taking the unhappy land.
Drouth Taking Toll.
The drouth is taking its toll of
ictims in the north. The earth in
many places shows cr.uk JO feet
deep. Trees are devoid of leaves,
and all wells and streams are dried
up. Many village! have been wiped
out by fire. Nearly all the cattli
have been slaughtered for fcod or
died for want of water. The popu
lation is feasting on rotteu sun
dried carcasses, collapsing Im
mediately after from ptomaine poi
noning. Whole towns are emigrat
ing in thousands. Many of these
unfortunates will never reach their
destination, and hundreds have al
ready perished on the way. Those
that are struggling along on their
tragic pilgrimage are living on grass,
hay, tree-bark and plundering where
tver thev can.
Autopsies have revealed that the
stomachs of the dead, contained
nothing but parched grass. In many
cases the population of towns and
villages come out in lanes to meet
the refugees and massacre them for
fear that they will plunder their own
nrecious food stores. The cry for
bread is ringing from helpless
mouths over countless thousands of
square miles, and there is none to
help. Saratoff is offering in vain
10 horses and five head of cattle for
each three pounds of flour.
Kneel at Shrines.
The peasants are kneeling at way
side shrines before effigies of Christ
crying out: "There is no health in
us O Lord! Give me bread, O
precious Saviour I Ere we perish 1"

controversial subject is that of Dr.

GEORGE D. SHAW, Springfield, Mass.
'To say that I feel twenty-five
years younger, twenty-nva years
healthier' and twenty-five years
stronger expresses what Tanlac has
done for me better than any other
way I can put it, said George D.
Shaw, veteran of the Civil War,
who now lives at 321 Wralnut street,
Springfield, Mass.
.. "I am now seventy-eight years old
and I don't hesitate to say I have
never known a medicine to equal
Tanlac. For fifteen years I was sub
ject to attacks of indigestion that
were so bad at times I woull have
to lay up for a week or two. For
a long time I lived on crackers and
milk alone as nothing else agreed
with me.
"When I -started on Tanlac I
weighed only one hundred and
seventeen pounds and my days were
thought to be numbered. I've been
so wonderfully built up, I now
weigh one hundred and forty-three
pounds and my stomach is as sound
as a dollar. In fact, I believe I could
cat the old army rations again with
out it hurting me in the least
"I never miss a chance of saying
a good word for Tanlac and I would
like to urge the boys of the "Sixties"
who are not feeling right to give it
a trial, for I am sure it would put
them in line again just as it has me.
For a man of my age to have no
physical ailment, to ' be well and
strong and enjoy life as he did
twenty-five years ago, is certainly
something to be thankful for and
there is nothing too good I can say
for Tanlac"
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by the
Sherman & McConnell Drup Co.,
and by leading druggists everywhere.
