HAS GREAT
FAITH
e. Gahan, Wichita Man, Strong
i'm His Belief.
SAYS Relief Came to Him i'm
Two Weeks Time.
GIVES CREDIT TO TANLAC
GIVES CREDIT TO TANLAC
Suffered for Years With Severe
Stomach Trouble.
States He Noticed Big Change
After Taking One Bottle.

One of the greatest proofs that a
remedy is all that it is recommended
to be, is the statements that are made
by those who have used it. This is the
main selling argument for Tanlac, the
magic medicine, that has brought re-
lief to thousands throughout the
United States.
E. Gahan, who resides at 724 S.
Water street, is one of the first to
testify in Wichita as to the merits of
Tanlac. He says:
IT have been a sufferer for some
years with stomach and indigestion
troubles, which caused me great pain
and inconvenience. Gas would form
on my stomach after eating, and 1
would swell and b1oat like I was going
to burst, relief only came after an
hour so of belching. 1t seemed the
simplest of foods would cause this to
occur, was losing weight, my APP
petite was very poor. l certainly was
uneasy about my condition.
About two weeks ago I read an
advertisement in the papers about
Tanlac, and it said that Tanlac was a
tonic for stomach trouble, 1 naturally
became interested, and decided to stop
in at Dockum's Drug Store the first
opportunity and buy a bottle. I had
tried to many remedies, did not
put much faith in Tanlac at first, but
decided to try it out and if I was not
benefited I would not be disappointed.
I have just finished taking the first
bottle and started on the second. If
my Improvement during the next two
weeks is as great the first, I be-
lfeve I will be rid of my ailments
completely.
To-day 1 feel much stronger, my
appetite has improved wonderfully, 1
am bothered very little with the gas
on my stomach, and for the short time
have used Tanlac, and the way it has
helped me 1 am not afraid to recon-
mend it any one who suffers as did"
In this connection, w G. Pope, by
whose personal direction the famous
medicine, Tanlac, referred to by Mr.
Gahan, is now reing demonstrated at
the TulIy- Mcfarland Drug Store,
Ninth and Kansas avenue, this city,
where Mr.. Pope is meeting the people
daily and courteously explaining Tan
lac, which begins its action by slim
ulating the digestive and assinilative
organs. thereby enriching the blood
and invigorating the whole body.

permitting the assimalable products
to be converted into blood, bone and

ing cause of disease-weakness- 1t

and mental and physical overwork.
quickens convalescence and is an un-
falling source of comfort to the aged
and infirm. By increasing all the
powers of endurance, it enables those
who use Tanlac to better encounter
fatigue, exposure and overwork."
Tanlac is obtainable at S1.00 per
bottle. three for 1915 or six bottles for
$500. Mail orders promptly filled

To PROTECT INVESTORS
Attorney General Urges Expulsion of
Several Companies From State.

Trust companies selling bonds in
Kansas must provide a bond that in
sures reasonable return to the in
weston. according to an opinion today
by John Hunt, assistant attorney gen
eral. The opinion was contained in a
letter to w. f. Benson state hank
commissioner.
One company doing business IN
Kansas offered a bond which required
a payment of $40 a year After three
annual payments the investor might
borrow $40 or receive a paid up GER
tificate for $116. After paying sS95,
the investor might borrow S349 A
similar scale was included throughout
the schedule.
Hunt holds that such propositions
do not pay reasonable return. that
many investors are unable to nav
more than one or two premiums and
that the losses to the investor are toe
heavy For that reason, he urges
that the ban be placed on such forms
of investment.

VICTIM OF TURKS
Abilene Girl at Missionary Post
i'm Armenia.
Topekans, Recently Returned,
Discredit Report Today.

Grave apprehension is felt here for
the safety of Miss Myrtle Shane, an
Abliene woman, who has been engag-
ed in missionary work at Bitlis, south
eastern Armenia for the past two
years. A report is out that two Amer
leans at that place were murdered by
kurds. The names of the supposed
victims are not given. 1t is known
that Miss Shane was one of the three
Americans at that place.
Miss Shane was for three years
school teacher at Abilene. &~ater she
taught school in Ohio for year before
entering the missionary service of the
congregational church. William Shane,
an uncle, lives at Abilene. Mrs. June
Thompson, a photographer of Law
renee, Kan, is a sister of Miss Shane.
Rev. Mr.. H. A. Maynard of Topeka,
who has charge of the post at Bitlis,
and Mrs. Maynard, returned from
Armenia some time ago. They left
Bitlis on May Is and since that time
have received only one message from
the post. That was a telegram, sent
aged American woman connected with
the post. Miss Shane was mentioned
in the message, SO it is known that
she was there at that time.
The death of the one woman left
three Americans and one German
nurse at the station.
Mr.. Maynard is inclined to discredit
the report. He said today that he
would take steps to find out the facts
of the case. THE American consul
keeps close watch over the mission
aries,' said Mr.. Maynard, land if this
report is true the consul would i'm
mediately notify our headquarters at
Boston" Only one of the Americans
stationed at Bitlis is a man, according
to Mr.. Maynard. The report says that
the two supposed victims were men.
Mr. and Mrs. Maynard have been in
Topeka since their return from Ar
menia. They are staying with Mrs.
Maynards father, o. H. White, of the
Topeka Transfer and Storage COM
pany. Mr.. Maynard said this after
noon, THE censorship is so strict that
we can receive no relia BILE word as to
the conditions over there. I can hard
ly believe this report until / receive

The secretary of the public service

and she had always supposed that all
pigs were white and hairless.

IRON SALES STILL HEAVY
81 Topeka Women Purchased EIcc-
trio Irons the Past Week.

Notwithstanding the rush and
hurry incident to Big Free Fair
week, the past two weeks were
banner weeks III Electric Iron
sales Last week 81 irons were
bought by Topeka women and the
week before 100. The heavy sales
were the result of the home dem
onstrations of irons and other cleo
trical appliances conducted by the
Edison Company's special repre-
sentatives.
1t really should not require a
demonstration of an electric iron
to sell 1t. Women who iron at al;
should at once realize the great su-
periority and greater convenience
of the electric iron over the old
fashioned sad iron. But "seein's

lions are always effective.

business at the state capitol building

the elevators out of commission, there
were free and open hearted express
sions concerning the system of making

During the summer vacation season,
nothing was done concerning the re-

that everyone has returned for the

shut down for a period of three or
four weeks There will be no heat
and no light. Neither will the eleva-
