. PAGE TEN THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG WEDNESDAY; JUNE 2, 1920, SHE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE Montreal Woman Says Tanlac Did More For Her Than She Ever Dreamed it Could. It is of the first importance, after the drain of a severe illness on our physical resources, that the spent capital be replaced as soon as pos- sible. The following statement shows how Tanlac accomplished just that in the case of Mrs. Albert Gratton, residing at 607 Evelyn street, Ver- dun, Montreal, when seen at her home by the Tanlac representative, recently, Mrs. Gratton said : oy "After taking the Spanish 'flu' I was in a very weak 1 simply had no appetite and my' ai- gestion was so bad that I had diffi- culty in retaining what little I did eat. It was as much as I could do to prepare meals for my husband and the children and I just had to Jet everything else go by. The housework suffered in consequence but I could not help it. I had to spend most of the day lying down and often I used to think my heart would stop beating altogether... My | feet and hands were continually cold and my complexion was sallow and | poor. Rheumatic pains kept me from | sleeping at night and I got into such | a nervous condition that even the | n worried me. } re in a truly deplorable state | when I began taking Tanlac. I have i taken five bottles altogether and fit ' has done more for me than I ever | thought possible. I soon had a good appetite and began to eat heartily. I rapidly got stronger and now I am able to do all my work without jetting tired. 1 no longer suffer ny cold hands or feet and my com- plexion is clear and rosy, The rheu- matic pains hgve left me and I enjoy . perfectly restful sleep. My nerves are all right again and in fact I] "am better in every way. I capsider | Tanlac a most excellent medicine and | one that should be in every house- hold." Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. P. Chown and by the leading drug- gists in every town. --Advt. Rejuvenation, both physically and mental, can be acquired, much easier and more pleasantly than by taking or eating the glands from monkeys. The French have invented a Medi cine, in tablet form, that does away with all other'means of rejuvenation. |: These Tablets are now universally sold throughout Canada, and are known as VITAL Tablets. They sup- ply the necessary Vigor and Youth. There is no need to import chimpans- ees from Africa to take their glands to inject into people. Why go to all this trouble and expense, when VITAL Tablets can now be procured right in your own town, from your drug store? VITAL Tablets taken for a short period, disease of every description, old age with all its aches and pains, will be a thing of the past. Young men and women with their pale faces, thin blood, impure blood, blotches on the skin, run down, worn out, tired people can be placed in a state of good health, with pure blood, strong nerves, a strong stom- ach, a healthy body, full of youth and ¥igor. Every Tablet of this new med- - icine contains the elements to make you feel as mature intended you to feel, no matter what your trouble is, to your druggist and procure a oR of VITAL Tablets. If they do not do you good, go back and get your money. Get on your feet, away with that pale, worn out look on the face. VITAL will bring back the rose of youth.

A CASE OF a Two young sparrows, with their mother, were hopping about the gar- The old lady had her hands full with them, or would have, only that 'the course of evolution hadn't provided her with any. They were a stirring pair, those young ones. For convenience' sake we may call them Tommie and Jimmie. Both of them hung on pretty tight to their moth- ers' -apron-strings, hopping along after her whergver she. went, and flapping' their wings desperately in their efforts not to be left behind. When the old one picked up a grub or a seed, the two would make a dive for her head, wings and feet going for all they were worth, and would maul her like two kittens at the old cat, only with less disinterested motives. A kitten plays for the sake Of the game, but not so with 'these two sparrows. Yet it was noticeable that the two were not equally gifted with business acumen. Tommie was always on hand, and never missed any of the "eats." His motto was "More Pep!" Jimmie was of a dreamier, less prac- tical nature. He often loitered four or tive inches behind the others, gap- Ing at the scenery. Of course it's a common thing to find such differ- ences in members of the same family. Get hold of W. J.

He' kept watching them, for weeks, and noticed that, while one was al- ways alert and obedient to the mother's signals, the other was more swayed by curiosity, and would often linger behind and expose himself to danger. From what Long afterwards observed, it is to be feared he linger- ed . once too often, poor fellow. Jimmie showed ms of the same failing. But still he did a fair share of the men-handling received by his poor oMd mother. It must have got a bit tiresome for the latter.

The death of Mrs. George Hecox at her home in East Lee Mass, May Sth, brought to an end the closing chapter of a lite story unrivaled by the immortal "Enoch Arden," Mrs. Hecox, who was 74 years of age, sur- vived her husband by only a few months and there came into the liv: of these two a romance as strange as it was real. Before the days of the Civil war Mrs. Hecox met and married George Hecox. Soon after the marriage, Mr. Hecox joined the army and at the close of hostilities failed to return. Supposing her husband was dead, Mrs. Hecox married Timothy Tucker. Her first husband was not dead and when he returned he acted in real life the role of Enoch Arden. Finding his wife married he hid his identity and lived in seclusion in New York State. For many years he kept his peace and watched the trend of affairs. After Mr. Tucker died, 12 years ago, he returned to Lee, made ' himself known and, he, with his for- mer wife, began living 4s when first interrupted by the war. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hecox were de- voutly religious, which makes 'their life story seem more Strange. The Defence of Ladysmith. A statue to the memory of Sir Geo. White, the defender of Ladysmith, is at last to make its appearance, and "keep silent watch and ward" on Horse Guards Avenue. The work has unavoidably been de- layed, for the Field Marshal died nearly eight years ago. So a little speeding-up has been applied, with the result that it will be reddy just a trifle earlier than the date given. Un- veiling was to take place on July 8, Which is the anniversary of White's birth; then the ceremony was ad- vinced to June 24, his death-day. Now, the bronze being actually in the casting, it is possible that the public event, at which old South Afri- can comrades will be present, may and sticking a toe into your eye whenever you stoop to pick, up a worm. Anyway the old lady sudden- ly and decisively took her flight across the street and disappeared among the trees. Surely she wasn't going to desert the young ones altogether? They seemed quite dumbfounded, flew into the middle of the road, and sat there helplessly. After a while one of them (we are betting it was Tommie) flew the rest of the 'way across and Mt in the garden opposite. Jimmie started to follow, but his wings or his heart failed him,' and down he squatted on the sidewalk. Jimmie's dress was never made to match the color of Kingston's cement walks : he showed up very plainly. But it didn't matter much. Out in the open country there might have been plenty of enemies ready to pounce you over'the head with their wings on him, but here in the city he ---- # If they It's a fact thet tea and coffee Buy a package of Postum from results 1t ten days,and z HIG On Monday evening a delegation - eT For Boys. to Make YHandierafy Clothes Line Red GRANT M. HYDR "Whenever I 'watch the women folk laboriously untangling and un- Snarling the clothes line, and then scrubbing off the dirt it has ac- cumulated during the week, I have 'wondered why someone didn't make them a reel to end the weekly snarl. Here's a plan for a wate f "clothes line box and reel and, i you will build it, sonny, I am sure your mother will appreciate it. "First, to make the reel, build up the two flat sides of ¥-inch hard- wood boards, mark 9-inch circles on cach and saw them out with a key- hole or jig saw. Smooth and sand- paper them carefully so that there will be no ragged edges to catch the rope, For the center of the reel, use a block about 2 inches square and 4 inches long nailed between the side pieces. To make an axle, get ¢ from: the blacksmith shop a piece of "$4 round iron about 10 inches long, and file one end of it into square shape to hold the crank. Bare a hole through the center of the reel and drive the iron rod through it-- if it fits too loosely, file a flat side os the iron rod, where it passes through the reel, and drive in a wedge. "Next, the box. Build it of 3§- inch pine, carefully cut and fitted. The dimensions inside should be 12x 12x6. The top should lap over about 1 inch all around and should be covered with tin. Hinge it to the box at the back ed, The front and back faces of the box should each be made of two boards divided at the axle bearing so that the reel may be set inside before the upper boards are nailed on. A one-inch hole for the rope to pass through should be bored high up in one end. The crank will be 6 inches long, cut out of oak, fitted snugly on the isquared end of the fron rod) a: spike forms the crank handle. t "Give the box and reel two coats of paint throughout. Nail it up to a clothes post with the rope-hole pointed in the right ;direction--to- ;ward the other posts. Tack one end 'of the clothes line to the inside of ithe reel and wind it up. A knot o !the end of the rope will keep it fro {pulling inside out of reach."

It must have been some very gruff- looking old gentleman, for the two youngsters sat back on thelr tails and watched him quite shyly. There was nothing of the "enfant terrible" about them just now.
