I fell off so much that I was ' simply afraid to get on the scales, for I hated to know how much I had lost. ; Sleep was practically out of the ques tion and many a time I walked .the floor nearly all night long. I got so weak I could hardly pull through the day, and I don't believe there was a man living more discouraged than I was. "Some time I had the worse trouble with my stomach I ever had and was fixing to give up my job. A friend ad vised me to try Tanlac before I gave up my Job, so I started in on it and now I am absolutely well and don't believe I ever felt better in my life. My appetite is a wonder and I can eat anything on the table. I sleep like a top, am back to my normal weight and couldn't ask to be in better health. This is what Tanlac has done for me and nobody can recommend it more highly than I can. Tanlac is sold in Wilmington by Robt. R. Bellamy and by leading dru gists everywhere. ( advt.)

NORWAY FACING MICH THE SAME PROBLEM AS AMERICA CHRISTIANS A NORWAY, Aug. 31. The officials who are endeavoring to er force the prohibition law in Norway are facing difficulties. " Their inability to check the smuggling of liquor from vessels anchored outside the three mile limit has led to a suggestion to extend the local water limit to seven miles, which would make the trans-shipment of contraband beverages more difficult. The suggestion is receiving consid eration by the government but revenue officers say that the extension of the three mile limit would only result in giving them a wider field to cover and that it would not hinder smugglers from plying their trade. Leaders in the prohibition movement are asking that the Norwegian navy be mobilized for patrolling off the coast in search of rum runners. The DETROIT -v mm will find new fall merchandise in every measures being taken in the United States to carry out the prohibition law are being watched keenly here.
