The germ has eluded bacteriologists. and medical men now agree that the best cure is prevention. The surest prevention is to build up tile bodily powers of resistance, and to get the system into tile best physical condition possible. It is now universally agreed that it is possible to perfect the powers of resistance of the human system so that it can throw off almost any infection, not excepting Influenza. ft has been observed that persons who are weak and run-down are more susceptible to the disease tnau per-i sons who are in robust health, and if! you are in a generally run-down con-

dition and below normal weight this warning should die heeded promptly. If you are in this condition nothing on earth will build you up and strengthen you like Tanlac. which contains the most powerful tonic properties known to science. As a reconstructive tonic and system builder it is without an equal and contains the very elements needed by the system to give you fighting strength to ward off disease ’ germs. This is a statement of fact and is supported by the recognized authorities and reference works including the I’. S. Dispensatory, the Encyclopedia Britanica. and also by standard text books used in the schools °f medicine. This statement is further proven by the fact that 1 millions of persons who have actually taken Tanlac have testified to its extraordinary merit as a medicine and by the fact Tanlac is today having the largest sale of any tonic on the American market. Tanlac is also an ideal strengthening tonic for persons who are suffering from the after-effects of colds, influenza, ordinary Grippe, and bronchial troubles, and hundreds of thousands are using it daily with most gratifying results. i In connection with the Tanlac treatment it is very important to keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, samples of which are enclosed with every bottle of Tanlac.

CHANGE IN PLANS A,mounted \v Bay Hano Company of Will Not Build Addition the house_ problem Has Become so Serious That it is not Believed Advisable to Build Now The Bay *‘ ctory of Hlllfrl ‘’' ‘ which has been growing tupidb f ; a year or two past and now emplovs ( 850 people has cancelled its contract] for the erection of an addition 250 x"" ] three stories and has announced that | unless they are shown that Bluffton, lean take care of the three hundred 'people needed to man the addition i will not be constructed. The work on the foundation had started but all the men on the job were laid off eonevidently the improvement will not be made. B. K. Settergren, the manager i.cannounced that the action is the result of a meeting of the Ixiard of < irectors recently held in Chicago. He says they now have several hundred employes who cannot be taken care in Bluffton and are living elsewhere and that it would be poor business for them to go ahead when there is no chance to secure people for the new plant unless housing problems are first taken care of. The company is evidently peeved because the Bluffton Chamber of Commerce without planning for this are trying to land other industries, the latest being an , aeroplane factory to employe 100 men. . all of whom must be brought in. The piano company says they will 1 maintain their present plant at Bhiff- ! ton but that the new building of built, i will be located in some near by town. ' where housing conditions are better. ' The action is the best proof that , a town can over play the game Take ; care of those industries you have and 1 are making good and add only as you } can with good judgment provide for. There is such a thing as stepping too I ■ fast. The action may tie for the puri pose of notifying the Bluffton neoph' ! of the results, and thus secure better ■ co-operation but it reads as though it ■ is on the level. Its worth thinking about any way.
