The statements made by their parents are as follows: Mr. A. M. Blair, residing at 20, Atwood street, Providence, R. L.said: "We are Just so happy over the change Tanlaq has made in our lit tle girl that we can't do or say enough to show our appreciation. ' She had lost nearly 20 pounds in weight and looked so frail and weak that her mother and I were both almost wor ried Bick over her condition. s Since taking Tanlac she has already gained 10 pounds, her co!o" is bitter than it! ever has been and she looks and acts like a different girl." Mrs. Catherine McCabe, 414 Dick ens Ave., Scranton, Pa., said: "The 'flu left my little Regina in such a bad condition that I have no idea she would be with me now if it hadn't been for Tanlac. It is a mystery to me how she lived on the little she was eating and was so lifeless she never even cared to play with the dolls and toys she got at Christmas. Since taking Tanlac she is as hardy and well as any child could be and has gained 15 pounds in weight, I will always praise Tanlac for restor ing our little girl's health. " Richard Leary, 2342 Palethorpe, street, Philadelphia, said: "There lsi no doubt In my mind that Tanlac saved my little boy's life. For two years I wouldn't have been a bit sur prised to have seen him drop oft at any time. He had stomach trouble and maay a time the gas pressed up into his chest, until his heart palpi tated eo I thought sure he couldn't breathe but a lew more gasps. But Tanlao gave hfnj back to us strong and well and we praise it to our dy ing day.". The effect of Tanlac on the deli cate stomachs of the young is one of the strongest evidences of its whole someness as well as its unusual mer it.' Although a powerful reconstruc tive'... Tanlac contains no harmful ingredients, minerals or opiates, which are so often found in other medicines. Being composed of the mq'efe beneficial roots, and herbs Jrtiywn to science it is purely vegeta ble and can be taken by the most del ickte children ,and does not upset or injure the weakest or most delicate stomach.

(By The Asso ciated Press) Benjamin West, ob scure pioneer in American art, though he later became painter to the King of England, at last has come into his own In his native land. his own in his native land. For the first time in the century and more since he was laid to rest in St. Paul's cathedral, London, along side Barry, Reynolds and Van Dyke, a comprehensive tpublic exhibit of West's works is being held in Phila delphia, near the place of his birth, by the Philadelphia Art Alliance. The exhibit covers twenty-eight selections, paintings and drawings, and, according to Albert Rosenthal, secretary of the committee In charge, presents a full view of West's power and versatility. "From painting portraits in Phila delphia for a mere subsistence, to be come the painter tp the King of En gland, standing with Reynolds and Lawrence in his profession, one of the founders of the Royal Academy and Its second president, succeeding Reynolds, seems a bit of romance rather than a statement of fact, Mr. Rosenthal said. "But such are the facte." West was born in the Quaker community of Springfield, now Swathmore, Pa., October 10, 1738. He began his career as an artist at seven, with a pencil drawing of his sister's baby, inspired when he saw the infant smile in its sleep. At eighteen he set up in Philadelphia as a portrait painter, moving on two years later to New York and, again, two years later, to Italy, where he worked three years. Next he invaded London, with a series of historic and religious paint lings, appearing as one of the lead ers of the revolt against the cur rent immltation of classic art. King George III quickly became Interest led in West and took him unedr his special patronage, appointing him I In 1772 historic painter to- the King, j He was one of the four artists who I presented to King George the plan jfor a Royal Academy; was one of jits founders, and at the death of pSir Joshua Reynolds, became its I second president. When he died in March, 1820., he was given a sepulture in St. Paul's as an academician. "The pall," says a contemporary historian, "was borne by a nobleman, ambassadors and academicians, and sixty coach es brought up the splendid proces sion. The onward sweep of art soon rel egated his works to the background, ranking them as "formal, tame, and wanting in that freedom of nature and that life which genius alone can breathe on the canvas." But the recently developed inter est in early American art increased the attention given to his work, and American artists and collectors at least are coming more and more to the conviction that contemporary Judgment which ranked him with the old masters was Justified. His better known historical and religious painting Include "The Death of Wolfe, Christ Healing the Sick," "Peter. Rejecting the Mas ter" and Death on the Pale Horse. The Art Alliance exhibition will continue until January 2. , GOOD TO EAT Yes, you will say so too after your try our Candy, fruit, stuffed figs, and stuffed dates.

But, oh what grief that order meant! Bryant Washburn as "John" has a terrible (and amusing) time recon ciling his tightwad ideas with the spendthrift crowd among whom he is thrown. John lost his sweetheart one day when he was unable to take her on ani excursion. Ills' inele had re fused to lend him five dollars and when his girl indignantly Jilted him, he vowed he never would be broke again. So he went to the city, made money and clung to It. He hated the tipping systm and as a result of his pentirlousness, he was dubbed "Burglar Proof", meaning that he was so tight, a charge of dynamite was needed to separate him from his money.

Physicians and surgeons have fallen upon lean times and complaints of dwindling practi ces are widesnread. The other dav a doctor from the fashionable Harley street district was sued in the courts for a small debt which he declared he was unable to pay because his practice had "dropped almost to the vanishing point." Fashionable doctors say that so many ordinary practitioners have had war-time experience with sur gery cases that, in thousands ot In stances, they now do their own op erating Instead of sending their pa tients to specialists. Another rea son is that many formerly well-to-do people who would in other circum stances have consulted a prominent physlclnn now go to hospitals where they obtain treatment at much lower cost. Others say that women now prefer to be attended by doctors ot their own sex, and that psychoanal ysis and various forms of faith heal ing account for the falling off in the number ot patients,
