FRIENDS WERE SUR
PRISED.
Many Of Them Start Taking Tanlac
When They See How It Helped
Dos Moines Man.
"My friends were all surprised
when they saw what Tanlac did for
me, and now several of them have
started taking it and are getting fine
results," said H. W. Olsen, for fif
teen years an employe of the Cutler
Plumbing Co., living at 1256 East
23rd street, Des Moines, Iowa.
"I was in an awful fix before I be
gan taking Tanlac," he continued,
and it looked like I was down and
out. My kidneys were all out of
order and my back hurt so bad that
if I stooped over I could hardly
straighten up again. At times I was
so dizzy I could not see and would
have to catch hold of the nearest
thing to keep from falling. My
stomach was so upset that it was al
most impossible for me to eat any
thing that agreed with me. My ap
petite left me and I hardly ate
enough to keep alive. Nerve was
all that pulled me through, for
everything I did was forced, for I
felt so weak and worn-out. I had to
force myself to do my work.
"A friend of mine recommended
Tanlac to me and after the first few
doses I commenced to feel better.
Well, sir, Tanlac has now made a
clean sweep of my troubles and I am
in the best kind of health. My kid
neys and back are both in fine con
dition and I can bend over and
straighten up without any trouble
whatever. And eat? Why I can
hardly get enough to satisfy me and
everything agrees with me perfectly.
The dizziness has left iue and I am
never troubled in any way at all
now. My strength has come back and
I am feeling like my old self again.
No, Sir, I can't say too much for Tan
lac."
Tanlac is sold in Leon by E. E.
Bell, in Lamoni by J. P. Jones, in
Grand River by Fred Bone, In
Pleasanton and vicinity by G. A.
Craig.

ONCE UPON A TIME"
Twenty children—boys and girls—squatted on the
slope of a little knoll, made themselves comfortable and
turned to the Lady in the Gypsy Dress.
"Once upon a time—" she began.
The children gave her their undivided attention.
"There was a very wise King".
You could have heard a pin drop.
"He had several handsome sons. The King wanted to
teach them Wisdom".
The Tale went on. The Lady in the Gyjjsy Dress told
the youngsters how the King showed his sons the object
lesson of the bundle of sticks.
First, he caused one to break a single stick. It snapped
easily. But, when bidden to break a bundle of sticks, the
sons bent their efforts in vain. One stick alone, the Lady
told the children, broke easily, but, all of the sticks to
gether resisted the best efforts of the strong youths.
Underlying the Tale, as the Lady told it, there was
message—the message of Community Service.
Individually, men and women may accomplish little.
Organized, intelligently trained in the methods of Com
munity Service, they can unite their fellows in one happy
purpose—the creation of a real community spirit.
Community Service is seeking to show American com
munities the way to greater happiness and content. It seeks
to solve their leisure time problems, to break down the bar
riers of selfishness and social prejudice, to make all elements
of the community meet in a common cause—
The Good of the Community.
