better shape than I have been for
years. I eat heartily, sleep well, my
rheumatic pains are all gone and I

I have in a long time. I recommend
Tanlac to all my friends as the bc?

SERGEANT STEPHENS
AT HIGH SCHOOL
From Friday's Daily.
Last evening standing room was at
a premium at the High School, when
the time came for Sergeant Stephens
to speak. Some three hundred
and fifty to four hundred were pack
ed in-the room, and on account of the
effect that the gas has had on Ser
geant Stephens, it was not possible
for him to be heard very far away.
The effect of the gassing is simply
beyond description. The matters
which he had to tell were interesting
but his condition was such that he
could not be heard very far away. He
was not allowed to tell many things'
which the people would have liked to
know, but would probably be such
which an alien enemy could use to
our detriment. Where enlisted, where
he sailed from, or landed in the old
country and where he fought, was
wounded or gassed he could not tell.
The crowd were well pleased with
what they were able to get of what
he had to !ay.
