I lost weight dreadfully and was told that I couldn’t live six months at the rate I was then going down hill.

“Nothing helped me until I began taking Tanlac and I hon- estly believe it is the finest med- icine in the world, for it has made me just like a new person. My appetite is splendid and I never hnve the slicrfit.est. inrli-

gestion any more and I never en-

joyed such fine and refreshing ‘

sleep in my life as I do now. My ] house has eight rooms and I do i

all the work with ease. Tanlac i

has been a god-send to me and J I would be selfish not to tell oth- ers about it.”

Tanlac is sold in Brookhaven by Peoples Drug Store and in Bogue Chitto by Bolian Mercan- tile Co. 1

Miss Dorothy Middleton in Studio Recital.

"The tie that binds” was mani- fest in the coterie of sincerely inter- ested friends who were Mrs. Arthur B. Middleton’s guests at her young daughter’s studio recital on piano yesterday afternoon In Miss Kessler’s music room at Whitworth.

Dorothy, the talented and earnest young student, who began the study of Plano under Miss Bowen at the Public School, has just entered her teens and has had arduous duties demanded by her literary course; but regardless of this, she has given an hour each day to piano practice. The results attained are remarkable and are an argument for concentration and determination to succeed.

friends with her modest and sincere personality before she gave her first number. She happily inaugurated the program with a well worded in- troductioh.

She gave ten numbers, playing all from memory, perfectly, Beethoven’s Sonata, Op. 14, No. 1 beginning the program and MacDowell’s Czardas, closing it. Liszt, Moszkowski, Grieg and Rachmaninoff and other leading composers were represented in charm- ing numbers.

Miss Lois Cooper, who has been Dorothy’s teacher the past year was much gratified at the excellence at- tained by her pupil.

Delicious cream was served the as-

sembled company, among whom was the proud grandmother, Mrs. Anna Middleton, who is an alumna of Whitworth College, and who shared in the congratulations and pleasure of the afternoon.

Gifts of flowers and confections were presented by admiring friends.

If you suffer backache, sleep- less nights, tired, dull days and distressing urinary disorders, don't experiment. Head this twice-told testimony. It's Brook- haven evidence—doubly proven.

J. F. Watson, prop, of black- smith shop N. Jackson St., says: “Kidney trouble bothered me all my life, but it didn't get bad until about two years ago. I suffered pain caused by the pas- sage of the kidney secretions. At night I had intense pains, espec- ially in my left kidney. I finally got Doan's Kidney Pills at the Price Drug Co., and began using them. Doan's cured me of all the trouble.” (Statement given April 29, 1914.)

On January 28, 1918, Mr. Watson said:- “Doan’s Kidney Pills are the only kidney reme- dy I could ever rely on when my kidneys were out of ord<jr. I have had but little trouble from my kidneys since I gave a state- ment recommending Doan’s a few years ago. Whenever I am bothered with that complaint, however, Doan’s give me splen- did relief.”
