Farmers Say They Attack the Growing Grain In the Milk Stage. The corn crop suffers greater Injury from rat« than any other crop grown In the middle West. Besides depredations on newly sown seed the animals attack the growing corn when In the milk stage. They climb the upright stalks and often strifl the cob clean of grain. A farmer living near Grand River, Iowa, relates the following experience: “We had about two thousand bushels of corn in three cribs to which rats ran and they ate and destroyed one-fourth of it. .Much of It was too unwholesome to put through the grinder until it had been < leaned an ear at a time. All the time we were poisoning and trapping them. We killed as high as 300 rats in two days and could hardly miss them. They destroyed more than enough corn to pay jtax**s on 400 acres of land.’’ One nian reports an ins.ance tn which rats destroyed three-fourths of the cro. on thirteen acres. A laflge portion of the evop grown on the Potomac Fiats near Washington, I). C., was destroyed by rata.—Kansas City «'ar

“ My weight has actually increased sixteen pounds but 1 am not much sur prised, for 1 have been eating three hearty meals a day and picking up ever since I finished my first bottle of Tanlac,” said Mrs. Maxine Katz, 437 East New York Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. “My neighbors all know what Tanlac has done for me and what I think of it, for when I visit one of them I hardly get seated before 1 start_ talking about it, as I am so happy over regaining my health I just can’t help telling everyone who will listen to me. For the past five years I had not been able to eat a single meal without its causing me great distress. 1 didn’t eat anything solid and even the lightest foods would nearly kill me. Just as soon as I ate anything at all, gas would*accumulate, I would have severe cramping pains and could hardly get my. breath. T also suffered with splitting headaches just about all the time and at times my head felt like it would burst. I could get but little sleep, many a night not being able to sleep a wink all night long and in the mornings I felt so tired and wornout it seemed like I would be compelled to go hack to bed again. I had lost so much weight and was in such a run-down, weakened
• condition that most of the time when I 1 started to do my housework 1 would become so tiled 1 just hail to stop and give it up entirely, and quite often was in bed unable to get around at all for days at a time. “Tanlac Seemed to la* exactly the medicine I needed, so I stuck to it, but to he honest about it, I never expected it to so completely restore my heal th as it has. At first I was particular about what I ate, for I had no idea any medicine could get my s’.omach in such a condition so quickly as Tanlac had, but I soon found I could eat just anything I wanted without si ffering from it a particle afterward. I never have a sign of gas or thc«e dreadful cramping pains and have nw. had a headache since I started taking Tanlac. My whole system seemed to have been built 'up. I sleep well, always getting up feeling greatly i-e-freshed, and have regained my strength so it is no trouble for me to do my housework. In fact I haven’t feh better in years than I do now and I am so delighted with what Tanlac has done for me I intend to praise it as long as I live.” Tanlac is sold in Greencastle by R P. Mullins. A. R. York Cloverdale and George Fox, Reelsville.
