Mexico Campaigns
Against Beggars
By Jack Starr-Hunt
MEXICO CITY March 6 —Mex-
ico is waging a campaign against
professional beggars.
A special committe has Just been
appointed by the Public Benevolent
TANLAC FREES
JOHN BURKHARDT OF
STOMACH TROUBLES
Flat on Back Super Medicine
Puts Him Back on Job
In a few days quicker than you
ever thought possible—that super
medicine Tanlac starts to prove
its merit. And amazing though it
may seem the more stubborn and
unyielding the case may be the
more remarkable is the work that
Tanlac does in straightening out
weak disordered stomachs. It’s a
real medicine formulated accord-
ing to modern medical science—
that’s why—not just a "patent
medicine” that makes a lot of ri-
diculous claims to cure every-
thing. Tanlac was prepared for
the specific purpose of strengthen-
ing the ailing organs of digestion
and because every ingredient in it
is designed for helping the good
work along it has won easy vic-
tories where everything else has
failed. And remember this when
stomach troubles are ended you’ll
be absolutely amazed at the way
bowel troubles constipation diz-
ziness headaches and even rheu-
matism usually disappear com-
pletely. Tanlac has brought glori-
ous new health to hundreds right
here in this town. Among the re-
cent cases is Mr. John Burkhardt
who says: “I was flat on my back
when I started taking Tanlac. A
few doses began to improve my
appetite my digestion grew better
and I was soon back on the job.”
Every mail brings enthusiastic
letters of testimonial—52.000000
bottles have been sold. Guaran-
teed by all the druggists so ac-
cept no substitute.
Society of the Federal District to
Investigate conditions and to re-
commend a remedy. Cooperating
with the benevolent society in the
campaign is the Mexico City news-
paper El Universal.
El Universal in recent articles has
exposed the fact that many of the
professional beggars In Mexico City
are wealthy By a series of photos
the newspaper has also called atten-
tion to the apparent misery of other
beggars. The erection of public
institutions and the launching of
other methods of suppressing beg
ging on the streeta has long bean
advocated here.
At present the Mexico Olty streets
are filled with beggars. There are
small children old women annleee
men and women and legless per-
sons. The beggars at present are so
numerous and the plight of many
of them appears so pitiful that a
portion of the income of nearly
every salaried person In Mexico
goes into their outstretched hands.
Ruins of an ancient Indian com-
munal colony near Globe Aril. are
to be restored.
