GREAT DEMAND FOR TANLAC DUE TO MERIT ALONE It’s What The People Say About It That Causes Orders For Nearly a Million Bottles In One Month— Big Indianapolis Druggists Elated. The greatest test any medicine can undergo is the "repeat" sales it enjoys. Tanlac's phenomenal record has been possible because of the fact | that men and women who buy one bottle invariably return for the second and recommend it to others because it has helped them. To say that Tanlac now has the largest sale of any medicine of its kind does not begin to tell the story. No other preparation has ever approached the marvelous success of | Tanlac, and in the eight years it has been on the market 30.000,000 bottles I have been sold. Between June 15 and July 15 of this year orders were received for nearly one million bottles, and it is evident that dealers are still enthusiastic over the ever-increasing demand, by the tone of letters with orders. The Kiefer-Stewart Co., wholesale druggists, of Indianapolis, lud., under date of March 22nd write: "In a year we have sold 161,652 bottles of Tanlac. It is tremendously popular throughcut our territory, and we consider it a most valuable Sgency. W. A. Hover & Co., large wholesale druggists of Denver, Colo., writing under date of July 17, state: "W'e are submitting today our order for the fourth carload of your goods since April 1. Taking into consideration loal conditions this demand is not only exceptional but alone in the record of sales for proprietary articles in this section.” The tremendous popularity of Tan-| lac is the unquestioned and out-stand-, ing proof of its merit. No medicine of less superlative quality and effectiveness could possibly attain such a huge sales record nor gain, as Tan-1 las has. the unqualified endorsements of thousands of well-known men and ■ women in all parts of the continent for the best in the communities. Like all great successes Tanlac has . its immitators, and although there I are over a hundred preparations on the market claiming similar therape-I utical value, many copying the origin- i al Tanlac advertising, the popularity: cf this preparation continues to grow. | and it unquestionably the most talked of medicine in the world today. Tanias Is sold by all good drug gists. Dr. W. E. Smith to be Deputy County Coroner Dr, W. E. Smith of this city -will j act as coroner of Adams courfty dur- ■ ing the next three weeks in case there is any necessity for his services. Dr. L. L. Mattox of Geneva will be abent from the county for three weeks and as he is the coroner he has asked Dr. Smith to serve as his deputy during that period. Dr. Smith will answer any call for services in the cases requiring the coroner’s action during the next three weeks. q Blasting Does Much Damage In New York New York. Sept. 20.—Water mains suddenly bursting and structures collapsing for no apparent reason, are accounted for by the geological experts as due to the powerful blasting always going on here. Manhattan Island is made up of rocky strata which run the entire length of the city and these frequent explosions cause vibrations which travel with slowly decreasing intensity. A blast set off at any point on the strata is felt for a great distance from the point of explosion and its vibrations may be powerful enough to damage water mains or the underpinning of buildings along its path. One of the widest of these rock strata runs diagonally across Manhattan Island with its center near Columbus Circle. The great blasts used in the construction of the Hotel Commonwealth, now building at Fifty-fifth and Fiftysixth streets, Broadway and Seventh Avenue, have been strongly felt at Madisdn Avenue and Forty-Second street, and prove the unbroken character of this formation. The geologists of Columbia University, commenting on this declare that in view of the peculiar strata formation of ! Manhattan, it is likely that the heavy blasting may be the cause of disturbances in other parts of the city. The Hotel Commonwealth construction work is the most extensive now going on in the city, and the investigation of the geologists will center about this stratum. It is feared that the constant vibrations have made Manhattan Island very sensitive. If it is found that the bursting mains and building collapses are due to them, the experts state that it will be necessary to draft a new and more rigid set of building laws in order to control the dangers presented by the situation. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—$—-s—s

’ord Employee Hopeful As I. C. C. Issues Order J (Inlled Service.) . Detroit, Sept. 20.—(Special to Dally Democrat) —A ray of hope was seen by thousands of idle Ford employes today in the new order of the !.<•(• which now permits movement of coal to all classes of consumers. E. G. Liebold, Henry Ford's secretury, told the United Press today that the Ford Motor Company is now in a position to reply to an offer from the Maine Island Creek company of Mest Virginia to supply the Ford company s needs at a price acceptable to them.
