INACTIVITY CAUSES CONSTIPATION
Lack of exercise in the winter is
a frequent cause of constipation.'
You feel heavy, dull and listless,
5 our complexion is sallow and pimp
ly, and energy at low ebb. Clean
up the condition at once with Dr.
King's New Life Pills, a mild laxa
tive that relieves the congested in
stincts , without griping. A dose
before retiring will assure you a
full and easy movement in the
morning, 25c. at your Druggist. 2
A Whitewash That V/on't Rub
Off.
Whitewash is so commonly used
around the farm that il is advisable
to know just how to make it prop
erly. The following recipe for a
cement whitewash is made use of by
owners of cold storage warehouses
who desire a snowy white A'ash that
dries quickly, adheres strongly to
cement, brick or wood, and does
not rub off on the clothes.
Slake one-half bushel of lime with
boiling water, adding the water
slowly and stirring constantly until
a thin paste results. A 5-l'oot piece
of throe-fourths inch iron pipe
makes a good rod for stirring. The
lime will be lumpy if the water is
added freely and the mass is not
properly stirred. Add one-half peck
uf salt to the lime paste; stir thor
oughly; add water to bring the
whitewash to the proper connisteu
cy. Throw a good handful of
Portland cement in each pail of
whitewash, and a teaspoonful of ul
tramarine blue. Add the cement
and the blue powder jus. before the
wash is to be used and stir in well,
otherwise the whitewash will he
streaked. The ce meut makes the
whitewash adhere strongly to any
surface, and the bluing counteracts
the grayish color of the cement and
results in a wnite appearance.

soothing, healing remedy for coughs
and colds that has stood the test of
nearly fifty years. For that cough
that strains the throat and saps the

COLUMBIA WOMAN SAYS SHE
LIVED IN CONTINUAL
DREAD-HAD AWFUL
YEAR.
MRS. STOKES TELLS OF HER EX
PERIENCE IS HOPE OTHER SUF
FERERS MAY PROFIT.
Regarding the truly wonderful re
sults she said she had obtained from
the use of Taolac, ''The National
Tonic," Mrs. Carrie Stokes, of
113 Huger St., Columbia, gave
the following highly interesting
statement: |
"I suffered from stomach trouble
and indigestion for two or three
years, and I had spells of some
kind of trouble. They were awful!
I was in such bad condition at one
time that I would have to crawl, for
I could not bear ray weight on my
feet.
"For a year or more I lived on a
diet of milk and orackersaud during
that time I did not eat a bite of solid
foca. I could not sleep at night and
Twas in a dread all time, though
I did not know what I was dread
ing, I had fourteen doctore to
treat me at different times,
and I was told an operation was the
only thing that would do me any
x'ood.
"When those awful attacks came,
I would just draw up and drop
wherever I was, and was just
about as anyone craiy when I had
one of them terrible spells. I
felt lazy and sick and tired all the
time, and even after a night's rest
I would feel so tired I could hardly
move. ?
"For a loug time I could not do
a bit of work around house and I
had to have someone todo it for me.
My nerves were so bad I. would
jump and cry out if a door slammed
and I could not stand to; have chil
dren arouud.
"My hnsband read of the srreat
relief Tanlac had given so many
people and lie bought it for me. I
am now taking my fourth bottle.
During the first two weeks that I
took Tanlac I gained ten pounds in
weight and I am now doing all my
housework. The Tanlac has helped
me wonderfully in every way and
bas built up and regulated my
stomach so that I can now eat
anything I care to and my food
is digested properly. I do not
suffer at ail with stomach trouble
now.
"The Tanlac increased my
atrength so much that I can com
pare my strength now with any two
woraiu my sizp, and remember that
it has not been so long ago that I
was too weak to walk. I had only
one of those bad spells since I be
gan taking Tanlac. I really feel
like a new woman now, so great has
been the relief Tanlac gave me.
My nerves now are fine and strong,
and I am not troubled with nerv
ousness.
."I sure can recommend Tanlao,
and I am glad to do so, and I hope
that some sufferer will profit from
what I have said. Tanlac is a truly
wonderful medicine, I think, and it
proved that by what it did for me.
It made a new woman of me, I tell
every one I oan of what Tanlac did
for rae."
